The Gift of Murder (Session 93)

 SESSION 93: The Ongoing Assault on Set’s House (10June19)

           The jackals were guardians of the gold sarcophagus and the mayhem gave away our location within the lair. The forces of Set converged on our squad and forced them to fall back without the loot. Lots and lots of fighting ensued. Advantage be damned. We hardly covered any ground again. Just wave after wave of cultists and their minions. Blood and fire. Steve died to the latter but was still also freely releasing the former, charred on the outside but still bloody rare on the inside. Nara got lucky and dodged her doom for now. Once the dust settles and the blood stopped flowing it looked like the Necromancers of Set had finally been crushed. was That pretty cool as far as accomplishments go but it cost us a murderhobo.

Minions of Dark Gods Abound (Session 92)

 SESSION 92: Assault on the Temple of Set. Wait What?!?

            We were having a pleasant rest in the temple of the damned after knocking off the Kill Crew... Carla got a warning from above, deep discordant tones from above, the forces of chaos were at hand. We moved northeast and smashed our way into the Secret Shrine Sector of the Setite Sect. We just can’t let a secret entrance pass by unmolested, and there was no shortage of them.

            A host of evil flunkies, spunkies and junkies. Smited, smoted, smashed and topped off with the liberation of the leaders of the mongrelmen. It seems like things are moving along just fine. I’m almost certain our uncontrollable need to search and loot while ransacking a secret base that has been alerted to our presence will have no adverse outcome, but forget that shit because we just discovered a major mutha-fucking cache. A full golden sarcophagus surrounded by chests and two exquisite brass jackals. "Oh ya!" Our hobos stood there more than a little slack-jawed figuring how to get this jackpot back to Helix for melting down into ingots.

When MurderHobos Go Round and Round (Session 91)

 SESSION 91: Cat & Mouse in the Temple of the Damned (18MAY19)

            So, we decided to run. Whatever was coming seemed to be Legion. It was in fact a Nergal Kill Crew that would bring all sorts of twisted abominations.This DM dreamed of dismemberment and disfigurement.

Ding-We webbed the first set of doors and then we spiked the second. We boogied out the back of the chamber taking a passageway to the NE until coming to a door, 30 feet later. They were feeling like whatever was behind had been avoided. I'm not sure how MurderHobos survive in the wild, the same goes for hamsters. They kicked the door in, no time for nuance, revealing a chamber with a couple of mimics feasting on some unlucky tomb robbers. The jig was up and the mimics sadly were caught with their proverbial drawers down. No sneaky ambush this time just a quick fight against our horde.

    Beyond was a series of other oddly shaped small rooms. They encountered some mongrelmen and received some broad info about the surrounding area. After all the obligatory chirping, barking and squeaking. We then back tracked to the vicinity of the pillared chamber from which we started and attempted to setup an ambush for the Nergal Kill Crew whom appear to have gotten back on our trail. 

    First came the hounds, stitched together things with rotting wolves heads and almost enough limbs to move properly. They could smell and presented a pestilent bite driven by undead rage against all that was living. Behind them came ghouls, ghasts and abominations. Everything you would expect from a prospective death god.  A rather major battle went down but we were able to hold the line and demolish Nergal’s forces at this meeting. However, the battle did deplete our remaining resources forcing us to back-back-track to get some rest. Really was just a day of doing doughnuts in Barrowmaze until the original problem was addressed. 

And that is why procrastination can be the death of ya.
