Globgums, Male Myconid Avenger
Lupin Damakos, Female Tiefling Rogue + Willow, Cat Animal Companion
Enuffdain, Male Elf Paladin
Egnarts, Male Human Sorcerer + Daughter Tina
After a good night’s sleep, our Heroes emerge from their tent. Most of the Heroes are shocked to see that Willow has returned to life (due to an encounter during the night that Lupin chooses to keep to herself). They question Lupin, but she refuses to provide any rational for Willow’s rebirth. Egnarts asks if Lupin will be upset if he kills Willow eight more times, purely as an empirical scientific experiment. Globgums goes berserk; he starts screaming accusations of Lupin being a witch! He demands that she be put to the drowning test. And then, just like that, they drop the subject. (All this insanity in the first ten minutes!!! Is it any wonder these adventures take so long???) Egnarts does a perception check to see where the leathery flapping sounds are coming from. Looking skyward, an arrow narrowly misses his head.
Traveling further North, The Heroes pass through a sparsely populated, run down village that seems to be filled with items from the future. They encounter HORRIBLE ABE LINCOLN/CIVIL WAR PUN NUMBER 1: a group of polite fighters.* They next witness jailers HORRIBLE ABE LINCOLN/ CIVIL WAR PUN NUMBER 2: feeding soft cheese to forced laborers.** They next observe clerics HORRIBLE ABE LINCOLN/ CIVIL WAR PUN NUMBER 3: giving vaccines on a stage.*** Parked in the street is HORRIBLE ABE LINCOLN/CIVIL WAR PUN NUMBER 4: a limo that has traveled overseas.**** In a store window, they see HORRIBLE ABE LINCOLN/ CIVIL WAR PUN NUMBER 5: a screen and happy non PC computer.***** They next pass a store HORRIBLE ABE LINCOLN/ CIVIL WAR PUN NUMBER 6: bottling jams made of organized labor.****** And finally, they see someone running to HORRIBLE ABE LINCOLN/ CIVIL WAR PUN NUMBER 7: fetch an ice floe a women’s evening gown.*******
Searching the undead bodies for treasure, Lupin is surprised by a Rust Monster. Fearful of losing their weapons and armor, Lupin begins to hurl her throwing daggers while Enuf risks losing his armor by engaging in close combat with the corrosive beast. Enuf finishes the beast with minimal damage to his armor.
The Heroes destroy one Scarecrow, but are immobilized by the remaining Medusa’s gaze. Trapped, they try to use diplomacy to talk to her (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA). They discover her name is Ms. Gorgy and try to sweet talk her. However, their diplomacy fails and she cast her petrifying gaze upon each of them. The world seems to stand still for The Heroes as a chill begins to emanate from the very core of their being. Their limbs seem so very heavy as their flesh begins to petrify around them. In an instant, only stone effigies remain where The Heroes once stood and an unnatural silence permeates the forest. |
Do events seem to be even more haphazard and crazy then usual? Over the last few sessions, we added new rules.
- Whenever some one searches/loots for treasure, they roll a D4 and receive either a: 1. Potion; 2. Monster (This is where the Ocher Jelly and Rust Monster came from); 3. Gold; or 4. A random Drama Card.
- The PCs can then play a drama card on their turn to alter events. (This is where the three Orcs and the Chimera’s intervention at the end came from)
* Polite Fighters: polite = civil; fighters = warriors – Civil Warriors.
** Feeding soft cheese to forced laborers: soft cheese = bree; forced labor = slaves – Bree (free) the slaves.
*** Giving vaccines on stage: vaccine = shot; stage = theater – Shot at the theater.
**** Limo that has traveled overseas: limo = Lincoln; traveled overseas = continental – Lincoln Continental.
***** Screen and happy non PC computer: screen = monitor; happy non PC computer = merry mac – Monitor and Merrimack (first iron clad warships to battle)
****** Bottling jams made out of organized labor: bottling jams = preserving; organized labor = union – Preserving the Union
******* Fetch an ice floe a women’s evening gown: fetch = get; ice floe = iceberg; women’s evening gown = a dress – Get iceberg a dress (Gettysburg Address)
Each Player received a random Drama Card for solving a pun.
