[QUOTE="mikeawmids1, post: 8334342, member: 7030604"] [U]Season One / Session Six (Part 1)[/U] [I]We begin with a flashback. A swarthy halfling fisherman hauls his nets up from the briny depths of the sea, the wet rope rasping between his calloused palms. The net bulges with struggling fish. It is a good haul, but there is something strange.... A large, pallid sea slug glares up at the fisherman with three oval eyes, glowing red with malice. The fisherman is hypnotized by the strange creature and begins clumsily cutting apart the net with his gutting knife. Dying fish flop onto the pitching deck. His eyes blank, the fisherman plucks up the malevolent mollusc and holds it closer to his face. He barely reacts as the creature crawls into his mouth and forces its way down his gullet.... We cut forward to the sea caves near Whalewater Landing. A pair of hooded villagers drag a bloodied priest of Talos before the cult's profane altar.
