## Mission Notes

Arriving to the Guild in all their finery, our party of adventurers were introduced to their mission by Samuel one of head clerks. It was explained to the glamorous cohort that newly inhabited Heasmouth had written in a request of assistance with a giant sea monster.

Using the note, Rain transported the party to Heasmouth Town Hall. Leaving and making their way to the shoreline, our adventurers met with Billy the Fisherman and Old man Jim talking about a new monster crab that had invaded the town and needed getting rid of. With simple questioning it was revealed the crab hadn't actually done anything and all supposition was circumstantial at best. The crab apparently stayed with Tom the Lighthouse keeper further along the shore.

Arriving at the Lighthouse our adventurers befriended Tom and leaned towards his side of the story. Tom explained that the giant crab had turned up and displayed high social intelligence and they had begun to become friends. He'd hidden and protected the crab from the locals not that, the crab needed much protecting. Engendering themselves with Tom and the crab, the gargantuan crab lifted out of the rocky sand behind the lighthouse, having been there all along and lifted and waved a white flag in the air.

After a long game of crab charades, it was discovered that the crab had come from the sea where the residents of Heasmouth had dumped all the former zombie corpses from the town. Those corpses had attracted a large fish that made the crab run away.

Bosu took to the sea as an invisible shark to scout the waters finding a whirlpool of zombie chum with a huge purple fish monster at its heart. Our adventurers convinced the Gargantuan crab to enter the water and go after the fish with them. With Aloissius and the crab attempting to encourage Aldier who was scared of drowning to go with them. Using a mixture of breathing bubbles and water breathing spells the party made their way to the fish. Arriving IO attempted to talk the fish, but the fish only saw the party as food.

After dealing some impressive damage given the underwater circumstances, eventually the crab joined the fight clawing into the fish before Sharian finished it off cutting deeper into the huge wounds made by the crab.

Returning to the shore, Rain dragged back the huge dead purple fish monster and heralded the crab as the saviour of town. After some debate and confusion, Aloissius took a more intimidating and commanding tone and the townsfolk began to listen. At this point Timothy arrived in a suit attempting to purchase the crab from the town for his travelling circus, but his timing and reading of the situation left a lot to be desired and was forced to leave with his tail between his legs.

Diplomatic relations repaired some headed back to the guild, while others took some time to enjoy the coastline.

## Rumours

* There's a gargantuan crab now that stays near Heasmouth, surely no story can come of that?
* The Townsfolk and the crab are just friends now, yeah?
* The zombie eel era of Heasmouth is over now then, right?
