			Continuing through the water temple, the group is split up crossing a dank pool and ambushed by a pod of cultists, led by an Abomination of Leviathan. Fortunately for the rest of the freebooters, the enemies all focus on trying to daze Edwin Cocalas. Although successful, even this foul trick is turned against them as Edwin's tactical swoon allows Ronaldo and Chaedi to mercilessly hammer the Abomination more easily! After yet another archer is ruthlessly hunted down in the maze, the freebooters move on to a chamber mostly submerged in inky worm goo. From the depths appears the Serpent Queen and battle is joined. As the freebooters maneuver with agility throughout the room, the multicephalous monstrosity lurks beneath the poisonous muck! Will the gang be able to overcome this nightmare, or will they become it?

			=== Session 13 ===

			After being banned for 10 years from a local drinking competition appropriately named "Flipadelphia," the gang tries to reignite their old rivalry with another local bar. Finding that they are in need of some serious practice, the guys head to Dennis' old fraternity house at the University of Pennsylvania to get their game up to speed while Dee hones her skills on her own. Frank wears skinny pants.

The Bang Goes the Theory team install the Collins family in a house disconnected from the national grid: all the electricity they use will come from a squad of cyclists pedalling stationary bikes attached to dynamos. In a nice touch, the Collinses are unaware of the cyclists, so they merrily turn on their toaster (nine cyclists needed), oven (24) and electric shower (70 going full pelt). Like the cyclists, the idea gets tired halfway through, but it's a vivid guilt trip on what casual decisions mean in terms of energy use. And we learn how to roast a chicken with two light bulbs.

	The freebooters beat a hasty retreat from docking fee negotiations after Abdul mentions the presence of inquisitive Varians. Approaching the Temple, they encounter a halfling named Shades, a confederate of Ronaldo, who offers his services as a guide and equal partner in the freebooters' quest to bilk the arcanologists. Descending into the dank temple, they are almost immediately ambushed by cultists. Using the winding entrance maze to their advantage, the cultist archers shoot poison arrows from concealment as the freebooters split up to chase them down. Edwin Cocalas is hampered by his claustrophobia, but with some helpful advice from Shades and clever tactical maneuvering, he is able to bring the full force of his deadly lightning to bear. The cultists defeated, Shades tells an anachronistic joke.		The freebooters beat a hasty retreat from docking fee negotiations after Abdul mentions the presence of inquisitive Varians.

	That is about when their piracy got noticed by The Varian Confederation. It wasn't the raiding of small communities, the plundering of local ships, or even housing lesser criminals that got their attention. It was Raiding a Confederation ship and holding it's captain ransom ( The ship was The S.S. Armageddon, one of the largest Varian battle ships they have. The captain, who is still alive, is the Notorious Capt. Franicis "Bulldog" Valleymen). The Varian Confederation blew the Flying Hydra out of the astral sea and into the bowels of pandemonium. Very few crew members survived the attack and Captain Kid betrayed his own crew to flee.		That is about when their piracy got noticed by The Varian Confederation.
