Adventures in Beast World - Session 2 - Visiting Morris

Session Date: 2023-08-21

The crew sets out to find the Alchemist who lives near town. They follow the advice of one of the local kids who points them towards the bog. He says his mother went to visit the alchemist when she needed medicine.

On the trail through the bog the crew is attacked by some oversized toads whoa re also covered in the pink goo. They quickly discover that the toads are not easy to dispatch as they seem to turn into pink goo and can seep into the ground, showing back up in other places.

They dispatch all but one of the toads, then quickly make their way out of the bog to the alchemist's house.

The friends find Morris Gypsum-Rebus-Yllaster, an eccentric Ferret alchemist. He never stops moving and looks like he has come close to blowing up his home quite a few times. He offers to make them the tires they need in exchange for a sample of the pink goo. Thus the friends venture back to the bog to collect a sample from the dispatched toads. Morris tells them it will take a day to make the tires, and the friends are welcome to spend the night.

While there Morris tells the friends why he has not been living in town, how he gave the Mayor scales when trying to cure an illness she had. He tells the friends that he has found the cure for that, and they agree to take it to the mayor and see if she would accept it as an apology.

The next morning, the friends collect the tires from Morris and head back to Erin. The town has prepared yet another celebration as a send-off for the friends. They have even rallied together to give the friends a draught horse to pull their wagon.

They all spend one last night with their families before setting off to catch up with the Littfeld Caravan.
