Session 89 - The Knight of Science Burns a Valuable Lesson

With a whole TWO WEEKS in which to write this recap, I have managed to complete it with a whole THREE DAYS to go.

I will finish it with Charles' excellent blurb:
Last week in CSI Pembrooktonshire, Episode 3: the situation HEATS UP for the knight of science when Santa puts him on the NAUGHTY LIST! Meanwhile, Zan and Eleyne save some precious relics FOR THEMSELVES. They've certainly learned a trick or two from those GIPSIES!

Events:

- After the events of the previous session most of the party is scattered to the winds. The Knight of Science is pissed off. Stabbington pledges his services in finding the culprits to the Knight. (50 exp)
- Lulu, hiding in the woods with the rescued gypsy children, sends her dog to the safety of Clunge with the kids. (50 exp)
- Lulu meets with Zan and Eleyn  in the woods and a plan is hatched to free the imprisoned gypsies! She is dressed up like a gypsy, they in Science armour, and escorted to the prison (50 exp)
- Meanwhile Stabbington, Charmington and Reynard loot the fortune teller's wagon under the flimsy excuse of checking for evidence (50 exp)
- Lulu's group make it to jail and enter. Judge Dredd impersonation game strong. The notably scared jailer lets them do whatever. (50 exp)
- The gypsies are released under the pretence that the burning has been brought forward to TODAY! Cheering townsfolk form a crowd and follow through the city. Everyone loves a good burning! (50 exp)
- Stabbington's group, along with the Knight of Science, are attracted by the noise and begin walking into town. Uh oh. (50 exp)
- In an attempt to evade the crowd, the false Soldiers of Science take the gypsies into the Church and fool the priest. The crowd patiently wait outside. (50 exp)
- The group nips past the curtain into the chancel and find the body of the murdered girl lying in state. They nick her ring, some priestly robes, and anything that looks shiny. There is a lot that looks shiny. (50 exp)
- They then nip out the transept door, sending the gypsies off to Lulu's growing Clunge Honey Witness Protection Programme (50 exp)
- The Knight Approacheth! Lulu charges out as a distraction, leading the Knight and his retinue into a nearby cottage. (50 exp)
- The rest of the crew manage to rope the doors shut outside, preventing escape as Lulu enacts her master plan. (50 exp)
- Lulu reveals that she is Santa Claus. This is heretical anti-Science thinking and the Knight asks for proof. The family inside the cottage cower in their communal bed. (50 exp)
- Lulu zips up the chimney, kicking over the coals as she does so. The Knight and his retinue, along with the innocent family within, die screaming as the flames consume them. (50 exp)
