Largemouth Bass & Sons

Largemouth Bass & Sons
Region	The Big Moist
Unlocked by	Reading the sign at Swamp Bus Stop or while wandering

The two fathers at Largemouth Bass & Sons are missing their respective kids, but not so much that they'll pull their heads out of their own buttholes for five seconds.

Quests

Begin by accepting the quest from either Guy Chapman or Adam Tracy.

• Mr. Tracy marks Gatorman Hamlet on your map.
• If you accept the quest from Mr. Chapman:
  • With a crowbar or the cursed key, get Tom Chapman's diary from Chapman House Quarters.
  • Read page 33 of the diary.
  • Ask Peter, the guard out front, about nearby gatorman camps.

Also talk to the guard next to the puddle and learn how far the truck can go (11 miles). Your character will need this information later.

Gatorman Hamlet

• Travel to Gatorman Hamlet.
• If you wait a moment, the gatormen will get out of the way. Or you can fight them.
• Enter the hovel on the left.
• Open the fridge with 7^ish Muscle, or a crowbar and 5^ish Muscle. You gain 35 and meet Fabien.
• Ask Fabien about Tom and Cathy, then about the truck.

Doing the math with what you learned earlier, you unlock Amphibious Truck?. You can search it, or go directly to:

Swamp Bus Stop

MISERABLE BACK.
Enemies	Occams Gator
XP (kill)	19-21
Drops	dried swamp meat (2) Occams Gator's toenail amphibious truck engine (if you tried to eat it)

Cathy and Tom are waiting on the Swamp Bus Stop bench. Have a chat with them, but they won't be willing to come back. (There's a fake option to convince them, which allegedly requires 2 more than your current Moxie.)

Occams Gator interrupts the conversation.

• You can insist he leave the kids alone, then fight him.
  • If you lose, you can retry the fight once, with 7^ish Muscle. Lose a second time and he takes Tom and Cathy back to LB&S.
• You can just let him take the kids. This, or losing the fight, is the only way to return them home.
• You can change his mind with 7^ish Moxie, gaining 45 . The kids go free.

If Occams Gator took the kids, return to the father you accepted the quest from.

• Guy Chapman rewards you with 200 , Chapman's doubler, and if you negotiated for it, Chapman's side door key and permission to fish in the swamp outside his house. Chapman's cat will grant you Charybdis's Boon.
• Adam Tracy rewards you with 300 and Tracy's impossible rod. Tracy's cat will grant you Scylla's Boon.
• If you drive Occams Gator away, freeing the kids, they give you 99 and a judge's wig. Both cats will grant their boon.

Interactions

Outside

• A gloomy man next to a puddle. His truck is missing, it had enough gas for an 11 mile range.
• Talk to the puddle. It can't understand you. It's a puddle.
• Read the sign, unlocking August 2, 1792 at The Watchful Eye Office archives.
• Speak to the center guard about this place.
• You can try fishing but the guard will stop you. With 5^ish Muscle you can intimidate him but he still doesn't let you.

Chapman House

• Talk to Guy Chapman about missing children, etc.
  • With 6^ish Moxie, and having tried to fish outside, bargain for fishing rights along with your quest rewards.
• Cat: Charybdis distrusts you until you bring the kids back for Mr. Chapman, or set them free. Pet her to gain Charybdis's Boon (+20% Item Drops)
• Three chum buckets, labeled:
  • "A STRANGER IS JUST A 'CHUM' YOU HAVEN'T MET YET"
  • "CHAMPAGNE FOR MY REAL CHUMS, REAL PAIN FOR MY SHAM CHUMS"
  • "CHUM PAIN FOR MY REAL CHUMS, REAL PAIN FOR MY CHUM CHUMS." That one's a little more esoteric.
• At the right is a locked door.

Chapman House Mess Hall

Accessible if you took the quest from Guy Chapman.

• Find some hard tack on the HARD TACK shelf.
• A table with bone broth.

Chapman House Quarters

Accessible through the mess hall.

• A sandwich in the refrigerator labeled Adams- do not eat. If you choose to eat it gain effect Original Sindwich.
• Cat: Scylla distrusts you until you bring the kids back for Mr. Tracy, or set them free. Pet her to gain Scylla's Boon (+20% Meat Drops)

Tracy House Quarters

Accessible with small LB&S key or cursed key.

• Search the beds to find spearmint taffy, licorice taffy and sixteen teeth
• Search the coat to find Cathy's letter. You can show it to Adam, but he's beyond reason.

Largestmouth Luke

If you secured fishing rights from Guy Chapman (requires trying to fish outside before accepting the quest), he gives you Chapman's side door key. You can access the swamp and attempt to fish. Doing so, you meet Largestmouth Luke, who gives you a conch shell.

Meeting Luke earns you the achievement The Prince of Tides.
