Fri 06 May 2022 05:23:21 PM EDT Last session, on April 8, we busted up a dinner party. Krystabelle got charmed by Theone, a daemon woman, so Rayhault, her sword took her over. To do: explore the rest of the of the complex, including the **secret door** Zoozeki found. Zoozeki casts _alter self_ to make him look like Theone. Zoozeki points out the secret door to smudge. It leads to a hallway. We hide Theone's body in the secret hallway. The passage leads past the drawing room, where we hear muttering about "they killed her". "Maybe the game can help me." There's a concealed, unlocked door to the drawing room. A door at the end of the hallway. Draft of fresh air. We double back to explore the south-east door of the dining room. A bathroom. South door out of bathroom leads to another hallway with several doors. East door. Master bedroom. Dragon guy playing on arcade machine. Everybody except Zoozeki hides in hallway. Zoozeki (still disguised as his daemon lover) says "quick, come with me" and runs into the hallway. He follows. Zoozeki spins and fireballs him, though he saves for half damage. Everybody else pounces, surprising him. Dragon guy charges Zoozeki. Loktar gets an attack of opportunity. Loktar deals a crit and max damage (28 hp). But the dragon guy still attacks Zoozeki with swords, but misses! Smudge sneak attacks the dragon guy for 24 hp. Loktar takes his head to use as a spiritual focus. Arcade machine. "Gear-Grinder!" A sit-down driving game. We loot it. Zoozeki puts it on a _Tenser's floating disk_. Zoozeki leaves a _magic mouth_ that says: "Let this massacre serve as a warning to those thinking of not inviting Farnakof the Warlock to a party." (blame-casting) We find a strongbox and take it. We loot the bodies. A big signet ring with a lightning bolt X. An unusual-looking coiled rope (a lasso?). Assorted jewelry. Mahogany spice box. We leave, and head out across the desert toward our flying boat. The remaining two humanoid camps are fighting each other. Zoozeki has an owl familiar do overwatch. On the road, we're charged by cavalry. Kristabell makes Rayhalt very large, and tried to intimidate them. She intimidates them, and they break and route! We pass by the vacant goblin camp (they're off fighting) and investigate rummaging sounds in the deluxe central tent. Six goblins fight over junk in the tent. Zoozeki (still in the guise of the daemon lady) yells at them to get out, and they run. Zoozeki takes a slim spell book that must have belonged to Think Tank. We make it back to our flying boat.
