Events:
--- Shogun Styx
- The team are in a megadungeon, every surface the shiny black of a computer screen. The next area loads, and past it they see a large boxy room with three exits, all with a different themed Styx head icon on the wall next to it. Choosing between Robot, Cowboy and Shogun Styx, they go for the Shogun.

- The corridor bends, loading as they go, and reveals a room with a pagoda in the middle and faux bamboo decorating the walls. The Shogun Styx sitting in the pagoda has shaky metaverse hands and no legs, and he's wearing a nice moleskin cloak.
- Celebus tries to mine the cyber-walls for bitcoin and reveals a fat mole creature made of polygons! It leaps at him and tries to bite, but misses and clips through the floor. A white light under the surface shows where it is.
- Everyone tries to kill the mole, baiting it out by smashing the floor, but it's an utter shambles until Swan manages to catch the wriggly creature and start to gut it with his wiggly knife.
- The no-longer-Extras run over to finish the job, but Didogenes bites down too hard on his stabby pen and it shatters, sending shards stabbing everywhere! At least the mole died in the pensplosion.

- Those hurt start cramming some clean meat stomachs into their own stomachs, while the Shogun Styx throws the moleskin cloak over to the party as a reward. They can't get close to him due to the mandatory 1.5m personal space boundary, so they leave him to his metaverse contemplations.
--- Hax
- They continue exploring through the cyberworld, coming to a room set up like a LAN party. Six Styxes with different glowing stuff on are gaming, but at the party's approach they stand up and merge into a super-Styx!
- Swan murders him with a crit and the gang continues on.

--- New Zone same as the Old Zone
- The gimmick of this dungeon is that once you've completed a few rooms, you move up the snakes and ladders map and arrive at a new themed zone!
- They land on another Styx cyber-zone though.

- This one looks just like Charles' uni flat, complete with discarded pizza box, half-drank cans of Monster, sticky xbox controllers, the works.
- The kitchen off the living room has loads of dirty plates in the sink, and a mysterious submarine-style hatch where the washing machine should be. They see that it's dripping water and choose not to meddle...
- Swan the Swift is eating absolutely any old shit he finds lying about. Inconsistently cut Dominoes pizza leftovers are utterly annihilated by his gnashing teeth.

- The bathroom is filthy, but there's an out-of-place fire pit in the shower that's being used to smoke some meats.
- Outside they hear a sound... a Styx has returned! It sounds like he's got mates, and they wanna game!

- There aren't any other ways out of the bathroom, so the party sheepishly emerges into the living room. The Styx in here is a gamer! And he's connected by shadowy tendrils to a whole lot of shadowy Styxes! They're his gamer buddies.
- While at first he's happy to play a competitive game on the Xbox to battle, he becomes enraged when the party suggest Mario Kart. Mario Kart is a Nintendo property, not Xbox! They're not true gamers!

- Battle is joined, and despite some initial poor descriptions making it sound like the shadowy Styxes can't be damaged, they absolutely can be!
- Swan accidentally stuns himself while Didogenes tears at the main gamer Styx, dealing a critical hit! Gamer Styx is forced to check morale, and Amanta has the ability to make a morale check fail once per session! Thoroughly pwned, Gamer Styx flees with his minions.

--- Shockingly Brutal Anime
- They continue on, out into the hall and on towards an elevator! It's definitely a boss battle elevator, the kind where the enemies jump down at you. There's a save point though, which Didogenes uses to re-summon the Extras! Back to full strength!
- The lift starts moving, the arbitrary knee-high barrier you're not allowed to jump over comes up, and the battle begins!
- Announcing themselves as The Valkyries, anime girls with ridiculous weapons show up! You've got your tsundere redhead with explosion fists, your oblivious-that-she's-attractive big-breasted blue haired girl with an extendo-spear, and of course a child with a massive bow who's 1000 years old so it's not creepy that she looks like a hot 12 year old.
- It's honestly not looking good for the party, these anime chicks are mad powerful. They take a lot of damage in the opening salvo, especially from lolicon girl's attack-back-if-missed bow attack.
- Celebus loses his trousers and underwear for some reason related to finding the 1000-year-old child attractive. This wasn't my doing, he said that himself unprompted.
- Swan kills the redhead... or so he thinks. In fact they use the Death Table to not die! Hurrah!
- It's absolute body horror as the poor girl has her bones snapped, guts gouged out, and is finally ripped to shreds by Didogenes in such a visceral explosion of gore that the two remaining Valkyries are stunned with the horror of it. Fuuuuuck.
- Amanta throws the child off the lift, where she presumably dies from the fall. Iskander knocks the blue-haired girl down to death tokens, where she starts to bleed to death before the blood-soaked Didogenes tears out her throat too. Unfortunately in her death throes she chucks the extendo-spear off the lift! Nightmare!

- Swan had been using the exploding fists, but realises since it's a Save-based area attack weapon it's better off in the hands of someone with much less BAB than him.
- Celebus raises the blue haired girl as a zombie. Such desecration.

--- Your Table is Right This Way
- With that, they roll the next zone... and land on this gimmick map's version of a snake! It turns out the lift was going down not up!
- They reach the bottom and see a blood trail leading off. The bow child survived... and it looks like she took the spear as well. Bollocks.
