Scions of Punjar, Part 1 (DCC)

-
Cast
Kathy as Kiya the Albino Halfling, Kilcea the Albino Dwarf, Kitilia the Albino Cleric of Mardua
John as Amar the Desert Warrior & Badger the Child Wizard
Ben as Renna the Elven Artisan, Emma the Radish Farmer, Alwin the Elvish Navigator, and Rickman the Halfling Trader
Sinter, Baden Gruk, and Kisswhere as themselves...City Guard
We started with Badger still trying to trade some hot magic scrolls and demon blood (with no success) and Amar trading his camel, shopping for a new scimitar, and getting robbed by a kid. Most effective, was Kitilia who had successfully set up a small chapel to Mardua in the Bazaar of the Gods. A few Guardswoman parishioners brought Sinter (a devout worshipper) to her chapel with a crossbow bolt in her chest. As usual, it was hot or frozen with the healing...this time hot! The wounded Sinter was completely healed through Mardua's grace and as a thanks Badan offered a gold piece (a months pay for him) to Kitilia, which she refused...as a result, Baden (an enormous southern warrior - clearly smitten by Sinter) instead aks if Kitilia and her "friends" would be interested in some of the "work" he gets offered sometimes as an adventurer. As a result of Kitilia saying yes...
The next day a letter arrives at Hbbib's Inn inviting the party to the Noble House Dev'Shir in the High and Low Court section of the city (the upper nobility section). This gets them in, and Badger immediately peels off to try to deal with the Wizards Guild...unsuccessfully (due to the need to know Knock to get in). Frustrated, Badger waits for the rest of the party.   
Lady Dev'shir, after much pomp and circumstance, briefs the party that someone has broken into the family tomb and looted a necklace. Her son found the necklace in a seedy pawn shop called Oskars. She asks the party to find out who has done this crime and bring them to justice.
For 1000gp...
The party says yes...but tells Badger it is only for 500gp.
The party heads to Oskars, but cannot charm, intimidate, and is too cheap to bribe the man. Meanwhile, Amar fights some guards, a stirge and eventually bribes another guard to let him out.
 OK...the tome it is. 
They get to the guard post and fortunately, Sinter is on guard. She lets them in with little problem and the party soon finds the tomb. Checking it out (they have a key) they find that the lock has been destroyed and the doors sealed with a magical lock. Also, the family inscription over the door has been booby trapped (with a magical psychic bomb). It goes off and hammers Kiya, Alwin and Rickman. Kiya is bleeding from the ears, Rickman drops screaming, and Alwin's head explodes. 
Badger casts Arcane Thief on himself and with lost of Luck, is able to open the door. Kitilia lays healing on the survivors and they venture into the tomb...which opens into a dimly lit area with a fountain with a statue of an elder sage holding a sundial and a book, behind it a alter. 
{Halted there...}
We end the session

{This is the third of a new campaign of Horror on the Orient Express}   Cast: John as Prof. Robert Hartford, Curator at The British Museum Kathy as Violet Carol Arey, Dillittant, American EXPAT Marco as Charles Mcgee, Student at London University Mike as Dmitri Feodorovna, refugee Russian noble/ Big Game Hunter Maria as Weiss Voigt, German Engineeress At the end of last session, Charles and the Proffessor had chosen to NOT try the model train and wait to let the others know of their find. 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 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...

They needed a break (from the guilt) of releasing a random zombie apocolypse on Punjar every couple of weeks. 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 ...
