Perched above the cavernous abyss consuming the blood red river, the Heroes debated the ethics of removing items from the tomb for use in the coming anticipated cataclysmic battle between good and evil and law and chaos. Kamist argued that the Djinn Wind Dukes were long dead (*cough* maybe not) and that any magic found below in the tomb of Icosiol could be used to drive off the servants of Kyuss and prevent the Age of Worms. He argued with Egwaine, who bound by the dogma of Kelemvor, found disturbing the grave and burial tomb of a long dead soul sacrilege and forbidden. Kamist finally convinced her and drove home the argument by asking the question, "Are you saying that the traditions of a dead civilization are more important than the lives of millions".
While the argument concluded, the Heroes observed Storn measuring the speed of the river by sailing a small wooden boat and measuring how long it took for the boat to pass a known distance, thus determining the speed. After some other calculations Storn produced a small mechanical device and determined direction as compared to the cardinal directions on a small compass (thus determining direction and now velocity, a vector, containing both the magnitude, or speed, and direction). A few calculations later Storn estimated his location on a map of known underground tunnels. With a smug look of success and not saying anything Storn stoically returned the map to his backpack and lumbered up the rock side to the Heroes (Storn has recorded this source of Stornium for future exploitation).
Tyree had an epiphany and seems to notice how attractive Egwaine is when she is arguing and began to treat her like a lady. He tried to gain the attention of the others for a story but the argument drowned out any attempt at the point he was trying to make.

After some magical casting the Heroes devised a method to fly down while carrying other Heroes on their backs. Though clumsy, this method of vertical travel was much more logical than attempting to scale the slippery cavern. Down and down the Heroes descended:
-The First Narrows/Ledge
-The Lake/Beach/Wind Duke Attack/Ledge
-The Basin/Beach/Red Hide Vicejaw Crocodile/Ledge
-The Cascade/ Wind Duke Second Attack/Cave/Secret Passage
Will the Heroes ever find the true Tomb of Icosiol? and What magic will be found awaiting the clutches of Rumple in his quest for ancient powerful artifacts in service to the Seekers of Waterdeep? Will Tyree attract the attention of Egwaine with his Uthgardt panache. And will Menelvagor ever figure out exactly how these seemingly independent lines of plot intersect? For the answers to these questions and more, tune in to the next session of the Age of Worms.
