Events:
--- Maggot Man
- In a hidden chamber within a Necromantic dungeon at the end of a box canyon, our heroes face a man on a slab covered in maggots who shrieks that he is becoming immortal. Hooded cultists with wiggly daggers stand behind in the gloom.
- He is Dargle, one of the Triumverate of Evil Necromancers! Mancy, Hidra's enthralled yet recalcitrant minion, is also part of said Triumverate. He is very much least among equals though.
- Dargle monologues about the process, how the maggots are feeding on his flesh and replacing it with immortal flesh far superior!
- Ghost Snels chucks a holy symbol at the maggots, which burns them! He calls forth the miracle of See No Evil, becoming invisible and intangible to Chaos and vice versa, then pours Oil of Brutal Noise all over the maggits.
- Sulphur commands his skeletons to crush maggots while the rest of the party make as much noise as possible! The skeletons starts getting covered in fleshy silk. He punches a cultist and, though he misses, discovers that these cultists are actually skeletons with skin stretched over them!
- Hidra's intelligent armour, Castigate Pox, gets battered as Hidra crits his way down the line of cult-skellies. Castigate immediately starts screaming for repairs!
- The human form of Dargle finally explodes from brutal noise, splashing maggots everywhere! Mancy starts eating maggots, to Hidra's bemusement.
--- Two-in-One Necromancer
- It transpires that eating the maggots means that Mancy and Dargle are now one! Or Dargle is haunting Mancy? Hard to say. They discuss consuming Balagos to become the Triumverate in One Body.
- The party leave to explore further, and on the way Ghost Snels gets a big download about the Necromancers of Un'Goth and their Necromantic philosophy.
- Un'Goth, a preppy, young and outgoing Necromancer wanted to delve deep into the Earth, kill Shub-Niggurath, and turn the dead beast in the core of the earth to their will. Their rival faction was led by Cyrus Carnithrex Maximus, whose plan for Shub-Niggurath was basically to raise an army of vampires and undead and a skeletal Apocalypse Dragon to fight it to death.

--- Cinematic Budget Cuts
- They head down some spooky stairs, seeing tracks on the ceiling left by ghost-eating hyenas and choosing not to follow, before coming to a door with ghoul claws on it.
- They open it up, see the ghouls within turn to them with a baleful gaze, and let Sulphur's army of 30 skeletons go in there before shutting the door.
- Bangs, crashes, things bouncing off the door, and finally... a ring-ring-ring of a metal plate rolling on its rim before clattering into silence. They open the door, and lo! The fight was resolved off-screen!

--- The Black Blade
- They enter and discover the ghouls were in berths on the walls, like a pod hotel. They had been holding an academic debate until the skeletons busted in!
- There is a terrible smell as the two survivors, Ghasts, rise. They are however quite willing to chat.
- Ghost Snels isn't pissing about with that. Under the effects of a borrowed miracle he rushes forward and grabs the Black Blade of the Dardanelles from where it sits on display at the far side of the room!
- The Blade snicker-snacks between the ghasts, vanishing them across the nearest border! This is the true power of the Black Blade that felled Constantinople!
- With the Ghasts deported, he hands the blade to Hidra and the party loots the room. They find gold, magic items, books, all sorts!
--- Dinner, Merely Fine
- With that they decide to have dinner. Unfortunately they don't have much.
- The resulting meal of bootleather and seaweed is saved by the garnish, in all honesty. Not great, not terrible. The call it A Bad Days' Catch.
