Twenty-Second Session (8 page pdf) – “Regeneration Run” – The crew puts together an extra gimpy away team to head to the shrine on Argavist Island. But a pair of ambushes reveals a greater threat than the island usually holds!
To remind everyone of past events, back in Chapter One (Sessions 23, 24, 25) the party went to get Jaren the Jinx’s arm regenerated on Argavist Island; I comboed up a randomly generated dungeon with Wicked Fantasy Factory’s “Throwdown with the Arm-Ripper” for the occasion.
But first – Samaritha finally decides it’s time to give Serpent the news – she’s pregnant! Apparently the magic of Wedding Rock back on Nal-Kashel did the trick, even though she’s a serpentfolk. (I mean, it is kinda used as deep one-on human-roofies in From Shore to Sea, so I figured it’s reasonable – and dramatic!)
Then they scout out the island nervously (they know there’s some doppelgangers on the loose there, and so their paranoia level is high). They find a couple goblins – an an assload of killer Ulfen! That’s quite a surprise and they have a good fight, and follow their trail back to find – an entire Ulfen invasion fleet wintering there on the island, to get the early-spring drop on somebody! And the flagship flies the banner of none other than White Estrid.
This causes the pirates to shit their pants good. White Estrid is the Linnorm King who sacked Nisroch, ran the blockade at the Arch of Aroden, and defeated and enslaved a live linnorm. Nautical lore indicates she’s some mix of demon, white witch, giant, and murder-hobo and she’s here with dozens of Ulfen longships. Run away!!!!!
