Gary, Dubya and Elmer are breakfasting in the tavern and encounter a new friend, Reed, who joins them at the map table where Gary asks Elmer for some advice in interpreting a dream he’s had of a god with the body of a man and the head of an alligator who calls him somewhere with mangrove forests. The party discusses it and decides the most likely place to find such a thing would be down south at the shoreline depicted at the very bottom of the map table. Elmer is of the opinion that they are seeking Allifoe, Dwarfoe’s consort in the pantheon, which makes everyone wonder about all those teeth. Gary is pretty sure he’s looking for Alfonse the Alligator God. It’s unclear if he’s aware of this from his history or if he’s deeply misunderstanding Elmer’s presentation of theology.

Most of a day’s travel south the party encounters a huge, overgrown hedege and hacks their way into the center of it to camp for the night undisturbed.

The next day they continue south and after most of another day’s travel they start to encounter a swampier terrain, pools of standing water and the first few stunted mangroves. They can see a rise a few miles to the south that they head for to get an overview of the terrain but on the way are ambushed by a Vegepygmy Chief, though they dispatch him relatively easily and take a number of beautifully carved stone ornaments from his little twiggy corpse, several bracelets and rings worth about 400G or 100G each.

The camp in a hollow on the high ground and set out in the middle of the night, under the full moon, to attempt to find the place that Gary has been dreaming of. Elmer prays to Dwarfoe and Allifoe for guidance but only gets a vague sense of direction. Gary fares somewhat better and gets a stronger sense that they’re headed in the right direction and intuitively guides them to a ruined, overgrown temple that has begun to sink into the swamp. As they approach it Gary gets a sense of familiarity and the party goes inside. Dubya sees a brief flash of enormous eyes and a sense of movement at the back of the temple as they enter and Gary strides towards the middle of the open space, attempting to commune with Alfonse. Instead he gets charged and grappled by a Giant Crocodile.

After a moderately tense fight the party kills the crocodile and Gary gets the sense that they’ve cleansed the temple of its defilement by the crocodile and breaks off a number of teeth, including several of the huge incisors, one for a dagger and the rest for a necklace. Dubya cuts off one of the giant crocodile feet and Elmer takes a tooth as well for…something. The total value of crocodile carcass, skin, etc. is around 1000G, or 250G each. Reed searches the rest of the temple and finds a pile of rotting bones and clothes with a number of gems, some loose coinage and a silver holy symbol, all worth about 800G, or another 200G each.
