The Twenty-Second Session

Upon returning to Peradoc from the Howling Banshees hideout, Shag told his parents about what happened with him leaving college and becoming an adventurer. They were very uncomfortable with everything they were told, especially with the bad A feast was thrown and everyone got very drunk so his parents could have an easier time processing everything they were told. Levi marveled at the quality of the Widestem Leaf in Peradoc. The group then set off, with Shag's parents wishing him luck on the coming adventures.

The rest of the way to Luthcheq was uneventful, and they arrived the morning of the third day of travel. Fish met them at the gates and gave Aoth a new arm, called the "Nul Burst," which Aoth then enchanted to have increased power in the arm. They went shopping, where Shag got a new bracelet that he enchanted to boost his charisma and named Sex Panther. Yief bought a blue tunic and pants, and then enchanted his hammer to have a tremor burst, and named it Earthshatter. They then all got tattoos of their new group logo, inspired by a popular painting called "loss." Halrek just shapeshifted his skin to have the tattoo, prompting them calling him a bitch. Yief bought Bashak a decorative masterwork silver dagger to impress her, got his beard trimmed and his hair washed, and the group then all pooled together for a bag of holding.

They went to the Golden Sea Lion Tavern, where they got shit faced and Shag flirted with the barmaiden, who found him quite charming due to Sex Panther. Sex Panther: 60% of the time, it works...every time. They all went to their rooms, where Yief upgraded to the suite for him and Bashak.

After everyone except Halrek got laid, they all passed out and had strange dreams where they were visited by a mist shrouded man, who spoke to them about their greater purpose before waking them up, prompting them to roll to the left. They woke up to assailants, who they rolled out of the way of and began to fight back. Shag hypnotized his assailant, while Aoth went Saitama and picked him up with Nul Burst while still naked. Halrek fought back his assailant, and Shag came and delivered a killing blow, before Halrek returned the favor by assassinating the hypnotized one. Shag opened Yief's door just as Yief used a tremor to smash the floor, sending everything from his room crashing down to the first floor, right in the middle of the tavern. Yief then killed the shit out of his assailant, flattening his whole body with Earthshatter. Aoth interrogated his assailant, who revealed that they were from a rival pirate clan called the Silver Hydras. They had gotten word that the Bloodsail fleet was coming to pick up their captain, and they wanted to kill Bloodsail quietly and then get the drop on the fleet when they arrived. The pirate thought Aoth was Bloodsail, which caused Vissella to choke back laughter. After making fun of the man for his gender conformities, Vissella killed him while they discussed the logistics of using a rapier to stab someone through the sternum at close range, which she responded that it was enchanted. Everyone laughed. Except the pirate. He died.

They then convinced the barmaiden using Shag's impeccable performance skills that the damage was actually an upgrade that opened the tavern up more, and she could add a chandelier and start charging more. Yief announced "Raid: Shadow Legends" before leaving, and Shag gave her finger guns on the way out, which actually got her to blush.

Arriving outside, they immediately took fire from the Silver Hydra ships in the bay, prompting everyone to run for the shore, as Shag grabbed Vissella and Thunderstepped them onto the ship, then Thunderstepped again to disarm the cannons. Aoth added fire to the already exploded cannons, lighting that part of the deck and hull on fire. The remaining pirates and Aoth got on the row boat the assailants used to get to shore, and Halrek blinked to the ship.

A skirmish broke out, Shag thunderstepped back to shore to get Yief, and Yief used Earthshatter to once again destroy the floor beneath him and a crewman he was fighting. Aoth and Ragnar helped as they jumped up from the boat, but then Ragnar jumped up to the deck, and Yief caused another tremor, sending him and his opponent down to the lowest level of the ship, and blowing a large enough hole in the hull that the ship began taking on water. The fire continued to spread, and Shag, Halrek, Ragnar, and Vissella continued to kill more crewmen on the deck. Aoth rolled barrels of gunpowder together and then used Sacred Flame to ignite them, blowing another hole in the ship and sending a crewman named James flying off the deck into the water to his death, as Aoth said "Get fucked, JAMES"

The Bloodsail Fleet arrived and began engaging with the remaining Silver Hydra ships. Shag hypnotized all the crewmen and the group abandoned ship and jumped back on their rowboat, but were followed by the captain and first mate. The first mate almost immediately drowned, as he was already injured from the fire on the ship. They saw a chest on the lowest ship level through the hole in the hull, and Aoth tossed his grappling hook at it while Shag used Mage Hand to tie the rope around it. Ragnar reverse yeeted and got the chest on their boat. Aoth positioned his shield so the captain couldn't get any damaging hits in from the water, and Vissella came and stabbed him in the face while she laughed at him for looking stupid. They boarded The Dragon's Wing, and reunited with the crew. Vissella punched Toby, because she was sure he had done something to deserve it, and began shouting commands to get the ship turned around. They left Luthcheq, and set sail for the Sea of Fallen Stars, to the Free Lands.
