The voyage is long, and the raft is crowded with NPCs of dubious value to the plot. No-one has any privacy, and tempers begin to fray. What little sleep we are able to snatch is tormented by shared nightmares of a two-headed titan rampaging through the Underdark, destroying everything in its path. Caught up in a fit of religious ecstasy, the fishman zealot Shooshan (whom Elin has renamed Gil) leaps into the Dark Lake and swims away.After several days floating in the endless dark, the raft is caught in the current of a great waterfall. Abandoning the raft, we swim toward the nearest shore, where we are ambushed by a party of fishmen. They have already captured Gil. Kiri attempts to negotiate our safe passage, but the fishmen are fervent in their devotion to the Deep Father and adamant on sacrificing us to their god.We defeat the fishmen and rescue Gil. Apparenly the kuo-toa are experiencing a theological schism between the established faith of the Sea Mother, and the newly arisen church of the Deep Father. Who better to resolve this delicate devotional deadlock than a group of passing murderhobos?Skulking into the kuo-toa city of Sloopadoop, Gil introduces us to Pluploplee, Oracle of the Sea Mother. She wants us to straight-up murder her counterpart Bliblidoop, Deacon of the Deep Father. Happily will we rid you of this turbulent priest!We execute the tried and true 'Wookie prisoner' ploy to gain access to our target. Greyscale hangs back in case the plan goes sideways. The 'offerings' are escorted to the Sanctum of the Deep Father, where Bliblidoop (corpulent fishman in a soiled cassock) begins the rites of sacrifice. We renounce our role in this pontifical pantomine and assassinate the problematic priest. Kiri shifts into her panther form like a goddamned Thundercat. Erasmus has spent all his spell slots ensuring Morloc can see in the dark and has nothing but Firebolts left in the tank.Greyscale does not participate in the fight against the fish cult, hanging back to watch for trouble. The surface of the Dark Lake begins to churn violently, as a colossal creature rises ponderously from the lightless depths. Black waves batter the harbour and flood the streets of Sloopadoop. The two-headed giant from our shared nightmare rises from the lake, towering over the fishman city.Demogorgan has joined the chat.<a href="https://i.postimg.cc/jjvjG23p/david-carvalho-demogorgon.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/jjvjG23p/david-carvalho-demogorgon.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a>TBC</blockquote>
