The Cereal Box:Log/Session 40

Session 40

Ernie, Nikolai and Orlando explain the situation and the motley decides they want nothing more to do with this. It's disappointing, especially since it neither proves nor disproves the question of whether the moon landing was real. The motley searches for a hedge gate to return home. April pathfinded them to the nearest doorway, and, en route, they were accosted by 3 goblin dune buggies, styled somewhere between mad max-esque raiders and moon rovers. Nikolai waylaid one, but the other two went in for an attack.

One of the carts was swarming with goblins. Orlando was able to blind the driver so the cart missed him and drove off into the distance. Goblins armed with a surgical tubing flail, goblin with a canister of compressed gas, a goblin with a broken beaker, and a goblin with nailbat accosted him.

The other remaining cart had a goblin with dynamite fruit on spears and a rotund goblin driver that looked together like Waluigi and Wario. They missed Nikolai and Ernie hit their explosive spear with a stone, knocking over the skinny one. Nikolai and Sephie took on the goblins struggling with 'Do. Together, the defeated the goblins, destroying the remaining buggy and defeating the ones attacking 'Do (including sending one skyrocketing into the sky and exploding with a well placed stone).

The motley found an archway and left the Hedge into the real world in the wee hours of the morning. Sephie distributed goblin fruit to all the unwell, but it was not a solid healing. Hestia left food for Jack with a note and everyone slept in until late afternoon.

The motley spent their time waiting to heal (until Wednesday, my dudes) and harvested Glamour.

Ernie increased his Academics in hopes of creating a new "safe haven" that will be an improvement over the "changeling ghetto." His goal was to eventually sets up small businesses that will employ newcomer changelings. His major motivation is to reduce overcrowding.

Sephie is contacting a realtor to sell her fetch's old property. Sephie makes contact with a realtor named Kyle Kirstens. The house is now on the market as a rental property and increases her Resources.

The planned soft opening of the Restaurant on Friday will be a small royal opening for the monarchs and their two perferred guests. The servers, wait staff, dishwashers and cooks are all members of the changeling community for this event.

Friday, May 14th

The motley prepared the finishing touches of the Hestaurant, officially dubbed "Granny's Plaace." The formal guest list has been returned: the Pumpkin King is bringing Roper Redding and Holly LeClerc, Billy is bringing Lydia Kidder and Helen Moore, Alexander Smith brought Janice Tasker and Granny Lovett, and Lyrissa is bringing Johnny Starlight and Shaun Schumaker.

The settings were placed with Expression 3 and the food produced Crafts 3. Janglejaw Crookfingers showed up, and Lyrissa she congratulated Janglejaw on the ascendancy of his court. He put on a paper crown he made from a napkin. They seated the motley members in the groups with their respective monarchs. Jack and Gina were also present.

Chalkos threw down the gauntlet on Smith and after unpleasant negotiations, and demanded that traditions of Summer be upheld. A duel was demanded with each of them (and only THEM, not a champion who will fight in their stead) is permitted to bring thier own weapon, no seconds, 10 witnesses. Smith named Billy as the judge and Chalkos accepted without hesitation. After some argumentation, they agreed that the fight would be immediately before the coronation to take place in the Hedge. Smith excused himself to the restoom and returned (especially) pale.

As Janglejaw left, he opened a hedge gate that refused to close initially and then sputtered several times. April suggested that the Cereal box was, in fact, getting very soggy indeed.
