Nineteenth Session – The party heads back to Fythorp to recuperate and gather questlines.
But first on the way back to town, we finally encounter some goblins. Gallfred Weasel (Bruce’s character) got a magic sword that can be thrown at goblins and we have not met a single goblin in all 18 previous sessions which drives him absolutely bananas. They are leading some enslaved pilgrims but they could be handing out toys to orphans for all it matters, their fate was sealed when they entered our zip code.
Gallfred gets a quest from poisoner monks to root through some island dungeon. Sadly our travels and later campaign events have him not turning in that quest until a calendar year later.
Also, Podrick, Old Man Fish, and Mordecai go to collect giant beavers whose musk is used in the weird midsummer “Temptation’s Embrace” festival in town. We meet a pirate shanty singer named Charmeine – who, spoiler alert, we have to kill in banshee form about a year later. Alas. I woulda tipped her more had I known.
We also discover the salt mines have a weird demon cult in them to “Snuggoo.” They mainly take drugs and sleep. Hemp and Gallfred visit to get some vision-dream-inducing lamprey milk and we decide they’re mostly harmless. Mordecai gets a giant hard on against them for no reason we can figure out. He tries to get us to kill them, he tries to sneak in to kill them himselve, he tries to get the mayor to kill them, he tries to get Lady Skeam to kill them… Everyone else is like “eh.” This leaves him pretty irritated.
The milk does let Hemp and Morgan dream – he gets a quest from Aphiel to go mess with some guy named Glipkerio and then they have hot dream sex. (Hemp and Morgan, not Hemp and Aphiel, though I’m not saying that’s not on the table).
