Session 11: Is Everyone Always Tripping at Mage Tower Games?
General Summary
We're playing a game called hex hex with Piper Lilu and her friends. We all teamed up on Piper's friend Sal Lilith so he would go out in the first round. It worked! The Failures all live to see another round, and Night , being the healthiest despite taking the most missile got a prize from Piper at the end of the first round. No not that kind of prize. She got to draw a prize item out of Piper's bag - she drew a molotov cocktail - wtf. This Piper chick is spicy.
The next round is off and Night is the first to be hit. We teamed up on sexy goblin lady next. She doubled the missle at one point and Cillian sent it right back into her face. She started tripping balls after that and thought it was raining. I claimed the prize for this round - it was a vibrator that also doubles as a knife. I feel like this thing will get a lot of use. Apparently you have to cut stuff for it to vibrate, so I'm probably gonna get into cheese sculpting now.
We played another round. It was tense, because we were all low on health. Night lost this round and she was cursed, but she didn't seem to get the same rain curse Piper got. I have no idea what the fuck is going on but she threw her molotov cocktail at Cathia and Skoldreg. They were able to jump out of the way, luckily. Night immediately ran away to her parents. She is totally freaking the hell out.
Cathia and Cillian both got to pull a prize out of the bag of holding. Cathia pulled an amazing bauble that seems to hold its own world inside. It's actually really beautiful. I'd put it on my Winter's Crest tree if I had won it. Cillian got a pocket watch that shows the time on different planes. It's really cool, but it makes a lot of weird ass noises. We talked to Piper for a while, but she is still tripping out about thinking it's raining. She told us she did a random handful of Dominque's drugs so honestly we don't know if this rain stuff is because she's high or because she's cursed from the game. Eventually we decided to meander on and see the rest of the pregame festival. As we were going, Piper sees a professor coming by and shoves the prize bag at Cillian telling him to hide it. It's a handy haversack and it still has some random shit in it. Cillian pulls another item out of the bag and this time it's a small jar filled with a salve that makes skin turn transparent. It's pretty legit.
Over across the field, Night is being consoled by her parents. We overhear her saying she thinks we've been turned into terrible monsters. She ran off in search of a professor. Skoldreg noticed Night was still having a bad time and went to talk to Naviask for help. Naviask came to talk to Night and she tried to convince him that Cillian had turned into an eight legged monster. He reached out his hand and suddenly Night was back to normal. We figured out she had thought we were all horrible crab monsters. I decided to write a new type of story about a lover that magically turned into a crab and it was horrifying but also kind of sexy. Then Cillian and I started talking about how to turn it into a book series where the next book involves a crab orgy - Skoldreg suggests we call it crustacean infatuation. It's an excellent title, but I worry it may make people think the book is PG. I don't want to get sued by a bunch of pearl clutching parents. In the Shadowfell if you lose a lawsuit, they cut off your toes. Unless it's like a major lawsuit, and then it's your wings. I don't know how they do things here, but I'm not really trying to find out.
Anyway, Cillian and I noticed our parents talking. We talked about how fucked up both of our families are and how we would be better off without them. It's bullshit what's going on with his dadmaster person, but it is nice to have a friend who gets what it's like to come from a shitty family. Anyway, as we were talking, Rampart came rushing up and seemed to be freaking out about something. There's a lot of freaking out going on today. I wondered if he'd been into Dominique's drugs too. But after we talked to him for a bit, we figured out he was legitimately upset because all of the familiars for the Mage Tower game had suddenly disappeared. He said he was just talking to his friend and the familiars went missing. There was only about 10 minutes until the game started at this point, so it was kind of a big deal that the familiars be found, and fast. Rampart went off to continue to look for them. Cathia told us that while we were all chatting Rampart up she noticed some shitty music that sounded like someone who didn't make it at band tryouts practicing and a trail of familiars running off into the forest.
We decided to check it out and as we got close to the mass of familiars I shouted to ask them where they were going. They didn't answer but the music stopped then. A creepy masked looking guy came out of the shadows and saying he was the pied piper and we were too big to be there. I guess he's some sort of paedo or something. He started fighting us. I fired off a seeking orb, and then he threw some psychedelic shit out at us making all of us space out except Night. Night threw a molotov cocktail at the creeper. But that seemd to inspire him to start shit talking. He started taunting Night and it upset her really bad. I'm not exactly sure how or what happened since I was still tripping out from his stupid little pattern spell. I think some rats came up out of the ground around this point and tried to bite Cathia, but that may have been a hallucination. It's hard to say. I think Night released a honey badger from her bag at this point, too, but again, still not sure it's not a hallucination. My orb blew up on this guy, but I couldn't even enjoy it because I was busy tripping my face off. I think Night got out that giant elk of hers at this point.
Eventually one of Night's animals got us all woken up so we weren't tripping ass any more. We started beating on the creeper and the rats, which did turn out to be real. Night got her direwolf out at this point. It was a damn animal party up in there. I kept throwing out orbs at the guy, while Night's animals beat on him. Finally Cillian delivered the killing blow on this creepy piper dude. We searched his body and found a black glass orb used for scrying. Cathia immediately recognized what it was and even saw some visions in it. She said it only showed you things you probably shouldn't see and said something about needing to bleach her eyes. She's so smart and good at magic stuff. We also found a unicorn horn on this guy. I proposed that we make a strap on for Alan Dracula so he could wear the horn to gore bad guys with. Perhaps inspired by all the looting, Skoldreg decided to pull out the last mystery item from the handy haversack Piper gave us. He pulled out a skull that Night identified to be a lucky kobold skull.
That's all for now. We've got to get these familiar's to the Mage Tower Game.

Rewards Granted
The Quick Carver - A large very sharp vibrator knife. When the blade meets resistance, it begins to vibrate to aid in cutting. This may allow the knife to cut through harder objects or to cut through more material faster. The strength of this vibration is random though. When a character uses this knife roll a D20 -5 to determine the vibration's DC. The character must roll a Slight of Hand (DEX) save against this DC. On a failed save the character or another nearby creature or object takes 1d6 slashing damage at the DM's discretion. WARNING - It is not advised to sheath this knife.
Astral Pocket Watch - tells the exact time in current location and the time on the astral plane, seems to be connected to the Abyss
Lucky Kobold skull - once per day reroll a d20
Dark Scrying Glass - only shows things that are better left unseen
Unicorn horn
Otherwordly bauble - bauble that looks as though there is a miniature universe inside. Looking into the bauble for too long can cause short-term madness, though tieflings are strangely immune.
