The Hag's Lair

The party entered the lair carrying the wounds of the pocket dimension's lower level. Agnus the Maw was not what any of them had expected. She clung to the far wall like something that had forgotten it was supposed to walk upright — a horrific figure of wood and sinew and spider-angles, her limbs too long and bending the wrong way. She did not come down to meet them.

With her was a giant raven that occupied the room with the weight of a horse, and an ent — ancient, enormous, the kind of thing that could end the fight by itself.

The party opened up. Ranged shots, spells, opening attacks — the fight began in a burst while everyone read the room. Some went for the hag. Others went for the raven.

Obold had an idea. He pulled Thorin aside long enough to borrow the magic rope — the kind that clings automatically to whatever it is thrown at — and then misty-stepped directly onto the raven's back. He got the rope around it. He was now attached to a giant, furious raven in an enclosed lair.

A turn or two into the fight, Thorin pointed at the ent and banished it. It was gone. He held that concentration for the rest of the fight while still managing to support the rest of the party from range.

The raven launched itself upward with Obold clinging to its back, attacking members of the party as it climbed. Eventually it found the ceiling — or the pocket dimension's equivalent of sky — and kept going. Kaneko watched the arc, calculated, and shot the raven out of the air. Obold fell. Ofie, already in giant hawk form, banked hard and caught him.

Below, Agnus the Maw eventually came down from the wall. She pulsed blight in waves across the room, each pulse washing psychic damage over whoever was closest and shoving them back. It made sustained melee ugly. Gunther kept attacking regardless.

Tarian — the half-ent who had warned them when they first arrived, the wood elf imprisoned in bark and root for however long the hag had kept him — fought alongside the party. He went down during the exchange. The party pulled him back up. He kept fighting.

The hag's health was failing. The fight was nearly done.

The Kill

Ofie, still in hawk form, banked back toward the lair with Obold on her back. The hag was low. Both of them could see it.

They came in together.

Ofie struck. Obold struck at the same moment.

Agnus the Maw was dead.

Obold will later acknowledge, honestly, that he spent most of the fight attached to a bird. His contribution to the actual hag-killing was one hit at the end. He considers this a fine outcome.

The Pocket Dimension Collapses

The lair did not take the hag's death well.

The walls began to fracture. The wet-flesh ground of the forest started pulling apart. The pocket dimension had been held together by Agnus — with her gone, it was coming undone.

Tarian did not make it out. Whether the collapse took him before the party could reach him, or whether his bound form was tied to the pocket dimension itself, he was lost when the dimension fell.

The party got out.

The Island Sinks

The real world was not much better. As the party emerged from the collapsing pocket dimension, Oman itself was going under — the Witch's Maw draining the island from beneath, water rushing in from every direction.

They got each other out. Not a rout, not a panic — the party moved together, helping and encouraging, pulling anyone who stumbled until everyone was clear of the dimension's threshold.

Ofie was still in her giant eagle form. The party grabbed the magic rope and tied off to her in a chain — eight people stretched out behind an enormous eagle like a string of very tired, very wet monkeys. Obold uncorked his eversmoking bottle and trailed smoke behind the chain as they moved, marking their path through the chaos for anyone looking.

Then Ofie flew.

What followed was less an escape and more an obstacle course at speed — surging water, debris, trees and wreckage tumbling in the flood. Ofie threaded through it with the chain snapping and swinging behind her, the party doing their best to tuck and angle and not catch a log to the face.

They made open water. The island was still going down behind them.

The Bitch's Scorn was not responding.

Alias reached for the whisper quill and wrote to Magnolia Duvall. She responded — she was coming.

Shortly after, the crew checked in. They were safe; the surge had driven them far out to sea, but they were already on their way back.

Mags arrived first. She pulled them aboard. The crew arrived not long after. Oman had gone under behind them.

Parting with Mags

Magnolia had somewhere else she needed to be, or somewhere she wanted to go, or both. She and the party exchanged the usual pleasantries — the kind that mean more than they sound — and parted ways again.

The Scorned Eight headed south.

The Voyage South

The party took a night's rest underway, then pushed for Gwynneth.

• Day 1: A storm — middling, not catastrophic. Alias got them most of the way through without incident.
• Day 2: A whirlpool, avoided. A cluster of Gwyneth patrol ships passed in the distance, watching but not intercepting.
• Day 3: Something large came up from the water alongside the ship.

The session ended there.

Log

Notes

Compiled from audio recall — one player's account.

Lots of blight fingers. Thorin banished the ent. Obold tied himself to a bird, Kaneko shot it out of the air, Ofie saved Obold while the party fought the hag. Ofie and Obold flew down to steal the kill.

The Maw began collapsing, the party had to run out to save ourselves. Water began rushing in, we tied ourselves off to Ofie as she pulled us through the water back to where our boat was. Alias messaged Magnolia Duvall who picked us up while we waited for our crew to pick us up. The party decides to head to Gwyneth after exchanging pleasantries with Mags.

We take a night's rest as we traveled south. We encounter a middling storm, Captain Alias almost got us through it unscathed. We passed a whirlpool and some Gwyneth ships. Then on the third day a monster in the ocean approached our ship — session ended.

Extended audio recall:

Started the fight with the hag. Some of us rushed the hag, others rushed the bird. I asked Thorin for his little magic rope that automatically clings to things and I rode in — I say I, I'm Obold — and charged the Raven. The Raven went and attacked some people. I went and used Misty Step on top of the Raven and wrapped myself to it with the rope. There was lots of pulses of blight that the hag had as her lair was responding to us. She was like this horrific spider-wood looking creature that was on the wall. We eventually got her to come down. She had a giant ent as well that was part of her team but Thorin actually banished the ent completely which took it out of the fight. Gunther did Gunther things and chopped people up. Most of the party was fighting the hag, but while Obold was connected to the Raven it flew up into the sky and Kaneko shot it out of the air and Obold came flying down to the ground. Fortunately Ofie turned into a giant hawk and saved him. While this was going on the party was mainly focused on the hag — she was pulsing blight that was causing a lot of psychic damage and pushing people away from her. Thorin was doing a good job of retaining his concentration to keep the ent out of the fight while also supporting the party from afar. The half-ent that was with us tried to help a lot but he actually went down and the party was able to come to his aid. The team brought the hag really down low on HP right as Ofie had saved Obold and they flew at the hag together and both simultaneously struck at the hag to deal the final blow. Obold kind of stole the kill because he didn't do very much other than fly, tie himself to the Raven to keep it busy, and then do that one last hit on the hag. After killing the hag the entire pocket dimension started to crumble and the party rallied around each other and helped each other to get out of the dimension. We did not save the half-ent — Tarian — and we made it out. As we did, water began rushing in again and the entire island looked like it seemed to sink. We all tied ourselves off to Ofie and she pulled us through the water like a chain of monkeys, water skiing behind her, whipping and weaving through the water and the trees and the debris. Obold opened his eversmoking bottle to try to leave a smoke trail for people to see. We tried to reach our boat and they could not respond. We were concerned something happened to our crew. Alias then messaged Magnolia Duvall who said she would come help us. As we were waiting we did get word from our crew that they were safe but the torrents and the waves had caused issues at their docking area so they had to go further out to sea, but they were also on the way. Magnolia picked us up first and our crew arrived shortly after. She wanted to go somewhere other than where we intended to go. Ultimately we decided to split ways again. We took a night's rest and then traveled south because we wanted to go to Gwyneth, and then we encountered a storm, Alias got us through it, and we hit a whirlpool, passed Gwyneth ships, and then on the 3rd day a monster approached our ship and that's where we ended.
