-
Cast

John as Amar the Desert Warrior & Badger the Child Wizard
Kathy as Kiya the Albina Halfling, Kilcea the Albino Dwarf, Kitia the Albino Cleric of Mardua
Opening: Badger makes a deal and Patron Bond with Pretzelquatal, The Winged White Snake of Balance. "Pretzel" wants Badger to diminish both the powers of Law and Chaos in order to restore some balance to this mad land. After sealing their bond, Pretzel dropped Badger off in some mountains to head for a sacred unholy site of Chaos...but before he could get far, a large green hand wrapped around Badger and it was lights out...  
Meanwhile in Pan'pot'sun...
With Kiya being dragged towards an alter as a proposed sacrifice to Mythris, a Winged Lion God of Chaos, things looked grim. But as her comrades leapt to her defense, with Amar taking great glee in cutting down dozens of foolish citizens in the mob and the other K-girls quickly cutting Kiya loose. Unfortunately, things went too well, too early, and when the mob and acolytes charged, Amar was separated from the girls. Confronted by the High Priestess of Mythris, Amar was hypnotized, turned and set to kill his friends!
Irate at the brutal cult, and interfering with their illegal enterprise (a body theft ring), the Berry, Bornak and the Plague Doctor fought to get through both cult and crazed citizens. Sadly Bornak and the Plague Doc died clearing a way for Berry to escape. 
Seeing Berry's flight, the K-girls fought a withdrawal and followed the speedy Berry to his hideout, Omar's a dive bar and durrang den under a laundry shop. There, the girls got an image of Badger in a hanging cage asking for them to come rescue him. He seemed to imply riches and magic if they did. They also meet Wilhelm the Merchant and brains of the now foiled body theft ring. The hint of loot and getting out of a city about to receive the worst of a Malazan crackdown, Wilhelm gets some cash from the girls and buys a cart, provisions and a couple good riding horses and they whole group prepare to leave. 
In the city above, Amar snaps out of his trance and quickly kills the two Cult Acolytes with him. Apparently the general uprising by the Mythis Cult had failed (loss of too many henchmen in the town square and a return of the Malazan Army). Getting the same message from Badger, Amar grudgingly heads out of town to rescue the Wizard. 
Somewhere outside of town, Amar meets up with the rest of the party and they travel overland to the base of a fortress upon a dark hill. Said to belong to a strange green skinned wizard, known for kidnapping villagers to power his bizarre experiments. Despite their misgivings at rescuing Badger, the party prepared to assault the structure, as the lure of loot beckons!

After work and class the next day, the whole party met up at the Proffessor's townhome. They charried the train out into the courtyard that evening to give it a try. Proffessor Hartford activated the train and the group watched (holding umbrellas as it was raining) as it went round and round the figure eight. Nothing seemed to be happening, yet the party presisted even while discussing that perhaps this was a dead-end. With the 26th circuit  of the train however, everything chnged. ...

House of Dust and Ash, Part I: Red Redemption and the Master of Chamber XIII

House of Dust and Ash Part I of the Season Finale: False Redemption Surviving their release of the Dei-Phage (demon lord), activation of the Pax Machiana, the ravaging of Kephistron Altis, melting of the Most Holy Gilded Cathedral of Baraspine, and the discovery that the “Pope” of the Callaxian Church is, in fact, a heretic…well, let’s say our Murder Hobos have a “mixed” reputation…(although Drustos seems to have made out well enough…) It has been a month since and the Acolytes are abruptly ordered off planet.  As the adventure begins the Player Characters are transferred temporarily into the service of a shadowy and notorious figure in the Holy Ordos, Inquisitor Lady Oriantha Rathbone, on the bleak and poisonous industrialized hive world of Solomon. There is a trip on the Lamentations of the Flame Princess which allows some new artificial limb work. Littlus replaces his pipe-like robotic leg (courtesy the Dei-Phage) with the “Major Award” leg from Christmas Story…fish...

Anyway, as they got close to the new shopping area, they heard cries of pain and spotted a bearded man in black (Emerikol the Chaotic it turns out) riding down the street on a demon horse randomly killing passers by.  And calling on his winged gorhellas to kill witnesses. The patry generally ended up fighting gorhellas...except for Amar who got a good cut on the wizard before he escaped. After the fight Captain Rhal of the city watch came over to express his thanks and adk where the characters were staying...he ...
