Fri Mar 25 17:23:56 EDT 2022 Resuming Ed's campaign, after a break of a few sessions, while Scott ran the first part of Wild Beyond the Witchlight. Last time we played this campaign, in December 2021, Zoozkeki found a Staff of the Magi in a desert tomb, then we all fled in a flying boat through a painting. Me, Ed, Steve, Anthony (Steve's friend), and Sebastian. Anthony is playing Lok'Tarr, a full Orc from before time. We start heading north, toward Ootherion's realm. We see a guy on a flying carpet, being followed by guys (kobolds?) ridding a giant caterpillar. We speak with the guy on the carpet. Oh, it wasn't a chase — the guys on the caterillar are his entourage. > Thoney, my old friend, is having her annual dinner party about thirty miles north of here. > There will be lots of rich people you can rob. > The Dastardly Gourmet will be there. > I will not be attending. > I was disinvited this year! > Watch out for Theoney's half-dragon consort. > Party starts at six AM tomorrow (6/6 6:00) Smudge asks his name. Farnakof the warlock. We stop at a village to visit a tailor. "High-End Sarah" the tailor. Zoozeki gets the full W.C. Fields tux and hat. Klarabell buys the dress and brigadine that Big Nellie the Buffalo Heffer never picked up. We need an invitation to the party, so Smudge and Lok'Tar follow servants from town toward their camps in the desert. Smudge disguises himself as a gnoll. Smudge steals some scrolls from a gnoll's tent. Got an invitation! Next day. Kristabelle and Lok'Tarr mascarade as the musical act Orc and A Half. The rest of us turn invisible. We go to the party. Oops, the bouncer can detect invisible! Suits of armor with red glows in them. All of us get chased out, except the band, who make it in to dinner. Dinner. Woman with wings. A vat full of heads. The gnolls mobilize from their camp and head to the dinner. Smudge burgles their camp while they're away. He gets a jeweled dagger and a few coins. He also poisons their water. Sebastian want to lob a fireball down the chimney, and incinerate the cooks in the kitchen. Smudge finds a pair of double doors at the back. While he's checking them out, a guy on a horse with a bow shows up.
