The gold’s been split. The drinks have flowed. But the celebration doesn’t last long.

Mooey hears something in the woods. Thaddeus uncovers a deadly family grudge. And now, there’s something wrong at the lake. Fishermen missing. Guards vanished. Something old... maybe hungry... waits in the deep.

The group heads out again—but this time, they might not all come back.

🎲 Swords, secrets, and something slithering just below the surface. Dive in. Just don’t look too closely at the water.

The party reunites. Mooey recounts his strange encounter in the woods, and the Baron’s gold is split. Spirits are high, drinks are flowing, and the town throws a celebration in their honor. But behind the cheers, something darker lurks. Thaddeus uncovers a grim truth—Mooey’s clan is being hunted, targeted by a rival tribe that’s marked them for death.

Before the group can catch their breath, another call comes in. Fishermen and town guards have gone missing near the lake. Vanished without a trace. Now the party must trade wine for weapons and celebration for silence, as they head toward the mist-covered waters where something waits beneath the surface.

After slaying a giant and securing a hefty reward from the Baron, Mooey does what any responsible hero would—hides the gold and buys the group a cart. But while the rest of the party is away, a chilling howl in the woods sets him on a path that turns victory into something far darker. What begins as a strange murder investigation quickly spirals into something personal. A dead Bisren. A man wearing skin that wasn’t his. A name scrawled on a death list. Mooey’s name.

This episode dives into a brutal confrontation that reveals a hidden enemy stalking our hero from the shadows. Don’t miss the moment the hunter becomes the hunted.

In this episode, the group ventures deep into the towering cave of the fallen giant, where every echo feels like a warning and every shadow hides a secret. As they push past collapsed tunnels and ancient bones, they uncover the hidden treasures buried within—forgotten relics, powerful artifacts, and something far more dangerous than gold. But the deeper they go, the clearer it becomes: the cave isn’t as empty as it seems. Something watches. Something waits.

The group took advantage of the prints in the snow and tracked the cyclops to the moutain area before the snow covered his tracks. They ran into some Gnolls and talked their way out of the situation when Rob's character cast charm person the Gnoll leader. At night when camping the group noticed orcs traveling from an area in the mountains.. In the morning they tracked the orc prints in the snow to the cyclops cave, where they defeated a bunch of orcs and then found the Cyclops' main chamber.

While camping that night, the group pulls watch duty—and ends up attracting a giant grizzly bear. Chaos breaks out. Another blunder mid-fight sends poor Robin flying—again—dropping hard in the middle of the brawl. They take the bear down, barely holding it together, and drag themselves back to the village to patch up and recover. Just as they think they’ve earned a break, the next morning hits them like a war drum—a giant storms into the village, shouting for tribute and ready to smash anything in his way.

The group met up with an old friend who wanted in on the adventuring. After that, they headed to the chapel and talked to the High Keeper. She said they could get rid of the demon idol—but she’d need three ingredients first. Here’s the list: Ashroot Bloom, Silver Duskwater , Binding Dust of the Penitent. She told them where to find each one. After that, they had a solid meal of buffalo wings, crashed for the night, and hit the road early the next morning. The walk got interrupted by a black bear, which Mooey apparently decided to hug. Then they made it to the lake to grab a sample. Got attacked by a frog. Decided the lake wasn’t the best camping spot and moved a bit before setting up for the night.
