Session 262 - Ghost Murderers

A combat-heavy session, and our heroes prevail! The strange complex is explored further, ghosts are killed, and big radioactive bees are chopped up like loaves of bread. What will Wormwood do with his new technology-possession powers? Only time will tell...

Session 262 - Ghost Murderers


Date:
April. 15 years after the End.

New Backstory:
- Beepbox joined the gypsies when they rolled into town, becoming the comic relief in their pantomimes. +1 to reaction rolls with gypsies, troupes and other itinerants.

Loot:
- 1500 space bucks in deeds and bonds (1500 exp)
- Useful cabinets (500 exp)
- Valuable hub caps (6000 exp)
Total: 8000 exp
Foes:
- 7 robot ghosts (525 exp)
- 6 radioactive bugs (300 exp)
Total: 825 exp


Events:


--- Shop Nigeria
- The party rest up at Shrub Nigeria’s shack, and discover that he can turn loot into items! How convenient! They’re planning to fight ghosts, so Red, Jeremy and Beepbox load up with silver weapons.

--- Ghostface Killas
- They return to the dungeon and head straight for the ghosts they ran from last week. On the way there they enter a room where the lights fizzle out! Beepbox uses his polaroid flash and a shotgun to murder the fuck out of the robot inside.
- They continue into the room with the cabinets and robot ghosts, this time ready to fight! Jeremy nukes one with a Magic Missile, and Red abuses her ghost-attracting invisibility glove to make them all attack her, slaying many!
- Wormwood fucks up a ghost, but in its death throes it explodes into energy and knocks him down!
- Ratman the Ratman has a terrible time of it, missing constantly then seeing the electric ghost possess his futuristic armour! Beepbox gets it out with some applied engineering nonsense and finishes it off. Ghosts defeated!
- Beepbox runs over to Wormwood and heals him. Wormwood reveals his true Inheritor form and absorbs the remains of one of the ghosts - giving him the ability to possess technology!
- They loot the room, finding deeds and bonds worth a fair number of space dollars and a book on the Halfling Empire.

--- Waste Pipe
- They explore further, finding a room with shelves stacked with robot heads, and soon a large chamber with glowing green ooze in a massive vat-pillar in the centre. There is a catwalk near the top of the room with lots of controls.
- Ratman chucks some rats into the goo to see what happens. Most explode, but one grows huge and veiny and tries to attack its former master! It dies easily, but the party is now wary of the goo.
- Beepbox jump-packs up to the catwalk and reads the old Dwarven runes. He reads one that says “dump waste” and, after everyone is safely up the ladder or outside the room, twists the key. Green ooze pours out of the pipe… and flying green shapes whizz out!
- Wormwood is taken out by a flying bug-thing in the first round, so Jeremy casts Draw Aggro through his bee familiar to attract them away! He sends it into Red’s armour, who engages her classic Parry technique!
- She slices the bugs to bits as Jeremy runs to help. Bugs defeated!
- Looting the room they find some shiny hubcaps, some mystery moon-shrooms, and a book called “Those Who Dwell Amongst the Stars”. Fitting!

--- Reading Club
- They head back with all their loot, satisfied, and return to Shrub Nigeria’s house. They spend a bit of time reading the books to find out some tasty lore.
- Jeremy reads that there are intelligent beings on Mars other than the Red Elves.
- Beepbox discovers that the Red Moon behind the real moon is the work of the Eld.
- Wormwood is saddened to discover that the Halfling Empire actually happened in world history.
