A Whispering Flood: Ship of Fools I (GRP, Jaern)
Plot Synopsis
The party arrives at the statehouse of Riptide Peak in the Great Rice Patty and is hired to get rid of a group of Onivero causing trouble around town. They go and speak with the Onivero, who explain that there is a "nest" in a ship offshore which will cause devastation if it is allowed to make landfall. The Onivero are very strange, carrying weapons and seemingly having a form of psionic shielding. Instead of using telepathy, they are speaking out loud in stilted Paroli. The party offers to help, if the Onivero leave after it is done. They agree, and the party heads out to the ship. Siya, Kisha, and Rhea swimming underwater see that there is a strange tendril of sea creatures fused into muscular flesh attached to the bottom of the ship, anchoring it. Kisha guesses that it has something to do with Onivero construction. Siya takes a bite of some flesh. Rhea, in octopus form, slips inside through a sphinctered, fleshy hole, and sees a procession of sea monsters feeding a massive octopus beak similar regressed flesh pieces as what Siya ate. One of them notices her and tries to grab her, but she slips away.
The Onivero caution that the nest learns fast, and the party should be careful with what they do - but they must sink the ship, so the nest cannot move towards the coast. The party tries to burn the ship, but the sea monsters are oddly adept in fighting the fire and their sheer numbers overwhelm the party fast. They retreat and regroup back to the town, where they go into a strange Neptunian temple overlooking the town. The archdeacon is eerily silent, and they are rushed out of the temple by a younger acolyte. Alette looks inside through a leaky gap in the roof, and watches the "Neptunians" perform a ritual where they sacrifice a sea monster, eat part of it, and dissolve the rest into a strange mixture which they then pour into a channel which empties into the ocean.
Unsettled, but exhausted, the party decides to rest in a local inn for the night. They eat and drink, and Siya passes out after attempting a challenge to finish a rice sashimi bowl covered with "Beneath's 8th Layer" sauce. They turn in for the night, and the camera cuts to the temple's archdeacon leaping into the ocean and swimming towards a blinking blue light in the distant fog.
