Blood Mother

Sightseeing - Session Summaries List

Hello friends, welcome back to Sightseeing!

• TL;DR:

1. To barbecue or not barbecue, that is the question.
2. The Churchy Folk and the Legalized Pirates are Not Friends.

• So… three failed obs rolls later, we all land on the beach like “where the party at?” The party is a group of men trying to barbecue what looks to be a giant bird creature.
  • Hello, Adventurers! You have encountered… Shardo Castedras, Daermod Coldcloud, Ethen Redshadow, Rhothomir Winddane, and Other Men.
    • Notes: They think they are roasting an eagle.
• Vee’s like if you’re gonna eat it, at least put it out of its misery. We aren’t so sure if the creature should be consumed, because there looks to be hands and it’s speaking in a language we can’t understand. Roth convinces the guy to wait until we know it is what we think it is, and the testing begins.
  • Hello, Adventurers! You have encountered… Bird Creature?
    • Notes: Bird Human, maybe?
• We determine that the creature can communicate (if tapping on rocks is considered communicating). Roth unties the ropes while Tempe checks for any burns to heal. Bird Creature is Fine. The problem is trying to figure out how to help him. Duolingo, can you teach me how to speak Bird? Let the owl stare deep into your soul to pressure you into mastering it in three weeks. Tempe attempts drawing and lets Zora take over before misunderstandings arise. Ratbone’s playing music in the background, and Roth swims over to get Lirt to come over onto shore so she can cook the tuna that these Men are so sick of eating.
• Meanwhile, Vee and Glimber offer to help fish for more food. Red volunteers for tribute to… uh… make moon-eyes at Vee? And Vee… makes moon-eyes back? I dunno, they row away on the canoe with Glimber sandwiched between them.
• Zora’s better at drawing than Tempe, and we finally get the Bird Man to understand that he is free! He gives Roth a necklace as a… thank you (?) before he takes off. No magic, but it’s pretty. Vee, Red and Glimber return with no fish, Ratbone gets tired and wants to nap, so she goes back to Lady Grim to sleep, Lirt cooks the tuna, nobody complains, and off we go again! Our next destination? Smore / Pointy-Finger Island.
• As we dock, there are buildings and stuff. Vee is more interested in the large ship parked right next door. It has a catapult thingy that looks like a really big crossbow (Ballistae). It has military flags, but no symbols. Hm. Sounds Important.
  • Hello Adventurers! You have encountered… Heidi Ibsen and The Dark Prince.
    • Notes: The first is a worker at the docks. The other is a Royal Navy ship.
• The Admiral of the Navy is staying at the Golden Coral. Sounds pricey. We go to Blue Gill instead because we have Churchy Folk and would rather avoid the drama. Totally not because he’s looking for a Statue. Totally not because it sounds like the Statue we... uh dropped off? Somewhere? Totally not avoiding that encounter for as long as possible, right?
  • Hello Adventurers! You have encountered… The Blue Gill and Maja Strandlund.
    • Notes: It is an inn that operates with the help of magic.
    • Additional Notes: Wizard founder, maybe?
• It’s nice! A weird lady is standing at the door who speaks the same line repeatedly, but the food is good enough, and we have a place to sleep. Lirt thinks its probably a spell that uses a statue to speak like a human.
• Lirt wants to take a walk to see if she can find any libraries. Everyone comes along for a nice exploration of the town. As we walk, we talk about books and libraries and making them more accessible to the public. Couple people jump on that idea, and Wendy hopes it becomes canon one day.
• Tempe casually notices that there’s no church. Which is kinda weird to her. Wendy does not care, but Tempe does a little because she is part of THE CHURCH. Now the casual walk becomes a scavenger hunt for the town church. Whoops.
• We find one hidden deep in the woods somewhere. The Crown’s Legalized Pirates and the Churchy Folk do not get along. Which… I guess isn’t surprising at all, if you think about it. Vee and Mel split off from everyone else to go sleep on the ship, and it’s nighty night for everyone.

BOB but Roth decided to stab his sister instead

Session 2025-04-18c - 2025-04-18s?

Hello friends, welcome back to Sightseeing! The world is suffering from a constant loop of hoopla, FGU is especially brutal to laptop users, Bob the Fixer gets maintenance requests, and Wendy is chasing after her marbles. Eh, what else is new? Oh YEAH, it’s Good Friday! Happy Easter, guys!

• TL;DR: It’s all fun and games until you find that your ship is possessed, lion-seal hybrids exist, and the people on the beach are super casual about grilling bird humanoids.
• Sharif signs it before everyone else, and we are glad to have him.
• Awake (7): Vee, Lirtimya, Zora, Glimber, MeLange, Rothuss, Temperance.
  • Lirtimya and Ratbone are getting their beauty sleep. Lirtimya wakes up later.
• With lots of mushroom wine in tow, we find our way back to Lady Grim. Mel is Bubbly-Giggly, but most of us are surprisingly not. We are definitely ready for run-ins with All the Bizarre Things.
• Speak of the devil, our first Bizarre Thing: a voice on the Lady Grim is YELLING AT US. Did the Lady gain sentience? Are we casually feeling the aftereffects of the Mushroom Wine? Is it an auditory hallucination?
• Roth kicks the barrel by accident and opens the doors to all types of experimentation on the barrel— including but not limited to kicking, drumming, stabbing water, and casting Detect Magic. That last one makes the whole ship glow green, but apparently the Shark Summoning Headpiece Thingy is magic so it didn’t matter anywayyyyy.
• Glimber requests that Tempe cast some Exorcism with her Churchy Folk Powers. Tempe is unfortunately too low-level for that. Roth ponders on whether The Voice only talks back to Vee, but doesn’t ponder very long. Evidently, Wisdom is only for the Old.
  • Anyways… Hello, Adventurers! You have encountered: Werner Hertzberg, self-proclaimed Fearsome Pirate Extraordinaire (in Spirit).
    • Notes: 1) Rothuss accidentally discovers that Werner reacts when he hits the barrel with OUCH. It is later discovered that he is noise-sensitive, which… heckin ironic, if you ask me. 2) Werner only speaks to Vee, which probably means he can only hear Vee? Is it some pirate-to-pirate thing?
    • Additional Notes: He is acquainted with Emilia French (aka Vee’s mother)? Just how many pirates are affiliated with the Barlett Pirate Mafia? (Also, flashback to the Dead Dread Pirate case anyone? First the taxes, now pirates… just how many throwbacks are we planning to have? It ain’t even Thursday!)
• Anyways, an hour or two of YELLING and experimenting later, we’re back at the inn. Drinking and relaxing and storytelling takes place, with the changing of narrators due to Technical Difficulties.
• It’s back to sailing in the morning! Vee and Zora are next to the wheel on the upper deck / part of the ship, most likely discussing whether Zora can get a hand on it. Glimber is resting inside. Mel, Roth, and Tempe are out on the lower deck watching the water.
  • Hello, Adventurers! You have encountered the Second Bizarre Thing: a… pod? pride? of a Sea-Lion Surprise.
    • Brief Description: a lion’s upper half fused with a seal’s lower half. Apparently it is called a Lion-Sea.
    • Notes: They have Claws and are, predictably…Hungry.
• Lionsea 1 leaps into the air and slashes at Mel. He tries to identify just what the heck it is, but is too busy with his new ouchie to think straight. Roth has the instinctive reaction to get in between the Thing and the Resident Squish… only to realize that the creature is a good distance away. Glimber rushes out after hearing Mel yell.
• Upper Deck, Vee decides to stay with the wheel to try to shake them off and finds a new scapegoat (aka Werner).
• Lower Deck, Tempe positions herself, lets her arrows fly, and watches one of them tangled in the mane. Roth approaches, Double-Troubles drawn; his Sabre gives a solid slash. Mel swings twice with his Axe, and lands a hit!
• Upper Deck, Zora wants to know what Vee would prefer. Ah, to Stab or to Steer, that is the question. Vee flips a coin, and steering it is!
• Zora goes down to the Lower Deck, brandishing her rapier. She has no problem with her first slash, but Lionsea 1 gets stubborn and keeps mauling Mel like a chef preparing slices of steak during dinner rush. Lionsea 2 wants in on the action and goes for Zora. She’s slashed a little, but not enough to freeze her up. Glimber goes to incapacitate Lionsea 1 and missteps.
• Upper Deck, Vee announces to everyone that she’s summoning sharks with her Manta Ray headpiece thingy. Zora and Tempe will know who to blame if the sharks decide to join in on the mauling. Four sharks appear.
• Lower Deck, Tempe realizes how many people are stabbing at the Lionseas and waits to see if she’s needed. Roth’s not so lucky with his Double Troubles, but Mel YEETS the Lionsea’s claw away and slashes it back! HAH! Take that, bootleg Sphinx of the sea! Lionsea 1 is like I just wanted fooooodddd whyyyyyy and flipper-floppers away back into the water. Zora is making good progress with Lionsea 2, and Mel’s Axe gives it a taste of its own medicine.
• Eventually, all the Lionseas swim off and tangle with the sharks as we watch from the ship. Tempe checks in on Mel and decides he’ll be fine with just binding the slashes. Lirt wakes up just in time to get info-dumped about Werner and the Lionsea thing.
• After a bit of back and forth, Tempe wants answers on this Werner guy, so she casts Personal Reading to do some snooping.
  • Hello, Adventurers! You have encountered: Werner Hertzberg, an Actual Pirate.
    • Notes: His Last Huzzah is stealing supplies off the Royal Navy for a desperate village, only to get swirled up in a hurricane. Some Robin Hood shit, if you ask me. No wonder he was popular.
• As we continue to sail and discuss Werner the Pirate, Lirt and Tempe spots… land! There’s sand, canoes, and smoke. Zora believes it to be a fish fry. Shall we join the party? Sure, we say, as the three people with observation casually crits. Time to flip around and find out!
• While Tempe rows Vee towards the shore, the rest swim along. We arrive at the beach, only to find… “a large humanoid bird-like creature that is staked down over the smoking fire”.
• Next Episode: Er... Try Not to be Dinner?

Quotes of the Night

BOB You have had mushroom wine, the parade, mushroom wine, the celebration, more mushroom wine.

Vee Barlett: Guys, I ain't drunk, right? I didn't think I was more than buzzed. Glimbs, does that mushroom wine make ya trip?

MeLange: it's ok Roth, wisdom is for old people anyway
BOB WOW to the priestess Temp

Rothuss Carder: Congrats, Cap'n! Your ship's grumpy ol' man!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): maybe Werner gets a ghost friend
wyjyoon (Temperance): two yelling ghosts
wyjyoon (Temperance): sounds like cacophony
TMO (Rothuss Carder): “... and then Vee burned the ship to the waterline and retired to a mountain monastery....”
Carissa (Vee Barlett): only if she can shank snowman first and take over

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): like the one chasing all the surfers in newport beach?

BOB So Vee is up
BOB Is she leaving the wheel to Zora?
wyjyoon (Temperance): lol
TMO (Rothuss Carder): ahahahahaha

Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): see zora can steer better :)
BOB Whose ship is this?
Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): mutiny on the grim lady

TMO (Rothuss Carder): probably too soon but ... time to euthanize a sea lion!
Carissa (Vee Barlett): humane slaughter
Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): bad kitty! paws not claws!

Inv Zora Polasis: If the sharks jump on board with the sea lion I'm not going to be happy

BOB Maybe Werner is good luck for Roth, two encounters now without being knocked out

Session 2025-04-11c - 2025-04-11s?

• The evening starts off with To Leave Mel or To Not Leave Mel… to guard the ship. Evidently we can’t just park a ship wherever there’s water.
• We walk through some nature and arrive at a village with houses tucked in on hills. There are goats, which is enough for Vee to go trigger-happy with her jokes. Ratbone just thinks the goats are cute. Tempe is just enjoying the banter.
  • Hello Adventurers! You have encountered: (2) Angry Gnomes that only Zora and Glimber understand.
    • Notes: by the names of Aayden Weinbacher and Gottschalk Honz.
• According to Zora and Glimber, they think we’re sus. Like super secret spy kind of sus. Hence the rock-throwing. Excuse me, but wasn’t rock-throwing kind of our thing when we got desperate? Kidding. Anyways, one rock catches Rothuss at the back of his head, and… knocks him out like a light.
• Should we be genuinely concerned at how easily Rothuss gets knocked out in almost every new adventure? Perhaps reflect for later, because all the bickering between the 2 angry gnomes + 1 upset gnome + Zora = too much noise for Sybille Tischendorf.
  • Hello Adventurers! You have encountered (1) Sybille Tischendorf!
    • Notes: She is an important figure in her village.
• She thinks we’re sus because we’re humans. And they don’t trust humans because there were some who have been trying to steal ownership of their mines. Considering humans have trust issues with each other, Wendy doesn’t blame them.
• Still, she very reluctantly lets us stay the night. The only building tall enough for us, aka City Hall. Very much Gulliver’s Travels Vibes, but like… we’re not that giant, comparatively.
• Rothuss returns to consciousness. Just in time for the Sybille lady to grill us on whether we are Pirates. We answer no until she decides she doesn’t want to deal with our stubborn company, and brings us food. For someone who thinks we’re sus, she’s nice enough.
• We get word that Glimber’s parents aren’t home because they’re off to get help to shoo away the Other Humans from stealing their mine. Apparently, they need a deed. An official document that has to do with land ownership and all that. It’s at this point Wendy has one of her “I might be the Wrong Person to Play a Priest” moments. It takes too much brainpower.
• Tempe goes “I know Churches make legal documents”. And then Zora goes “I’m a Senior Investigator, I could try to help with the Law and Stuff”. Throwback to Pre-Tempe, when Jericho had a curse in relation to a tax stamp. Yeah… that sounded fun for the people involved.
• So here, we have choices:
  • Rough Up Some People
  • Get the Churchy Folk to Write
  • Leave them to their Predicament
• Everyone considers the options over food and Mushroom Wine. Ratbone gets overstimulated and goes back to the ship to get her beauty sleep. Lisa is the singular brain cell and is like “Take it for the Church. It’ll shoo away the humans”.
• So Zora, Tempe, and Roth all contribute their skills to help make this document, which shows that it’s owned by the church and the gnomes, who are granted a lease to work the land as long as they pay their taxes on Mushroom Wine and 50% of the mine’s output.
• And in the morning, when Other Humans come pounding on the door, everyone prepares for…
  • Hello Adventurers! You have all encountered (1) Connell Slateflayer.
    • Notes: aka “a noisy little pissant”. Rothuss’ words, not mine, but definitely agreed.
• Tempe blesses everyone and gets ready to cast other spells. Zora is up front, showing this new guy how pissed off of an Investigator she is. Roth and Vee are wanting to see some blood. Lirt remains in wait, in case we need her in her Stabby Mage Mode.
• So this Connell guy says he’s from the Corporation of Emerald Development. Which is either a super new company or a fake one. We are bagging on the latter, and keep grilling him.
• In the midst of all this…
  • Hello Adventurers! You have encountered (1) Adi Helmke, aka Glimber’s father.
    • Notes: he knows how to turn emeralds into butterflies, but not turn them back.
• So the Connell guy goes off to get his Captain of… um Emerald Development Corp.? Captain looks at the documents, is super upsetti spaghetti, and they all go back down the stream.
• Zora hopes that it doesn’t come back to bite us. Tempe is casually prepared that it will. Apparently what we made was a real document and not just some forged fake thing that we intended, so now Tempe has to come back to collect taxes from them at some point. Which… I guess it is something she’ll have to live with.
• Anyways, gnomes are currently happy that their mine is no longer being harassed, and throw a parade. We enjoy festivities, Vee takes some Mushroom Wine as souvenirs, and Tempe goes over to ask Glimber if she could get one or two Emeralds for spells. This starts off a chain reaction that she didn’t intend, but we get 7 Emeralds and divide it. Zora and Glimber abstain.

Next: Sailing and rowing to make it back along the coast. Back on the water we go!

Quotes of the Night

Vee Barlett: Ain't as hardheaded as you act. Literally.

TMO (Rothuss Carder): need to get this boy a helmet

Inv Zora Polasis: I don't think you want to hear this latest
Vee Barlett: Landlubbers! All of them!
Temperance: Hold your salt, Vee.
Temperance: Not time yet.

Session 2025-04-04c - 2025-04-04s?

Hello folks! Welcome to the Sightseeing Arc, the breath of air after the Salty Cave Nightmare. Maybe it’s just me, maybe it’s the map with the water animation, but it really does give me Animal Crossing vibes.

• Ok, so off we go, towards the Glimber Home! Not even a minute in, Vee is already disgruntled with Rothuss for simply existing. He shrugs it off in casual Rothuss fashion and lumbers off to play with his new toy– I mean, practice his new instrument. Zora reiterates her will to live, and Glimber talks about how much he likes adventuring with everyone.
• Oh yeah, apparently we got a spyglass! Good for us! Zora looks through and can’t see a thing. Oop, did we get scammed? Nope, the glass was just foggy. Lirt takes care of it.
• Hello, Adventurers ! There are (3) fishing ships in the distance.
  • Notes: Vee feels that something is off but can’t quite tell.
• And what do you do when you’re not sure? Talk to the water, of course. So Vee talks. Water talks back. What’s in the water? A swordfish by the name Euchenor. Vee asks for some salty underwater gossip. It’s not salty enough, but Euchenor seems friendly and willing to pass word that we are looking for the Sea Elves.
• Watch Time! But not before Vee gets to poke Rothuss with a blade and casually take credit for his limited moments of wisdom. As we go back and forth on where to anchor for the night…
• Hello, Adventurers ! Meet: Captain Rashida Montarac of the ship Climberbond.
  • Notes: Apparently it’s more of a half-longboat.
• We make acquaintance, and the two captains proceed to bond over how great of captains they are. Oh yeah, we do get some nice info about the Pelican, the town’s hotspot. Evidently the guy who owns it upcharges a lot, so we gotta squiggle our way to a good deal.
• Vee’s like: Rothuss, I Choose You! like he’s her distraction pokemon. In all seriousness, he is very skilled at smooth-talking his way into and out of things, so good choice. Tempe is there for uh... moral support, I guess? She doesn’t question it and remains Very Confused for the rest of the evening.
• Hello, Adventurers ! Meet: Agapion Morozov, the Upcharge Guy.
• Pelican owner immediately thinks they’re committed. They are not, but don’t disagree because it might help get them a discount on the rooms and find libraries. There is not enough literature to go around, unfortunately, but there are rooms up for bargaining. It’s suddenly a verbal battle between auctioneer and bidders. Suggested price? 1 room for 4 silver, 2 rooms for 10.
• Roth is like, where’s the math in that? After some back and forth, it is settled for 7 silver plus a story. Mel bloops into existence just in time for Rothuss to set the scene, and then… well, it’s all Improv from here, folks.
• Hello, Adventurers ! How would you like to be a Theatre Troupe Formed a Minute Ago?
  • Notes: It involves The Shirtless Axe Hero Mel, Tempe the Giantess, Roth the Narrator, and an audience of like… 7 people. But hey, start small, right?

Intermission for: The entirety of the performance is posted below. For record’s sakes, but also… it was hard to paraphrase because of the pure chaos and the back and forth. You’re welcome :)

• To give credit, all goes well with the storytelling. There’s even audience participation, which is amazing! The people think it’s amazing too, which means they want MOOOREEE. Tempe is like “that’s enough excitement for one day” and distracts them with… booze. Because that’s not going to get rowdy at all, right? It is predictably Very Effective. And then we get to keep both rooms, sleep off the booze, and sail in the morning!
• Next episode: Onwards to Glimber’s House.

The Minute Theatre

Rothuss Carder: 'Kay. Mel, get up here. Show these fine folk what you've got.
MeLange scuttles up to Rothuss, takes his shirt off, and flexes.
Rothuss Carder: This lad here, beat a giant in single combat! First blood!
MeLange changes pose and feigns an attack.
Temperance: I believe we were in the mountains at some sort at the time.
Rothuss Carder: It was what, 15, 20 foot tall?
MeLange: Never been much for measuring
Temperance: It appeared taller, like it could touch the clouds.
MeLange: Body odor wasn't easy to get over either.
Rothuss Carder: So it did, so it did. A mighty lady, she was. And fierce. Like she could pull your arms off.
MeLange: And use it as a toothpick no less.
Temperance: She definitely could have had all of us for breakfast and then some.
Rothuss Carder: If the fella with her was any indication, the lady giants are bigger and meaner than the men.
Temperance: It seemed like she was the matriarch of her tribe, though I couldn't be too sure of the ins and outs of the giant tribal structure.

Ruslan Olkhovsky: How big are the men?

Temperance: Maybe about 10 to 15 feet? Just a tad bit smaller than the women.
Rothuss Carder: Still not someone you'd want to take on at wrestling, for sure. They stormed into our camp one night, saying we'd taken their prize fishing spot. Bet you didn't know giants fished, eh?
Temperance: Oh, it was right next to the lake of their camp! I remember a bit more now.

Ruslan Olkhovsky: Do they fish for giant fish?

Rothuss Carder: They certainly can! This group was actually there for pearls! There was a couple sunken ships in the lake with urchins growing in them. They'd come out every year or two, lift the ships out of the water, and harvest the urchins.

MeLange pretends to crack open a sea urchin and eat it, then rubs his belly.
Temperance: We certainly had to be careful with those urchins, they were quite a handful.
MeLange pretends to step on an urchin and grabs at his pained foot.
Rothuss Carder: Anyways, since we'd gotten the campsite first, the obvious solution to keep the site was a duel, one of us versus one of them. To first blood, of course, no need for anyone to die for a camping spot.
MeLange mimes a sword duel.
Temperance: And though Melange is quite a duelist with his own weapon, I was a little apprehensive as to whether we would succeed. Quite nervewracking, to witness someone you know facing a treetop of a creature.
Rothuss Carder: She was three times his size, almost blotted out the sun.
MeLange shrugs his shoulders
MeLange: You know what they say, the bigger they are, the more likely they are to crush ya.
Rothuss Carder: And she did, too. Grabbed him first thing, like a small child, and flung him out like a stone into the lake.
Rothuss Carder: But did he let that stop him?!
Temperance: Not the Melange I know, he wouldn't.

Ruslan Olkhovsky: He is standing there right?
Ruslan Olkhovsky: So he did not get crushed OBVIOUSLY

MeLange shakes his head
Rothuss Carder: That's right! No blood!

Agapion Morozov: Hush Ruslan and let them tell the story.
Agapion Morozov: Maybe he got better.
Agapion Morozov: Temperance can heal Rothuss from being stabbed all the time, she said
Rothuss Carder: I love audience participation! It shows you're listening.
Rothuss Carder: So please, ask any questions you have.

Temperance: He didn't need healing from falling in the lake! At least.. not yet.

Agapion Morozov: OOOOO a Clifhanger

Rothuss Carder: But you should have seen the look in that giant's eyes when he swims back in and goes right back into the ring with her.
MeLange raises an eyebrow in anticipation
Temperance: She was indeed rather perplexed. I could hear her booming voice all the way from where I was watching.
Temperance: tries to mimic a giant lady's voice.
Temperance: GIVE UP ALREADY, MEASLY HUMAN!
Rothuss Carder: laughs.
MeLange: Never!!!

Intermission for: a Song Recommendation from Sharif.

Rothuss Carder: But not our MeLange! He gets right back in there! He dives right back in, between her feet, where she can't reach him! At least not without hurting herself.
MeLange boxes in place.
Temperance: It was certainly a battle strategy, using his comparatively smaller stature to his advantage.

Ruslan Olkhovsky: Covers up his privates imagining

Rothuss Carder: The giantess can't use her sword, so she tries to stomp on him with her great feet!
Rothuss Carder stomps his foot loudly at Melange
MeLange mimes dodging right, then dodging left and back
Temperance: clears her throat to try and mimic the voice of the giantess.
Temperance: YOU THINK YOU CAN OUTSMART ME, HUMAN??
MeLange: “I may not outsmart ya Giant!” I said. “But I'll kick your big butt!”
Rothuss Carder: He dodges once! Twice! Three times! And then...
Rothuss Carder: stomps three times, loudly.
MeLange pretends to dodge all three stomps.
MeLange: I could feel her knuckle hairs run across my back. It was that close!
Rothuss Carder: But don't forget.. he's armed too. Show 'em, big guy.
MeLange Unleashes the gun show, flexing his biceps as he exhales audibly.
Temperance: She was certainly nimble, and her frustration must have made her more quick. But ah, Melange was faster! And armed with his trusty axe to help!
MeLange pulls out the axe and holds it up to the sky.
Rothuss Carder: When she was off-balance, a single swing into the inside of her knee was all it took to end the match in our favor.
MeLange: swings left with the axe
Rothuss Carder: First Blood, to MeLange.

Ruslan Olkhovsky: WOW

MeLange: just like that y'all
Temperance: The giantess had no choice but to admit defeat.
MeLange: "Yield!" I may have said.
Temperance: And thus, the giantess agreed to help us harvest the goods within their fishing grounds.
