Events:
--- Monster Mash
- We open on the party entering a new area - a well-furnished but somewhat shabby zone evoking Sir Robyn, rich in plush velvet and wine stains.
- There's the sound of a party from behind a door, so of course they go to investigate! Inside are four satyrs dancing around a gently rotting banquet table, drinking cheap wine from a gold cup and generally having a good time!
- Given that this is a party made up of Didogenes the dog, Damien Demone the shape-shifting demon, Laddie the giant 8-foot-tall hooligan who tagged along from last session and Celebus the Necromancer covered in dried blood, dried wine, and mostly-dried faeces, the satyrs immediately assume that the party are fellow monsters and invite them to their beggar's banquet!

- It's time for a pub crawl around the dungeon!
- The next room is a large amphitheatre with ominous boss music. The satyrs tell the party not to worry, only PCs set off the boss. Onwards!
- The final room of the zone is... an off-license! Celebus buys armfuls of suspiciously high ABV beer with names in cyrillic. Didogenes takes the satyr's gold goblet with him into the bathroom and legs it! The rest of the party follow on after while the satyrs discuss splitting a bottle of vodka.

--- Mozzies
- The next area is a meaty Dharga zone! A huge brain pulses overhead on the ceiling of this large chamber, and big mosquito-looking monsters buzz around it.
- The mosquitoes attack, and it is revealed that these are sort of big insect bio-planes piloted by small insect pilots. They peel off into attack groups and whirr at the party!
- Didogenes is first up, power fists flaring with explosive power, and jumps right into the middle of the flock! His explosive pulse damages the drones, but he is now unfortunately right in the middle of the flock. They quickly suck out a bunch of his blood, taking him straight to death's door and causing his power-fists to slip off and clatter to the ground!

- Celebus sets his rope on fire and starts swinging it around his head to make a sort of anti-mosquito field and prevent them from attacking. It works!
- Dorian gambits into the swarm, grabs the fists, and throws them back to Didogenes! Unfortunately he fumbles throw and the fists hit the ground, exploding once again on Didogenes and the swarm!
- Laddie the giant lad sees all this and gets angry! With a loud OI OI OI he charges into the swarm! He wrestles a mosquito, while nearby Didogenes' blood gets drained from his arms.
- Laddie squashes a mosquito, but another two latch onto his back and suck him to death! Noooo!
- Damien grabs onto one of the buzzing bug-planes and flies it towards Didogenes, throwing all the insects off him!
- It's too late for the poor pup though, and with a last "very dead, much F, wow" he bleeds the last drops of his blood out onto the floor.

- Celebus runs in, twirling his fiery rope, and sees a playing card with a lion on it flapping around on the ground. What does it mean?? He grabs it and the lion ROARS! Filling him with LION STRENGTH! Celebus is now swole as fuck with 18 Strength! The fire shield becomes a fire tornado in his newly bulked up arms, and the remaining mosquitoplanes flee!
- Damien holds the dead doge and cries, wailing "he was a good boy". Then he turns into writhing demon clay and absorbs a mosquito, gaining the ability to suck blood!
--- Flat Gnomes
- They move on, sad at the loss of their doggy friend. Thankfully a new friend shows up almost immediately! She is Suspiria, a Magic User, and has designs on being some sort of illusionist. Her familiar is an entity made of smoke.

- The next room has pulsing red walls and a big mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, in the middle. The powerhouse-like mitochondria has a fanged mouth on it which tries to tempt Celebus by saying that it powers the cell. It doesn't work, so Celebus chucks a mosquito corpse at it to muffle the seductive voice of the cell's powerhouse.
- Suspiria goes into the next room first, pretty gung-ho for a first level wizard, and sees rubies glimmering in the middle of a large fleshy space. She also feels a hand on her ankle! She looks down, and a 2D gnome is reaching at her with a 3D hand!
- Celebus, very strong, lassos her and pulls her back, pulling the rest of the gnome with her! Damien stabs it mid-air, but more of its horrible little 2D friends scamper flatly across the fleshy floor.

- Damien stabs through the skin and into one of the 2D fellows, killing it. Nice!
- Celebus and Damien get papercuts from the long paper-thin halberds the little gnomes wield.
- These guys don't just hurt, they're horrible little guys. Suspiria tries casting Magic Missile and chaos bursts! Shit! But wait, what's this? The spell power gets MAXIMISED?? The enhanced spell blows a door off! She runs for it, and the little flat gnome guys run after her!
- After an exciting chase sequence where she doubles back twice and finally outruns the gnomes, the party meet back up in the gnome room. They eat lots of food to heal, safe for now, and Celebus raises a skeleton.
--- Soul Shackles
- The final room of the zone is a floor of rippling abs. The main thing of note is some magical shackles which the party immediately claim. They shackle the mind as well as the wrists, turning the victim into a mind-slave for a time. Kind of fucked up honestly.
- They leave through a meaty door and enter... a Styx cyber zone!
