Check In Question: If you were a dragon what would you hoard?
- Miranda: Besides the things I already hoard (dice, mini-backpacks, figurines and Funko Pops, etc) I would hoard all things Lord of the Rings/Tolkien. Yes, this includes the cast of the films (they would still be free to live their lives, I swear). Lysithea would hoard books. She wants all the books and all the knowledge.
- Kevin: Video games and books. Gobbles would probably hoard any shiny object. Just random, useless scraps and knick knacks.
- Liz: I would hoard collectibles and anything that falls under that category. As long as the collectible falls under some kind of pop culture it is mine. Octavia would hoard juice and grape vines.
- Cordelia: Pokémon. Actual Pokémon. Surina would hoard swords.
- Ian: Koozies. I have a nice collection of koozies at home. Professor would hoard garbage. Anything he can get his hands on.
- Justice: I would hoard board games of all kinds. Josie of Josie and the Tabaxi would hoard cat paraphernalia.
When we last left off the party had just been split. Surina, Professor, and Lysithea had been sucked down into the earth and found themselves trapped in a white room with the other missing bands. In panic, Octavia, K’un-Lun, and Gobbles ran to Lady Pippa to ask for more time so they could find their friends. Lady Pippa granted them 2 hours of time before the finals would start. If they cannot find their friends in time Josie and the Tabaxi, the culprits, will win by default and get away with their crimes.
There is a lot of negative energy in the white room, being fueled by the frustration and anger of all of the trapped bands (constitution save Lysithea 11, Surina 15); however, the negative energy has yet to affect the party. They notice that some of the others in the room are starting to get sleepy, their energy draining.
Lysithea: What do you think we should do?
Surina: We should try to get them to stop fighting.
Lysithea: I already tried yelling at them. That didn’t work too well. Can you try to get them to stop with your niceness?
Surina: Hey everybody, all of the negative energy is being siphoned off of you (persuasion 10).
Some of them are listening to her, but most of the bands continue to argue.
Lysithea: Well if you guys don’t mind being stuck in here forever go ahead and continue arguing.
The bands now change their argument, trying to figure out who started the argument in the first place.
Arrowsmith: Well, you started it! You need to stop!
Phish: No, you’re the one that started it You need to stop first!
They continue to argue back and forth, blaming each other.
Lysithea: Surina, I have a feeling that we need to play the quiet game.
Octavia and Gobbles have only 2 hours to figure out where their friends went.
Octavia: Maybe we should go back to where they got swallowed to see if there’s an entry point. It’s probably a portal, but we should still check.
Gobbles: We can start digging and hope there’s something there.
Octavia: I could have Onza help us.
They return to the space where their tent once was and begin digging (athletics Gobbles 12, Octavia 23). Gobbles uses his kazoo as a shovel, making tiny, humming progress. Octavia is shoveling layers of earth with ease. Some people walking by see what they are doing and are curious.
Person: What are you doing?
Gobbles: She’s fixing a divot!
Octavia: Well, you see, we saw a horrible sight. We saw our party get swallowed into the ground and you don’t care, you’re walking away. Okay, whatever.
They continue to dig and eventually find the remnants of the tent; however, there’s no sign of any of Surina, Professor, or Lysithea.
Gobbles: We could try to jerry-rig one of the bulettes for us to be in it and set it to go and hope we don’t die and hope we actually reach something and don’t plummet to the depths of the earth. What could go wrong?
Octavia: I don’t know. If they’re that far below ground, the way they were taken, they’re dead. So, no. Oh, what do we do, what do we do, what do we do…
Gobbles: Hey Thistle, what do you think we should do?
Thistle: Well, that Pippa had some good ideas. She seemed very powerful. She’s very famous where I’m from.
Gobbles: The random dungeon?
Thistle: No, no, no, where I’m from!
Gobbles: Detroit?
Thistle: No, not the Shadowfell.
(Survival Octavia 21) Octavia can tell that what happened was not naturally occurring but magical in nature. She feels that a nature-based spell was cast and it couldn’t have taken them that far.
Octavia: They’re not that far. I don’t know where they are, but the spell couldn’t have taken them that far.
Back in the white room (constitution save Lysithea 9, Surina 21, Professor 18), Lysithea is starting to feel exhausted.
Lysithea: The stupidity is really getting to me, guys. I’m not feeling well. Can you please make them stop shouting?
The bands are arguing more and more, but their energy levels are dropping faster, fueling the swirl of negativity.
Surina: Please stop shouting (persuasion adjusted 20).
The bands are finally starting to listen to Surina.
Phish: Maybe we should stop.
Arrowsmith: Yeah, maybe we should calm down about. I’m feeling tired.
Other band members start falling asleep as soon as they stop shouting.
Lysithea: Oh, that’s helpful. Thanks for that….
Professor begins feeling the walls in search of a door or anything (investigation adjusted 20). The walls are cold, like they’re insulated.
Lysithea: Are we in Thistle’s dungeon?
The white of the room is not natural, it’s been painted. Lysithea takes her finger and starts chipping at the paint, causing little flecks to fall off. Surina gets an idea.
Surina: Hey, can you all use your weapons to help get the paint off of these walls? (persuasion 16)
Some of the St. Warrgggh!-Ustine choir becomes roused at the idea of using their weapons.
Orcs: Hit the walls?
Lysithea: Yes, hit the walls. Use your weapons!
Professor starts hitting the wall with his hammer. The musicians who are still awake join the Professor and begin bashing the walls in perfect rhythm. The walls echo as they get hit, and the paint steadily begins to chip away.
Gobbles and Octavia want to ask for help, but they don’t want to ask any more of the judges. They decide to track down Phil, the current MC who they previously delivered instruments and corpses to (see Session 14; survival 22). They find Phil constructing a giant stage, wearing a hard hat and orange jumpsuit, giving people orders. (Perception Octavia 18, Gobbles 17) Before they even speak to Phil they hear thumping coming from below the stage.
Octavia: That sounds rhythmic. I think we may have found the missing bands.
They make their way under the stage and find a room with a door. Octavia jiggles the handle but it is locked.
Inside the white room the paint is being chipped away and they realize they are actually in a dark room. The paint was magical, giving light to the room. As they chip more and more they are extinguishing the light. Lysithea, in her exhaustion, is still just slowly picking flecks of paint of the walls with her finger. (Constitution save Lysithea 11, Surina 22, Professor 24) Surina and Professor manage to keep the negative energy at bay, and Lysithea is keeping herself from being further exhausted.
As they chip away the paint they finally find the outline of a door, but there’s no handle.
Lysithea: Wait, wait… wait… There’s a door… kind of…
Orc: Smash it down!
Lysithea: Yes! Smash it down!
All of the orcs who are not asleep rush towards the door to ram it.
On the other side of the door Octavia has her ear against the door trying to listen to see if it’s where the thumping sound was coming from, and Gobbles is trying to peer through the keyhole in the handle to see if he can see anything. He sees a bunch of shadows rush up to the door and THUD! Octavia and Gobbles get knocked back as something rams the door from the other side, but doesn’t knock it down.
Octavia: What the heck was that?!
Gobbles: That sounded like an entire choir hitting the door.
Octavia, in tears from the pain of the ramming of the door, wants to try to lockpick the door open, but Gobbles has another plan.
Gobbles: I’m going to fight fire with fire. Someone was trying to hit us from inside that room so I’m going to hit back.
He puts both hands up against the door and double Confetti Blasts it (damage 5), which propels him backwards as he fires.
Octavia: What did you do that for?
Gobbles: I was helping!
He did damage the door, but only a little.
The door gets blasted by some unknown force and all of the orcs tumble backwards from the impact.
Lysithea: You need to hit it again. Charge!
The orcs charge the door again, ramming it and pushing it together. They still don’t break through the door, but it’s looking a bit flimsier.
Gobbles charges right back up, launching his entire body onto the door, suction cupping the door like a frog. He double Confetti Blasts again (damage 10) and falls backwards as the door falls forwards onto the Warrgggh!-Ustine Choir. The party members can now see each other.
Octavia: Yay!
Gobbles: I’m Gobbles the Goblin! I’m here to rescue you!
Lysithea: Oh my gosh, it’s Gobbles!
Octavia: Oh the choir! Get off the door, Gobbles!
A lot of the other band members are still either very low on energy or asleep.
They Definitely are Not Giants: You guys go on ahead. We’ll get back later.
Lysithea: I mean, whatever floats your boat. I’m leaving.
Octavia: You really gonna leave them there?
Lysithea: I feel like we should go tell Archmage Rogers that we know where the bands are. He can probably help them.
LET THE BANDS COME TO THE STAGE.
Octavia: By the way, we are on now.
Lysithea starts rubbing her temple.
Lysithea: I… am not ready for this…
Octavia: Surina, are you ready?
Surina: Yeah!
Gobbles: Let’s get ready to do band stuff!
Surina: We need a song!
The party heads up to the stage, and there stands Archibald Bickerford Pembleton with Councilwoman Madora Cammish and Josie and the Tabaxi. The audience boos loudly as the party walks onto the stage.
Octavia: Of course.
Gobbles: Ah, our fans.
Archibald: Tonight we will showcase the two final bands! They may not have been the finest…
Gobbles: Hey!
Archibald: …but they succeeded in winning their brackets, somehow.
Gobbles: Gee, thanks.
Lysithea: *coughCHEATINGcough*
Madora: This will be the finest showcase in all of Ryphyet Battle of the Bands history! Which, right now, is just this one.
Octavia: Let’s go out with a bang, my friends.
Octavia suddenly becomes filled with the fire of competition, wanting revenge against Josie and the Tabaxi via the band battle.
Archibald: Each of the bands will play one song, followed by the judging. The audience vote will also go into account. We are joined by our guest MC, Ryan Seacrest!
An aquatic Elf walks on stage, waving to the crowd as they applaud him.
The party quickly discusses what song they are going to play, but Gobbles scuttles off for a moment. He heads down to the room where the other bands are in order to make a deal with them.
Gobbles: Josie and the Tabaxi did this to you guys. If you join in and accompany us at the highest moment of our song I will give each and every one of you cheese (persuasion 19).
Orcs: CHEESE?
The bands agree to aid the party in their moment of need.
Gobbles: The righteousness of cheese will unite the world!
Ryan Seacrest: First up, Josie and the Tabaxi!
Professor: Boo! Boooooooo!
Josie and the Tabaxi begin playing their song, Spin Around…
Gobbles: I love this one!
As they play the negative energy begins to swirl around them, summoning all the negative energy from the crowd.
Octavia: I’m getting a little nervous here.
The same banshee that has been threatening the bands appears above Josie. The party is still protected by the bubbles created by the cards given to them by Archmage Rogers (see Session 21). The party watches the horror from the side of the stage.
Professor: I would seem that they do not want us to perform. The Tabaxi, that is.
Octavia: I agree with the Professor. I’m just disappointed.
Professor: It seems like they do not want anybody to perform ever again. I mean, anything.
Octavia: We need to stop them.
Lysithea: Surina, what do you think? Should we let them continue to perform with all of this swirling evil that they’re controlling, or should we stop them?
Surina: Stop them!
(Initiative Gobbles 6, Surina 5, Octavia 9, Lysithea 9, Professor 13) In the anticipation of battle Lysithea casts mage armor.
Begin Josie and The Pussycats Battle
As the party discusses charging the stage, a displacer beast appears right in front of the party and roars at them. The negative energy continues to swirl as it grows. The audience is starting to fall asleep from being drained. Professor casts Arcane weapon as a bonus action, then shoots Fire Bolt at Melody, the drummer, (attack 21) for 19 fire damage. He then fires his crossbow at the drummer (attack 9) but it bangs off the shell of the drum.
Melody: OW!
The band stops the music and turns to the source of the attack, focused on the party. The negative energy still surrounds them, even though they have stopped playing.
Josie: Sebastian! Get them!
Sebastian the displacer beast takes a tentacle swipe at Gobbles but misses. It attacks Gobbles again, hitting him for 5 bludgeoning damage and 2 piercing damage. Lysithea tries to cast Fireball, but Melody casts Counterspell causing it to fizzle out.
Lysithea: HOW DARE YOU!
Octavia casts Ensnaring Strike, then shoots at Melody (attack 18) for 12 damage. The strike is triggered but Melody is able to avoid the vines that try to grapple her. Octavia shoots again (attack 17) for an additional 5 damage. Gobbles disengages with the displacer beast, then double Confetti Eldritch Blasts at Melody (attack 15, 9). Only one blast hits for 10 damage. Surina casts Hunter’s Mark on the displacer beast, then swings her sword at it (attack 10) but misses. She attacks the beast again (attack 14) and hits for 11 damage. The swirling negative energy condenses into Josie and the Tabaxi. As Melody absorbs the negative energy she appears to be healed. Valerie, the bassist, throws a javelin at Gobbles, hitting him for 7 damage. Upon being struck Gobbles needs to make a save (constitution save adjusted 20) and is safe from poison damage. She throws another javelin at Gobbles…
Gobbles: Cheating!
… but misses. Josie makes a great motivational speech to her bandmates…
Josie: Work together, be strong, and defeat this evil!
Gobbles: Evil? That’s you! *turns to party* What they said but for us!
Josie continues to make her speech, motivating her band.
Professor: Will somebody shut her up?
Octavia: I agree.
Professor: You used to be my favorite band! What happened to you? You’re old stuff was better! How come you never play any B side?
Melody fires Magic Missile, all aimed at Gobbles. Gobbles takes 11 force damage and is down to 16 health. Professor brings out Bulette Bro, throwing him 10ft in front of him. He uses a bonus action to fire at Melody (attack 23) for 3 force damage, pushing her back 10 ft. As he hits her the band all together shout “TEAMWORK” and cast a spell that recharges and heals Melody. Sebastian the displacer beast attacks Surina twice, missing both attacks.
Lysithea: I’m going to try this again.
Lysithea shoots her Fireball, hitting all three Tabaxi for 33 fire damage each. As her ball of fire hits each band member they react by casting a spell. Each spell appears as a colorful light that surrounds all three members. (Arcana Professor 23, Gobbles 19, Octavia 19). They notice that the blue light from Melody helped heal each member, Valarie’s red light is making them stronger by focusing their keen attack ability, and Josie’s green light raised their defenses. Octavia casts Hunter’s Mark on Josie and shoots twice at her (attack 16, 12) but misses both shots. Gobbles jumps up onto the stage (athletics 12) and runs forward. He turns back towards the party and casts Bardic Inspiration on Surina.
Gobbles: Yeah guys, it’s time for US to fight the evil because we’re not the ones summoning murder clouds and kidnapping people. Now let’s go punch some cats!
He then braces for impact and cures himself with 5HP using Lay On Hands. Surina attacks the displacer beast, using the Bardic Inspiration (attack 16). She hits for 10 damage, then attacks again (attack 17) for an additional 15 damage. Valarie moves towards Gobbles to sword and claw him…
Gobbles: I’m Gobbles the Goblin! Nice to meet you!
Her sword hits him for 6 damage, but she misses with her claws. Josie takes the fire from the Fire Ball and casts Pyrotechnics Fireworks in between Lysithea, Professor, and Octavia (constitution saving throw Professor 24, Lysithea Nat 20, Octavia 10). Octavia is blinded by the Fireworks till the end of her next turn. Melody fires Magic Missile at Lysithea for 11 damage.
Lysithea: So that’s what that feels like.
Bulette Bro climbs up onto the stage (athletics 15) and fires at Melody (attack 12) but misses. Professor manages to climb up the stage (athletics 12) and shoots at Melody with his crossbow (attack 11). He casts Fire Bolt at Melody (attack 13) but misses that, too. The displacer beast moves behind Lysithea and attacks her for 10 damage, then again for another 10 damage. Lysithea steps back and casts Magic Missile at the displacer beast for 14 damage. Because of Lysithea’s attack the beast no longer has displacement for at least the next turn. Octavia moves towards Lysithea and casts Cure Wounds, healing her for 4HP. Octavia is able to pull herself together and is no longer blinded. Gobbles uses a bonus action to cast Hexblade’s Curse on Melody, then double Confetti Eldritch Blasts her (attack 19, 15). As his first attack hits Gobbles activates Fury of the Small, for a total of 15 damage. Melody heals after the first attack hits, the blue light surrounding all three band members. Gobbles’s second attack hits for 11 more damage.
Professor: My guess is that you can only do this every six seconds or so.
Surina flanks the displacer beast and attacks with her longsword (attack 12) but misses. She attacks again (attack 21) and hits for 12 damage. Valarie attacks Gobbles twice, making contact with her second hit for 6 damage. Constitution saving throw (13) Gobbles is safe from the poison yet again. Josie casts Confusion on Professor, Lysithea, and Octavia (Wisdom Saving Throw Octavia 14, Professor 14, Lysithea 14). All three are now confused. Melody fires Scorching Ray at Gobbles, with only the third ray hitting for 7 damage, bringing Gobbles down to 2 health. Gobbles reacts with Hellish Rebuke for 12 damage, taking Melody down in a flash of confetti filled fire. Professor, who is now confused, starts moving around randomly and fumbles his way to the end of the stage. He remains confused (wisdom saving throw 7), but is still able to fire Bulette Bro, which fires at Valerie (attack 17) for 13 damage and pushes her 10ft back. This time, because Melody is down, there is no swirl of colorful energy in reaction to being hit. The spell required all three members of Josie and the Tabaxi for it to work. The displacer beast teleports behind Gobbles to attack, but misses both attacks. Lysithea, in her confusion, attempts to slap Octavia but misses, jolting her out of her confusion (wisdom saving throw 21). Octavia in her confusion stands stunned and remains confused (wisdom saving throw 14). Josie casts Vicious Mockery at Gobbles (wisdom saving throw 15) for 1 damage. Gobbles is down to 1HP.
Gobbles: Ow.
Gobbles disengages with the displacer beast and casts Cure Wounds on himself, bringing him up to 6 HP. Surina runs up the stairs onto the stage and attacks the displacer beast (attack 1); however, the beast disappears and reappears behind Lysithea and Octavia. Surina then throws a javelin at Valerie (attack 12) but misses. Valerie charges at Gobbles, but he is able to dodge both of her attacks, hiding behind his giant shield. Josie casts Tasha’s Hideous Laughter at Surina (wisdom saving throw 11). Surina begins laughing so hard that she falls prone; however, because Josie is now concentrating on making Surina laugh the confusion spell on Octavia and Professor is now broken. Professor moves towards Gobbles but is unable to reach him. He casts Scorching Ray at Valerie (attack 19, 14, 23), with 2 rays hitting her for 26 fire damage. He then fires his Arcane crossbow at her (attack adjusted 20) for an additional 6 piercing and 5 fire damage. Valarie has been knocked down. Bulette Bro moves up and fires at Josie (attack 18) but misses. The displacer beast attacks Lysithea twice, but misses both attacks.
Lysithea: What? I dodged? That’s never happened before!
Lysithea fires Scorching Ray at Josie (19, 13, Nat 20) with 2 rays hitting for a total of 26 fire damage. Octavia steps back from the beast then fires an arrow at its face (attack 21) for 7 damage. She fires again (attack Nat 1) but the displacer beast teleports behind Professor. Gobbles: Professor! I will fire at the Noodle Cat!
Gobbles fires two Confetti Eldritch Blasts at the displacer beast (attack 9, 13). Only one of his blasts hit for a meager 1 damage. Gobbles grumbles in frustration. Surina is now flanking the displacer beast and hits its (attack adjusted 20) for 13 damage.
Surina: Goodbye forever!
As the displacer beast is defeated it shrinks in size and turns into a cute, little, orange cat. Octavia immediately swoops in and picks it up.
Octavia: It’s mine, now! I’m taking it home!
Josie moves in and casts Fear, creating a giant banshee above her in an attempt to scare Gobbles, Professor, and Surina (wisdom saving throw Professor Nat 1, Gobbles 8, Surina 19). Surina stands brave, but Gobbles and Professor are now afraid. They make a dash to get away from her in the safest way, with Gobbles dropping his warhammer and shield as he scurries away. Professor still manages to use his bonus action to fire Bulette Bro (attack 14) at Josie but the shot misses. Lysithea fires Magic Missile at Josie for 9 damage. Octavia climbs up on the stage (athletics 22) and fires at Josie (attack 12, 16) but both shots miss. Surina runs in to attack Josie. Her Hunter’s Mark had transferred to Josie at the defeat of the displacer beast. She swings her sword at Josie (attack 18) but misses. She swings her sword again (attack 23) and hits, casting Divine Smite on impact. Her glorious attack does a total of 30 damage. Josie tries to attack Surina back with her rapier, but Surina dodges. Josie attacks at her again with her claws for 8 damage. Professor and Gobbles can no longer see Josie so their fear breaks and they can get back into the fight. Professor turns around and bolts back onto the stage. Bulette Bro fires at Josie but misses. Lysithea fires Scorching Ray one more time (attack adjusted 20, adjusted 20, 16) for a total of 14 fire damage, taking Josie down.
Come On Watch the Good Guys Win
As Josie falls the pendants that each band members were wearing shatter and turn to dust. All of the negative energy that was swirling around instantly dissipates. The sky is now clear, showing a lovely sunset without a cloud in the sky. The party moves in to investigate and all that remains of the pendants is the symbol of a jackal.
Octavia: No!
Lysithea: Not you again!
Lysithea lifts the symbol and takes it for reference. The audience begins to wake up and see the party on the stage.
Gobbles: Now we can perform!
Lysithea: We have just cured you of your curse!
Octavia: Lysithea, that never works!
Audience: SURINA! SURINA! SURINA!
The audience begins chanting, wanting Surina and the Crystal Gems to perform. Professor, by himself, starts singing Amazing Grace. Gobbles scurries off the stage to find Phil.
Gobbles: Can somebody come pick up the cats?
Phil: We’ll take ‘em.
Phil and his crew, along with the Ryphyet police force come to take them away.
Lysithea: Please get them out of my sight.
Police: We have some jail space left.
Professor is still singing Amazing Grace. Lysithea politely elbows him to get him to stop.
Lysithea: Wrong song. We need to go get our instruments off the side of the stage.
They run off the stage, collect their instruments, then set themselves up on the stage. They begin performing their song “Love Makes the World Go Round”.
When the group starts singing the St. Warrgggh!-Ustine Choir rushes onto the stage and begins singing with them. All of the other bands follow suit, rushing onto the stage to put on a huge, epic finale with Surina leading the show. The audience erupts in a huge roar of applause, begging for an encore.
Audience: ENCORE! ENCORE!
The party looks at each other, confused, unable to think of an encore. From seemingly out of nowhere, world famous bard, Redwyrm, steps onto the stage. The audience goes quiet in awe as he walks up to the microphone. He looks around for dramatic effect, then begins rapping about the hero Surina. The party and other bands quickly jump in to provide back up, and Surina jumps in with her catchphrase to finish the song. The crowd goes wild with applause and cheers!
Once the applause dies down Archibald and Madora walk onto the stage.
Archibald: As winners we reward you with the Ryphyet prize – you are now honorary citizens for a year! And 10,000 gold!
The party can hear the voice of Pippa in their heads.
Pippa: Two hours would cost you 10,000 gold. I’ll be taking it. As a benefit, if you are ever in my area you can stay at my place.
Archibald: You also receive this trophy!
Professor: How much is it worth?
The trophy looks like a bowling trophy, with horse reared on its hind legs on top. The inscription reads “Ryphyet Battle of the Bands”. As they hand the trophy to Surina the inscription magically adds “Surina and the Crystal Gems”.
Professor starts taking all of his Josie and the Tabaxi memorabilia and starts throwing it on the ground. He takes off his Josie and the Tabaxi shirt, smashes all his records, and lights the pile on fire.
The party has successfully discovered the culprits and wont the Battle of the Bands!
The party levels up to level 6. End Session.

Spotlight on Another Player:
- Ian: Justice for making real solid combat for this chapter.
- Miranda: Justice for coming up with this whole story arc. It’s been one of the most fun arcs I’ve ever played.
- Kevin: Mine will also be Justice for making this arc. When I first heard of it I thought you were going to make it maybe 1 session, but you turned it into an arc with multiple secret things happening.
- Liz: Justice for this but also Cordelia for doing 30 damage to Josie with one hit.
- Cordelia: Gobbles for jumping on and knocking down the door.
- Justice: Gobbles for being the meat shield. Miranda for taking my counterspell in stride because I knew she would kill me once I did it.
Challenge/Something Learned:
- Ian: I am not very wise. My wisdom is crud.
- Miranda: Justice and his counterspell. I didn’t like that.
- Kevin: My something learned is through the power of friendship and bravery anyone can defeat cat musicians.
- Liz: I learned a bit more about my spells this time. I got to use a new one that I hadn’t before.
- Cordelia: I learned that using Divine Smite at a higher level does more damage.
- Justice: My challenge is crafting another story arc that lives up to the hype and fun of this one.
Hope/Prediction Next Session:
- Ian: I don’t trust that Rogers fellow. He’s too nice, I don’t get it. No one’s that nice. I want answers from him.
- Miranda: I hope we that in interrogating Josie and the Tabaxi we get some answers from both them and Mr. Rogers. I would like some questions answered.
- Kevin: My prediction is that this jackal, the main bad guy, is someone that we’ve already dealt with. Like one of the people we think is bumbling comic relief, like Slogoth or Mateen, is going to be the evil mastermind. Darth Jar Jar Binks.
- Liz: I predict that we’re going to move on. I think Professor is going to find out if the trophy is worth anything. I think Lysithea is going to question a bunch of people angrily.
- Cordelia: I hope Josie and the Tabaxi go to jail.
- Justice: I hope we wrap up this arc and we get to the next part as we all want. There’s a lot of possibilities that I’ve placed in the game that you all can choose from.
The analysis of this session and the full story arc will come in a separate post.
I was honored to be part of this amazing story arc. Surina definitely lived up to the hype in my song about her – doing 30 points of damage in a single attack, and the entire party stood “Side by side fighting evil together.”
