Session 4: 01/12/2022

by Odd One

Starke, Belladonna, Mr. Green, and I arrive in Pondhaven. It is getting late so we decide to visit the Black Barnacle Inn for food and rest. Speaking with the locals we find that just when it starts to gets dark, we should hear the alarm bells that alert the town of the Monsters rising from the water to attack anyone unlucky enough to be caught outside.
Inside the Black Barnacle, we are approached by a stranger who tells me that she has met us once before. She introduces herself as Thia, we previously met when she was disguised as Mrs. Clause, and says she has been wandering alone after helping us in the fight against Krampus months ago. She still had the horns that back up her story. I reveal that it was only a couple of days ago for us and she seems upset.
After catching up with her in the tavern and also meeting a nice Druid Human man and a quiet Gnomish woman, the bells that signal the arrival of the monsters start to ring.
Looking out of the windows, Starke sees a halfling woman alone on the docks being approached by several Kuo-toa [fish people] who do not appear friendly. He rushes outside and all of us follow.
There are 3 Kuo-toa and a giant crab that we begin to fight as the halfling woman runs away from the area.
After killing off one of the Kuo-toa more monsters arrive; a Sea-Spawn, a Crocodile, and a Sahuagin appear and join the battle.
Mr. Green and I take down the giant crab and begin to eat it. The Gnomish woman uses her magic to kill another of the Kuo-toa. The Druid man and Thia also take down their share of enemies including the Sahuagin, Crocodile, and the Sea-Spawn.
In the middle of the battle, a Sea Hag appears. She frightens me, and I fall unconscious.
Starke and the others battle the Sea-Hag, and she answers some of the questions that Starke asks during the battle. She reveals her name to be Mama Olga Wormgums and tells the party that she is part of Gertrude's coven.
Starke is able to deal the final blow that kills the Hag.
