You drank from the marilith-shaped samovar. The tea was strong and earthy, and just as it warmed your body, it has also awoken something within the darker recesses of your mind. Your sleeping thoughts are haunted by dark whispers and the caresses of a six-fingered hand.I had a strong group of seven. Calypso Wizard 8 elf. Athena Bard 6 elf. Eye My Foot Tippy Toe Paladin 5 Orc. Bramble Rogue 6 Human. Salami Wizard 5 Tabaxi. Constantine Sorcerer 3 Warlock 2 Dhampir. Hope I Live Rogue 5.Welcome Hope, Constantine, And Tippy Toe to Adventure League.The adventurers were taking a break from their wandering and settle in to the Birmingham Unicorn Bar. Most of the tables were taken but the bar was empty. Which should have warned them. Being the new faces in town, they got lots of offers and conversations.Constantine had to not so gently to Edward he was the dancing type. Tippy Toes had to nice get Judy address to send her an application to the apprentice adventuring guild, which did not exist but got the sixteen-year-old out his face. Hope was caging drinks from the local drunk Bill, and Fred the barkeep cut both them off after 20 shots of Elf Every Clear. Salami fur was soak as she listens the sob story of Sam. Calypso cast Tasha’s laughter on the edge lord Sue. Bramble had to listen to Bert who husband to be was murder by Bearstein Bears Biker gang. Athena was not impressed with the blow hard Elmo.Finally, to great applause and relief the duergar Fiddle Charlie arrived. Charlie, “Folks I just had a gig in Georgia where I got this new fiddle.” He started playing and the regulars started dancing. After an hour Bramble joined in. Strange that Charlie was taking a break. Neither were the dances. Some were red in the face.Calypso, “We should stop this. Something is wrong.” With that the Bearstein Bears Bikers arrive and they wanted to rumble. The paladin just played along with the bar fight. Until the bears drew steel and it got serious.Charlie played on, the dancers ignored the fight even when Bert was cut down. Salami tried killing Charlie but he ignored the first two shots. The third caught him in throat with the bolt passing through the violin. The music stops but the dancers were mad. Not angry mad, but get the huggy coat.After the clean up mayor Elanil hires the group to go to Zort the underdark town where the fiddle was made. Taking a long winter nap, they awake to sugar canes and cocoa due to the mad ones eating all the roast beast.They choose raft from the way to get down the waydown creek. With Tippy Toe with his face all aglow due to the work out, he halts the raft just across the beach from some Kuo-toa.Shagah, “Hello surface sun worshippers. Are you minions of the great mind flayer menace? Friends or foes of deep dwarves?” in Undercommon.DM, “Don’t even make that joke!” he glared at the table.Hope, “Foes. There fiddler Charlie crashed a party and caused great suffering. Why are you building a barricade? Can we help?”After a long hour work, the group is given a friendship bracelet, and the correct way to Zort. Two hours later, the group hear deep dwarves talking about who is the best saint of “Dewrah”. Since they don’t look too friendly when one demands they worship him, Calypso drops a fireball on most of them. Salami shoots one of them and notices some of blood splatter disappears.Salami, “Friend or Foe invisible one?”Voice, “Friend now since you took out the deep dwarves. Catch this potion of super healing!”Athena, “That is not an official magic item.”Voice, “Did I say super I meant Superior Healing. I sometimes misspeak. Zort is only two hours away, you will have enter by going down the Bulette maw.”Bramble, “That doesn’t make sense.”Voice, “It will after you get there. Trust me.”Some hours later, Tippy Toe parks the raft on the beach and they move down the caves toward the town. Zort gate house is a huge Bulette carved into the wall. At one foot is a large taco bell gong. Athena rings it with an arrow shot.Larid Shant Derna, “Who wakes me from my winter nap. You, down there. What day is this!” He starts gagging as a crossbow bolt from the rear takes him out.Calypso, “Who fire that shot? It wasn’t me. I thought we.” The maw opens and hundreds of deep gnomes run over the group. Okay it was only two dozen.Tanglehair, “I shot the dwarf, and the sheriff, but not the deputy. Here some loot. Find my friend Ashroot. She has been rounding up the rest of us. The deep dwarves when mad a few days ago, saying they were each the best saint of “Dewrah”. They start fighting with each other. A day later they want us to worship them. Then they want us to file their toe nails. Their leader MJ and his DJ have been blasting 80s music for a full day. If the dwarves are not dancing, they are killing anything they see. See you later. Bye.”A few blocks over they come across a dozen of dwarves. A lighting bolt nearly kills them all. And poor little Bramble didn’t even get a chance to go. As the last body falls Ashroot jumps out the alley and stabs the last dwarf sixteen times.Ashroot, “That was seventeen times. Get it right DM. This one will not make me sing the 12 days of dice every again. MJ and his DJ is the last group of dwarves. Let’s go kill them.”Arriving at temple they are offered Earl Grey Tea. Most of them dump the tea but Constantine and Athena don’t and are cursed with bad dreams. Which maybe mean something.The group enters and Ashroot closes the door behind them. A cleansing waterfall bisects the temple. It is not harmful. But MJ is not happy the group didn’t finish their tea and starts to attack. Fireballs, Firebolts, Sacred Flames, and thunder boots got off. (WOTC has to rename some their spells.)The group is surprise as the waterfall dispels the shapeshift on the Succubus. Salami tosses a handful on the DJ who is actually an incubus. MJ stops singing due to a Hypnotic pattern. The DJ locks down Athena, Hope, and Bramble with the same spell.The group mostly focus fires on the DJ breaking his concentration. With the rest of group back in action, the group cleans up.End of Session 626.</blockquote>
