Sheep, roof burning, poison, dare I say more?

After the skeleton battle, the group searches the underground lair. They find a pile of bones in the center of a ritualistic pentagram. It starts to grow flesh and after some time a large Minotaur is "re-born". He introduces himself as Gourd and then upon realizing he is underground he faints. Once revived the group gets him safely to the outdoors.

The group enjoys a great evening of food and drink at the Dead post Alley Inn with the Bard playing his sad, sad songs. 

Meanwhile Gourd tells the group of the two orc females he rescued in an alley. He says he killed the assailants and wasn't sure who they were. The group investigates to make sure he didn't kill the town guard. Thankfully, they were just thugs. The orcs had only come into the city to buy some sheep. Varis offers to help them get their sheep at a fair price and escort them out of the city. After seeing them clear of the city walls, he is ambushed by a bunch of thugs who beat him to near death and leave him naked in the streets.

Meanwhile, a fire rages at Rasa's dojo and the city quickly responds. The roof will need to be rebuilt, but the building is saved. 

Back at the Dead Post Alley Inn, soup is served and Rasa is nearly killed with poison. Thankfully Wurm was there with a quick spell to prevent his untimely death. The barkeep and employees are interrogated, but none seem to have been the one to spike the soup. 

Later that day, the group heads over to MoPuck's citadel where they discover his mentor Malacron is missing. He then notices that his new obscure sheep painting above his bed has changed and now shows a new image on it of what appears to be the old sage Malacron next to the blurry sheep. They speak to Malacrons assistant who provides them with scrolls that allow them to "enter" the painting (a "demi-plane"). They rescue Malacron along with a young girl named Amy who was trapped in there for about 10 years. 

An Acid cauldron with a side of skeletons

 A few days later Yo-Soon approaches the group with a new mission. He gives them the location of an underground crypt which he explains, has multiple skeletons that need eradicating. After some intriguing work with a magical cauldron trap, the group makes their way down into the dungeon. Wurm "charms" multiple skeletons (even taking some to be his henchmen) allowing the rest of the group to handle the rest. They find numerus scrolls, potions and fun items after fighting a Troll sized undead. 

The penis situation

The group is hanging out at the Church of Noir when a high ranking member of the Town Guard enters and asks to speak to Wurm. He explains that his name is Gabriel and was told by Yo-Soon (the Anti-paladin) that Wurm and his companions might be able to help him with a delicate situation. Gabriel explains that his daughter Emma was brutally raped by a rich merchant who is in town, with his large ship docked at the pier. Emma is in bad shape and is fighting for her life. He asks the group to kill the merchant, but before his death he wants to makes sure his penis is removed. He gives the group a set of glasses to wear during the event so he can scry magically from a distance to watch. Being a prominent member of the Town guard, he cannot participate, but ensures the group that the rest of his men are aware and will not interfere with the event.  

Randy Applebottom's eyes light up and eagerly accepts and puts on the glasses. The group stages a diversion for the ship's henchmen with the Bard playing on the dock, encouraging all to join. A successful diversion and intense performance by Mordilane (bard) allows Randy to get onboard and into the lower levels of the ship without notice.   

Randy finds the merchant (Louis Farboat) in his master suite in the process of raping yet another young girl tied to his bed. Randy overtakes the merchant and rapes him to his surprise. While being raped and screaming for help, Randy cuts his penis off and stuffs it into his mouth.

They rescue the girl and kill the merchant. Town guards all around give an approving nod thereafter. 

Unfortunately, Emma succumbs to her wounds and dies. She was never able to have the knowledge that her rapist was properly violated himself and then killed.

Bone Cellar

The group heads into the dungeon. They come to a room with multiple doors. Yo-Soon takes time to decipher the various texts & hieroglyphics and determines which door to use. The group enters and is immediately thrown into combat with some strange creatures with no eyes and a strange tentacle coming out of its head. 

There is a much larger creature at the end of the hall and Yo-soon says that he will handle it (earth elemental). The battle is rough, but the group prevails. They make out with a decent amount of various treasure. Yo-Soon bids them good luck and heads back to his cathedral. He says to come call on him in the future for further adventurers.
