Dr. Phil

The Jolly Rogers were on tap for the session today and we needed to get our fleet in order. The Shadow was self propelled by magic, but our other sailing ship was the weak link and dependent on the weather. We contacted Captain Nemo the dwarf and had it outfitted with an inboard motor. Zoom Zoom.

We decided to explore the details around a treasure map that we had found in the hold of The Shadow, revealing an island that we were familiar with. A large banyan dominated the central rise and the map indicated some sort of back door which we found pretty easily.

It opened to reveal a talk show auditorium complete with a stage and a host, a 12 foot cacodaemon who bore a striking resemblance to Dr. Phil. He insisted on trying to get us to sit on stage and talk about our feelings but since I'm not gay I stabbed him. He was immune to everything and hit like a truck. He restrained himself from just beating us to death. I think the manner in which he killed us was important, like he had to trick us to get our souls or something. We were able to extract without casualty and escape the island of subpar tv.



Next we decided to explore the ocean beyond Gradsul. We expected the journey to be the adventure and we weren't disappointed. We hopped from Bastia to Bonevale up towards Gradsul, using The Shadow's unique ability to project a cloaking barrier of mists to mask our passage. The giant sturgeon that swam up underneath our fleet became the adventure and the session's score after we killed it and harvested it for caviar. We sold that at market in Gradsul, donating no small portion to the local Lord as an introduction. Pirates just keep on winning.
