What happened: Characters gathered in tavern, took a day to prepare, then head off to Transville. Upon arriving, is met with guards and escorted to the captain, on the way is scene of sick people, just like the notice has said. Captain reveals that the previous team, consisting of 16 people, noted that they knew a place for medicinal herbs and if it doesn't work they move to another location, but in the end they never returned. Some inquiries later, the party heads off to the original spot, which is blocked by the territory of a fishmen tribe. Wan started off trying to converse, after learning they know common, the party persuaded the guard (with the promise to make it more attractive for mates, ew) to meet with the spokeperson (or spokefish). Spokefish then smack the guardfish silly, telling it to know its place, then the party bargains with them, with no need for materials within the tribe, the spokefish then suggest a deal to subjugate a monster near the territory for passage to the herbs. Agreeing to the deal, the party heads out, but what they met was not a normal monstrous threat like wild owlbears, it was a huge winged monster with tentacles and many eyes, capable of casting spells and dealing mental harm, ripping away memories- almost like an Aboleth but not at the same time. A struggle ensues, the party taking mental damage, losing memories, poisoned by the air and still having to deal with its tentacles, but victorious in the end nontheless. Combat was standard, until it successfully mind controlled Morban to attack the party, as Ellianna was then forced to step up, leading to her falling unconscious several times as D and Wan helped her up while helping Morban pile on the damage after his un-charmed-ing. The party was, well- fine now but due to a previous deal to bring the body back for the fishmen to eat, their intention to keep the body for harvest or selling to the guild was unfortunately abandoned, at least a pair of archery was found in the lair- which was then promptly given to Wan as the only exclusive bow user. Being granted passage, the party picked the herbs and uprooted a sizable amount of shrubs, intending to leave them for the town to cultivate outside of the fishmen's territory, for there probably won't be a next time, unless a large-scale takeover is in place. With that, they recieve their rewards, and head back, probably to a good bath after the whole mess that is the swampy Monster's Lair
