===Day 2 [Salamander 6]===

Stella rolls a 2!  But adds her karma, instead getting a 6.  Noticeably better…

Vidan, Stella, and Scout notice a squad of merfolk swimming across our path; they’re heading NW where we’re going east.  

Gale casts Breathe Water and then hails the merfolk.  But also only gets one success on Charisma, so they seem to notice but not change path.  Gale passes out Breathe Water and Underwater Action runes.

Vidan tries, using his Oratory, invoking our mutual enemy the slith, and is mighty!  8 successes means they pay attention, and 3 Fortune means at least someone seems to understand it.  Some of them break off and head in our direction, tridents out.  (Where would they put the tridents, anyway…?)  We await our doom.

“What you say slith.”<br>
“We fight slith.  You fight slith.”<br>
“You fight slith where.”<br>
“Coast.”<br>
“Coast not our problem.”<br>
“You follow?”

We agree to follow.
After a day [Salamander 7], we run into the slith army combat!  There are five mer units, and 3 slith units.  We are also a small unit.  Huh.  Apparently we will engage.

* Stella heals a unit
* Gale coordinates some merfolk units
* Vidan makes it clear what we're doing
* Diomarche shatters the wounded slith unit
* Scout catches us up to the slith, and drops a recon miracle on the merfolk 

The slith start retreating deeper, pursued by the merfolk.  

At the end of the day, the speaker mer comes and finds us:
“Good work.  We win, they lose.  What you name?  Tell King.”
“Conclave Free Rangers!  What king name?”
“Pike.”

Gale wilds up a protect-paper-from-water spell, and we give them a Tarn Evidence Packet to give to the King.  We tell them that the coast wants to help fight slith.

The slith had metal weapons and armors– swords and the like.  The merfolk were using tridents but were using items of weaker materials, e.g., shells and stones, maybe?
