S1E7 (Pirates of Salt Bay episode)

"S1E7" is the seventh episode of the first season of Pirates of Salt Bay. The show aired live on November 6, 2019 on the Saving Throw Twitch channel, and is archived on the YouTube channel.

Summary
The crew finally meet with the Aarakocra to hear the details of their job offer. After agreeing to terms and meeting the other pirate hired to help, Ilyrio Lupineheart, they travel to the Barony and set out to find the Hill Giant.

Eventually they discover the giant digging in the mountainside, apparently looking for something more than the valuable obsidian it is finding and tossing aside.

The crew attacks and quickly discovers that the giant is wearing an illusion, and is actually a fire giant. In the midst of battle, Ilyrio is overcome by a migraine and morphs into Gary, who is desperate to get Dirty Hank's lantern.

Hank, Eoj and Gary fight over the lantern while Addi finishes off the fire giant. Gary explains lives are depending on him destroying the thing inside the lantern, and with a push from Hadal, Dirty Hank destroys the lantern itself, causing darkness to cover the land, and Gary/Ilyrio to drop dead.
