Setting off to go search for the Temple of Pure Water request of a University Scholar through the Explorers' Guild, the Souper Troopers started their trek out towards the town of Highlake to the Northwest. Along the way they ran into a few things:
Night 3. While the party was sleeping in the remnants of an old outpost, Laccaria witnessed a gruesome scene. A ghost going through a harmless routine for most of an hour before heading to an invisible gallow and "dying" by hanging before fading away.
Day/Night 4. As the party travelled, an increasing large swarm of crows began following them. As they made camp within their Hut, a couple party members were curious to see if the swarm was still around them in the darkness. As Sprout lit up the surrounding area with Daylight, the mass of crows attacked in a mad cacophony. The following day, there was no evidence of the crows the party fought off. Interrogating the local Flora via Speak with Plants revealed that they all melted into the ground with an evil black ink.
Day 8. The day before arriving in Highlake, the party came across a scene of chaos. A travelling merchant's wine barrels had cracked and revealed a large wriggling mass of tar that started to attack the caravan guards. The party apprehended the fleeing merchant and saved the guards who eventually killed the merchant and moved on with their lives.
Day 9. The party arrived in Highlake where they stopped only long enough to gather bearings before navigating off-road to the coordinates they were given.
Day 10. After a little bit of double checking their navigation efforts, the party arrived at the coordinates they were given, the party found the particular lake that was described to them. Prepping for the dive with some Waterbreathing, they swam to the underwater temple. Turt swam ahead and had the misfortune of finding some Algae Blights that charmed them and led them to a Shambling Algae Mound. The party barely managed to catch up before Turt was swallowed and battled the creatures to clear the path into the temple where they could rest before entry.
