Session 268 - Let’s Split Up, Gang!

A multi-directional split-party competition for who can cause the most shenanigans leads to a standoff!



Session 268 - Let’s Split Up, Gang!
New Characters:
- Vermillion Vest, a Specialist allegedly doomed to die.

Loot:
- Valuable brooch (250 exp)
Total: 250 exp
Foes:
- Just loads of bean people (500 exp)
Total: 500 exp

Events:

--- Dining with Lucia
- The party turns up at Lucia’s factory at the appointed time, and are greeted by Lucia herself! She leads them inside to a well-appointed dinner party, everything served by little cocoa bean-headed guys.
- Beepbox feigns a toilet break as an excuse to sneak around the guest quarters, netting a valuable brooch and some fancy lady’s clothes. Others, making conversation, discover that the mysterious Red Moon behind the real moon is some sort of Red Elf blockade preventing Earthlings from going to space.
- The dessert is in another room, and they are led out and into a proper Willy Wonka chocolate river room! Vermillion gulps from the river and becomes addicted to chocolate! He bites at the head of a bean man and jumps into a boat on the river, Ratman jumps in in an attempt to save him!

--- No Way of Knowing
- The pair wash down with the chocolate river, hearing the dismayed shouts of Lucia behind them.
- They travel all the way along it using Vermillion Vest’s piloting prowess, but when they reach a bend there’s Lucia herself waiting for them, angrily firing her pistols!
- Luckily for them she shoots herself in the foot! Ratman lobs a couple of rats at her on the way past and Vermillion splashes some hot chocolate on her as they surge forward.
- They zip round another bend and soon find themselves about to run into some big paddle wheels! Oh no!
--- Beepbox and Jeremy’s Adventures in Sabotage
- Meanwhile, upstairs, the other three have just seen Lucia run off to deal with the boat thieves. Beepbox and Jeremy deal with the guards, while Red activates her invisibility cloak and scoots off down another hallway.
- Beepbox and Jeremy explore some more rooms, tipping bean-men into vats of boiling chocolate in the creamery, and blowing up some sort of dangerous machine in a room that flows with chocolate.
- After their sabotage they nearly get caught in a bean man ambush, but escape with yet more shenanigans leading to yet more deaths by boiling chocolate!
- They run out into the chocolate river room again… and find out that Lucia is there waiting for them, and she’s angry! Oh no!

--- Red Fucks Around and Finds Out
- Red, dashing off down strange passages, finds herself peeking into a room with a massive cocoa tree and a bean-man village. She checks a different door and sees a bunch of bean-men on a tread-powered wheel.
- She causes confusion with invisible pranks, then goes into the massive chamber with the big tree and starts shooting into the crowds of innocent beanos.
- Blowdart rains around her and some sort of bean shaman tries to ensnare her with Web, so she blasts out of the room and nips down the tread-mill hole to the chocolate river below, conveniently stopping the whirring machine just in time to save Vermillion and Ratman’s boat from certain destruction!
- They slip out onto the top of the chocolate waterfall in time to see the confrontation between Lucia, Beepbox and Jeremy Wizard below.
- Cliffhanger!
