C1S15: No One Outdoes the Hut

  is the fifteenth session of the first campaign.

Synopsis
The group fought with the gargantuan Deep Python eel creature. In the first moves of the fight, Badis made a big splash by turning into a giant sperm whale landing on the eel. The eel tried to fight back biting into Che, but had its health lowered enough by Iron Maiden's giant shark form and Badis as the sperm whale. It attempted to flee, but a flying eagle lobbing lightning strikes via Badis, short bow sniper shots via Che, and Iron Maiden cheering along took it down taking a piece of its being as rations.

The group rested and chatted with the Mirwins about society versus nature in the Empire as well as Uthodurn. Saying their goodbyes, the party made their way to the Ounterloch River's side to realize that where they were was too long to cross. They went northward and made camp for the night. In the night, the group were subjected to strange visions: Che seeing a woman on the water in the moonlight, Iron Maiden seeing a human man and female elf in the darkness of the trees, and Badis seeing her friend Col in the water’s reflection. Beyond these visions, the party had a restful sleep.

On the 7th of Fessuran, the party visited the swamp town of Berleben. In the morning, they met with some of the grouchy denizens such as a fish merchant and a sad teenage girl selling clothes. They met a chipper general store salesman who seemed to be shiftier than he let on. Seeling some items, he also treated the group to an experience, which turned out to be an establishment where purveyors were able to watch two individuals engage in coitus on stage for their entertainment. On stage was the familiar face and priest collar of Pious Pete, the excommunicated sex-fiend now focused on becoming a star. He finished up and met with the party to explain that the lack of oversight in Berleben was the best place to start his business. Having their fun, the group said their goodbyes and made their way out of town. Approaching the river's edge, the group found this area of the Ounterloch River more manageable. With a ritualistic water walk performed by Badis, the group made their way across the river.

About halfways across, the group was beset by a Swamp Elemental who engaged with them in a quick altercation, but with some satiating through calm words and rations, the elemental and other ensuing creatures left them alone. Now hurrying across the river, the group made it safely, but not before the Cloven Crystal Badis kept in her bra began to burn as two eldritch blasts were shot above Iron Maiden’s head revealing two fish-like humanoid individuals with curved swords covered in barnacles a fair distance away, the same as the ones in the Gentleman’s warehouse.
