New Character:
- Andreas (?), Divinity's pot plant that has somehow gained sentience as a Brackling, also survived the poison as a Punishment Glutton in New Moondin. Clash in backstory explained by unreliable narrator.
New Backstory:
- Divinity got in a fight with their potted plant, despite their friend trying to stop them. Once ever, an unidentified NPC here is your long-lost friend! Your choice if you've forgiven each other or not.
- Hagen, despite having been entored by Vampdromeda, is no true vampire. Instead he is a poorly built dwarven Stone Son! He was cast out because he does not have the right kind of blood. On death, summon That Which Should Not Be.
Events:
--- DM Doom
- The DM forgets his keys at work and has to cycle back to get them.

- My Bowels!
- Brogi is in pain. His bowels are extremely tight. This gut-based venereal disease an only be solved by grabbing some olive slime and bringing it to the chirurgeon.
- Ancient maps are revealed - Carter has an accurate map tracing the way from the elevator to the mountain's launch pad!
- They go up to level zero and discover the remnants of the angels. More importantly they see a load of weird plants. It's fine though, so they continue on.
- After several turns, a smell of olives! Could this be the olive slime?
- They open the door, see olive slime on floor, and oh no little spores. Brogi is playing his sphincter like a very small trumpet and good god do these mushroom men love the smell.
- Mushroom guys seem friendly yet attack - alas!
- Brogi gets mycelial tendrils all across his body but very specifically they do not penetrate him. It's not that kind of game.

- It transpires that killing mushroom men causes them to slowly respawn in the mycelium. Fine.
- During the combat, Aximander fireballs the fuck out of the mushroom men then takes a big glob of olive gunk and retreats.
- Brogi, set alight by Aximander's pyroclastic attack, decides to run in and kill the last mushroom man. It works! Alas, his skin burns off.

--- Please Give Me Skin
- Olive slime in hand, the crew return to the safety of the first level. The chirurgeon says he can salve the butt stuff, but can't replace skin. Again, alas.
- Luckily Jonathon Toast (a normal guy) is here! He picks up Brogi in one massive hand and conveys him to the medical level. Brogi is to have his skin replaced. In the mean time, a plant occurs.

--- Return to the Lower Floor
- The goal remains the same - go deep, find a god, launch it into orbit.
- They take the recently cleared lift. Divinity, beset by a bit of fungal infection, smites it out of her system.
- They exit the lift onto the fourth floor, as low as they can go, and explore.
- Behind a door they find a room with four pillars - two white and two black. Messing with them they discover that they can make blinding white ambient light, pitch blackness, and a strobe. The next room, when lit properly, has a whole list of Roman Emperor names ending at Theodosius. Interesting? Perhaps.
- They all meet a trustworthy plant who collapses out of a terrarium. It's Divinity's pot plant given shape and form and mind! Somehow!

--- Dead Emperor
- They continue down the long corridor and try another door. Behind this is a purple-robed and purple-skinned man on an altar. Other rooms branch forth.
- The figure arises! He speaks Latin! Luckily at least two people were public schooled enough to know Latin, Hagan among them! Hagan speaks to him... and is told that his God the Old Miner is a BEAST who created the Dwarves! Hagan is pissed off and attacks!
- The purple man declares himself to be Velusian and his visage is fearsome! Fearsome enough that several people flee the room! He than moves to strangulate those who remain!

- Worse, he summons zombie legionnaires! They stride out of a side room, hands reaching for necks!
- It transpires that Velusian is immune to mundane weapons, and battle is joined!

- Sydney blasts their Sudden Siege Engine spell down the line of zombie legionaries and kills almost all of them! Velusian attacks with vengeance in his eyes. Alas, Sydney cannot cast spells while being choked by a purple mummy.
- Combat continues. There is GOOD LOOT in the attached chamber, but it is also guarded by further bastards.
- We break for time. The pub is closing. Next time we shall discover whether anyone survives.
