Woke up and continued on our seed hunt: needed three more seeds. Kiiv navigated North further into the swamp, Kestyn poled, Orla looked for seed and found one and Morro extracted it, bringing our total to 10. Whipp found firewood and Gulden made a hut.
We slept safely and headed further north. Orla found 2 seeds but Morro butchered one and himself. Gulden heard shouting for help and we went to investigate and found a greenish metallic lady dragonborn entangled by a giant snake. We rushed to her rescue; Morro shot it with fire arrows, Gulden mocked it, Whipp smashed it. Kiiv tried to show off his heroism for the lady, setting up a spectacular jump off the boat that promptly landed him facedown in the swamp. He picked himself up, brushed off the muck, and went back at it. The snake constricted the lady while she tried unsuccessfully to escape. Orla magic missiled it. Kestyn jumped more skillfully and ran over. Morro finished it off with a fire arrow.
Kiiv did a terrible job of flirting despite the group's best efforts to wingperson him. She offered to pay us with Flacron seeds to take her home and introduced herself as Priscilla while Kiiv stood as far away as possible. We met her sisters, Isabella and Marianne, and stayed for a dinner of fish stew and some awkard conversation. Morro fell asleep in his chair and the group started to sense that something was fishy (and it wasn't just the stew). Kiiv dug for information, pressing them on their weird names and accents, until they disappeared.
Kestyn tried diplomacy while Whipp smashed blindly around them to no effect. Orla tried to wake Morro and got clawed by the enemy for her pains. Gulden got one with Tasha's hideous laughter until Enna's stab helped it snap out of it. Whipp smashed; Morro shot fire arrows until it said "yeeeeee." Orla summoned a cloud of daggers and then Kiiv great-axed and smote, making it "yip yip." One of them zapped several party members with lightning and set the hut on fire. Another paralyzed Whipp, Kestyn, and Gulden; then a third put Kiiv to sleep. Enna very briefly wild-shaped into a panther but was knocked out of shape. Things got desperate: Morro shot Kiiv to wake him up; Orla lobbed a fireball and set the house on fire. An enemy zapped several of us again, but Enna healed Morro. Kestyn slashed, Morro shot one dead. Its corpse changed shape into something green and very ugly. Enna stabbed, Kestyn slashed. Morro killed another. Kiiv axed the last one until it said "ugh." Gulden got Kestyn with Tasha's to prevent him from killing the monster. The last monster disappeared again. We tried some random attacks to find it with no luck. It ran out the door and disappeared.
We found a sleeping dragonborn girl and some treasure. Kestyn and Enna nabbed some herbs. Gulden dragged the bodies out of the raging fire and we learned that they were hags. Discovered that the young girl is likely a hag, too. She went invisible so we noped out in the boat, though not before Kestyn foolishly left her a ration. We fled and set up the hut after 2 hours of careful poling through the swamp.
We spent the entire day long-resting. Morrow caught enough fish for some of us, while others had to dig into more questionable rations. Upon examination, we discovered that we had extracted gems and artwork worth 651 gold pieces, a Periapt of Wound Closure, a Potion of Climbing, 2 Potions of Healing, a Wand of Web, and a Dagger +1.
