Episode 10: Hook, Line and Sinker

Hook, Line and Sinker is the 10th session of the The Travelling Circus campaign. It took place on August 1, 2020.

Events
The party returns to Albrecht Neumann’s wacky house, receiving their payment of magical items and discussed Neumann's extent of knowledge about the dragon egg. The party decides to keep the egg for themselve. The group leaves Neumann to escape possible legal action against him. They found that a festival of the Wild Mother was underway, as well as a fishing competition. They head to rest, with Yoda trashing a room alongside his animal army, and get ready to explore the festival. They first talk about what actually happened with Blight's involvement with the Fallen cult and Ren's connection to it. Ren reveals to actually be an Aasimar being hunted down by her uncle after the murder of her parents. After some hugs and friendly protective talk, the party has some good old fun in the festival. All play some games and win coin (some more than others), until a fighting arena piques Porridge’s interest. He suddenly recognises his twin brothers, Eagle and Wolf and pushes in to fight. Some typical sibling insults are thrown around, but Porridge hits Wolf with huge damage and he retreats, yet winning never felt so bitter. The team heads back to rest, with Porridge talking to Phryne about his feelings of the past catching up to him. Ren has a dream conversation with Reiwan, providing her guidance. The fishing competition is due and the group split to win some heavy gold, but something fishy is at hand. Combat breaks out when Porridge, Heskan and Alyss head into deeper water and the weather turns dark. Giant sharks attack and the group head shore when a lightning strike causes the lighthouse of the Wild Mother to fall.
