Session 10

## 2022-01-11 - Session 10

The group's options:

* go to meet illig
* go get uniforms from the castles
* go to bevlorna
* go off book and meet up with agdon

First, they went to the castle and got uniforms. They decided to find Illig so they could try to learn more about the the situation. They tried to find out where Illig might be. Buckie couldn't find out by hinting. ToMF couldn't either. Buckie had Sally scout the different islands for other land or Bollywogs. As they reached the southern end of the island complex, Aria thought of going back to ask the prisoner (Wigglewog's friend)where the Muckswamp rebels were. Before they do that, they ask the balloon frog people where the Muckswamp is are directed south - the other side of the river where they arrived in the land.

### Seeking Baron Muckswamp

and they managed to find their way to the Muckswamp town. They were directed to "one of the houses" in the town by some guards in a watchtower. The guards have a clothes line that is tied from the watchtower to "Her House." They removed their soggy court insignia and ToMF began knocking on doors, just like Ze Uncle would have.

House 1 - No answer.

House 2 - the met the king's steed - a giant toad. It had a guard in its throat when they opened the door. The guard explained it liked to sorta eat people...and spit them them out later. But could we just watch the toad for 10 minutes while he took a bath? We did. ToMF attempted to convince it not to eat him. It agreed, but eventually lost control of itself and bit him while trying to swallow him. ToMF took like 20 damage but escaped. Shortly later the guard returned and thanked the group for their efforts.

Going back to House 1, ToMF decided to let himself in. Within he found 1 very stressed - and armed - bollywog in front of a pile of hunting equipment. 3 other bollywogs stood in tense discussion across the room. They motioned TomF to enter.

Buckie as ks Aria to scout with her power of flight. Aria asks him to go keep an eye on ToMF. This was good as ToMF has found Illig. Illig is highly suspicious and threatens to kill them. Buckie suggests they were sent to aid him...Aria returns and joins them. Illig tells them he plans to stab the king in the eye. After a tense moment, the Illig tells them to leave and Buckie agrees...

### Now What?

They head back to the watch tower and rest briefly. Unsatisfied with ToMF's healing, Buckie casts a (healing) spell on him..

They explore House 3, which smells of dead fish due to a chest of cooking supplies in it. They examine the chest and find nothing in it. Then, Aria takes them to see a very pretty tree with all sorts of things hanging from it - including a clothes line, meaning this is Her House. "NOPE NOT TODAY" -> they nope out of there.

### Heart Swaps

They explore a field of mushrooms and find a very flat affect elf playing very sad music. He says he is Octavious and that he went to Bevlorna for help forgetting his lost loves, but then was unwilling to pay her price, so she replaced his heart with a goat heart. Aria asks how? "Magic" he replies. He will pay us handsomely if we were to bring him is heart back.

The group decided to go to sleep in House #3, they light a fire on the dry dirt floor, and are warm and dry :)
Buckie and Sally gather dinner/breakfast for the group. The kid suggests they will \*only\* aim to return the book to Bevlorna tomorrow to see if they can get a sense of things with her. If things look hopeful, they will attempt to get the items back from Bevlorna, if not...they will depart without getting into a fight and figure out a plan.
