- Explored 6 dungeons areas (120 exp)
- 3 secret doors discovered (150 exp)

Total: 370 exp

Events:
- After (presumably) waiting for Lulu to come back from moonlighting as Santa Claus, the party, including a couple of new additions, descends the ladder into the dungeon. (50 exp)
- The first thing they notice is the filth. The second thing is the largeish holes in the ceiling. The third thing is a sign that finishes with "I hate adventurers". Sounds like this place will be a laugh. (50 exp)
- The door is opened with Sophia's hook-on-a-pole with no ill effects. A sign saying "family crypt, please do not enter" is seen and automatic Tomb busters protocols turn on. (50 exp)
- Stabbington, eyes excited, pushes open the door and is punctured by several thin needles which turn his finger blue and a bit swollen. (50 exp)
- A mysterious lack of wall-holes partway down the corridor is investigated to find a secret door. Sick! It is avoided for now. (50 exp)
- The corridor ends in a door, blocked from the rear. An attempt to blast the thing open results in someone inside yelling in shock. (50 exp)
- While Jain continues attempts to blast through the door, Eleyn sets off down the secret corridor with part of the group. (50 exp)
- The stairs continue, ending in a door. To Eleyn's displeasure a bunch of green glop drops on her head and begins rapidly converting her and her equipment into more of itself (50 exp)
- Lulu attempts to attack the gunk but it begins eating at her magic sword. Fuck! Acting quickly, Sophia a ghost at the slime to blast it into the wall. I am happy that I can write that sentence. (50 exp)
- Eleyn opens the door quickly and darts out, trapping the slime behind it. (50 exp)
- Upstairs, Jain has been blasting Decay+Explosion at the door until a handspan-wide hole is blasted in the centre. The wizard inside somehow distrusts the people who have tried to batter their way in. (50 exp)
- Stabbington Shanks leans in to give him a Tomb Busters business card and ironically finds himself stabbed with shanks. They damage his armour a bunch but that's about it. (50 exp)
- OH ITS ON NOW say everyone up there, especially when the wizard starts casting a spell. (50 exp)
- Several people pull Stabbington's body out of the hole and Jain squirts some water through the hole via a water rune, then follows up with a beam of lightning. (50 exp)
- The shock fries one of the shankers inside and disrupts the Wizard's spell, a blast of uncontrolled energy surging into Jain with unknown consequences. (50 exp)
- Meanwhile the other group has tried ascending some nearby stairs. A section of wall blasts out and knocks them backwards down the stairs. Tee hee. (50 exp)
- Crawling on their bellies the group bypasses the springloaded wall and continues, eventually finding a T-intersection and turning into it. (50 exp)
- An untrapped door, once again opened via hook-pole, is opened. Inside is a stone statue of McIver on a wooden cart. (50 exp)
- There are not one but TWO chunks of green goop on the ceiling, causing all sorts of mischief. Luckily the gunk is scared of fire and nobody is actually digested. (50 exp)
- The statue was stannding on a spring-loaded trap door that springs up when the statue is removed by a dive tackle. The group descend... (50 exp)
- Back at the door, the fight goes poorly for those in the room. The dagger hand of one is caught in an alms bowl when NEW NECROMANCER NAME HERE pretends to cast a spell, and Jumurak comes in with a classic Summon Punch while he's distracted (50 exp)
- The magic travels through his body and expels itself behind him as a crystal demon, limbs full of eldritch machinery and mercifully under Jumurak's control. The wizard, attempting to climb the wall to escape getting shocked again, stands no chance and is dismembered. (50 exp)
- The crystal demon turns and eviscerates the last guy, absorbing pieces of him and absorbing them into its crystalline body. Its last act is to scrape the blockage from the door before collapsing into a single point in space. (50 exp)
- Inside the room, those guys' equipment... plus some amount of treasure that they found down here! (50 exp)
- The second group creeps along the tunnel and out into the paper-lined bottom of a pit. Embedded slightly into the paper are several yellow-clawed people lying stock still. (50 exp)
- Lulu goes to attack one but OH NO THEY ARE ALIVE which everyone already guessed. They attack but Eleyn and Nora smash the crap out of them with astonishingly effective SISTER COMBO ATTACKS. (50 exp)
- The spell written on the walls - "Perfectly Coiffured Hair". I wonder what it does. (50 exp)
- The first group after they've committed a triple homicide, they travel down the secret corridor and try another direction. After passing a bunch of statue-containing alcoves ANOTHER CLASSIC MONSTER. (50 exp)
- The gelatinous cube fumbles dramatically and accidentally pours the coins it's holding in its gloopy flesh into NECROMANCER NAME HERE's alms bowl. (50 exp)
- Many stabs later, the jelly cube blobs into a sludgy mess. With the party now split up, we end the session. (50 exp)Total: 1500 exp
