Last Session: Treasures Age Old - Session 5 Player Recap

The party are followed by a large crowd as they leave. They interrogate Juarez in the middle of the street. Peg Meg-Leg approaches and does much of the intimidation. Maybe 60-80 in the crowd as more people start to watch.

This man holds the key to the treasure - the crowd wants to know where the key. There's only one way to get the answer out of him - who thinks we should remove the left leg. Crowd debates.

They want to know where the old man is and grizzlebeard's location. Crowd hurls produce at the guy when he's down.

Tell us where the man is.

Juarez says he manages the crew when the ship is in the docks, but went to The Crossed Swords. Said he knows where the scholar's house is but doesn't know where he is. Says it's on Wrinkle Row, which Big Flame (Red James Crew) confirms. He says the rest of the creew went out of town to a temple a few hours away - long deserted.

The aprty don't think they'll get more useful information so start to hack into the man's leg. Knew the rough direction but not the specific location on the map.

Bruno Culina (William Chapman) suggests blowing up the Chained Hag's boat.

Dino Wrangler (Oscar Katz) wants to pick up bombs.

Barry Cuda (Sam Bebbington) asks the crowd where the temple is, and when some say they do, Barry Cuda (Sam Bebbington) says they need to come forward and says they'll tie those people down, causing those people to fall silent and slip back into the crowd.

Dino Wrangler (Oscar Katz) suggests gagging the guy and taking him to the temple, but the party decide.

Decide to go to the scholar's house, to see if there are notes on where the temple might be, or go to the chained crew's ship.

Decide they can't let him get away. They say if he can't give them something useful, then will chop off his leg.

Says the scholar knows where the place

He Says when they get to the temple they'll need an in
They say they're fine, they have 80 people here.
Says he's one of the chosen 16 of Belladonna Velenza, says she'll kill them all
They wonder if they should get more info out of him befoire they kill him or ask him about the crew, but the crowd are growing restless.
The crowd closes in, eventually the party start hacking and then the crowd also joins.

Decide to get the 80 people here to go blow up the Chained Hag's ship while they look at teh scholar's house.

Barry Cuda (Sam Bebbington) decides to rally the crowd - says to mete out justice, they must blow up the Chained Hag's ship

Crowd is smaller.

Redd James isn't here at th emoment.

Want about 40 to go to the boat.

Bruno Culina (William Chapman) and Peg Meg-Leg decide to try to peel off, but they still have 20 following them. Bruno Culina (William Chapman) goes into a pub and 12 people join him, they go into the Crossed Keys, a poor quality bar. Bruno Culina (William Chapman) goes into the kitchen and is like "I'm gonna cook for you, for free".

Dino Wrangler (Oscar Katz) picks up some bombs (10 of them) from a gunpowder store on the way.

Big scene at the docks of people preparing for something, gunpowder being loaded onto ships, people scrambling to load ships and leave Freeport.

Chained Hag on a private dock, well equipped for battle and combat, being loaded and staffed by a lot of crew. Preparing for a quick exit.

Two dock guards with Morions, cutlass, side pistols, Breastplate. Former soliders. And a bvunch of crew with flails.

Barry Cuda (Sam Bebbington) loads the pistol and passes out the bombs quite close - noticed by the guards but don't seem to react.

After prep he calls for the peasants to charge with their bombs, but just as they start to move a few bombs are thrown into the horde. Bombs are attemtped to be kicked away, one gets kicked away into the water, the other blows up and takes out a bunch of pirates, and a fair bit (5hp) to Barry Cuda (Sam Bebbington). One of the grenades is kicked towards the hag crew, they kick it back, and Barry Cuda (Sam Bebbington) bats it away intoi the water with his sword.

Dino Wrangler (Oscar Katz) runs forward and stabs at one of the guards, they exchange blows, and Dino Wrangler (Oscar Katz) is forced back to the edge of the dock, and dives off it and into the waves.
2 hours in.
Peg Meg-Leg tells the story of how she got her peg-leg to the 8 pirates (plus Big Flame (Red James Crew), who is going with them).
She claims it was a lizard, deep underwater, in the caverns at the bottom of the ocean. It bit her leg off, she tamed it, but lost the beast, it fought another great beast. Peg Meg-Leg tries to convince the others that they should guard outside while she looks inside, but they all want inside.
Three of them are slippery ladies who are there - one missing an eye, one missing a tongue, one an ear. tHEY SAY there's a tempel nearby to the town - a kinda shack where their forurth sister lives (who is missing both her legs).

Peg Meg-Leg and the ten arrive at Wrinkle Row. Obvious as to who's house is the scholar - as a crowd of at least 30 pirates looting tghings in a vaguely organiused fashion and loading it all onto a cart. On teh floor outside is a woman and her dinosaur.
Peg Meg-Leg identifies it as a Shimmerscale, a dinosaur that breathes and where it breathes (like foggy breath) it shows the shimmering outline of spirits and otherwordly phenomena that can't otherwise be seen.

The party is told to fuck off by the pirates, the leader, Edward Jenkins says they can piss off. Peg Meg-Leg says she can read and write so can help decipher the stuff, she says no. Peg Meg-Leg says there should be more of them on the quest to help deal with it. Edward Jenkins says she promikses this to everyone and they need a big fightr to fight the Chained Hag.

fINALLY he lets her carry some barrels to the cart, and Peg Meg-Leg offers to go to the Crossed Keys and go through the stuff there, and she'll supply them all with alcohol in exchange.

Peg Meg-Leg says she has a hunch the temple could be where the Slippery Three are based, but Edward Jenkins says he only trusts hunches from one person - Hunchback Jim, a 6-year old child with a hunchback in his group, who lives a life of pain.

Peg Meg-Leg asks what the woman on tghe floor is. Edward Jenkins says she was there a caretaker for the scholar and told them not to steal, and they knocked her out and same with her dinosaur. Said she didn't know where the scholar had gone - only that she'd been asked to look after the place. She lived nearby.

The building had been stripped apart, everything in that flat torn apart.

Peg Meg-Leg returns to the Crossed Keys to join Bruno Culina (William Chapman). The Slippery Three remain behind to check the place.

The party debate whether they poison everyone in the pub to keep the loot for themselves.

They use a private dining room. Packed with people and they go through it all.

Barry Cuda (Sam Bebbington) and Dino Wrangler (Oscar Katz) arrive. Barry Cuda (Sam Bebbington) threatens to kill someone when he finds out where the temple is.

They realise they didn't look under the floorboards etc. So Peg Meg-Leg, Barry Cuda (Sam Bebbington), and Dino Wrangler (Oscar Katz) go back to the house. Barry Cuda (Sam Bebbington) checks a nearby well but doesn't find anything there.

Bruno Culina (William Chapman) cooks a good meal in jthe meantime.

The Slippery Three are there talking to the woman when they arrive.

tHEY Look inside, see a small rat near a fireplace, there's a hole in the cieling for smoke egress. But they've been thorough. Peg Meg-Leg pulls up a floorboard and finds $240 of money there.
