Making a Mess of Things (Session 21)

 SESSION 21: Let us build an army (16 May 16)

            …And so we popped up for a quick recharge in the city and dove right back into its bowels. But not before leveraging some of Carla’s favour at the Grand Temple to get some helpful elixirs. In particular they got a potent green jelly juice that abbreviated Calvins convalescing. Deep down they went discovering the secret temple of Stolas, High Prince of demons. Also finally coming face-to-face with a competing band of murderhobos the Black Jacks. This played out in tenuous neutrality for a defined period of time (8 hrs), even with the presence of a self proclaimed advisory Black Harris the cleric of general dickery.

Much sneaky movement also led to the demise of a were-rat raiding party and the crushing of the present high priest and priestess of Stolas. A vile harpy and the sick fuck that spent his evenings doing really gross stuff with her bird like undercarriage. Really, really gross shit if you think about it. The world is really better off without that kind of perversion. This bound to have repercussions into the future. 

 Needless to say such good fortune did not come at a cost, Brian and Stewie both met horrid and untimely ends. Fear not, as Ding-We and company successfully recruited a legion of not so fanatical mercenary veterans over to the friendly red shirt column. Of note we find that sacks of copper again have an effect when manipulating the underclasses. And good ol’Sloth had a fine day of bopping jerks on the head. He was also very close to using Raul’s “held” body as a sledgehammer but his chum Ding-We suggested using a brazier instead, too bad as that would have been funny.

Finally they waylaid an emissary band of troglodytes up from a deeper level and delivered them swift death. This also will have repercussions in the future. Next we make for the treasure trove alluded to in the found treasure map.
