"The wild night at the Lobster" is a name given to several evenings following The Satisfied Fishwife's return to Port Skaug. These generally occurred after a great victory wherein their purses were significantly fattened.

The First Wild Night at the Lobster

Following The Fishwives' defeat of The Hag on Hag Island, and flush with vast wealth, The Fishwives descended upon their old haunt The Wayward Lobster and got extremely fucked up. These are their stories.

The night according to Ardrick

Ardrick engaged in a drinking contest and woke up with a blue beard and little memory of the previous night.

The night according to Ilabrar

Ilabrar remembers nothing of the night, though townsfolk spoke the following day of a demonic cat seen prowling the city. This probably had nothing to do with him.

The night according to Ka-Ess

Ka-Ess, whose fettle was at that moment exceeding fine, spent the evening in free and careless revelry. This included many merry jigs and reels with the favorite courtesan of the jealous Teldorn Gralhund, son of the Merchant Prince Orond Gralhund. Strong and ungentlemanly words were exchanged, culminating in a duel the next morning, after which the valiant Ka-Ess spared the upstart's life.

The night according to Sathul

Sathul awoke with a strong feeling that he had done something terribly illegal but absolutely no idea what.

The Second Wild Night at the Lobster

After The Fishwives's defeat of Valraxaxath and their acquisition of the dragon's vast wealth, Ka-Ess bought out The Wayward Lobster.

The night according to Ilabrar

Ilabrar wakes up 20 GP poorer on the floor of one of the nicer rooms in the back of The Lobster. The room is known for its large and comfortable bed. In it are a sly pimp, two expensive doxies, a typical streetwalker, a brazen strumpet, and a rich panderer. All are mostly or completely nude.

The night according to Sathul

Sathul regains consciousness in the alley just as the sun is rising. Next to him is the dead body of a large, prosperous-looking human merchant. He rifles through his clothes to find 10 GP, a religious symbol of a scythe and hammer. The body is missing its heart. He uses a Dimension Door to drop the body in the harbor and returns to The Lobster for a drink.

The night according to Cheeky

Cheeky comes to on a couch in a large warehouse. She is nude and her figure is being painted on canvas by art students. She takes a painting for her personal collection.

The night according to Ka-Ess

Ka-Ess awakens behind Ivellios' Emporium in a full-length ballgown. It is of the latest fashions and fitted perfectly to his figure.

The night according to Ardrick

Ardrick is about 9 GP poorer upon awakening. A servant boy delivers about 300 freshly-baked pasties in a series of baskets.

The night according to Cal

Cheeky found Cal in a bed in his tabaxi form wearing a large hat, a fake nose, and a false moustache. He vaguely remembers a dancing contest taking place.
