It was a quiet night at Kiryuin Manor. Despite Ted's initial deception and their struggles in-game, the group was eager for another session in The Forgotten Realms. Mataro was less excited, being dragged along merely on a whim. Mataro brought his dog, Guts, who will be playing as a his pet wolf.
The players all had their character sheets updated to level two and they were excited to use their new abilities. Gamagori could cast paladin spells now, even if his Charisma isn't that great with a 12. Uzu had ki points, Nonon had song of rest, and Hoka was able to pick a school of magic, Divination.
The players gathered around the table with Ted waiting at the head.
"Welcome back players," Ted greeted, "I'm glad you all weren't too put off by all the tricks I pulled last time,"
"Better your tricks than Bob's," Satsuki said flatly.
"Yeah, you got that right," Ryuko agreed, "Can't believe he started another Truth or Dare,"
"Anyway, last session, you were all on your way to Phandalin to deliver some cargo for your employer, Gundren. Leena notices a broken down cart with dead horses and realizes that they were walking into an ambush. After a failed counter-ambush and a little sparing, Spark convinces the goblins to take them to their cave to defeat a bugbear named Klarg and put a stop to the goblins reign of terror. Unfortunately, the goblins had the idea to attack you at the cave's entrance, leading to a two front battle where more than half of the party was injured. As you rest, Yeemik and his band of goblins came out with Sildar and offered to trade him for Klarg's head. Robin refused and killed Yeemik. With the only major injury going to Livi, who had nearly been killed by the rain of arrows. The sole goblin survivor so far led you to Klarg's lair, where another bloody battle ensued. Spark became fourteen. You all found some pets and decided to take the sole goblin survivor, Pogo, along with his wolf… What's your character name, Guts?"
"I don't know, can't I just use my name?" Guts asked.
"No, gotta come up with a new name," Ted ruled.
"I don't want to pick something generic like Scar or Omega. How did you come up with Pogo?" Guts asked.
"I just thought of a pogo stick and went with that," Mataro answered.
"Yeah, that does sound dumb. Screw it, I'll go with Bones,"
"Excellent, but before we start. Guts, you're just playing a normal wolf, but I decided to roll your mental stats and here is a fun fact. You are smarter than everyone in the party, except the wizard,"
"Nice," Guts remarked.
"With that said, let's begin," Ted opened the vortex and the players were sucked down into the world of The Forgotten Realms once more.
"For the most part, you are battered and beaten. You manage to use the last ounces of your strength to haul the stolen supplies back to the cart in exchange for a hearty reward from the Lionshield Coster. Pogo went to get his faithful wolf companion, Bones, and with them and Sildar in tow, you finally make your way to Phandalin to rest,"
The characters suddenly find themselves approaching the village. It was a little before dark and as they approached town, they saw a balding human man locking the doors to what appears to be his shop.
"As you ride into town, you see the place where you are to deliver your convoy, Barthen's Provisions. You see the man himself locking up for the night,"
"Maybe we can deliver the convoy before he leaves," Sildar suggests.
"But I'm tired," Nui whined.
"You and the rest of us," Nonon sassed, "We're delivering this cargo,"
"Hello Barthen," Sildar greets from the front of the first wagon.
"Sildar! Good to see ya! Man… you all look like shit," Barthen responds.
"We had a run in with a bunch of goblins, they won't be any trouble again," Uzu said.
"But unfortunately, they've captured Gundren," Sildar added, "And had him sent elsewhere,"
"That's horrible news," Barthen sighs, "I was excited to talk about the mine of the Phandelver's Pact. He found out where it was and we were going to send a team down there,"
"What's the mine of the Phandelver's Pact?" Gamagori asked.
Ted rolled some history checks to determine what they knew. The only one who knew anything was Hoka, which only makes sense, he's by far the brains of the party.
"Alston knows, I'm sending the info to his brain now," Ted declared.
Suddenly, he knew the basic history of the mine. Apparently, he had been the only one paying any attention to Gundren when he spoke about why they were delivering this cargo. Which was full of rations, lanterns, and various mining equipment.
"About five hundred years ago, clans of dwarves and gnomes made an agreement known as the Phandelver's Pact. Basically, they'd share the riches found in a mine in a cavern called Wave Echo Cave. In addition to great mineral wealth, the mine contained wondrous amounts of magical energy. Some human spellcasters allied with the gnomes and dwarves and were able to channel this energy into a great forge where magic items could be crafted. The mine and this village prospered until an army of orcs laid waste to everything in their path. With the backing of mercenary wizards, the orcs fought against the allies of the Phandelver's pact. The ensuing battle destroyed much of the cavern and the location of Wave Echo Cave was lost. That was until Gundren found it,"
"Thanks for the exposition," Nonon yawned.
"So perhaps the people who took Gundren, are also interested in this cave," Satsuki suggested.
"That's might be the case, but who knows in this land?" Barthen remarked, "Either way, if you can, please try to save him. You seem like a capable bunch. Anyway, here is your pay for delivering the cargo, 80 gold pieces, split amongst yourselves,"
"What about me?" Mataro whined.
"I'd be lucky to be alive if I were you," Gamagori threatened.
The party helps Barthen bring his cargo into the shop and pays the party their dues.
"Thanks again," Barthen thanked, "I notice you found some of the cargo for the Lionshield Coster. I'll loan you the cart for tomorrow so you all can take the supplies down there,"
"Thanks and before we go, do you know where the nearest inn is?" Ryuko asked.
"Oh, The Stonehill Inn? Just down the block, you can't miss it,"
"Thank you, sir," Nui thanked
"You take your leave and head over to… hold on," Ted looked over to see Mataro rummaging through the Lionshield Costar supply crates. He rolled Mataro's sleight of hand check. In total, he scored an 11.
"As you take your leave, Robin and Livi hear rummaging in the back of their cart,"
"Let me guess… Pogo?" Robin guessed.
"Indeed," Ted confirmed.
Ryuko whacked the goblin upside the head with the hilt of one of her longswords, knocking the goblin, who currently had 1 hp, unconscious. Mataro's spectral image appeared over his body.
"You didn't need to do that!" Mataro's spectral image yelled.
"Obviously I did!" Ryuko replied.
"Anyway, you head down the block and find yourselves in front the inn. It's a fairly newly built roadhouse of fieldstone and rough-hewn timbers. Above the door, you see a sign hanging from the wall that says the name of the inn,"
Everyone knew exactly what Ted meant and was able to read the sign, which had said 'The Stonehill Inn' in Common, without any trouble. Everyone except for Mako, who could only see gibberish. The sign had random numbers, letters, and some of these letter changed back and forth like some kind of glitch in the matrix.
"Ted, why does the sign look weird to me?" Mako asked.
"It's simple," Ted began, "You have an intelligence score of 7… out of 20. Your modifier for any intelligence based skill is at -2, with the exception of Arcana, but that only levels it out to 0. What I'm trying to get at is, you are illiterate,"
"I can't read!" Mako explained.
"Yep, sucks to be you, fourteen and stupid," Ted remarked.
The party walks inside the inn and into the common room. AS they walk in, the patrons of the inn, stop what they were doing and look at the large group of strangers walking in.
"The common room is filled with locals nursing mugs of ale or cider, all of eyeing you for curiosity," Ted narrated, "At the counter, there is a short young human, probably the owner of this establishment. He looks somewhat frightened by your presence,"
"Why's that?" Nui asked.
"Well, think about it. Nine people show up to a small town innhouse, one of which is an unconscious goblin. Not to mention the rarely seen dragonborn and tabaxi," Ted explained.
Satsuki walks up to the counter.
"Hello sir, do you have any rooms for the night?" Satsuki asked.
"W-why yes we do," The man answered, "We have six rooms in total though. Some of you are going to have to double up,"
"That's fine," Gamagori said, "I'll be outside with the carts anyway. You never know what might happen,"
"That's not a bad idea, especially with the Redbrands running amuck," the man said.
"Redbrands?" Ryuko asked.
The man behind the counter sighed. "Since you lot look clueless, I'm glad you aren't one of their goons. The name's Toblen Stonehill, owner of this inn. The Redbrands are a gang of ruffians that have been terrorizing this town for quite some time. They go around thieving, harassing some of the locals, and just last month, they killed the local wood carver and kidnapped his wife and children,"
"That's awful," Nui sobbed.
"Doesn't this village have a militia or something?" Nonon asked, "Can't they take care of them?"
"A militia? Not really," Toblen answered, "We have a few retired adventurers living in the area, but most of the people here are hard working tradesmen, shopkeepers and their families. Even if we did have one, they'd probably be bought off anyway. Our townmaster, Harbin Wester, has done nothing to curtail them. I'd say something about it, but I don't want my family to end up like the wood carver's,"
"We'll be on the lookout," Gamagori stated.
"Who said anything about that?" Nonon snapped.
"I did, just now. Do you want to move the story forward or do you just want to sit around and play the violin all day?" Gamagori scoffed.
Nonon saw from the corner of her eye, a grand piano in the common room dining area. She was proficient with it as well and wanted to try her hand at it.
"May I play the piano?" Nonon asked Toblen.
"Why of course," Toblen answered, "Are you any good?"
"Just watch me,"
Nonon went up to the piano. Her performance check came out to a 15 with modifiers. It was lackluster by her standards but the patrons enjoyed the music nonetheless.
"Well, if there are ruffians running around town, I'll stand watch too," Uzu suggested, "I only need to meditate for four hours to get a nice long rest and I'm sure Gred could use the help,"
"Gred?" Gamagori said.
"Consider it your nickname," Uzu said.
The two walked out of the inn and went to the carts to rest.
"How much for a room?" Satsuki asked.
"That would be one gold per room," Toblen replied.
Sildar put a single gold coin down on the counter and the innkeeper gave him his key.
"Good night everyone, it's been a long day," Sildar yawned, "I promise I will get you all that 5 gold tomorrow,"
"Can I sleep with you Ryu- I mean Robin?" Nui asked.
"I don't see why not," Robin replied.
"And while we're in there, why don't we-,"
"Awesome! Can I join too? It'll be like a sleepover!" Mako interrupted. Much to Nui's disappointment.
"Not tonight," Ryuko answered to Nui.
"I have more than enough money to afford my own room," Satsuki stated. She handed a gold piece to Toblen and received her room key as well.
"Guess that just leaves me and Lulu," Hoka said.
"What about me?" Mataro cried, "I only have five gold to my name!"
"Why don't you help Gred and Alwin watch the carts," Nui suggested.
"Yeah, and try not to steal shit this time," Ryuko warned.
"Alright, I'll go," Mataro sighed as he turned around and went to the cart.
The rest of the night went by without a hitch. Nonon made enough money in tips to cover her half of the room, the three guarding the cart encountered no problems, and Nui was a little sexually frustrated. Before everyone knew it, it was day time. The party settled down for a quick breakfast and went off to run errands in town.
"I'm going to go look for leads on these Redbrands," Gamagori stated, "With my City Watch background, I should have a decent idea of where to begin looking,"
"While you do that, I'll return the supplies to the Lionshield Coster," Satsuki replied.
"With all do respect Gredhall," Hoka started, "These ruffians aren't our responsibility. Perhaps we should go talk to this Harbin Wester fellow,"
"I was just about to go down to the Townmaster's Hall myself," Sildar said, "I wouldn't mind the company,"
So with that, Hoka, Nonon, and Sildar went to the Townmaster's Hall. Ryuko, Satsuki, and Nui took the cart down to the Lionshield Coster to collect an award. All the while, Gamagori, Mako, Uzu, and Mataro snooped around to find a lead on the Redbrands themselves.
Hoka and Nonon, along with the NPC Sildar, went down to the Townmaster's Hall. The three entered the building and were met by a secretary.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wester isn't taking any visitors right now," The receptionist waved off.
"Listen here lady, we-," Nonon started.
"That won't be necessary Lulu," Sildar stated, "Ma'am, I am a member of the Lords' Alliance, I've come here to bring law and order to the town of Phandalin anyway I can. I'm also here to find any leads on a missing companion of mine, Iarno Alberk. He went missing about two months ago,"
"I-Iarno, I don't know who you're talking about," the receptionist claimed.
"Ted," Hoka whispered, "I suspect something is off with this woman,"
"Rolling insight...17," Ted stated, "She certainly seems flustered, like she is perhaps hiding something,"
"Ma'am, I believe you have an obligation to let us see Mr. Wester," Hoka said, "It seems as though you have information that could be useful to us,"
"I told you, he's not accepting visitors," She continued.
Nonon went forth and began to tell the lady off. "Alright bitch, here's the deal. We are part of a group of adventurers who defeated the Goblins up north. Goblins that were attacking supplies that were going to this town. Give us a chance to speak with the guy or I swear to the gods I will bust this violin across your skull!"
"Rolling intimidation...18," Ted ruled.
"O-okay, no need to get violent Miss," The receptionist shuddered, "Just give Mr. Wester a moment. He is in a meeting with someone right now,"
"This early?" Hoka wondered.
Just as he said that, a man walked out of Mr. Wester's office. He was wearing heavy armor, a red cloak, and looked like one of the people that Bob had kidnapped from Assassination Classroom.
"Wait, just out of character for a bit," Hoka started, "Aren't you one of those Assassination Classroom guys that just arrived,"
"Yes," The man said in a stern voice, "The name is Karasuma, but here I'm… well you aren't supposed to know yet,"
"Sorry for the interruption, please continue walking away while ignoring us," Nonon sassed.
The man did just as she said and walked off. The three walk into the room and meet with a fat, well-to-do looking human at his desk.
"What might you three want?" The man asked, "I specifically requested no visitors,"
"My gnome friend thinks you know what happened to my human friend's associate," Nonon accused, "Does the name Iarno Albrek ring a bell?"
"Oh, straight to the point then," Mr. Wester said, "What fiesty little half-pints,"
"Answer the question," Nonon insisted.
"Lulu," Sildar interrupted, "There is no need to press so hard,"
"It's quite alright," Mr. Wester assured, "Last I've heard, he went to scout out Tresendar Manor. That was two months ago, I suspect the Redbrands got him. It's a shame, truly is,"
Hoka rolled insight again. He got a 22. "I'm not buying it," Hoka pressed, "You know more than you let on. What happened?"
"That's all I know, I swear," Mr. Wester insisted.
Lulu put her hand on her rapier. "Alston, shut the door,"
"Lulu, what are you-,"
"Do it,"
Hoka shuts the door leading to the office. Nonon then jumps onto the desk and pulls out her rapier, holding it in a threatening fashion.
"Listen here lardass. My man thinks you have some intel that you are obviously withholding. I'm may be small, but guess what, I'm a bitch! I have a lot of anger issues that I am just waiting to release on the next person that crosses me," She presses the point of the blade against his neck, just enough for him to feel the tip's sharpness, "Don't be that person,"
"Holy shit," Ted remarked, "Nat 20, you crazy bitch. You see the man tremble in his chair and you smell the scent of urine as he pisses his fucking pants!"
"Alright, I'll tell you everything!" Mr. Wester cried, "I-I've been taking bribes from the Redbrands! It's hush money because I know who their leader really is. You see, Iarno is the leader! He started the Redbrands! I figured it out and he bribed me to keep quiet! They're based out of the ruins of Tresendar Manor! Please don't hurt me!"
"Pathetic," Nonon scoffed.
"Damn," Sildar commented, "I'm impressed!"
"We got our lead boys, let's go," Nonon hopped off the desk and left the man to cry on his desk.
Over at the Lionshield Coster, Ryuko, Nui, and Satsuki just received their payment for returning the cargo, 50 gold pieces. The woman who ran the store, a human woman by the name of Linene Graywind was very thankful and offered a discount to the party in the future. As the women walked out of the shop. They could see smoke coming from the other side of town.
"We weren't even here for a day, and yet we manage to set the town on fire," Senketsu sighed in Infernal.
"Yeah, I should have expected it," Ryuko replied back in the same language.
"We have to go help them!" Nui exclaimed.
The three girls ran to the burning building as quick as they could.
Five minutes earlier...
"So, where to?" Mataro asked while riding his wolf, Guts.
"I suspect that the abandoned Manor at the edge of town may be a possible hideout. But we are more likely to find leads at the nearest rundown watering hole," Gamagori explained.
"Worst case scenario, we get to stop in for a drink," Uzu smiled.
"At nine in the morning?" Gamagori asked.
"What! I don't question the degenerate sounding things you and Mako do next door, don't get onto me for day-drinking Mr. Bondage Paladin," Uzu snapped.
"Oh, by the way," Mako spoke up to Gamagori, "How about we-,"
"You were turned into a teenager," Gamagori interrupted, "It would go certainly go against my paladin oath,"
"Awwww," Mako whined.
"Ew," Mataro said.
The party of four plus a wolf and a baby cocatrice found their way in front of a rundown tavern called The Sleeping Giant. Gamagori was sure this would be a good place to check.
"Shouldn't we get the others," Mako asked.
"No need, with our increased strength, we should be able to handle a few drunken ruffians if things go south," Gamagori stated.
They walked into the messy tavern and were met piercing glares from the patrons.
"Aren't you the guys from-," Uzu started.
"Yes! We are the people that asshole just kidnapped an hour ago," A busty blonde woman said in frustration from behind the counter, "We're set pieces for your stupid nerd game. Speaking of which, what brings you people here?"
"I suspect that one of you can tell us about the Redbrands, relay this information to us, and you will walk away unharmed," Gamagori demanded.
"Yeah, like anyone would do that," Uzu scoffed.
"We can't do that," said a strong looking student from the kidnapped group, who was playing one of the ruffians, "You might as well try to fight us, if not, get lost!"
"You asked for it," Uzu taunted.
"Roll initiative!" Ted declared.
The blonde rolled the highest on initiative and went first. While she seemed like a simple barmaid, she was really some kind of magic user. She made Gamagori fail a wisdom save and suddenly found that he was stuck in his place. She was a skilled sorceress as it turns out, because she had used quickened spell to cast that hold person spell. She then threw an firebolt t at him. The fire burned with extreme intensity, dealing maximum damage to Gamagori.
"I can take your punishment evildoer! Punish me! I dare you!"
"I-is he getting turned on by this," asked another one of the Assassination Classroom ruffians, who had been eating a bowl of ramen.
"Yeah, that's his thing," answered another ruffian with a buzzcut.
"Gross," said yet another, more stoic ruffian wearing a headband.
"Spark, you're up," Ted announced.
Mako rolls over to the table where three ruffians are within range. She put her hands out and they lit on fire
"Burning Hands!" She yelled. The two closest to her were burned pretty bad while the furthest one was only partly scathed. As soon as the spell was cast, she found herself teleported next to the woman behind the counter, "Hi there,"
"How did you get there!" The woman bitched.
"How did she get there," Ted repeated while winking to the viewer.
Mataro rode in on his trusty wolf and thrust his rapier into a heavily burned ruffian. The blow lands straight into his chest and through his heart, killing him.
"Damn kid!" yelled the raman eating ruffian, "You just killed Okajima! You'll pay!"
He ran up to Mako and swung his sword twice, the first one missed but he was able to land a second strike on Guts, dealing 5 out of 11 damage. The stoic, headband ruffian pulled back on his shortbow and fired at Mataro, dealing max damage. As he went in for a second attack, he rolled a 1. The string on his bow broke and it was useless. On the other side of the tavern, he big, angry ruffian went in to attack Gamagori while he was stuck. Both attacks landed and Gamagori was knocked unconscious with the final blow. The spell that was casted on him deactivated and he fell to the floor. The final ruffian, toward the counter, fired two arrows at Uzu. This brought the monk down to 5 out of 17 health.
Gamagori's spectral ghost rolled his death save. To his horror, he had rolled a 1. One more fail and he is dead.
"This ain't looking too good," Ted commented, "It's up to you Alwin,"
Uzu went up to the man who took Gamagori down and slashed him. The blade hit him in the shoulder fairly deep, but he was still in.
"Flurry of Blows!" Uzu yelled. With that, he went for a quick punch and kick. The punch knocked him in the face and hit almost as hard as the sword slash. Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for the kick. He rolled a 1 and as he went to kick him, he rolled his ankle. He managed to pass the dex save to not fall prone, but his future movement was hindered.
"This is getting pretty easy," The blonde remarked. She casted Misty Step and appeared at the doorway of the tavern. Then she pulled out a crossbow and fired at Mako, dealing minimal damage.
Mako jumped from behind the counter and casted another Burning Hands. This attack hit the man directly in front of her as well as Gamagori's attacker, killing him. At this point, with two uses of burning hands used inside, the building was on fire. At least wild magic made her smell like lavender for the next six days.
"Can I send Guts to save Gama, I mean uh… the big paladin guy!" Mataro asked.
"Well, Bones is smarter than all of you," Ted noted, "I also rolled your initiative based on his dexterity modifier. I'll allow it and Guts can have his own turn in the turn order,"
"But first, I'll stab this guy," Mataro shouted. He stabbed his other attacker, piercing his lung and killing him, "Go Bones! Save him!" Guts ran over to Gamagori's body and got ready to do chest compressions.
"Alright Bones," Ted started, "You may be smarter than everyone here, but you are still a wolf. I'm giving you disadvantage on this medicine check. If you can get 10 or above, he'll be fine," Ted rolled the two dice, a 2 and a 1, "Oh boy… since you are a wolf and wolves do not know any first aid, you claw at his chest until Gredhall succumbs to his injuries,"
"Wait! I'm dead!" Gamagori shouted as his image faded from the world.
"Gamagori's dead!" Mako sobbed.
"Maybe we shouldn't have sent the dog to revive him!" Uzu shouted.
The two remaining Ruffians were up next. The burned ruffian by Mako disengaged and went toward Uzu to slash the weakened monk with his sword. Uzu was able to swiftly dodge the attack. On the other side, the stoic ruffian, with his bow broken, ran at the goblin and attacked. His string of bad luck continued as he missed the first swing and rolled another 1 on the next. This left him open for a free attack by Mataro, which he took full advantage of. He stabbed his attacker in the neck, dealing just enough damage to kill him.
"You're doing really well," Ted complemented Mataro.
"He just sent the wolf to do back-alley first aid!" Uzu stressed. As he stabbed the final ruffian in the chest.
"This may have been a victory," The blonde started, "But was it really worth it," Then she looked down at the baby cocatrice that was left outside for this whole fight, "What's with the chicken?"
"Squack!"
"Whatever," the blonde scoffed, "Burning Hands!"
She casted it at the door way, effectively sealing the survivors in the building. Uzu fails his dex save to avoid the brunt of the damage and goes down on top of Gamagori's body. The fires grew bigger and the smoke began to cloud the room. Mako ran over to stabilize Uzu while Mataro looted Gamagori's money pouch and manacles.
"Is there a way out?" Mako panicked.
"Both of you roll perception...with disadvantage due to the smoke," Ted said calmly.
The highest roll in the room was a 5. All other possible exits were obscured by smoke or covered in flames.
"Damn smoke," Mataro yelled, "We have to go through the fire!"
"But what about Alwin?" Mako asked.
"We have no other option! It's the only thing we can see!" Mataro hopped onto Guts. "Pick up the elf and let's go!"
Mako picked up Uzu and they all went through the flames. With the exception of Bones, who was on his last health point, everyone made it out relatively okay. Just as the came out of the building, the Lionshield Coster Party regrouped with them.
"What the hell is wrong with you guys?" Ryuko screamed, "You think having Gama- I mean Gredhall with you would keep you out of trouble but no! Of course it doesn't!"
"He's dead," Mako wepted.
"What?" Nui asked.
"Gamagori's dead!" Mako cried. Some magic lady held him still and the r-ruffians hacked him to bits!"
"Good, she's not mentioning the fact I killed him," Guts said to Mataro, the only creature who could understand wolf.
"It was foolish for Gredhall to take on the Redbrands with half of the party," Satsuki remarked, "Ted, what happens to Gamagori now?"
"I don't know, new character or he's out of the session for good," Ted answered, "I'll think about it,"
"What the hell happened here?" Nonon shouted as the three others came running to them.
"Gredhall's dead," Satsuki said bluntly.
"That idiot! Charging into a crime den head on like that! What did he think was going to happen?" Nonon ranted.
"Anyway, we have leads on the whole Redbrand situation," Hoka spoke up.
"Does this look like a good time to discuss this?" Ryuko shouted, "Save it for the inn tonight!"
"I don't think you will all be welcome at the inn anymore," Sildar mentioned.
"You look around and see the citizens of Phandalin gather around the burning tavern, while they are relieved to know that a common hangout spot for the Redbrands was destroyed. They also feared you and the possible retaliation that could follow,"
"I'm sorry," Sildar apologized, "I'm afraid I can't be associated with you for the time being. I have a reputation to keep with the Lords' Alliance. We can't be associated with arsonists,"
The party took themselves back to the inn. At the inn's front door, Toblen was standing outside looking at the fire down the road.
"Come here to burn my business down too," Toblen snarked, "As much as I hate those Redbrand scum, I can't harbor you all in my inn. I'd be on their list. I have a family to look after,"
"But I spoke to Harbin Wester!" Nonon blurted.
"More like threatened," Hoka quipped.
"He said he was taking bribes from the Redbrands! We know they are hiding out of Tresendar Manor! Let us rest up for the night and we'll take care of them early in the morning," Nonon requested.
Toblen sighed. "That fat bastard. Alright, just tonight. Eliminate the Redbrands and I'll be happy to do business with you in the future… do I smell lavender?"
"And with that, the session ends right here," Ted declared.
"That wasn't long at all!" Mako complained.
"Well, we did a lot," Ted assured. He brought everyone back to the table where they started. Gamagori, who had died in the game, was sitting slumped over on the table in a pool of his own blood.
"So you die in the game, you die for real?" Mataro asked.
"Bingo, but honestly, is death really that big of a deal anymore?" Ted asked, "Same time next week?"
"Hell yeah!" Nonon cheered, "I am a force to be reckoned with!"
I hope you all enjoyed this eventful session of Kill la Kill D&D. What should I do with Gamagori? Should I make him reroll a character, or should I just leave him out. You decide!
