MAR 5 - Aboleth Broodmother, Act I
General Summary
Back on Bilgewater Isle
Date: Afternoon of 20 Heptatyr, 994 AN (Waning Gibbous)
Back in Bilgewater after some time at sea, the party got a room at the Brazen Hydra then headed up to the Eyries District for some gambling. Sprout lost a couple of coins, but Laccaria managed to win quite a bit in the dice games. Meanwhile, Turt and Agon (and Pickle?) enjoyed some drinks watching that go down.
The next day, the Souper Troopers decided to head over to the Explorers' Guild Field Office where they found it a bit more active than usual. It seemed that another adventuring party, the Fearsome Five, came in to tackle a job while the home team was away and was still lingering about, though the questgiver, Dr. Darith, complained that they had not fully completed it. The Souper Troopers picked up some of the details from Jeaks and a couple of the Fearsome Five and headed off to make their own attempt at completion.
The Nanakatl Enclave was mostly along the way so the Souper Troopers traveled there before meandering into the swamp. The party rested and introduced Rumpadump to his new home and questioned Laccaria's teacher about the environment to the west before heading out.
Other things of note:
The target is some variation of Aboleth
It secretes some sort of mucus that causes pain and water dependency
It definitely seems to favor the water
You guys made your way into a bracklethorn dome over 150 ft. across
little light made it through, but you could make out a lake with mud islands scattered and the ruins of a primitive village
on the far side of the "underground" lake was the corpse of a tentacled creature
scattered around the area are all manner of local swamp life with manta-like creatures latched onto their backs.
