We do a long prologue to get people caught up on this whole section of the adventure and then join our crew on the deck of the blackfish while they try to pillage the Vessel.  Please support Dugongs & Sea Dragons on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/DugongsAndSeadragons    

The battle with the fraudulent scrimshaw and his Kraken comes to an end. Hilarity ensues as they crew starts tying up loose ends. Apologies for the poor audio quality, we lost our original recording and had to complete it from individual backups. I’d like to say it won’t happen again in the future, but we are not great at learning from our mistakes. I mean it took us 2 sessions to open a door once.  Please support Dugongs & Sea Dragons on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/DugongsAndSeadragons    

The Battle with the fraudulent scrimshaw rages on. The fraud looks like he’s on the ropes, but he has another trick up his sleeve.  Please support Dugongs & Sea Dragons on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/DugongsAndSeadragons
