[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 9300610, member: 63"] This reminds me of when a friend ran a D&D campaign where we all had to play lizardmen. Our city of lizardmen was going to have a big Aztec-esque sporting event against other lizardmen to see if we could go to the championships, where they'd play the forces of the dead to keep the sun from being extinguished. We weren't playing the sport, though. Our mission was to appease the fire god of a distant volcano to ensure the jacuzzi the team used was the perfect temperature, and so we had to bring that volcano god offerings - two wagons full of humans. The damned humans kept trying to escape and would then get summarily caught by giant bats or inviso-panthers or whatever. The we came upon a trio of mind flayers working to extract the brain of a beholder, whose mindless body they proceeded to mount on a tall tree. When they spotted us, they got antsy that we'd tell someone they were setting up a pirate node to transmit the upcoming sporting game without making the necessary offering to the god of entertainment (i.e., they were pirating), but we got them to be cool by pretending we were a traveling snack cart: we traded a few humans for some weird psychic items they had. From there it was a pretty perfunctory ascent up a volcano to chuck a handful of mammalian humanoids into the lava. Then we backtracked, took the beholder head for ourselves, and smuggled it back into lizardman city to see if we could sell it. Covid hit sadly before the game could go any farther. [/QUOTE]
