Session 357 - I'm-a Riiiiiiiiich!

Date: 10 October

Moon: Waning Crescent
Zenith: Eris


New Backstory:
- Shrub Jr was completely lost after a good night getting high on the moon. Eventually he managed to find his way to a chocolate factory and safety! +1 Bushcraft.



Events:

--- Afterparty
- Sydney wakes up on their bed in their extradimensional apartment, still sore from the pain poison that was injected into them by huge maggots with tentacle faces.
- They leave the room and see that the flat is... surprisingly fine! But why is everyone staring? Oh... they shaved of an eyebrow.
- Deletion Snels has long dangly fingers now - the gene-code that he absorbed from the tentacle maggots now allows him to slap enemies with poisonous wiggling!
- Aximander heads outside and casts Guiding Lights again, trying for "awe of finding a new living god" or similar. The lights float on!

--- Oil and Statues
- The lights drift onwards. The walls here are covered with reliefs of gambling, coins, and feats of daring. All honouring The Lady.
- They decide to check out a side room, and in it they find smashed and empty barrels with a thin oily residue. Shrub Jr grabs a shard and sucks on it - olive oil! He continues to suck on it as a treat.
- The next room has... olive oil in little jars! And a flitch of cured bacon! Shrub Jr insists that he prefers sucking olive oil off of wood scraps.
- They continue into a larger room with a headless statue. It's got the armour of a god they know - The Scorned. On neck is a sort of indented screw where a head might get screwed on!
- Odo attaches the stone Dwarf troubleshooting head and it animates against its will! It identifies its existence as a problem! Before it can do anything silly, Shrub Jr unscrews the head. In doing so, he notices that the statue is designed such that its costume can change. Probably god related.

--- The Chicken and the Crevasse
- The lights guide the party to a door, beyond which can be heard a low moaning. They open the door and see a crevasse, wind moaning as it blows out of the maw. The crevasse is filled with purple smoke. It smells like ozone.
- The Guiding Lights hover over the crevasse and wink out - clearly they considered this an appropriate target of "awe".
- Testing reveals that the purple smoke suspends magic when inhaled or moved through. Aximander tests the depth with his crab-spear to no avail - it's deeper than a spear-length.
- They tie a rope to Aximander and lower him into the mist. They hear screams! It's Julian, the human host of Aximander, unceremoniously dragged back to his body while inside the mist! He has no idea what's going on!
- Aximander reverts back into the body as he's lowered beyond the mist. He finds himself above a vast subterranean pool of pitch black starry liquid. He pokes his crab-spear into it... and the end of the spear melts away. Then he sees movement in the fluid, something large displacing the ooze as it comes towards him...
- He shrieks "pull me up!" and Julian glimpses a vast lamprey-mouth yawning wide just before he's pulled into the smoke!

--- The Floor is Mimic
- They decide to cross the chasm, and so to that end Aximander casts his spell Giant Cock. The large rooster that appears obeys his commands, and effortlessly leaps over the gap with the elf on his back and a rope in his beak.
- The others shimmy across the rope and to the other side!
- As soon as they do... a slimy tendril emerges from below the ankle-high smoke on the floor...
- It goes for... Warm-Heart! Grumblebelch's Dwarven lackey! The crossbow is struck from his hands, melting away into nothing, and the Dwarf himself is flung down into the chasm! He screams as he falls, until they hear a crunchy sound that sounds exactly like a giant lamprey swallowing a Dwarf.
- Shrub Jr and Jojo uncork their Poison bottles - Bleed and Pain respectively - and dump them onto the pliant flesh of the ooze, then flee! The gang run after them, Jojo and Deletion Snels bickering about how fast they are based on what they're carrying. Jojo aggressively crams food into her mouth as she runs to save encumbrance.
- They escape!

--- I'm-a Riiiiiich!
- They burst into a room with a biiiig holy altar covered in gold and gems!
- Shrub Jr yells "I'm-a riiiiiiiiiiiiich!" and grabs the gems... and explodes!
- He takes 10d6 explosive holy damage and turns into a big pile of 21 fried bananas.

--- It Burns!
- Unfortunately for the many Chaotic characters in the midst, the air burns with lawful energies! Aximander uses elf trickery to count as Neutral. Grumblebelch's barbarian Lawfulness leaves her as the only person who actually feels a sense of peace in here.
- Odo places her Last Sword of a Conquered Tribe on the altar... scraping off little chunks of banana to do so... and feels her faith in Law renewed. She asks the Scorned for guidance and receives his blessing!
- She also grabs a roman shield from a statue and notices that the Dead God in the frieze on the wall can move aside. A secret door!
- Aximander casts Magic Aura on the chaotic members of the team, hiding them from the effects of this room, and they all head through the door.

--- Zombie King
- It's a short secret passage, ending in a painting with the eye holes cut out. The next room has a huge zombie on a throne, crown of bone on his head, roman armour on his body, being worshipped by a bunch of lesser zombies.
- Slopping down from the ceiling in the secret passage is... a new character! Grog Greedy, an Inheritor, who loots Shrub Jr's body and absorbs some of his banana powers. Seems like a trustworthy demon guy!
- Odo Grumblebelch, holding her roman shield in front of her, marches into the zombie room and declares herself part of the legion! Good thing she knows her classics, because the zombie king answers her in latin!
- It isn't the Dead God as Odo had presumed, but a Roman soldier who invaded Dwimmermount millenia ago. He was once a slave to the Halflings, then freed and joined the legions, before dying in the assault on the mountain. By the grace of the Nine, he was resurrected to maintain the worship of the Gods on this temple level.
- He offers directions downwards, being a reasonable fellow. He cannot go himself however - he can only leave on Sundays and every day is Tuesday for some reason.
- He also explains what he knows about Azoth, which accumulates in Dwimmermount. It saps magical energy in a gaseous form, accelerates evolution in liquid form, and can be refined into a variety of amazing things! Refined Azoth powered the Halfling superweapons - the Slaughtergrids - in centuries long past.
- He also warns them not to touch his precious treasures in the next room - he needs them for worship purposes - and warns of his pet wight which drains levels at a touch! Our heroes quake in fear.

--- Treasure!
- They go into the next room... and Odo uses her pick to spike the door shut! Within are four more zombies, guarding various coffers with a profile of Emperor Hadrian drawn on!
- The Zombie King next door can speak through these zombie puppets, but not much else. They are swiftly eliminated.
- Deletion Snels uses his finglonger powers to pick a lock, while the others are variously broken open. Inside is... much loot! Like legitimately good stuff! There's gems, old roman money, a crystal snowglobe with Dwimmermount in it. Nice stuff!

--- The Wight Stuff
- Knowing that there's a wight ahead, they make a cunning plan. New character Grogg Greedy will act as bait. Odo opens the door with her fishing rod.
- But... no wight.
- Odo sprints through while she's got the chance! She sprints through... and Grogg sees a textureless man-shape emerge spookily from the floor. It looks at Odo briefly... then comes straight for Grogg!
- He runs back to the rest of the party, wight at his heels!
- It travels through the floor, listening to the orders from the zombie head! Jojo goes to stomp the head... and the wight goes for her foot! She sacrifices her shield and flips backward... directly into Aximander's line of fire!
- She's hit, rolls, lands well, and strikes a counter-blow to the wight! It explodes into dust, one-shot-killed by a Magic Missile Punch!
- Grogg collapses into goo over the wight's "corpse", absorbing its level-draining power...

--- Odo's Solo Adventure
- Meanwhile, Odo has sprinted for the exit and grabbed some loose gems on the way! She's found the stairs down and runs for them and...
- A statue to the right of the stairway smashes her with a stone fist, stopping the Dwarf short! Odo's shield is splintered by the blow!
- It's a slugfest, Dwarf vs Statue. They smash each other back and forth with hammer-blows.
- Odo hits 0 and flies into a rage! She hits the statue over and over and over, finally shattering it into a million pieces.
- By the time the others catch up, Odo is bleeding and smiling crazily. She just about manages to snap out of her rage and grabs the old coins in the urn next to the stairs.
- Next time... downwards!

Session 356 - Green Men of Dwimmermount

Date: 3 October

Moon: Waning Gibbous
Zenith: The Dead God


New Backstory:
- Julian shouldn't have kissed Aximander on that one drunken night... but he did it anyway! Making out with the other guy who lives in your body means they both made the first move! 
Special Double! Once per session, cause someone to make a romantic advance on you and +1 HD of health for the rest of the session if you successfully romance someone!


Events:

--- Mountain Shenanigans
- Our heroes are schlepping it up the outside slope of Dwimmermount, the legendary mountain where the Ninth God, Eris, is said to be buried. The enormous Seraphim on the summit is long gone, though the scars remain.
- Odo goes on and on about Dwarven microarchitecture, straining the patience of the others. Sydney has found ancient maps of the dungeon (as in Carter dug up the old maps from irl years ago).
- About halfway up they pass by a red door in the mountainside. 
Sydney figures that this must be the legendary Dwarven back door! It is not, but they try anyway. Speaking "mellon" causes a watermelon to appear! Speaking "friend" causes... Shrub Jr to appear! Yes, after all those months away he has finally returned! Since it's past summer our favourite banana man has lost his fruits, and is now a tangle of branches with autumnal colours.
- The runes on the door are written in the language of Ur-Kalladh, which several people can read! It's called the Alchemist's Door, and only opens on rare conjunctions.
- Undeterred by such things, Jojo punches the side of the mountain and uses Passwall! Alas, it's a portal, and so there's nothing behind that door. They continue.

--- Green Men
- The red double doors up top are covered with layers of oiled tarpaulins. Dropped frazzlejack and bootprints indicate squatters! They enter, setting off an alarm trap - a huge crash of metal as they slip past the tarps.
- Behind the tarps, hung near the entrance, they find breather masks and travel gear. Several masks are snagged!
- They go down the stairs inside. At the bottom, alerted by the crashing sound, is a bright green human man! He remarks that Odo is clearly wearing his gas mask, but doesn't seem to concerned.
- After a bit of banter, the man calls for his friends who emerge with net shields and padded spears. They're friendly! They offer to show the party the way down deeper. There are two routes, one that they don't use because it's where the gene wizard created their poison-resistant forms before going mad. The other goes down to the chapel level.
- On the way they go past a sermon. Most of the congregation aren't green, and the people giving the sermon are very wide Dwarves - or rather, stone-wrought almost-Dwarves called Inclusions - who have clearly integrated bits of angel into themselves! They say they're advancing their minds to the point that they'll become new Gods. Good luck I guess!
- They say that the lift is off limits due to an outbreak of horrible plants with horrible pollen. Since they are made of stone the Inclusions are fine. Anybody else, death and mind control. If you can get down to the bottom of the lift fourth floor and activate the purging system you'll be able to use the lift again.
- The party swap books with the Inclusions and continue on via a room with what look like old magical videos showing the invasion of Dwimmermount by victorious Romans a couple of millenia ago.

--- Terminators
- Down the stairs there are... roboskeletons! Their joints are hissing machinery, and their limbs contain various repair tools!
- The party charges in, slaying all but one of the skeletons... and who should that skeleton be but a Snels! This is Deletion Snels, the version of Snels that corrupted a false world in the mainframe of Fortress-City Fate, subjected it to the Third Impact, and escaped in a glitched body! He's an Inheritor, but one that uses computer code rather than flesh to copy powers!
- I had forgotten this whole sub-plot because it occurred on the moon.

--- A Wiggly Guy
- They snoop around looking for more doors, and note that the walls have bas reliefs of momento mori - skeletons dancing, skulls, bones, that sort of thing.
- Shrub Jr busts open a door and is confronted by... a wiggly guy! A snake made up of human bones dances out of a wicker pot! Shrub Jr does not care, shoves the snake back in, and sits on the lid. Then he straps it to his chest. 
- There's treasure in the room beyond too! Along with old coins and a golden goblet, there's an inverted and concave symbol of the Nine. Deletion Snels puts it on and becomes Apostate to all religions!

--- Guided by the Lights
- Aximander casts his now-classic Guiding Lights spell, and names "the emotion I'd feel if I found a God" which I interpret as some sort of fear-awe. The lights drift off in a direction, and they follow.
- They come to a large hall with six big pillars, each made of a different substance and each with a letter inscribed on it. Odo works it out first - they spell VERITA. He touches the pillars in order and gains a minor Lay on Hands!
- Sydney does the same and passes the save, losing a little HP but gaining the ability to cast Blessing of the Nine!
- Everybody else doesn't risk it. They follow the lights onwards.
- They pass by various scents, and some graffiti warning of "neandergoblins", whatever those are.

--- Maggots!
- While distracted by a room full of stacked-up wooden god statues... an attack from behind! Tentacles slap onto the backs of Sydney and Aximander, sending them painfully to the ground! The others turn and see a couple of enormous maggots, tentacles writhing from their faces!
- Sydney casts their Sudden Siege Engine spell and a ballista from another dimension splashes one of the maggots and heavily hurts the other! Something has gone awry though... the portal stays open... it's a portal to the End War! Through the portal they see an enormous bone dragon, and shiny soldiers in the shiny armour of the Shining Army of Fate march past towards the final battle!
- Sydney passes out from the poison. Odo is fascinated by the portal and throws a banana at one of the soldiers... but is then attacked by the surviving grub! It is said that the banana grew up to become Shrub Jr.
- Deletion jumps in the way so that it stuns him and he can detect its special move! It works! Aximander stabs it with his burning sword, slaying it, then passes out himself...
- Odo uses his newfound holy power to bring Aximander back to consciousness... but not Sydney alas.

--- Tasty Treats
- With the maggots dead, Deletion Snels immediately falls into a pool of data and starts absorbing the genetic code from a maggot. The others chop up the other maggot for food. Protein!
- Sydney briefly wakes up, casts Safe Space, and passes out again. They get hustled into the flat, maggot dragged along behind, and go straight to the kitchen!
- It's a jumble of fruit topped with fried maggot. It's absolutely superb! Aximander has outdone himself! Not only does it heal everyone up nicely, it also makes everyone run away from stuff faster! Lovely!
- We end there in relative safety, Sydney passed out on the bed, and everybody else being remarkably well behaved.

Session 343 - Loaded for Boar

Date: 23 May, 22 p.p.

Moon: Waxing Crescent - Clean Face
Zenith: Eris


New Characters:
- Shrub Junior, a Brackling related mysteriously to Shrub Nigeria on the moon. Their fruits are bananas, and they are shaped in a very odd pixelated manner related to their time in Fate's Matrix...

New Backstory:
- Aximander was gravely insulted and took the long circuitous Elvish route to get his revenge - a slow buildup of tiny slights and incredibly subtle social snubs that made his rival look both embarrassed and incredibly gauche. +1 Intelligence score.


Events:

--- Return to Splug
- On returning to the Goblin village of Splug after their failed attempt to get past the golems within the pyramid, the party discover that there is a great deal of controversy. Former guard captain Queezling insists that resisting the golems next time is a fool's errand since they can't rely on adventurers turning up next time, outspoken hobgoblin Horngus demands that the pyramid be covered off completely.
- Outside of town, near the moored flesh zeppelin Jonathon Toast, a lunar object crashes to the sludgey ground! Pulling itself from the impact site is... Shrub Jr! He immediately joins the party and is somehow trusted implicitly due to meme magic. He also gets some crab gear from the crab armorer.

--- Spike Time
- Given the lack of beef currently available to the party - a wizard, an elf, and a bananaman - they decide to check out the "marlingspike" they've been told about to the east. They go around the shiny metallic ferrofluid river and head in the direction of the spike. The terrain is oozy and gross, a sort of hardened muddy oobleck in which you start to sink if you stand still. Rock sticking out of the ooze is covered in colourful blooms of lichen, and a rainbow oilslick shimmer fills your footprints.
- Soon they see a bunch of people heading across their path from the north, white robes ooze-stained and white wiggly tails dangling from their sperm-shaped hats. It's some Zeanists! We thought they'd all died out years ago!
- Sydney steps forward as the face of the party, since Aximander is currently looking a bit too Elvish and Shrub Junior is well... Shrub Junior.
- It seems these Zeanists are fleeing their mushroom farm to the north after it was invaded by a winged boar! Shrub Junior latches onto this mushroom idea as a very swift resolution to his "go to earth, get high, leave" character goal. He suggests the Zeanists follow his tracks back west and seek refuge in Splug. Big pyramid, can't miss it!
- They thank the party and head off in that direction, the head priest saying that he'd be extremely grateful if someone can bring him a sack of the mycelium-rich substrate. The mushrooms are yours to do with as you please! Also watch out... Elves are abroad. Aximander pulls his hat down over his ears a little more.

--- Totemic
- They decide to check out this boar (and of course, the mushroom farm) and follow the Zeanists' directions. Low mountains loom to the north-east and they skirt the foothills heading for a mushroom forest.
- On the way, however, they find a mysterious totem pole carved with demon mask-faces. It leans from the wastes at an angle and gets taller and taller as they get closer. There is a shimmer of gold from the top.
- Aximander pokes the tower with his crab-spear and feels a jolt of energy go through him! He feels slightly less intelligent and slightly more wise. Curious.
- He's very curious about the shimmer at the top of the pole, so Sydney loans him his Cat Ring! Cat-Aximander ascends the pole as a rain begins to fall, and soon reaches the top with feline grace. There is a golden chalice up here, dripping the thinnest amount of milk into a bowl-shape cut into the top of the pole. He licks it. It's sweet!
- He bats it off the top and observes the bowl-shape it was in. There are phases of the moon drawn there with a demon's face where the full moon should be. Maybe they'll return then?
- Cat-Aximander drops from the top of the totem pole, lands neatly, and has his collar removed to turn him back into an Elf. Lovely!

--- Pig Egg
- They go into the mushroom forest, here mostly sprouting big portobello-style wide caps. 
Shrub Junior tries some, but they're both disgusting and inedible. Great.
- They follow the Zeanists' path around until they find the shattered tower they were told about. It is, indeed, a shattered tower, but it still stands! Big chunks of it have fallen away from the sides. There's no boar, but there are plenty of big white feathers in the mud. Arrayed around the tower is a fairly large campite, the tents ravaged.




- The party loots the camp, finding a book on Ur-Barakh, a vial of Bleed Poison, and a mushroom-based recipe for a Potion of Bounty.
- Inside the tower it's a mess - the boar has clearly scarfed up a load of mushrooms and left its feathers everywhere. Sydney grabs a sackful of feathers while Shrub Junior gathers a sack of the mycelium.
- Aximander finds a nest on the top floor of the tower and spots a pink and red-speckled egg in a nest of feathers! It's his now! Pig Egg acquired!
- From up here they can see an emaciated goat wandering around the camp. Another pet! Result! They run down and rope it before it can get away.

--- Hunting the Boar
- The trail the boar left is very obvious, seeing as it's leaving those white feathers everywhere. It goes into the mushroom forest and the party follow. Shrub Junior tries the mushrooms with taller caps and these are inedible too, but this time way too mushy.
- They hear squealing and crashing sounds, and carefully approach. It's the boar, charging at the mushrooms and smashing them up in a frenzy.
- Shrub Nigeria throws it a banana from his branches and the boar eyes it up. With a horrible tearing sound, a whole second jaw with a hawk beak snaps out of its pig mouth and grabs the banana!




- Shrub Nigeria coats another banana with Bleed poison, puts it in Sydney's alms bowl, and has Sydney's slime familiar carry it out. The hawk-jaw snaps out, devours the banana... and the boar starts spewing up blood!
- It dies in obvious agony.
- Sydney approaches and grabs the wings. They pull off horribly easily, leaving sweet-smelling wounds.
- A huge oink from overhead! Shrub Nigeria speaks pig, apparently, and knows that it's a mate-seeking call!
- They flee before the boar sees what happened to its partner, not to mention the egg!

---  Tyler's Orgiastic Return
- On their way back south, feeling pretty chuffed with their little adventure, and head back through some of the mushroom forest. There they come across a circle of standing stones. In the circle there are bowls with fresh hors d'oeurves and piles of soft bedding. Voices approach...
- Some goblins are walking in from the west, one in a pig mask and one in a bear mask. And with them... Tyler Lockheart! Where's he been? At the hairdresser, apparently.
- They mistake the party for orgy participants, to the visible confusion of at least Sydney. Can Goblins even have sex??
- In any case, they inform that they did indeed pass by a big spike on the way here and it was shimmering with rainbow hues.
- The party, uncomfortable, leave towards the spike. Tyler stays a while..

--- Sloth
- The mushroom forest gives way to foothills, then low mountains. It's fairly easy going after the sludgy wasteland.
- They crest a rise and look down into a shallow valley. At the bottom there's an enormous blue-masked demon covered in red vines!
- Julian cuts a vine and it spews black ichor... then starts writhing towards him! It's slow but steady, pulsing under the thorns.
- Sydney has a cunning plan - finally use Blight to kill all plants within a mile! She then realises that the goblin orgy will be affected from this distance... and Shrub Junior is also a plant. She has second thoughts about the plant nuke.
- She walks for about ten minutes to the south so that she's out of range of the orgy and Shrub Junior, then she'll cast it and kill all the vines!
- There she comes across a witch! The witch is cutting a pig's head, draws some dice from inside its skull, and invites Sydney to gamble with her...
- After losing some money to the witch, she gives some advice for free... the Blight spell will kill all the plants, but any that survive will hate Sydney for the rest of her days. Once again Sydney has second thoughts about the plant nuke.
- The witch also tells Sydney that the demon was stopped at great cost and bound with the red vines to stop it from destroying the world, so maybe don't free it?
- Aghast, Sydney returns to the demon with the witch in tow. Tyler immediately gambles sausages with her.
- New idea - drain the demon with their Atrametal weapons! Julian and Sydney drive their black blades into the demon's hide, evading strikes from the red vines as they do so!
- While the weapons charge, it's time to cook! They throw 
Ham, one of Shrub Junior's Bananas, old "Gambler's Sausage" from Tyler, Eye of Newt from the witch, and Mushroom into a pot and Sydney boils it up, creating a meal they call "Lucky Dip". It's... not bad!


- We end here since the pub is closing up. Next week... onwards to the spike?
