Guthar used commune with dead to speak with one of the Skaven killed by the Naga and received this message.
Naga took Mushroom Fields. Fields beneath ship. Only a strong leader could convince the skaven to confront the Naga directly.Not much to go on, but enough to convince the party to move west deeper into the ruins.
In the mean time The master had been unsettled, and was feeling the the land they were walking in was tainted and spoiled. He used the wall nut received from the spirit f the earth to purify the area, and confirm his suspicions.
The party found strange runes scrawled on the debris with in the ruins, which were determined to mean they were near some kind of hatching ground.
The party was confronted by a pack of Dire rats , which Johann cleverly distracted with rations as the rest of the party moved past. (random encounter)
A rough wooden gate made of lashed timbers was found blocking their path.
Willhelm almost fell into a pit trap which also summoned a naga guard.
The rest of the party hauled Willhelm out of the pit then confronted the guard.
The master turned into an eagle to swoop in and retrieve Willhelm's dropped hammer from the pit.
The naga guard smacked Guthar in the face with a bag containing three 6 foot long centipedes. Guthar took a bite on the face on the face, while the other giant centipedes scurried towards Willhem.
the master still as an eagle snatched up centipedes and ripped them apart with beak and talon.
Once engaged the Naga guard was quickly dispatched,
Willhem dismantled the wooden gate and the party proceeded.
They arrived at a Naga hatching ground, one of the rare areas where the sun warms the sandy ground enough to incubate eggs.
Crossed this field of egg mounds are the remains of a large building with the walls mostly blown out and a smashed ship crashed through the roof.
The Master who has by this point figured that NAga are simply not natural , starts smashing eggs and flinging naga fetuses around.
Understandably this pisses off the nagas in the nearby building and four of them come rushing to defend the egg clutches.
Johann casts an illusion to make a pit appear before them, every one buys it, even Willhelm can not bring himself to step over the well crafted illusion.
One of the Naga throw a spear but miss, the other begins casting a spell , but gets interrupted by Guthar casting a light spell on its face.
The three naga stymied begin to fall back to regroup, until the Master brazenly throws and egg at which point the naga with the light spell on his face goes bezerk and does every thing in it's power to kill the Master. After a bloody fight the naga's are dead or route back to the nearby building.
the Master turns into a small snake and follows the routed Naga into the building, the rest of the party climbs the ruined exterior to examine the crashed boat.
The Master finds:
- The three Naga that ran waiting for an ambush.
- He goes lower into the ruins
- Finds a the bow section of the crashed ship and a cave
- the bow is destroyed ripped to pieces.
- Several gnome skeletons are lashed to the ship with nooses, they have been here a long time.
- A ancient and strange apparatus ripped from the hull of the ship, like a rune scrawled anvil with several pipes coming out of it and rotted chair attached.
- A cave of giant mushrooms the naga harvest to feed skaven slaves they are making dig in the ruins.
- Many more naga.
- One much larger naga with wings and several other snake heads growing from it's head, Medusa style.
The rest of the party finds:
- The stern of the ship where ti crashed through the building .
- Many dad gnome skeletons lashed to the ship by nooses.
- A Naga guard they defeat.
- A sleeping Naga they defeat.
- Many brass pipes that match the brass pieces Johann had found before.
- The whole interior of the ship is gnome scale and glows slightly. (like a room where someone left an old TV on.)
- A sleeping Naga, which Willhelm smashed the brains out of.
- They found a lacquer box with a strange set of gloves made of leather and having red chain mail backing. (Johann)
The master turns into a bat and flys upward to join the party.
As a group they find:
- Several Skaven corpses the Naga have been feeding on, raw.
- The desiccated corpse of a strange creature that matches the skeleton that was found so many months ago in the temple under the pond at Boyer's farm.
- A strange glowing blue light about the size of a lantern light that hovers in the air, and seems to exert it's own small gravitational field.
The party is now in the belly of the ship just aft of the ruined bow.
The naga know they are around, the original three retreating Naga have reported their presence to the leader.
No place to hide at the moment.
No chance to rest at the moment.

No place to hide at the moment.
No chance to rest at the moment.
They must decide to move forward deeper into the naga cave or retreat and regroup.
