00:00 Starting Soon ("Stiria" from A Memory of Winter by Aaron Hodges-Boyle)
06:01 Beginning (Birth of a Banner Spear)
18:00 We're on a Boat! (Boat Event 4)
28:38 Scenario 14: Jagged Shoals

After creating Rich's Banner Spear and learning that Boat Events are AWESOME, Rich, Greg, and James head off to the Jagged Shoals in search of another shard of the Lurker Crown!

Let me tell you, folks... I can see why they don't call this place the Gentle Shoals! This is a fiendish scenario design, which uses its map layout and special rules to craft a perfect playing field for three new enemies--Lightning Eels, Piranha Pigs, and Abael Herders--to show what they can do. What they can do, it turns out, is *really quickly overwhelm a party that gets a little cocky based on the not-that-impressive base stats of these monsters!

Will the gang find a way to hack their way through some of the worst marine life you've ever seen and claim the coral shard? Will the Banner Spear click with the rest of the established team? Will there be some reason why the Abael Herders--anthropomorphic fish-chimeras with indescribable faces and cat o' nine tails whips in hand--aren't mentioned at all in the scenario introduction, even though they seem to be driving the Piranha Pigs to attack us?

There's only one way to find out!
