Shad's heroic sword quest
the night of our We Love Nyx Afterparty at South Salt Creek Beach, an OrangeFire member's uniquely-made kevlar-and-steel firesword was left behind along the way as we left. when its absence was realized, Shad volunteered to go back down to the beach alone, with a lantern staff & his photons as his only light, & search for the lost sword. most of an hour later, he found it, after diplomatically investigating other camps rumored to have pirated items among them, saving beached squids, & fighting off live ones which threatened to bite him with their beaks. it was lonely work, he could only see a few feet at a time, & the sword lay in a trench in the sand, where he found it, not even by sight, but by determined reconnoitering, the 3rd time he passed over it in the darkness of the trench's bottom. sword in hand, our hero climbed back to the city above where a ride came back, on its 3rd time, to pick him up.
