- Amanta fell out forever with her husband - a male underground mantis. Naturally, she ate his head. It turns out somebody here is a long-lost friend - "wait... John?!" - up to you whether you've forgiven each other by now. One use.

Events:
--- In Pursuit of the Zombies
- In the massive bicep, surrounded by buff greased-up muscle men, the party discusses what to do about the Ravenous Zombies they previously accidentally unleashed.
- Iskander tries to lift the giant bone... and fails. He swears to everyone not to tell Swanny.
- The party head off into the giant right hand that thrusts up from the sweaty Meatland ground, climbs up the inside, and make their way across the tendon bridge into the giant left hand.

- The party head off into the giant right hand that thrusts up from the sweaty Meatland ground, climbs up the inside, and make their way across the tendon bridge into the giant left hand.
- They find a sort of defensive chamber that was obviously not enough to protect the massive-brained people of XANAX from the brain-seeking zombies. They grab some globes filled with a horrible substance that makes teeth grow over you, and a dead XANAX cultist with their brain scooped out.
- They go upwards, finding themselves between the huge fingers of the left hand. Strange sigils are tattooed onto the giant fingers, and a couple of XANAXes are up there trying to discern if there's a prophecy about these zombies on there.
- Iskander reads it and learns how to discern good meat forage from bad meat forage! Useful! Tinker Rat learns some music.
- They head down into the hand again and see some of the inside of the hand has been barricaded against zombies. No sign of said zombies though.
- Tinker-Rat peeks down a hole into the meat of the palm and nearly gets jumped! Quick thinking lets her evade, and Amanta chucks a tooth grenade down the hole! It hits the spaniard zombie, and teeth start boring into his skull and growing claw-like over his face.

- The Liber Quint zombie flees, jumping out of one of the hands' massive pores and sprinting off into the Meatlands. A last crossbow bolt gets her in the back, but she rolls and keeps going out of range!
--- The Lens Machine
- Ravenous Zombie away, the party check out the room they're in. There's a big meaty machine with a big bony box, and a place in between where one of the several types of lens formed from aqueous humour in a transparent skin.

- Experiments, naturally, ensue. It's all fun and games making diamonds double in size or spellbooks change colour until it is discovered that doing this makes the object unstable and eventually turn to sludge.
- Astro Moon suddenly realises that her spellbook, now a nice shade of blue, is on borrowed time. It's even getting squishy in her hands.
- They return to XANAX and are thanked profusely for saving them from the zombies! They are rewarded by being allowed to suckle from the horrible phallic milk-teats that grow from a cyst on the wall, and also given 100 precious iron rations that they'd been saving in case something happened to the teats.
- Everyone suckles on the teats in more and more overtly sexual ways, except for Amanta who just squeezes it into one of the bowls provided and drinks it from there. Nutritious, though!

--- To Salivasburger
- It's time to head on to the main city of the Meatlands, formerly Salisburgh and now naturally known as Salivasburger, its stone walls emerging from fatty deposits that look like they're trying to suck it down into the meat.
- It's an uneventful trip other than the smell of sweat pouring from the skin-ground. It's very hot, so the skin is slippery and sweaty.
- After a few hours they're at the gates of Salivasburger - a pair of massive gnashing teeth turned sideways, defending a long throat that leads through the wall and into the town proper. A mutated guard, looking from above, inspects the party and orders the gates opened to let them in.
--- A Mysterious Murder
- The city of Salivasburger, once walled by stone and packed with half-timbered buildings, is now packed also with meat, bone, and various bodily fluids. The gutters run with pale red liquid, repairs to buildings are completed with stretched-out skin canvases and lumps of cancerous meat, and the people are a motley crowd of mutated people and beasts.
- Somehow Iskander and Celebus are the weirdest people here. Nobody bats an eyelid at a giant mantis-woman or a fairy rat, but they give a wide berth to the unmutated strangers in their midst.
- They look around, somewhat overwhelmed, and hear a scream from down an alleyway! They see a shadowy hooded figure murder someone with a long dagger and give chase!
- The drool-slick cobbles slow their movements and the figure looks like it's going to escape... but suddenly its head falls off and rolls down the drain! Or did it scurry off on lots of horrible little legs?? The body falls to its knees... and starts sniffing around like a dog before noticing the party and running off on all fours.
- Tinker Rat flies down into the sewer to chase the head and meets several other rats down there. They explain that it's a fairly common type of creature around here, but they don't know much more. They offer Tinker Rat some unclean meat to be hospitable, and Tinker Rat partakes to be social.
- Tinker Rat's face slides off.
- She dies.

- She dies.
- Up in the alleyway the rest of the party is none the wiser and, after waiting around for half an hour, decide that Tinker Rat probably returned to her own kind. They exit the alleyway and head out into the city, while a mere half a metre beneath their feet Tinker Rat's body is devoured by her new friends.
--- Spellbooks and Sausages
- Astro Moon needs to get a new spellbook made... and fast! Hers is denaturing rapidly, and carrying it around really isn't helping. To that end she asks around until she finds a library, and as is tradition all libraries are curated by Necromancers.
- It transpires that nobody will take Obols here - that's fake demon money you see. Here all trade is done in clean meat - from thin slivers of prosciutto up to big haunches of salted meat when you really want to splash the cash.
- After some bad haggling, the Necromancers agree to copy Astro Moon's spellbook for her. Despite her protestations the party pay for the service out of their shared coffers. It'll take a few days, but that's better than having to start from scratch!
