Session 99 - Arise, Guido!

So the new retroactive backstory gimmick actually worked out really well! Pleased with that one. I'm still building up the actual in-game effects of the various things (slowly but surely) but just working out a new ability from the events of the story was pretty rad as it was.

You're past the goblin fortifications so I guess we'll see how things go next session. Should be good!
Our Art Attack this week comes from Charles who has depicted the TRIUMPANT BODY-CREATING OF GUIDO! Hurrah!

See you lot tonight!

New Backstory:- Zan once got revenge on one who mocked him for his flagelant ways by pushing a gargoyle on him from the top of his church. (+1 Int)
- Sophia still blames herself for the death of her younger brother (and in fact her whole family) after her dodgy bellringer ropework resulted in the church bell falling and killing them. (+1 Tinkering, perfect ropework)
- Cranky Jim obeyed a tyrant in the mines for personal gain, eventually emerging from the mines as a result. (Douchebags will generally trust you)
- Jumurak recklessly proved his bravery to the other thatchers by climbing the cathedral in his town and reaching a high-up gargoyle. (+1 Str)
- Lulu Spiderbite stole her father's prized sword when she was but a child. Her seconds-older twin sister ratted her out, but her father found her in the forest having slain a bear. Since then he has always favoured her over her sister. (+1 to hit when alone)

Events:

- Lulu returns! We discover that she is to be wed to Lord Krog in three months! April is a good time for weddings in the Frozen North. (50 exp)- POWERMAN meets Sophia who also has an electric body and is immediately besotted, naming her POWERLADY and pledging himself to her service. (50 exp)
- Meanwhile, the fates of those who were under attack from the harpy witch are discovered as they wake up in cages on the lower level. (50 exp)
- Zan draws a decay rune and begins decaying the metal of the top of the cage. Jim feigns unconsciousness. One of the grey goblins sees this and runs off to get help. (50 exp)
- Meanwhile, the uncaptured group get downstairs, shank the remaining guard, and head into the jail area that Jumurak had conveniently discovered the last time. (50 exp)
- Noticing the remains of a large creature beneath a central grate, the crew bring it out, line up its bones, and replace its skull with Guido's (50 exp)
- The insane inmates are killed for blood and bone, a pentagram is drawn, and Sophia finishes off the last guy with a savage electric kiss and breaths in his Last Breath... (50 exp)
- The spell is cast! The huge body clambers to its feet! While Sophia still has control of the body, Guido is stoked to not be crammed down into someone's backpack. (50 exp)
- The cages are broken open and the squad rejoin. Hurrah! They head off, huge skeleton in tow. (50 exp)
- Meeting a bunch of easily intimidated grey goblins, one of them offers to let the group through goblin territory in exchange for not murdering them all. Offer accepted! (50 exp)
- They are let past the barricade and the goblin goes back to his fellows. Success! (50 exp)
- Some big ovipositor-tongue goblinoids are found looting some bodies near a mysterious beam of light. Things put into the light glow brightly. (50 exp)
- The big guys seem fairly chill though and are befriended, allowing the party on through. (50 exp)
- In the next room there's a ton of rubble, but when searched a few halfling bodies are found. They had a few things on them, including a clearly magical shield. Score! (50 exp)
- Suddenly, slimes! The purple kind that mindfuck you! They are dispatched fairly swiftly, but it's nearly the end of the evening so the group backtrack to the big ovipositor guys and see if they can crash at their place. (50 exp)
- But what's this?! Anything touched by the odd light beam CRUMBLES after a while! The candy cane daggers used to test it are ok (phew!) but Guido's spine collapses in the middle where he walked through the beam, to his loud dismay! (50 exp)
- The big goblin guys seem pretty cool and let the group stay in their dirty cave corner. The group are relatively safe... for now... (50 exp)
Total: 850 exp
