Go east to find V.A.L.U.E (Feb 23rd)

Thanks to Mischief - @schwick , Sare - @Lobster , Guthrock - @Evil_Danvil , Eris - @IrisIris2000 and Dharax - @Dharaxas for getting involved in the Battle of the Be(ast)damns - leading to Gabby the Turkeys unfortunate demise and Lil’ Johnny the Cavebears emergence into the limelight.

After meeting the merchant Lufo, our plucky band of knaves were engaged to go to Torre del Mago and make sure Gabby the Turkey (five time champion) was unable to compete in the upcoming Battle of the Be(ast)damns - not fatally, just a brief unplanned holiday. Setting out along the coast aboard the Mis Fit with Edwige the Bewhiskered and crew, our band played cards, brewed potent tea and generally increased the crews existing good opinion of them. In conversation over cards they heard that the Battle of the Be(ast)damns is the source of all the best new insults and that everyone on the crew except the captain had figured out Lufo was besotted with Edwige. They arrived off the coast and were rowed ashore with a promise to be along the following night at sundown.

Hiking over a rocky spur to Torre del Mago our band arrives their late, makes their way to the Smockingbird tavern and then proceeds to incite the most roistering, rolicking night of carousing the village has ever seen. Waking up on rooves and seeing the sun rise in beached shipping boats our exhausted band partakes of Dharaxus gingery hangover cure before hiking around to the old garrison where the Band of the Rump laired. Effecting entry under the cover of the ongoing carousing of the Band of the Rump, they easily make it to Gabbys residence on the tower top before a flaw in their exit plan brings the dome and tower top down into the main hall, Gabby and band with them - to fatal effect for Gabby.

The furious Band of the Rump insist that a replacement for their champion Be-damner, compounded by their capture of Lufo who had been trailing the band.

Agreeing to this, the band hikes back to Torre del Mago to get nets and directions to Lil Johnny the Talking Bears lair, setting off for it immediately. Near the ruins, deep in the swamp the band is ambushed by a Sleech that bites off all of Dharaxus with a first bite but is then driven off and slain by the rest of the band. Arriving into the ruins the party finds a very grumpy Lil Johnny who demands to be left alone but is pummelled into submission and hauled back to the Band of the Rump to trade for Lufo.

After a day slogging about the swamp the band misses their appointment with the Mis Fit and overnights once more in Torre del Mago, launching another grand carouse that leads to Eris waking up married to one of the local tabaxi. Bringing them along, the band returns home to the Golden Cockerel with coin enough to replenish the wine and food stocks for a little longer.

Word comes sometime later that a furious Lil Johnny’s brutal insults swept the Battle of the Be(ast)damns.

You all net 22 gold and 9 silvers into your pockets from your payment from Lufo and the treasures you ‘reclaimed’ from Lil’ Johnnys lair.

Anyone who wants to add a write up of their adventure to the campaign log gets inspiration for their next Brancalonia adventure.

My new Drunk (Druid + Monk) character is Mick Rivers (and looks a bit like Val Kilmer) :grin:

All Hail our Great Lord Set :smiley: :pray:

Never had so much fun in a game with barely any combat encounters. Our fault btw xD we somehow avoided so many battles.

Thanks to my fellow adventurers and our awesome DM :blush: :heart:

Dharaas sold his Hide Armor and spent 10 Gold from his last adventure to buy a lot of ingredients. So for the next adventure every adventurer (especially ME) will start with a Rejuvenation Poiton (heal each round equal to players constitution modifier for 1 minute) and 1 Healing Tonic (heals 2d4+Con health) => here for everyone to check so noone accuses me of lying => Chemistry (5e Variant Rule) - D&D Wiki

that is homebrew and unless it is a story award specifically for xaoseed’s table not allowed in VALUE

@Jackfruitchilli and her +1

Thanks for playing at my table; hope you enjoyed.

While on a seemingly simple assignment, you were trapped inside an extradimensional mansion. But, through cunning, and some trial and error, you managed to escape back to your own plane of existence. Unfortunately, your contact died in the interplanar shuffle, so it’ll be a bit longer before you get what you originally came for. All is not for naught, however, as you have been rewarded by the Candlekeep scholars for services rendered.

Rewards:

Story Rewards (usable at my table): While exploring the finery of your new confines, you made a couple friends that decided to join you on your adventures. You each receive a Fairy Dragon companion. Though you’ll have to figure out who gets Amber and who gets Spark.

Happy to accomodate that at Brancalonia tables, noting it is not VALUE allowed.

This fits neatly with the Level 1 Distillery that previous knaves installed at the Golden Cockerel some time ago.
