A few days after the exploration of Durlag's Tower, Hsing finds the group in Beregost. He frantically reports that he was seperated from SEER while exploring the ruins of Ulcaster's school of magic and he cannot locate her.

We set off to find SEER, and on arriving, witness three stone giants killing traveling priests of Lathander that had stopped at the ruins to rest. Moments later, Kalte blacks out. When he comes to, Broca, Flagg, and Dusk tell him that he was possessed by the spirit of Ulcaster himself. Ulcaster asked the group to locate the magic jar where his spirit has been hidden away, then to find where his followers interred his body in the crypts below.

Pushing aside a stone cover, we make our way into the cellars and dungeon of the old school of magic. We discover the expected undead, with Kalte dispatching a half-dozen vampire spawn and a handful of wraiths with little trouble. Dusk, Broca, and Flagg put down as many and a pair of oozes as well. In a space secreted behind a panel in Ulcaster's Lab, we were able to restore the archmage to his body from the jar, effectively resurrecting him.

Following the other tunnel, we discover SEER is enthralled by a vampire named Levanna, which we quickly dispatched by Dusk turning Flagg invisible and the ranger and bard assassinating the vampire's physical form in seconds. A wizard named Max and previously unknown to the group, created the sunlight needed to utterly destroy the nightwalker before she could misty escape.

SEER seems weakened, but not permanently harmed. We took her back to Beregost to recover.

+ 1 potion of Superior Healing. Kalte also exchanges some of his coin to take his payout in the form of a ruby-and-emerald-encrusted ivory statuette of a wizard, worth 1,500gp and a jade statuette of Mystra with seven pearl stars, worth 250gp.

SEER sends us back into the space beneath Ulcaster's ruined arcanum to clear out the pirates and looters sent by Baron Rajiram. They are seeking Ulcaster's personal library and chambers, which he had placed in a secret demiplane.
The combat is less than challenging as the master thieves, swashbucklers, and mages sent by the Baron are easily dispatched, even when sent at us a dozen at a time.
The shield guardians, golems, and spirit naga are equally easy to remove.

*+ potion of healing (superior)

SEER calls the team to her tower, briefing them on the reappearance of the Isle of Xxiphu. Baron Rajiram’s forces have begun to explore a mysterious island. She believes an aboleth artifact is warping the Weave of Magic and is the Baron's likely goal. After allowing the group to select additional gear, she introduces us to a flight of bronze dragons that will take us to the island.
The dragons deliver us to sea elves in the ocean near the island. They tell us that their princess has gone with a vanguard, give the adventurers potions of water breathing, and the underwater infiltration begins. Entry is denied by a number of sahaugin and their giant sharks. In the last chamber before the surface of the island, the crew finds the Princess of the sea elves being tortured by sahaugin and free her.

Story Award: Purple Crystal of the Isle These crystals are columnar in nature; long slender
prisms of a translucent purple mineral. The crystals detect as magical and radiate conjuration magic. Detailed investigation determines that they are not native to the Prime Material Plane, instead being formed by a manifestation of the Far Realm. The crystals can focus psychic energy, with a particular application to the control of constructs.

When I saw that axe sitting in SEER's weapons locker, I knew it had Dani's name all over it. I mean, not really, but an unbreakable Greataxe brought her to mind.
Not sure that I know what to do with this harp, but she says she got it from a lich that was an apprentice of the Mad Mage of Undermountain. It has magic butterflies that play it for you. Somebody is going to want this thing.
