- Boobs
- Apple Pie!
- The team gathers a bucket and entrails from Old Ben which they use to try to bait the large creature in the lake
- Anders tosses one large chunk into the lake, then there are large bubbles before the water stills again
- Anders tosses another piece slightly closer in, then hands the bucket to Grim putting on night vision goggles and readying his gun
- Noän readies a magic net
- Grim takes the bucket and dribbles chum at the very edge of the water then makes a trail of food onto land
- A large shape backlit by the setting sun rises behind Grim. They sense the cold behind them and start running, throwing the bucket aside.
- N throws a magic net pulling the creature out of the water and anchors it to the bank of the lake
- Anders shoots the creature for 3 Harm, but gets scraped by a clawed tentacle
- The creature starts thrashing back towards the water dragging N with it
- G loses their head and jumps the creature taking a tusk to the belly for 4 Harm
- The creature thrashes and manages to get its feet back into the water
- N tries to stand their ground tightening the net, but does manage to anchor it (9 on Act Under Pressure)
- Anders shoots some more giving the creature 3-Harm but some of the bullets ricochet beating her armor up some more
- G is laying in the dirt and observes that the monster's hide is slippery with mucus, so he could probably be dehydrated, but that would take time. He's cold, so heat would probably be a good weapon, but its weakest point is the tentacles.
- N finally manages to tighten the net enough to slow the creature to a stop and then pumps some heat into the lines of the nets, but the net explodes with a bright flash throwing N back and the monster farther forward into the lake, and it disappears from view
- N is unconscious because of energy drain
- G is Unstable
- A needs new armor
- Old Ben creaks his door open and asks if it's dead yet
- ANG must admit that it got away
- A patches up G - no longer Unstable
- OB wakes up N with something terribly stinky, then gets them some dense, dark bread spread with honey that revives them enough to get proper rations from the van
- A submits the photographs and a report, but while they are resting they hear gunfire from across the lake for a minute or two before it stops
- ANG dive into the van and start driving to the other side of the lake
- As they drive up to the Stanton homestead, the headlights illuminate a trail of blood
- G yells for Robert, and they hear a groan over by the lake
- G stays in the van, but A and N hop out and start searching for Robert. A goes one way, and N the other.
- N doesn't see any bubbles, so she approaches the water and sees Robert. N dashes over and calls for A.
- They carry him away from the water so they can't be jumped while treating his several wounds.
- He's just conscious enough to tell them that the creature took Pearl
- A tries first aid, but it doesn't go well, so N calls for a MedEvac
- A calls Commander to try to negotiate for a harpoon gun and a winch at minimum and an additional squad to help surround the lake if possible
- There is no harpoon gun, but he sends SCUBA gear (3x) and a grenade launcher and two more pairs of night vision goggles
- N forwards the report to Harrison who calls to tell them the name of the creature, an Iku-Tarso, which is Finnish.
- An hour later, the Med helicopter arrives, but Robert has passed
- The medics check the wound beneath A's field dressing and then wrap them back up
- G has a crazy idea to drop a sheep into the lake to draw the creature out again, but they're the only one who thinks it's a good idea
