Twenty-sixth Session – Back in Weebrook, some Wormtongue type sorcerer named Sylle Ru is now in charge. We immediately subscribe to his newsletter.
This new wizard comes to visit us in the inn with some undead goons. Half of the party is Chaotic, and most of us hate in movies where some good supporting character sasses the bad guy and gets murdered instead of humoring him until they’re out of 9mm range, so we have a nice chat about his economic revitalization program.
The Duke has investigated thoroughly, there is nothing to fear from these supposed undead armies. In truth, the King is just sending us reinforcements to make our towns more secure. And then we can bring in those wretched villages and hamlets that have not been brought into our protection. And with that protection comes prosperity! There are so many nameless villages and communities of subhumans around.”
Podrick responds, “You’re right! I have been patrolling the area, and the subhumans are crying out for protection and discipline!”
Hemp is also on board, “Absolutely, there’s nothing more important than the economy. And how can you have so little pride in your community as to not even name it.”
Sylle Ru Is pleased that Podrick and Hemp are so enthusiastic.
But this doesn’t last long as Old Man Fish decides to assassinate the wizard. All hell breaks loose but we are nothing if not practical, as soon as the plan switches to “murder” we mob the guy.
And the Duke is freed! Apparently it “wasn’t his fault” he was sacrificing townspeople to placate the Black Dog but this guy’s. He says he’ll totally go back up Fythorp from the undead army that’s coming. His general pussiness and the ineffectiveness and numbers of his thanes make us dubious.
The rest of the time in town can be summed up loosely by Hemp as:
Hemp goes and tells the bartender that Gallfred drank a potion, encountered a demonic accountant who called him a “bummer”, and then he spent the rest of the night having sex with mutated horses.
No sooner do we leave than giant slugs attack. And a mutated cat monster. And a next quest, to go jack up some wizard named Glipkerio who’s messing with time. We like time! It’s… when I keep my stuff!
