Auntie Marjorie's Lair

by Shyrene Windheart

Marjorie's cottage was as disgusting as one might expect of a sea hag. She went on a spiel but we weren't able to answer in our current form. She began to lower us into the water, but then had to go do something else and we in our koala forms opened the cages (eventually) and climb into the cottage.
A post came alive and gave us a riddle to escape, but there was no evidence of what to do next. We had a minor encounter with a giant frog that damaged Geode enough to change him back at which point he started hitting us to change us all back.
We then swam across to the apparent exit, where we found ourselves in a swampy area. We proceeded through thorny passages flanked by odd statuary and the forewarned cursewart plant. We were attacked by fey creatures, pixies, darklings and a redcap and managed to arm ourselves with their weapons.
Soon we came across the first of what we believed to be pillars of importance. A green, yellow and indigo. We also came across our own graves, which Geode earthsung and found chests associated with each of us. Those chest had our gear!
 
With our gear back, Umlilo put up a tiny hut and we rested for a moment.
