The Danger Gang Auxiliary Get Their Asses Handed To Them Underwater

The Danger Gang Auxiliary sail out to where Eorl believes there is an underwater dungeon aboard Solevei's S.S. Duck. He asks a couple of Mermen what the score is, and they say nobody is supposed to go there. The Danger Gang shrugs off such admonissions and dive beneath the waves, all enchanted with Water Breathing. The [[Crimson Cutlass] mans the Lobster Barrel, having smeared it with a crimson dye and re-dubbed it The Apparatus Of Crimson. Little does he know that it is bad luck to rename a sea-going vessel...

At the mouth of the cave, they find three beautiful mermaids, their long blonde hair flowing in the currents. They claim to have lost their combs in the cave. Eorl intimates to Arben that this is bullshit and asks him to keep their attention. Arben shoots the shit with these ladies while Xenon oggles them lustily. Once in the cave, Eorl gets attacked by a Merro. Then another Merro emerges from behind our boys. The three ladies then turn into Sea Hags. The guys are quickly overrun by these freaks and their assorted paralyzing magic, including an Evil Eye which is effective even against those with Free Action. The gang busts out of there and back aboard the duck. Solevei casts some sort of crazy first edition illusion that makes the boat look like a volcano. They sail away.

Solevei tries to convince them that maybe those monsters were just passing by. Everyone finds that highly unlikely. It is agreed; fuck this. They sail to the Oracle at Didima. Eorl asks about how to stop The Slayer Of Men and Wirshin asks why he keeps wanting to burn down Mosques. They both get answers.
