Story[edit | edit source]
For more about the actual in-world event, see The Naga's Glaik of Galik
Galik (DM Mike)[edit | edit source]
At DM Mike's table, players were taken in a large-scale dungeon crawl through a large portion of Galik to reach a temple deep in the city where the Naga was psionically anchored, meaning it was immortal unless the temple's pillars could be destroyed.
Along the way they fought snakes and spiders and all manner of fodder meant to slow them down and keep them from getting to the temple.
Krunch's Head (DM James)[edit | edit source]
At DM James' table, the players were taken through 5 different "Tower Defense" style combats, where the heroes needed to protect a tortle named Captain Krunch, while the Naga twisted and distorted the world, taking them through 5 nightmare traps. This was where they could finally kill the Naga for good, but only if the team at DM Mike's table had reached the temple and destroyed the 4 pillars/anchors.

Other Games[edit | edit source]
While the first convention was structured around a single massive day-long adventure, having everyone in one place also meant some spontaneous gaming was able to also happen that weekend.
IRL Brightwater Meetup[edit | edit source]
Typically an online campaign, DM Kevin was able to wrangle the whole team to his place for their first and only in-person Brightwater meetup where they had dinner from Fuji Jade Garden and played 5-Minute Dungeon.
