Don't Look At The Blowhole

## Description

A lost diplomat! A mysterious bard! More songs than are strictly necessary!

## Synopsis

They arrive at the refuge in Hestavar to visit Mother Bullmoose a superior priestess who Bethanee is to report to. The party all meet Mother Bullmoose. She sends Freezo away to the room of trials to be tested before he can continue with Bethanee. Bethanee declares that Bethanee’s Godsquest begins today. The first task is checking on Helian an emissary to Elvandor who has not checked in for 5 days.

To help Bethanee they are assisted by Pristina Caulk a blue skinned elf with regular sized bosoms, she is one of the Dolphin Prince’s emissary. Mother Bullmoose gives the party a chit to get supplies from Quartermaster Orrix and a sending stone to communicate with Helian. They have a group hug before they depart.

Bushu and Pristina sing songs to each other before they head off to their bedrooms. They share rooms with Kit and Bethanee sharing one room and Bushu and Pristina sharing the other.

In the morning they head to the Quartermaster Orrix for an adventure bag. Bethanee wishes the Orrix a good day and promises to send him a postcard. Pristina sings a love song to Bushu again gaining a potion of restoration from the impressed quartermaster. Kit Gingerson interrogates Bushu about the night with Pristina. Bushu states that he lied awake in fear of being ambushed in the night. Kit also says he understands that Bushu and Freezo are lovers. Bushu strongly denies this once again.

They arrive at the banks of the lake and they jump on the folding long boat. Pristina uses her Lute to make the boat motor along towards Elvindar. Pristina states she was raised in the swamp and not the sea which makes her quite embarrassed. Kit sings a Love song for Bushu and Freezo

They arrive at the court of the Dolphin Prince. Pristina lays down the ground rules for meeting the Dolphin Prince. She advises them not to look at the blowhole and to look at one eye or the other not in the gap between the eyes. Kit and Bethanee flawlessly introduce themselves to the Dolphin Prince. They make enquiries about Helian Helios. He was last seen by a nearby cliff. Pristina asks for to be stationed in the sea. After her song fails to convince the Dolphin Prince they exit hastily.

Pristina calls the Dolphin Prince a Bleepdorp. Dane a emissary of the reefmother guides then to the last place Helian was seen painting by the cliff face. Bethanee finds an easel in the long grass. He has drawn cracks in the side of the cliff. Pristina dives down the cliffs into the waves and see the giant crack in the cliff. She talks to some fish to find out more information. They have seen two dark fishy people take a pink person through a crack halfway in the mountain. After the bard sings a song to them it’s revealed that the dark ones are “Saughagin”

Bushu uses featherfall for them to gently fall into the crack in the cliff. Sharks approach and Bethanee sends a boat down to keep Pristina safe.  She sends a rope down to Pristina Kit can extort Pristina. Kit feels put out by Pristina and asks Pristina to apologise to the role. Pristina sings a song of apology to the rope.

They climb into the pitch black cave before they come across two Suahagin. Pristina reads their thoughts as Bethanee tries to communicate with hands the groups aim to retrieve Helian. The Sauhagin misinterpret this as a threat to end their lives and attack.

They all attack and with some Bardic inspiration from Pristina the party easily defeats one of the Sauhagin while the other dives into the lake. Kit dives into the lake after the Sauhagin and gets trapped in the seaweed. Bethanee (wearing chain mail) dives in after Kit and sinks to the bottom of the lake. Pristina dives in, removes the chainmail before helping Bethanee swim back to the surface.

Pristina comments on the large temple she saw under the water. They use the sending stone to talk to Helian Helios. He is being held underwater in a room with four walls and no windows. Bushu transforms into a fish dragon and swims back down with Pristina. They sneak down and swim over the gate and enter what was once a stable that is now being used  as a prison. They find and free Helian. They’re cornered by Sauhagin. Bushu grabs Helian and runs away while Pristina fights the Sauhagin. Pristina attempts to use her motorised Lute to get away, she crashes into a wall and is taken captive by the Sauhagin.

## Songs

Tom Cardy was the guest on this episode playing the bard Pristina Caulk. As such there was a gluttony of songs in this episode.

Pristina’s Song for Bushu:

Bushu, I love you too
And if maybe, we could be one but two
My Bushu
Bushu’s Rap:

Pristina,
You like walk up and down the street
On your feet
It’s nice to meet you
Do you think, you could write me another song
Another time
Maybe later?
Ok
Bushu Out
Pristina’s second song for Bushu:

There’s only one man who gets me
His name is Bushu
There’s only one man who likes me.
His name is Bushu
I like him too, and I like him through and through
Cause his name is Bushu
Kit's Song:

The gentle touch of a lovers hand,
Can do a lot to soothe a man
A man whose grumpy does not like to be touched.
Not much, no not much.
It just takes that special fellow
To make a harsh man mellow
The gentle touch, of a loving hand
Pristina’s Song for The Dolphin Prince:

Being one can take its role
I love my god and I love his blowhole
Eating fish and eating it fast.
Now everyone, have a dance
Pristina’s song to the fish:

Fishy little fishy can’t you see
I just want you to help me
Tell me about the murderous things
That live below the sea, below the sea
Tell me, Please
Sorry to a Rope
The world is flat
And I’m okay with that.
And then I’m told
Someone said nope
And I’m sorry to a rope
And now we don’t have boat
Because of this big cat
Bardic inspiration:

You’re a cat
Fancy that.
It’s taken a toll.
And your best friends won’t even touch
Your butthole
