An important thing -
Last session we got up to a mighty TEN PEOPLE which was sort of ok, but makes it hard for everyone to get a chance to do things.
And so I hereby instate a soft cap on numbers - we won't take any new players on board for a while. Congrats to those people who showed up in the last few weeks! You're in!
Splitting things into two teams helped I think, we'll do that next time if it happens again.
Also if you die in the game you can't play any more.

(Just kidding)
We were also talking about changing venue. We've got a big bench of regulars and we do take up a lot of space, so that would give someone else (god willing) a place to run a game of their own.
Aaaand probably cheaper food and drink.
Next week we'll be in the Mad Hatter as usual (and likely will be for a little while yet) but I'll supply more news as it happens.
Venue recommendations appreciated!
Session 94 - Guts and Goblins
Campaign Date:
Treasure and Equipment:
- A wax-sealed pouch that would be found to contain a bunch of gold and a lot of silver, were it opened (12879 exp)
Events:
- The party, somewhat bolstered by new arrivals from the self-closing entrance, are talking to the tall draugar guy. He lets them go as long as they can find something for him to torture. (50 exp)
- They back out and attempt another door via hook pole. Good thing too, since it had a meaty poison needle in it. (50 exp)
- Before they can really look inside, a voice saying "GOLD" faster and faster approaches from the rear. It's a golden skinned woman with a real big mouth., and I don't mean she's talkative. (50 exp)
- She eats a coin thrown at her feet, then attacks. Stabbington discovers his christmas ice sword is now tinsel and leads an attempt to wrestle her into submission. The group gets a rope around her. Hurrah! (50 exp)
- The woman is brought to the draugar guy who seems shit scared of her. She's chucked into the fire but disappears into the ground like it's not even there.
After some banter the draugar agrees to follow the party to find torture victims. (50 exp)
- Rat LeBlanc gets a rat friend (the first of many) to scout out the nearby corridors. He says he likes one direction and doesn't reappear from the other. Easy choice. (50 exp)
- Stabbington, leading the party, comes across a pile of dead mushroom people and is leapt upon by a big fucking flea. He kills it easy. (50 exp)
- Rat LeBlanc climbs the pile to scout ahead and is beset by more giant fleas. He scrambles up the wall to escape them. (50 exp)
- The tight corridor and big pile of mushrooms make saving the poor ratman a bit difficult, but Jumurak ascends via MUSCLE and Stabbington gamely trudges forward through the shroom pile. (50 exp)
- Calen climbs rapidly and attempts a SUPER ULTIMATE JUMP ATTACK, fumbles badly, and nearly decapitates himself with his swords. Good ol' fumble table. (50 exp)
- The fleas are finished off, but not before LeBlanc's leg is significantly drained of blood. With a little healing he begins limping gamely onwards. (50 exp)
- Oh yea and Stabbington somehow manages to ACTUALLY SUCCESSFULLY FIRST AID SOMEONE. He stems Calen's bleeding. Like, actually. (50 exp)
- The party spread out in the next area. Calen, pole in hand, approaches the nearby metal door and begins turning the big submarine-style locking wheel. (50 exp)
- He sees the spider above him just in time to unsheathe his swords, but dies frothing from the mouth as it sinks its fangs deep into his face. (50 exp)
- The spider is finished off by Eleyn's dual pistols, damaged as it is from a previous encounter. The first time Eleyn's pistols have actually worked! (50 exp)

- Movement across the room! The party splits up. Cool fireteam names are abandoned in favour of Team Charizard and Team Blastoise. (50 exp)
- Team Charizard follows the movement, seeing whatever's in the dark scurrying backwards. They find it scared and pressed against another door, a badly dressed goblin called Mivik. (50 exp)
- Questioned under duress by Bamuk, he reveals he's come up here to escape his people and furnishes some dungeon info. The team keep him as a mascot, saying they'll protect him. (50 exp)- Somewhere else, a naked Halfling falls out of a fleshy mass. He goes insane almost immediately. (50 exp)
- Meanwhile Team Blastoise have descended the stairs and climbed down handholds that lead into a big wrinkly cave. Eleyn vanishes into the shadows while Rat LeBlanc is assailed by arrows, taking heavy damage. Again. (50 exp)
