1.8. The Great Escape


The chaos continued, and they murdered more orcs, the orc shaman, and a bunch of worgs. They ran for a boat on the shore, but familiar tentacles were whipping around over the beach. Baron attacked one, and was pulled deep into the lake.

Kraken. Airborne.
Making it onto the boat, the rest of the party rowed madly for where Baron was flailing, with the orc warlord in hot pursuit. Just as the water below began to glow red, they see a gigantic kraken breach the water. It leapt up into the air, a majestic sight, and came down, maw open, to swallow their boat whole as the lake erupted.

The gang found themselves in a hot, dark, wet kraken stomach. The orc warlord lurches out of the digestive liquids for a final attack. They party was aided by an ancient old man in a crown, who swung in on intestines like Tarzan to hit the orc from behind.

He introduced himself as King Aelfric, and he seemed a bit insane. He couldn’t say how long he’d been trapped inside this kraken, but he said that he really took a shining to them. In fact, if they would help him retake the Imperial throne, he would grant them any title they desired. Baron was given the presidency, Droog became King of the Army and Treasury, Fungi became Head of the Church, and Dr Sleaze became Court Musician.
