Session 92 - I Only Die Organ-ic

Well that was fun... for me. I'm glad I get to reset my internal "Sessions since last death" counter, how will I keep my DM rep otherwise?! Charles' CHEESY SUMMARY MAN Recap: Following last session's STICKY SITUATION with Mobi's slime mould cousins, another electrifying episode this week sees our heroes CHASING THE LIGHTNING in hopes for treasure! Dreams are crushed however when the loot is actually just some RAINY DAY PENNIES. After trying out their musical skills, the session comes to a close with AN EXPLOSIVE ENDING. Will our brave heroes ever escape with their treasure box penny jar? And will they ever get all the bits of dead explorer brain out of their hair? STAY TUNED for next episode of "I'm stuck in a dungeon and I can't get out"!

Explored 20 dungeon rooms (400 exp)
- 6 secret doors discovered (300 exp)
Total: 900 exp

Events:

- Between sessions, the party manages to meet up near where the gelatinous cube was AND somehow lose notable damage-sponges Stabbington and Jain. Trepidation is felt. (50 exp)
- Descending some steps, the party finds a door telling them the true test of their skills has just begun. Lovely. (50 exp)
- Spiral stairs are within, and lo! The room below seems to match Lulu's map! (50 exp)
- Following the map, a secret door is discovered. A magical trap specified on Lulu's map is inspected by way of a blindfolded scout and Guido, who gives a rundown of the wall murals. (50 exp)
- Ignoring the trap room, the party continues into what the map calls a false tomb. Indeed, Lulu's death sight mask shows a different person to the guy's statue outside. (50 exp)
- In an annex off the room, a plundered secret treasure room! Some bits of broken box are taken, as are a few coins accidentally left by whoever the looters were. (50 exp)
- The map says secret doors to the north. True! Albeit they're already solved. Lulu manages to luck her way through the answers using the murals of Richrom's life and some clever guesswork, albeit getting zapped by lightning for each wrong answer (50 exp)
- At the end of the corridor, a tomb where the REAL corpse has been looted already. Or so it seems... Lulu's death mask shows her it's also not the real guy. What the fuck, man. (50 exp)
- With the place checked out and mostly looted, things seem bad. Eleyn laments the historical accuracy of pre-looted tombs. (50 exp)
- One choice remains - the star chamber with the alleged magical trap. Turns out there's no trap... but a secret door is found in there too. (50 exp)
- Inside, an offering bowl. Leaving some coins on it results in a rumbling sound. Inspection reveals a brass hand emerging from the wall in the looted treasure room. (50 exp)
- The hand is both pointing to the opposite wall and looking invitingly in need of a handshake. Nora complies, getting zapped by the giant joy buzzer to within an inch of her life. (50 exp)
- Helpfully the hand was pointing out a SECRET DOOR in the looted treasure room. Unfortunately there is a big ol' spider in the way. Eleyn slams in with the big Gambit and murders the poor arachnid. (50 exp)
- Inside the secret bit, a chest BRIMMING WITH COINS! Celebrations are slightly curtailed when it's discovered to contain 10,000 copper coins which represent a difficulty in transportation. (50 exp)
- Somewhat disappointed, the crew head up the spiral stairs to leave. And discover there is NO WAY OUT. The corridor has been blocked by a significantly large piece of sliding masonry. (50 exp)
- Contemplating their slow deaths by starvation, Nora feels a slight breeze in the first downstairs room, finding yet another secret door! (50 exp)
- The room at the end features buttons and levers. Trying out all the combinations for a while results in a secret door opening! Inside, a blocked escape tunnel. Brill. (50 exp)
- Luckily the other secret door is found right next to it, opening into a room with chairs surrounding a large organ. A plaque on the north wall exhorts the party to play the right music. (50 exp)
- Several different pieces are attempted with mixed results, until Gashbringer decides to just mash the keys. There is a large explosion. He does not survive. (50 exp)
- Nora is unfortunately also caught in the blast. Eleyn, out of the room, barely hears her final scream. (50 exp)
- Sophia manages to survive... barely. Unconscious, bleeding out, and with a bit of organ pipe piercing a lung, she's in a bad way. Fortunately Zan's quasi-godly healing powers bring her back from the brink. (50 exp)
- Behind the now-exploded organ is a plaque reading "Ha ha the door was open the whole time". Disgruntlement ensues. (50 exp)
- Behind said door is a series of puzzle rooms, unsolved. Somehow Zan remembers Richrom's wife's name, Lulu grabs the guy's full name from a previous false tomb, and guesses the number of guest rooms at the Grinding Gear based on the previous king's entourage puzzle. Cracking stuff. (50 exp)
- The final chamber (including a broken-open sarcophagus) is briefly explored. Gilded tapestry rods are removed from the ceiling and mirrored corridor ends are found, and everything is really rather mysterious. Where the fuck is the exit?! (50 exp)
Total: 1200 exp

Misc:

- Absolutely Disgusting bonus (50 exp)
- Balls to the Wall bonus (50 exp)
