A short session due to various barbeque distractions, but that's not such a bad thing!
Now you've got an in with the beautiful Lucia di Castille, space chocolate magnate, and seen the strange effects that these experimental sweets can have on a body.
After the game we talked a bit about Gambits and how Red has successfully cheesed the system into a "do whatever I like" button, so here's the prospective Gambit 2.0 upgrade -
Gambits
When you want to do some flashy shit that's not just a regular attack, it's a Gambit!
- You roll 1d20 + attack bonus
- They roll 1d20 + attack bonus
If you beat their roll AND roll over their current HP, it works!
If you beat their roll OR roll over their current HP, it's a partial success or success at cost.
If you do neither, it's an ironic reversal!

Events:
--- What a Gas!
- Standing before the piano-lock door on the Chocolate Factory’s top floor, Jeremy Wizard peers inside to see the various bedroomy stuff within. Most thrillingly there is a lockbox that presumably contains loot!
- He smashes the small window on the door and a gas pours out! He feels a little light-headed, but the power of the Headtrip 56 strain of astroturf helps him pass a dangerous save.
- He casts Flesh Goop on himself and is poured through the door by the others, immediately schlooping over to the lockbox and trying to unlock it in goo form. He fails, and there’s a hissing sound from inside the safe.
- Outside, the rest of the party is playing random music on the piano key lock. Enough failures and it releases another gas, this one staining Red’s lips with glowing red sugar dust even when invisible!
- Inside, Jeremy Wizard reforms out of the glop and searches the place. He finds a bunch of books on an end table, and discovering that the piano lock is on both sides decides to just break the window and rappel out with a rope.
- Scarlet Eclipse casts his newish Escape Rope spell and the rest of the party reappears at the dungeon entrance. Useful!
--- Escape the Base
- All is not well though, the guard towers are still standing and bristling with sugared-up guards! The friendly guard calls out to the party to run, while other guardsmen come after!
- Red’s rock candy disease has spread to cover her whole body and armour, but luckily it gets broken off temporarily on hit. She makes short work of the guards on the ground, while Ratman and Jeremy Wizard try to get into the last guy’s tower.
- Suddenly the one friendly guard runs past! He yells something about all human guards being ordered killed, just as the guard house blows up! What the hell?
- Ratman scrambles up the guard tower and blows a rat at the final guard, killing him.
--- Dinner Plans
- With all the distractions gone, they decide to poke their heads into the factory again and have a nose around. As luck would have it they run into the factory owner herself, Lucia de Castille, who’s trying to work out what’s causing all this chaos!
- The party feigns ignorance and Red manages to get a dinner date lined up for next week, also discovering that Sir Robyn once hit on Lucia and was turned into a blueberry and juiced to death as a result. Tasty.
- They leave her in peace until then, taking some free samples of the chocolate back to Shrub Nigeria (banned from the factory due to lewd advances) who gives them some edibles in return.
- Next week, a dinner party! And when has one of those ever gone wrong in this game?
