Sessions 1-3

SESSION 1:
Crandor Cramborsson, proprietor of the The Chainmail Bikini, Micellanium's premier (and only) dwarven burlesque bar, puts out a call for aid from adventurers. The six pedigree copperhold steak rats he had ordered in had vanished down a hole that had explosively appeared in the floor of his basement, and he was offering a bounty for their return.

Nyx (gnome rogue), Saprax (dragonborn paladin), Rock (firbolg druid), and Hungers-Without-Thought (tabaxi warlock) volunteer to venture down the hole and get the rats back. Some hours later, Nyx and Hungers-without-thought drag the bleeding an unconcious forms of Saprax and Rock out the hole, along with a small treasure chest. HUngers-without-thought brags to anybody who will listen that he is "the nightmare of goblins" and that his friends killed one of the three goblin chiefs. The rats are still missing.

SESSION 2:
hearing that the hole/rats situation is as-yet unsolved, another group ventures below the Bikini - Mary (half-elf bard), Valkus (drow rogue), Mystery (tiefling warlock), Fia (teenage human barbarian), and Solomon (human paladin). They return bearing the bodies of a steak rat (stabbed) and also Valkus (horribly blistered and slightly decomposed). After a meagre funeral is held for Valkus, his brother Vallus (also a drow rogue) swears he will make the inhabitants of the dungeon pay, and the party including the second rogue travel below again. When they return to the surface once-more they are battle-scarred, but alive.

SESSION 3:
Nyx, Saprax, Rock and Hungers-without-Thought are joined by Farrow (gnome ranger), and venture into what is henceforth known as the Goblin Warren. When they return, they are carrying a moderate amount of treasure and all the missing steak rats.

During post-adventure carousing the story comes out that the party explored the eastern edge of the Warren, found and fought some of the rats, then fought off an attempted pincer movement by the goblins. After the last several expeditions, the goblin numbers (previously quite threatening) seem to have been dramatically reduced, and one of the goblin chiefs had resorted to dosing goblins up with potions that made them explode when they died. Heading south-west they found the last of the steak rats in the goblins' prison, before finally heading north into the middle of the warren. In a final confrontation, Hungers walked into the centre of the goblins living area and scared most of them into fleeing, including one of the chiefs, a goblin notable for wearing a massive ornate codpeice with small wings on it. The only goblin not to flee was the mushroom-hatted goblin chief, who the party killed after a long-drawn out battle. Looting the goblin village they managed to find a bag of coin, smorgasbord (sporegasbord?) of dried mushrooms and two magical items - the robe of tongues and the rock of gravity detection.

The party thrown by the adventurers was impressive and involved the consumption of a significant portion of the mushrooms they brought from the dungeon. Sadly, Nyx got in a vicious fight, and Farrow became smitten with somebody as yet unknown...

ROLL OF THE DEAD: Valkus (Drow Rogue).
