In our previous sessions [0], the group had started on a 10-day
river voyage to the city of Dolmvay, hired by the Mayor of Larm to
escort his daughter to her future husband. The voyage continued in
this session.
## Session notes:
The party spent the third night sleeping on deck, as usual. It was
clear, calm and lit by a nearly full moon, but the peaceful night
was interrupted when a giant leech slithered onto the deck and
attempted to attach itself to Omes. In the ensuing commotion,
Captain Sook, who had come out on deck to see what all the fuss was
about, found himself a target of the leech. He was not as hardy as
Omes and succumbed to the giant blood-sucker before it could be
pulled off of him.
Day four dawned with the barge now captained by the first mate
Stan. It was mostly uneventful, save for a cyclops spotted on
on-shore which the party wisely ignored.
On the morning of day five, Stan expertly guided the barge through a
short stretch of rapids. The barge rounded a bend on the other end
of the rapids and was confronted by another vessel coming
upstream. It was manned by about a dozen men, and outfitted with a
trebuchet. Any hopes of a friendly encounter were dashed when one of
the men on the vessel demanded they be allowed to board, and a stone
was fired across the Dragonfly's bow as a warning.
To be continued...
## LL Notes:
This was a short and fun session, ending on a cliffhanger as the PCs
encountered some river pirates.
