Session 90 - Murder of Murderbirds Mean to Murder Murderous Murderer Murderers

So thanks for coming to our housewarming guys! It was mad fun.

Charles' summary of the session to be read as the summary guy in Dragonball Z:
CASE CLOSED ON CSI PENBROOKTONSHIRE. OUR BRAVE HEROES DISCOVERED THE WEDDING MURDERER WAS LITTLE MORE THAN A BUZZ. FROM THE BELLY OF MOBI THE AMOEBA, THAT'S LAST WEEK'S DIGEST. Onward our heroes went to a STRANGE VILLAGE hoping to get some treasure and fame. Little did they know they would end up SLEEPING ON THE JOB. Thankfully the ANGRY BIRDS got more than they bargained for when Jumfrozor PECKED them out of the air!

Bumper bonus GIANT RECAP to make up for lateness and also due to GIANT GROUP. See you next time!
And somebody grab that table before Douche McGee gets it again.

Events:

- Hoping to get to the bottom of the small town murder, the group splits up. (50 exp)
- One group heads to the Knight of Science's commandeered house, finding the confused remains of the Knight of Science's retinue still living there. (50 exp)
- The other group, including Lulu in gypsy garb, heads to the bookbindery where the new Bumblebee Bandit book is being printed. (50 exp)
- On the way, Group One meet Brand Earthhammer who offers to be a lanternbearer for them. (50 exp)

- Group Two tries to gain entry to the bookbindery but is rebuffed. Lulu barges past the servant in the doorway and OH NO THERE'S A GYPSY IN THE BUILDING (50 exp)
- Meanwhile Zan heads down the hill a bit to chat with a local and meets the mysterious Sophia. (50 exp)
- Back with Group One, Jain dresses up in Soldier of Science armour and heads into the house with Stabbington. The priest, questioned about his involvement with the Knight, seems baffled and confused. (50 exp)
- Eleyn, also with group one, sneaks round to the other door and sees the Squire cryiNNiiiiiiiinfhhh(5hhh0exp)hhh
- Eleyn, also with group one, sneaks round to the other door and sees the Squire's empty room, including a locked chest. She and Nora nab it. (50 exp)
- Jain's pretense at being a Soldier of Science is seen through due to her obviously being a Dwarf. The other soldiers, suspecting foul play, try to murder her. (50 exp)- Things have gotten messy back with Group 2. Lulu's horrid kazoo playing allows her to nip into the back room and find all the newly bound Bumblebee Bandit books. (50 exp)
- Charmington has legged it by this point, chased by a small mob. (50 exp)
- Back at the Knight's house, Jain and Stabbington have killed off most of the soldiers. The priest and the last remaining soldier flee. (50 exp)
- Lulu grabs a couple of big illuminated bibles and legs it towards the Knight's house, seeing the fleeing priest and nailing him and his buddy with a thrown bible. They fall. (50 exp)
- Zan, Eleyn and Nora, meanwhile, have dressed in priestly robes and taken the chest to the husband of the deceased's house. (50 exp)
- After questioning the nice-but-slow guy about the murder, somebody finally opens the chest to discover a blood-stained bumblebee bandit costume! The murder was the Squire... who unfortunately died and was eaten some time ago. (50 exp)
- Lulu spares the priest after a moment of GREAT INTENSITY, philanthropically giving him 30 gold pieces to fix up the Church. (50 exp)
- Finally rejoining, the party heads out of town at a fairly rapid pace. Our heroes have significantly increased the number of murders in Pembrooktonshire in their pursuit of justice. (50 exp)
- Deciding to check out Lulu's map, the party travels towards the Grinding Gear, a tavern built by a man with a notoriously complicated attitude towards adventuring types. (50 exp)
- A statue in the middle of the courtyard is surrounded by dead creatures in various states of decay. Mostly goblins, but also wolves and humans, all with ominous puntures in their flesh. (50 exp)
- The chapel is investigated first, clearly heavily looted but dedicated to St McIver, patron saint of blacksmiths, tinkerers and inventors. A wooden statuette and a broken cremation urn are all that remain. (50 exp)
- The stables contain a single very weary and emaciated horse, owner nowhere to be seen. (50 exp)
- The inn itself also seems dilapidated and well-looted. The only thing of real note being a barrel of old food in the pantry and a strange little red bird seen flitting from the roof. (50 exp)
- Further investigations find a torture chamber in the basement. Ominous. (50 exp)
- Lulu decides to investigate the statue and is caught in a blast of sleeping gas when she finds the entrance to the dungeons beneath. She falls into a deep slumber. (50 exp)
- Attracted by the smell of gas, horrible red birds descend from the roof in their hundreds. It's feeding time! (50 exp)
- While Brand the Lanternbearer stands back laughing, the rest of the party rush in to help. (50 exp)
- Most significant contributions are Jumurak with a whirling Magic Missile punch blender, and Eleyn whipping out the flamethrower and setting the hole in the roof where the birds live on fire. (50 exp)
- True to form the inn is now very much on fire. Yet another problem solved through fire! With the birds dead and/or well cooked, the party collects themselves and stands back as the fire climbs merrily higher. (50 exp)
