Session 95 - I Live I Die I Live Again

So! Some things of note.

I have concocted five different fantasy analogs for 16th century Christianity.
Hopefully this makes religion a Fun Game Thing rather than something that doesn't really have any impact.

All characters have to have one (you can choose or roll, up to you).

The main deal is that each denomination gets a unique Cleric spell. The spell affects people differently depending on which denomination they belong to.
So like, the fantasy-Protestant spell inspires fantasy-Protestants and does extra bad stuff to fantasy-Catholics.

You can find the document here if you're interested.

You may want to take into account what the group's Cleric picks when he gets round to picking.
I think it's a toss-up between Catholic and Weirdo at the moment, since he worships the para-dimensional god spirit of his dead predecesor. We'll work it out at the table.

Another thing!

A long-ago previous player who was in fact the first ever casualty of the England campaign has gotten back in touch.
If anyone's interested in a Warhammer 40k RPG (I know Dominic's said as much at least), he's looking at starting something up on Wednesdays or Thursdays.
Let me know if you want in and I'll kick you over his deets.

Finally! Behold another beautiful death-art from Tom... although at least this time it seems death is not the end.

Exploration:

Total: 300 exp

Events:
- After resting up in relative security in the mushroom house, the party descends back into the lower dungeon level. (50 exp)
- They check out the next area - a pool filled with cave shrimp, a rock barricade covered with faeces-smeared rusty weapons. (50 exp)
- Voices are heard faintly from beyond barricade. Party gets in position then makes some noise. (50 exp)
- The first thing attracted unfortunately comes via the ceiling of the other exit - a violently purple slime which squirts mind-afflicting gunk. Jumurak begins hitting his own amoebae. (50 exp)
- Others turn to attack. Ceiling is an issue but Sophia ghost-blasts it off and Eleyn tears it to shreds with a well-aimed dual pistol attack (50 exp)
- Jumurak's pulled away via lasso and his amoebae finish the job, but the noise has attracted further danger. (50 exp)
- While there's a lull in the action, Sophia takes the opportunity to hook-pole a woman's body off the spiked barricade. On her finger - a silver ring engraved with the word "Aviva". (50 exp)
- From the same direction as the slime, a bunch of small golden men with deep voices approach. They attack with sharp golden spikes on their hands and vomit gold. (50 exp)
- Eleyn lines up a shot with her sniper musket, exhales slowly, squeezes the trigger... and is thrown backwards as the whole thing explodes. A vial of Nora's ashes, used as a wind indicator, shatters. Eleyn is distraught. (50 exp)
 - Turns out amoebae are actually really effective, along with . Little men are dying left and right. Zan pockets some of their golden vomit. (50 exp)
- Suddenly a gold woman with rope-burns and a nude gold men skydive from the ceiling, ripping with jagged gold claws as they do so, before vanishing into the ground like divers. (50 exp)

- People DIVEST GOLD. Zan chucks his into the water and sees the gold woman bob up to the underwater surface and eat it like a fish eating fishfood. (50 exp)

- Others chuck their gold into an amoeba. Jain claps to lay down a glyph of Transform-Magma on the floor and tosses on a gold coin. And waits... (50 exp)

- The gold lady swims up to eat the coin and the glyph is activated, turning the floor to magma around her. She screams and flails and dives and does not return. (50 exp)
- While the others lick collective wounds, Eleyn climbs the spiky barricade, cutting herself a few times, then sneaks out into the darkness beyond to find the source of voices. (50 exp)
- Following sounds rather than sight, she turns a corner to see some grey goblins near a fire chatting and shitting on sharp objects and building up a barricade facing the other direction (50 exp)
- She scouts in another direction, coming face to face with a little gold man. He is not pleased so she shoots him in the face - the flash of light revealing many more. (50 exp)
- They chase her out, where she comes face to face with the grey goblins who are investigating the ruckus. One of them opens their eyes wide and reveals the immensity of the void... but Eleyn rolls crits the save and somehow reflects it back (50 exp)
- The chase is on! ... Briefly. Eleyn slows to take potshots, killing several. She is soon overtaken and killed when a goblin rips off her whole fucking arm, spraying blood everywhere. (50 exp)
- The others don't arrive anywhere near in time... but they do take the opportunity to slay the goblins, loot Eleyn, and feed her corpse to the amoebae. (50 exp)
- Somewhere else, a naked woman falls out of a fleshy mass. She stumbles out of the pink light, trailing a hand along the water-slick walls and softly glowing coral, until she falls out next to a cart. (50 exp)
- The others, now well and truly Done With This Shit, retreat to the first floor and the mushroom hole. (50 exp)
- Heading back to the cart to pick up some more rations... they find a nude and pink-fleshed Eleyn lying there. With two new spindly arms growing out of her back. (50 exp)
