Session 44 - Dungeons and Big Geckos.

Mild apologies for shuffling you into the dungeon mid-session! I had prepped for a lot of city stuff but there was a true newbie around, and I feel a proper dungeon crawl is good for the soul.

I mean, I enjoy Fantasy Accounting Simulator and all, but it's more fun when you've got some of dat cash around.

So, we had some rumours of Fortress-City Fate bandied around. Many shops and pubs and such in the place. I promised information from the library but swiftly forgot, so remind me to give you some answers to your questions next session!

Following some browsing of specialty shops in the city despite prices being legit 5x higher this session, including some leather dog armour for Sir Barkington, the intrepid party was drawn to the entrance to the city's megadungeon.

Rushing water, great big paddle wheels pwoering mysterious machinery hidden in the walls, all sorts. Apparently hobos go down there if they can't pay Fate's ridiculous rents and taxes,

Mysteries of the depths below the City were, if not revealed, then hopefully hinted at.

Guano-carrying rat men were befriended but not trusted, a one-way door was held open with a stone, and Sir Barkington was kicked into a room where he was eaten by what everyone thought was a dragon.

An inglorious end for such a glorious mutt.

For Renzo - your "condition" is getting worse and much more obvious. You have maybe a week at most until the worst happens.

You have also finally levelled up! Big level 5. That's a new high score! You gain access to mighty Level 3 spells. Let's hope you have time to enjoy it!

For Rita - this is all I know about your Elf's species so far -

Sloomit Waghorn: 

Conspiratorial manipulative lurkers in alcoves. Hidden in the Bounder-Keeps of the imperium's tattered brink are the fey and crump-horned scholars of the dead years. They keep chronicles kept in dusty archives in which are remembered the aeons of the Earth's dark prime and dynasties beyond. They seek runestones and ogham-staves and other archaic inscriptions.

I'll basically just make up more stuff as you get more powerful. Expect crazy language-based powers and abilities.

See you all next week!
