Nine Lives Interlude: The One Where We Destroyed Some Lives, a Bar and Possibly the Space Time Continuum

Session Date: February 5, 2022

As soon as Al flipped on the machine in his basement, the world started to swim and disappear.

Four adventures stood aboard the deck of a ship. Captain X, a career swashbuckler, stood at the wheel with a witchy sprite buzzing amongst the spokes, squinting their slitted cat-eyes against the morning sun. Fire-eye, a Ratfolk, gathered flasks and ingredients into his alchemists bag. Jeremiah, shifted from his Kitsune form into a human in preparation for docking.

They pulled into the harbor, ready for adventure and to make a bunch of fucking money.

We blasted through the door. Mr. Bondrigan congratulated us for gaining entrance to his mock vault. Seconds later, a pair of drakes busted through the wall at us, followed by a living statue. We handled them fairly easily. Mr. Bondrigan told us to steal the diamond from the real vault at the museum, using whatever means we deemed necessary and to meet him in three days on the edge of town.

We spent the days in between casing the museum, mapping the sewers and ruining some guards lives.

As we retired to the inn at the end of the second day, we were ambushed. Although the ambushers were the ones in for the surprise, when we insulted them, foiled them with maggots and slayed them mercilessly before they could say, "oh gods we've made a terrible mistake."

2/19/22

After ruining the last guard's life by sending his favorite whore to his house, we wandered into the museum like nbd. We dismantled the traps, blew the door, murdered the monsters and snatched the diamond in less time than it takes a museum curator to die in his own fart cloud.

We made it to the carriage, but were attacked en route to the mines. We fled haphazardly on horseback. Just as we made it to the ruins, a modron jumped down before us. Before we had time to react, inky back tentacles yoinked it off the map. We proceeded to the meeting point, where we found Mr. B. He paid us and then turned to go. He hadn't gone far when he, somewhat unintentionally, ripped a rift with a demon claw hand to stash the diamond. Suddenly, he was sucked into the rift. We tried to run, but were eventually sucked into the rift as well.

We came to consciousness before the Wolf-Headed God. He seemed confused and upset. Then he reset the timeline.

Xandria, Raktosh, Hal, and Remi awakened in Al's basement.
