Lonesome Wanderings, Session 34

 In which Badger and Maggie...

• Find a strange portal into a magical garden in the wilds.
• Discover some psychedelic blue fruits in the garden that they harvest, as well as a false tooth that makes him immune to poison which Badger cleans and inserts into his mouth.
• Go deeper into the garden to find a greenhouse that is completely inverted, hanging from the ceiling.
• Explore hothouses using hanging vines and the Rope of Climbin the greenhouse and gather some valuable plants with medicinal and ornamental properties.
• See signs of some sort of slimy monster in the hothouses.
• Accidentally release a monstrous Sundew plant and are forced to flee out of the garden for their lives.
• Travel to the Yellow City, resting at one sketchy teahouse the Best Tea 852.
• Offer to help out (for a price) one Gambam, who is in trouble with local priests of Ngaire, the Poppy deity of agriculture and food, for having pissed on the temple shrine while drunk.
• Traverse the jungles and delta plains with Gambam, searching for the venom of a Naga, the only sacrifice the priests of Ngaire claim will soothe the god.
• Discover an ascetic in the jungles who their guide claims is immortal, and try to converse with him only to discover he vanishes once they approach.
• Stumble onto a ghost tiger, a vengeful spirit which kills Gambam and Maggie, Badger fleeing for his life.
• Finally stumble upon the Naga lair, but have no way to access it as the few Nagas around it retreat into the swamp.
  
• Run into the elf trader Fyodorel, who had ties with the Nagas and for the price of a false silver coin, discusses terms to let Badger down to converse with the Nagas.
• Lead to a Naga pleasure chamber, where a beautiful Naga courtesan spy Vandini easily seduces Badger to find out what his purpose is.
• Found by the Naga courtesan to be a non threat, and she herself milks some of her venom to give to Badger before sending him on his way (refusing his requests for her to join him on his adventures).
• Return to the Yellow City without incident and give the priests the poison, which supposedly calms Ngaire's wrath.
• Take payment for delivering the venom. Badger rests for one month in the Yellow City, selling off all the loot, mourning his fallen comrades, and healing up from the wounds received in the jungles.
