Session 09

The group rests briefly after their encounter with the Merrow. Some healed their wounds more than others. The Kid thought to scavenge the dead merrow and got 6 meat.

RESULT: Aria and Troub at full health.
The kid barely alive - but alive. Buckie mostly healed.
The kid got 6 fish fillets.

We continued on.

We found a wooden building on stilts. There's lots of patchwork clothes hanging outside. The windows are blacked out.

The troubadour goes and knocks on the door!

### Fight Fire with Water

They are called in. A distressed Bullywog is running around trying to put water on a bunch of animated coals.

Combat begins. Tom and Buckie throw water at the coals, and then dash outside to refill their buckets. Troubador makes noise and hurts them. Aria flies out to refill her bucket. ...this continues for far too long and too many people get far too injured.

Eventually, Buckie realizes Sally can refill the bucket. Buckie begins patting people out of fire. Eventually all the fire is out.

Wigglewog and Morgort - they were tryig to steal one of the baloons and set fire to the factory...so that Bevlorna can't make more balloons. Wigglewog took Talavar from Bevlorna... They wanted to prevent her from travelling? So ... we need to talk to King Galup.
Off we go...

### Clapperclaw and the Kings

On the way, we meet Clapperclaw. He is sad on the bridge with a gourd for a head...it turns out the damn rabid brigade stole it. If we help him find his head, he'll take us to Thither.

The heads belong to the former kings of downfall. They can still talk because, ya know, "magic!" - right, magic. Got it. They mention that the new King is Weak, and may be on his way out.

They explain, the soggy court (the court of the king) stole Talavar from Bevlorna.

No one wants to move against Bevlorna ... Agdon is also an issue.

### The King and We

While visiting the King, someone hands Buckie a chalice which has a message that tells them to " "Find Illig, the Baron of Muckstump, at once. The revolution lives!""

The king has a book he was given, Bevlorna's bad blood ... it was given to him by a dark little fellow from a stormy balloon.

### The Stormy Balloon Merchants

The group heads east to meet the book giver. Which is a creepy ass merchant.

The stormy balloon from the docks is One of Those Stores. They have for sale:

* Very good thimble (fingertip not included)
* Mug of Bumble Beer (has a nice sting to it)
* Duskmallow pie (with decorative bite marks)
* Bundle of dry wood (great for starting fires)
* Ink portraits (if we have to look at you, so should you)
* Moonlight monocle (no more fumbling in the dark)

The Kid trades the colour of his eyes for the Monocle, now all his personas have the same cool/creepy eyes, where the iris is replaced by a sort of blank 'void' effect. Looking at it feels like your eyes are playing tricks on you.

### Quests

* Get Clapperclaw [a] Head - Agdon stole Clapperclaw's stag skull head, he wants us to get it back
* A quest from the King Galup XIX - We are to go to the sinking palace to get the garb of the Soggy court, and then bring the book to Bevlorna, saying the king's people found it, and get him in her good graces.
* Dethrone Bevlorna?
* Who gave us the book? - the stormy book people -> king -> us. return to bevlora for the king.?

End Session.
