The Danger Gang Interview A Dead Octopus
In the middle of the night, a giant Octopus crawls on the deck of the Tigriss. That was his last mistake. Zombres drops the ol' Phantasmal Killer on him, and the dude hallucinates a dude with a spear stabbing him right in his giant head.
The next morning, Gershom goes for the classic combo of Speak With Dead and Speak With Animals, see what kind of intel this dude had.
Question #1: What is the latest phase of the octopus' plan? This dude claims to have been just an (eight) foot soldier, but it was rumored that the servants of the servants have discovered the place they must dig.
Question #2: What is the news from the depths of the ocean? The Mahasirs are all over the place looking to come back to the land. The Spawn Of The Sea is getting more active. The Watchman Of Enis is patrolling the sea again.
Question #3: What secrets of the deep can you tell us? There are underwater cities in the Euxine with almost no sea life since the Morkoth died. The Servants of the One will soon return.
All that proved to be quite illuminating. Time for octopus stew.
Later that day, using an array of spells, they float the boat over the Corinthian peninsula, saving themselves several days of sailing.
