Session 47: Kitchen Nightmares
General Summary
Kieran is sent off to finish his part in our mission. By the next day, he’s successfully poisoned the chefs aboard the treasure ship and has told the higher-ups about the backup staff he’s acquired. In preparation for this, me and Stabby give Amelia some lessons on cooking because all she can do is…“recreate” an egg. Come sunset, we’re donned in our disguises and Kieran arrives to lead us onto the ship. As we walk through one of the lower decks, we realize there’s more people onboard than we anticipated. We’re led to a room to meet with Admiral Ulrich and his captains, Elius and Warsaw.
Ulrich tells us that we’ll be cooking for 280 people, but right now, they want to see what we’re capable of in the kitchen. They task us with making a snack for us all to enjoy while getting to know each other. Once we’re dismissed and make sure we can’t be heard in the kitchen, we all have a brief moment of panic as we try to think of something worthwhile to make. Stabby, being the only professional chef here, decides that we’ll make caramelized apples and rice pudding. All of us get to work, except Amelia who would rather stand around arguing with Stabby because she doesn’t think this meal’s good enough.
She breaks away from the rest of us after getting threatened and starts cutting up apples, shoving chocolate and caramel onto the slices before putting them back together. Stabby is thoroughly disgusted and another argument ensues between the pair, only ending when Stabby does what they do best and stabs her. When she tries to sass them again, we all banish her to the corner for bad behavior. The food’s ready to be served, so me and TT set the table and notice that the admiral’s brought in a guest. It’s his butler, Haddie, and she’s been invited to try the food because they don’t trust us and want to make sure it isn’t poisoned.
When nothing nefarious happens to her, they’re satisfied and enjoy the meal, letting us know that we should be up by 5 in the morning tomorrow and have breakfast ready by 10. Unfortunately for us, Amelia doesn’t have enough poison for the entire crew, so our plan is steadily crawling out of the window yet again. Amelia desperately wants to use her reverse gravity spell to take out the masses, so TT suggests that she puts on a burlesque show with Inami. Surely that’ll draw a sizable crowd onto the top deck and when it does, she can cast the spell and send them all away.
That shouldn’t leave too many soldiers left to take out. Once they’re dealt with, we can make off with the ship and leads its guards to the ambush zone.
