Get That Bastard Brugra

## Prologue

After Brugra the Bawdy mysteriously escaped their clutches in the West Station Underpass, the heroes decided they should attempt to re-capture him so as to attain his hefty bounty.

Due-Rag had Cash sniff the trace on Brugra’s Blade of Binding and they followed Cash out of the Underpass and into a dark thicket ways away from the West Station. The only things they found were the two horses that once belonged to the guards and their wagon carrying a disturbing individual named Demsas Dhurdath bound by chains.

He tells you that he is a dark paladin from Gerzen and he requests you free him and in return, he can provide gold and even heal your diseases. He emits a strong aura of evil, making everyone uncomfortable.

## The Quest

Cash led the party into a dark swamp, hot on Brugra’s trail. Alfie noticed that they were being followed by a massive Black Widow spider. After traveling for almost the entire night, Cash came to a sudden stop in a quagmired ravine that sparkles with mysterious—but beautiful—blue fairy light. Everyone’s spells are reset. In front of you seems to be some sort of ragged commune of swamp huts. Cash takes a defensive stance and begins to growl. He’s sees something in the shadows.

The players decide to decapitate Demsas out of fear that he may hurt them. They keep his severed head in an attempt to potentially secure his bounty.

The heroes meet Fluffy, a manticore loyal to a family of lizardfolk warriors who live in the small commune isolated from the rest of the world. They're able to convince the Manticore that they come in peace and are friends of its masters. They begin to explore the swamp huts and find Brugra hung upside down by his tail on a tree.

Meanwhile, Dirt and Alfie explore the outskirts of the commune and discover a baby elephant held captive in a cage. They learn that the elephant was sold by the lizardfolk to a famous circus ringleader named Korbo.

Back near the huts, the players accidentally trigger an alarm trap and they are greeted by the eldest sister and youngest brother of the family, Ocugniss and Kex. Ocugniss attempts to barter with Eca in an attempt to trade the Blade of Binding for the access to their brother's bounty. After some tense discussion, the two are close to securing a deal when the final brother, Tazgaags, appears from being invisible. Father Sam Lutty discovers that Tazgaags is a member of the Order of the Crimson Dawn and loses his temper and immediately attacks, runing any chance of a peaceful deal.

After an arduous battle, the heroes defeat all three siblings. Pizpot disguises as the diety of the Order and succesfully decieves Tazgaags and convinces him to slit his own throat. Ocugniss and Kex are defeated in combat.

After the battle, the heroes search Tazgaags' hut—which is surrounded by dead bodies—and find a child named Tinesi Bimyar held captive in a cage. They save her from the cage and find a note from Cthoos revealing that the child was given to Tazgaags from Cthoos himself, as a "gift" for study. They also find a strange vial of grey sludge but decide not to drink it.

## Epilogue

As the heroes pack up to bring their prisoner to Ruuxbert, Pizpot accidentally plays a note on his flute so foul that it wakes up Brugra and he is able to escape again.
