[[The Fishwives]] had many adventures on their . . . adventures.
== The great Achievements and Exploits of [[Ka-Ess the Rakish]] and his merry [[Fishwives]] ==


==Events in Port Skaug==
=== [[Prologue: The Dread Admiral Drax]] ===
In which our Hero, the valiant Ka-Ess, makes common cause with the stalwart [[Bragen Minotauros]] and the enigmatic [[Mute, Illiterate Half-Orc]] to escape the clutches of the dread [[Admiral Drax]], heedless of the danger thus incurred.
 
=== [[Chapter One: The Bewitching Maiden]] ===
Exhausted, the Company washes ashore [[Hag Island|an uncharted island]] and are greeted there by [[The Hag|a beautiful maiden]] with a terrible secret.
 
=== [[Chapter Two: The Satisfied Fishwife]] ===
In need of crew and supplies, the Company lodges at the Wayward Lobster, where they make the acquaintance of [[Ardrick Blackstone|a doughty Dwarf]] and [[Ilabrar Nightbreeze|a mysterious Druid.]] Their crew assembled, they depart to seize the ship of a disgraced pirate captain.
=== [[Chapter Three: The Taking of Hag Island]] ===
Our brave company returns to [[Port Skaug]] the masters of their newly-acquired sloop, <i>The Satisfied Fishwife</i>. The Fishwives, for now they have truly adopted that name, seek the patronage of the [[Marquis de Rothshyr]] in their quest to visit vengeance upon [[the Hag]]. At the Marquis' [[Solar Festival]], while under the influence of powerful hallucinogens, they defeat assassins sent after [[Ilabrar]] and earn the Marquis' respect. Under his imprimatur, they sail to [[Hag Island]] to slay the fell witch and claim it for their own.
 
=== [[Chapter Four: Perils Beneath the Earth]] ===
The Hag slain, the Fishwives delve into her subterranean lair, an ancient tomb complex which long predated her. There, they find and rescue the sorcerer [[Sathul Tashill]], a being of great power and unknown motivation. As they explore the tomb, they make allies of dragons, couatls, cyclopes and other beasts - and awaken [[Xipacna|a long-buried Evil]].
 
=== [[Chapter Five: An Unspeakable Evil Inhabits My Basement]] ===
The Fishwives return to the Marquis in triumph, and are awarded noble titles and [[Vanwamarta|a Skaugan manse]], which hides secrets of its own. As they battle the shadow-elf sealed in their cellar, [[Cheeky Patch|a new companion]] bursts forth from the ether to save them.
