11/2/2017 0 Comments Fucking Up the Bayou: An Apologyby theobold peacekeeper (alan H.) 12-15 hsTL;DR Talks with Lizardfolk interrupted by Hag (presumably Wicked Polly Frogwart), and things went south. Watch out for murderous hags, troglodytes, and Shimmerscale lizardfolk out there everybody! Also see "Chief Atuji of Greatscale Clan" It took us awhile to formulate our plan, but with a set of battleaxe gifts for the Lizardfolk chiefs we were anticipating to meet, we set off in canoes toward the Western Obelisk. We arrived in the afternoon of 12HS and had to bide our time until 14HS for the High Moon, where the Lizardfolk of the Shimmerscale Clan would invite the other chieftains for trade. Our party consisted of Udoroth as our chief representative, as both leader of The Shields and draconic interpreter, Merelda of The Shields, Koltalon of The Shields, and Haldor and myself representing The Heralds. After setting camp, we signaled the whistle that the lizardfolk use to notify each other of presence (*high note, followed by long and low note), and were met by Thizma (previously known as Longtail). After biding our time and waiting, Haldor experienced a brief encounter with lizard-like beasts known as Troglodytes while out on a hunt, as Thizma informed us later. These were the same creatures that we saw when first encountering Dufdor, the Watcher of the Southern Waters. On 14HS, we finally were presented to the gathering of the Four Clans at a large pyramid temple of some sort, where the Lizardfolk had erected a large bonfire. We were formally introduced to the four clan chieftains, of which Etuji had already met with many in our group
Shortly after presenting them with axes, and before we could barely begin asking questions about their lands and the Hags, we were interrupted with a large bird cry as a giant chocobo invaded the area, dropping a small army of Troglodites (dear god, their smell), and the Hag herself, presumably the “Hag of the Bayou”, Wicked Polly Frogwart (alias “Pollen”). She tried to claim that our attempts to arm the lizardfolk and forge alliances were futile and seemed to take offense that we were making powerplays in “her bayou”. After recieving warning of how the hags operate from Dufdor and the lizardfolk themselves, i made the call that she is a force not to be treated with words...rare for me, I know… Haldor fired an arrow, and I lit up her area with faerie fire. She continued to speak and warned that if we did not destroy the Midden Heap, bring her a child sacrifice, and to leave the swamp she would be after us. So we gave her the response I believe she was expecting: War. Needless to say, she got away on her bird by flashing invisible, leaving the lizardfolk clans and our group to combat the troglodytes and sow dissent among our factions on next steps. Unfortunately, we are no longer welcome among the Shimmerscale territory to the west, so beware the area past the Western Obelisk. I believe there is possibility the other clans will come around, as they were impressed with our weapons. Our alliance and trade agreement is still in process with the Greatscale clan through Udoroth, but their insistence on the Midden Heap destruction, and refusal to combat the troglodytes and wait defensively has me suspicious on their connection to this hag.
