We awaken on a random island in the swamp after a long rest. Still missing one seed, we decide to search for what we seek. Kiiv believes we are about a three days journey north from the river. Kiiv suggests moving south for the day to look for the missing seed while going in the generally correct direction.
We travel for the day and don’t find the seed. We settle on another island for the night.
Taking the advice of the party, Kiiv believes we are going east. As we move through the swamp, Gulden and Morro observe something large and green in the distance which doesn’t appear to be an island or plant life. A massive hydra swims toward the boat. Enna calls lightning, Kiiv attempted to throw a magic bean in one of its mouths but missed, Orla casts web around the hydra, and others hold actions. Morrow aims fire arrows at the hydra and results in one of the heads becoming non-responsive. Orla casts fireball and the hydra becomes bloodied. Kiiv blesses some of the party — Kestyn is able to damage the hydra a little more. The party continues to attack the hydra — it attempted to flip the boat but failed. Kiiv dealt the final blow. Amazingly, none of the party suffered any damage.
A stone statue of Kiiv appears in the swamp water and starts trash talking Kiiv. The statue is located in the spot that the magic bean bounced off the hydra in the water. Whipp and Kiiv place a rope around the statue and eventually use leverage to pull the statue over.
We spend the rest of the day resting and turning the hydra into rations (each player getting 8 rations). Orla, Morro, and Kiiv go out looking for more seeds but have no luck. We make camp on the nearby island and spend the night.
We start by heading east and looking for the last flacron seed. We failed. Don’t do much the rest of the day.
We head "north" on Sunday (but Kiiv rolled a natural one). We come across the hydra again, indicating we went the wrong way. Enna had no luck in the morning but Orla tries in the afternoon (again with no luck).
Three Dragonborn appear and shout "HALT". We ultimately exchange a magic bean for a flacron seed. They indicate which direction is south and we resume travel in that direction (three days away). We hear screams a few minutes later and find out that they planted the magic bean, producing pink toads that when touched turned into crocodiles. We finish the day going south
Monday we just traveled south.
During our continued southward journey we got stuck in a lagoon with two Otyughs. We were again able to immobilize and eventually defeat them.
