AT THE MEDUSA'S HEAD...

The party decides that the best course of action this week is to (1) further out attempts to map Level 3, (2) destroy the King of Death, and (3) find more pieces of the gold skull (well at least Mayfly wants to do this).

...DOWN IN THE ABBEY...

• Twister: The party becomes disoriented after the Abbey has mysteriously rearranged itself, however, the stumbling around leads to the discovery of a barrel of sinfully good wine!
• Dubious Consultation: Mayfly pulls out the golden skull kept on his person and asks directions to the rest of its body parts; a direction is set, but the party decides to face off against Great Kind Death first
• A Will Not of His Own: This refusal to prioritize the golden skull's needs results in it possessing Mayfly, who proceeds to take the party on a chase through the dungeon and right across a pit trap! The fall injures Poppy and Liminal. The fall also kills Persnickity (RIP)
• Did I Miss Anything?: The party does recover another piece of the golden skeleton and all of a suddenly Mayfly snaps to... awkward...
• Hail to the King: With the Abbey taken its pound of flesh, the party eventually finds the throne room of Great King Death
• Flatfooted: Two lost initiatives put the party at a disadvantage, but the brave first-rank of Poppy and Liminal hold strong against the rending hands of the Blind Dead!
• FIREBALL x 2!: A third round brings renewed vigor as both magicians are able to cast fireball for a combined 47 points of damage; incinerating the Blind Dead and shattering the King

...RETURN TO TOWN

• Win Prizes: The PC are able to relieve the king of his very magical sword (yikes at almost behind hit by it), magical ring, and ~2000 sp in silver and goods (plus the wine)
• Each party member gains 1118XP each!
