>A rather industrious member of the LIzardfolk who has traveled with humans for a while decides to start a business farming shrimp, crawdads and catfish out of the swamp and selling them to the nearby human cities

I hear he's a real cold-blooded businessman.

Sounds like a good plot hook and maybe the basis for a "seven samurai" style of adventure.

Lizardmen are too dumb to do that shit. Plus, who the fuck wants to deal with food that's been handled by those filthy cold-blooded freaks?

>Not wanting lizardfolk gumbo

I'm curious how 7 Samurai plays into it. I though the village was under seige by bandit ronin looking to steal rice from villages they hit?

I'll have this world...kid...

I'd watch it.

Got a chuckle outta me.

Sounds really cool, user.

I don't get it, the lizard fishing village would hire the PC's to protect them you mean?

This is unironically one of the best threads on Veeky Forums right now.

>His legless former party leader and companion joins him soon after

Hell, I'd play it.

Goddammit, that's what I get for not reading the whole thread first.

A bit odd to call him legless, though; most yuan-ti are.

Why do i get the feeling they just catch it with their teeth, and don't understand why no one wants lizard saliva fish?

Initially definitely. People still buy it as pet food.
Then one time he catches a big batch by hand, because he has a tooth infection and his mouth is sore, and now people are more willing to eat them themselves - his stock disappears twice as fast.
So he tries by hand and spear again, and discovers that people are really into his catch.
He mixes it up by selling some of the more flavoursome underwater plants and kelps, too, when a local asks how he prepares his fish.
He starts a new revolution nearby of all sorts of sea and river food

Did you get this from Overlord S2 because that sounds strangely familiar.

Huh, Bubba is a good orc name.

Throw in some gumbo voodoo in there. Especially since crawfish and other crustaceans feed on decomposing matter, such as corpses of adventurers.

I could see the first few baskets like this and not selling well, him getting kind of despondent his sales are poor then some good Samaritan politely explains humans don't like other people's teeth marks in their food.

Alternately, or additionally, some businesses may be fine with them that way, like cheaper places who don't sell the fish whole, like for cheap fish stews. Maybe the lizard does well and makes allies of selling his fish for cheap to orphanages, monasteries and the like?

Really though, I imagine nets and the tricky trap things just much more efficient.

Red or white? Is the discussion on what is superior taboo?

Gumbo blanc est mieux

>MFW Fantasy Samphire

They could just wash it before selling it

Enlighten me to the difference Cajun Joe

White, or Cajun gumbo, uses a light or brown roux, and is stock based.

Red gumbo, is an abomination that is tomato based, and should be stricken from the face of the earth.

Regional and cultural differences. Red gumbo adds tomatoes as a main ingredient. It's a coon-ass take on proskub/antiskub.

>9
I see, I see. Well, I assume Cajun lizard folk would be using stock instead of tomatoes so my headcannon is white gumbo.

What do lizardfolk think of curry?

Who would the other 3 of 7 be?

>Big Jim's plucky but inexperienced son, Lil' Jim. He uses a revolver that looks like 6 blowguns bundled together.

I can see eastern lizardfolk cooking curry in some sort of underwater pots where the water is still enough that the ingredients don't float away too much while it cooks.

I see now that we can never be friends, no matter how cordial we act.

Red is for russkies

Everything north of Abita is filled with yankees. Fight me, connard.

They're bus cats.

Swim Forrest! Swim!

Maybe some sort of fire resistant bag (made from some exotic creatures stomach mayhaps) cooked over a hot water vent, or in hot springs
