Session 72 - Deja Two

Good work guys! A fairly bloodless little delve in the end, notwithstanding the death of the last henchman from last time.

I quite like this book-that-lets-you-play-through-the-dungeon-in-the-past gimmick, I might use it again some time!

Events:

- Zea, Stabbington and Jumurak make their way to a small village away from the doom fortress to heal up, meanwhile Lulu (with Zea's Blessing) decides to climb the sheer mountain face to bypass the fortress and go directly to the cabin. (50 exp)

- The main gang decide to check out the Curiosity Shop in the village and meet Gifflewim, the shopkeeper. A cheeky mind-control later and he tells everyone all about how he's an Elf, will totally trade knickknacks for other knickknacks (50 exp)

- Party travels (with Gifflewim) to Lulu's position, discover she got climbing ropes about halfway up before having to come back down to the ground. Zea casts Remove Curse on Lulu, counteracting the effects of the Red Rapier

- Using crampons and the ropes Lulu put up, Stabbington makes it to the top. (50 exp)

- Up above the group digs into the unmarked grave specified in the book and find great treasures, but decide to come and grab them later after invading the dungeon under the cabin. (50 exp)

- A skeleton with no arms and a scroll in its ribcage tries to jog past from the cabin to the castle, is stopped and de-legged and carried around like C-3P0 in Cloud City, and the mysterious message is read out. (50 exp)

- A hidden grate specified in the book is filled with a goopy substance. An explosive potion (courtesy of Gifflewim) is dropped in and the ooze recedes. (50 exp)

- Lulu and the rest of the party descend via rope into the room with the pit, find the ooze monster singing to itself in the doorway and leading down the hole. It is ignored. (50 exp)

- Reading that the other door only opens when a sacrifice is made, they trick Token the archer into reading a passage from the book. He does so, and Lulu is possessed into kicking him down the hole, as intended. The door opens. (50 exp)

- Exploring past the door, the group check out the room where the knife-wielding murderer guy once was. Inside, a sarcophagus with a human skeleton in it wearing a grimacing mask. Lulu puts on the mask and discovers it allows her to see the undead as who they were in life. (50 exp)

- She also checks the overhang where the masked murderer once dropped down and discovers two meat hook knives. (50 exp)

- Mollified by the lack of murderer, the group checks out the room where the fat ghouls once resided. Other than some empty sarcophagi and some graspers attached to chain on the ceiling, the room is empty. (50 exp)

- A further room, not specified in the book, is explored and three large canopic jars found. One, once inspected, contains a bunch of old coins... then a strange hand-headed snake drops on Stabbington's shoulders and sends him mad. (50 exp)

- Stabbington carves his dog into bits, those who want to help him are also affected by the palm-eye of the snake and several also go insane. Jumurak begins rolling around in the shards of the canopic jar while Joe Joe starts shooting and Gifflewim begins casting a spell (50 exp)

- Two more hand-eye-snakes drop from the ceiling mid-fight, turning Stabbington blind as the madness wears off. One of the others is sliced to absolute shit by Lulu ("Hands off my friends"), and Gifflewim takes his opportunity to leg it when the mindcontrol is released. Joe Joe tries to shoot him but Gifflewim's spell gave him immunity to normal weapons. (50 exp)

- Lulu pursues... slowly. She gets to the grate to the surface in time to see GIfflewim near the top of the rope. Luckily a mad soothsayer once prophesied to Lulu that a rope would snap as music plays, and that prophesy came true amid the singing of the slime. Gifflewim falls, I pout. (50 exp)

- Gifflewim begs for his life, says he's got no hard feelings, gives party a bunch of cool stuff and the key to his shop in exchange for his freedom. (50 exp)

- The party descend back down the mountain, grabbing the buried treasure as they do so. (50 exp)
