===Episode 136 - You Only Sting Once === ====The Party==== ([[Commander Holly|Holly]]) [[Strix]] - Tiefling Sorcerer ([[ProJared]]) [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] - Human Rogue ([[Nathan Sharp|Nathan]]) [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] - Human Bard ([[Anna Prosser Robinson|Anna]]) [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] - Human Paladin of Lathander This show is from PAX East 2019. [[Kate Welch]] is the DM of this session. ==== Invitation to a Funeral ==== It is around mid-day at the Waffle House and the mail has arrived. [[Strix]] has a letter. According to it, [[Rosie Beestinger]] has died and the funeral is today. It is from Anjolio Beestinger. He asks the group to avenge her death. It lists the prime suspects: * Ms. Pheasant * Rear Admiral Ketchup * Instructor Indigo * Priestess Prune [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] goes over the letter, checking for clues. There is a note that says [[Rosie Beestinger|Rosie]] did not want to be resurrected. ==== Investigating the Murder ==== The group heads to the Singing Sword tavern. There are hundreds of mourners, and they all seem to be sincerely saddened. Inside, the group hears a guy named Instructor Indigo bragging that he can out-drink anyone. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] sighs. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] loses the first round, but wins the second. Indigo promises to share a secret with him once this is done. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] wins the third round, and he has gained a new best friend. Indigo points out a secret door in the tavern that leads to Indigo's secret lair. Indigo says that [[Rosie Beestinger|Rosie]] booked passage on Rear Admiral Ketchup's vessel the day before she died. The heroes head to the temple of Selune to talk with Priestess Prune. She has a very similar accent as [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]]'s. She asks the group to pray to Selune, preferably in the nude. [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] and Prune debate which deity is more important. They end up having a pray-off. Prune wins the pray-off by a single point. [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] loses the second round as well. On the third round, [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] gives [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] bardic inspiration. Anna rolls a natural 20 and gets a total of 31. She follows up by trying to convert Prune and actually rolls another natural 20. Prune tells [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] that Rosie was going to pray to Selune, but she was waylaid before she got to the temple. Rosie wasn't pious, so it's a bit unclear why she was going to the temple. The heroes leave the temple. A tall woman, Ms. Pheasant, in the crowd of mourners spots [[Strix]] and approaches her. Pheasant tells [[Strix]] that she is beautiful. Pheasant knows about the swarm of rats and loves her pies. Pheasant wants to have a swarm of rat-off. If Pheasant wins, [[Strix]] has to go get a drink with her. [[Strix]] becomes 9 rats. Pheasant becomes 10 rats. [[Strix]] uses an ability to enhance her results and gain 2 more, winning the first round. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] ''counterspells'' the other attempts, ensuring that [[Strix]] wins. Pheasant claims that Indigo said that the followers of Selune were werewolves. Pheasant runs a business. She sells spell scrolls. She has a scroll of ''polymorph'' for 1,000 gp. Ms. Pheasant leaves. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] tries to put all of the stories together. [[Strix]] is still dwelling on Ms. Pheasant. The group goes into the bar again and spots Rear Admiral Ketchup, who is about 7 feet tall. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] approaches him and is snubbed. [[Strix]] hits him in the back and tells him not to be rude. [[Strix]] tries to intimidate him and rolls a 27. Ketchup wants to play [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] in dragonchess. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] claims [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] can win blindfolded. [[Strix]] tears off a piece of her dress and makes sure that [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] can see through it. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] wins the game. Ketchup tells [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] that on the day that she died, Rosie was on her way to the temple of Selune, and she had bought a scroll of protection that backfired on her in some way. Ketchup points out that of all of Rosie's children, Strix is the most powerful, and it would be likely that [[Strix]] could take Rosie's place if she wanted. ==== The Killer Revealed ==== The adventurers decide to track down Ms. Pheasant in the market square. [[Strix]] awkwardly flirts with her and gets a scroll of fireball for free. Looking it over, [[Strix]] realizes tat if used, it would backfire catastrophically. Pheasant admits that she did it. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] signals [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] to attack. He throws a molotov cocktail. Pheasant transforms from an elven woman into an enormous demon, a fiendish minotaur. The heroes begin to pummel her. The goristro strikes [[Strix]] a number of times, doing over 40 points of damage. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] casts ''banishment'', and the goristro fails its save. It returns to its home plane. [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] asks the other Beestingers around to help, then [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] drops concentration and the goristro reappears. The goristro gets a critical hit on [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]], doing over 80 points of damage and knocking him off a roof. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] gets a critical on the goristro, doing over 50 points. He dissects the living creature, raining down demon body parts on [[Strix]]. Sitting on the coffin is [[Rosie Beestinger]], who is not dead. She thanks the group and she says that one day, the family might be run by [[Strix]]. The Beestinger family owes the Waffle crew a favor. End of Session.{{Episode nav|state=expanded}}
