Murder Gunk Underfoot (Session 6)

 SESSION 6: We gots undesirable material on our feets (13 Aug 15)

Ahhhhhh! Where the frik and frak are we?

Oh ya, somewhere in the ASE covered in mushman-gunk and other gross stuff.

And with that our slimy scuzz bunch of murder hobos pressed on. Deeper into the unknown world of the Anomalous Subsurface Environment.

Without going onto longwinded details, perhaps, just perhaps, all that mushman-gunk presents a very pleasant odour if one was a gigantic bug. I only bring this up, as it seems our mob of morally challenged lunk heads spent a heck of a lot of time fending off big-ass invertebrates.  

When the bug bits weren’t flying our intrepid scientist Lenardo decided to touch the first functioning Gods’ Eye he came in contact with. Well he was blessed with a deep vision from the primordial depths. It seems that one does not necessarily need to descend into the mouth of madness to lose their marbles. Sometimes the Eye is more than enough. As luck did have it Len only went temporarily insane and only briefly tried to kill Friggins. All ended well and no one seemed overly concerned regarding the “why” and is there any lasting damage to Len’s little mind. The Hobo’s only know forward - onwards into the breach!

Later or earlier or maybe even roughly the same time, the party discovered what appeared to be a major road or highway (if they knew what that was) cutting through the ASE. They found many alcoves and more than a few doors that culminated in an encounter with a bunch of skeletons. The party was unprepared and the bones got the jump. This cost Rahgnar an eye, and created the need for immediate bed rest, but somehow he survived. Once the party got their wits in order one of the 10,000 clerics in the group called down some holy mojo and turned the lot. 

It was at this point the Hobo’s realized that it was a prudent time to get back home while they still could. Rations and light sources were running low and they sensed that their ability to dodge death is but a fleeting bit of luck. 

And so they ran away.

Back up to the Gatehouse, past the Sarge, through the bear lair down the mountain, past lurking certain death, onto the trade road, back to Chelmfordshire, pressed on through the night without stopping at the Muddy Cup so as to avoid any unwanted Imperial entanglements and right back to their apartments on the Street of Students in Denethix. Whew.

Join us for session seven when we ask the questions:

 We got out alive, now what?

 These are likely to be worth asking again…

    1) Why did we get that bureaucrat’s attention?

    2) How do we turn off the house lights and send everyone home?

Figgins felt the icy claw of death but zigged when he needed to. Next time…
