Exilelog: Kill, Shop, Repeat
Current Party
Angel shape shifter mostly in human form
-link boy with lantern on pole
-twp priest acolyte templar bodyguards
Country Archer bowmaster with hopes of being mercenary
-village idiot who works for hugs
Dark Elf explorer visiting surface for glory back home
-Bat familiar
-Riding Spider
Also following the Gang
-Redsmiths's son with great sword
-Farmer's Son with rake and sickle
-Hunter's Son with with shortbow
-Gypsy girl wants revenge on dungeon
So back in city gang meed a dodgy elf but keen to have more adventurers in party instead of just peasants. Angel decided she wants another she orc and wants to visit goblin town. Also might get village a new idiot as they promised to look. Through the merchant district they went selling off some trinkets till saw unclaimed baggage auction. Got few things but Archer got a dark elf tainted relic which dark elf negotiated a loan of 2500gp. So party off to good foot screwing each other for cash and squabbling over alignment. Saw a creep watching angel with hands in his pans then scared him off. Followed him in secret to his home for later reference. All this because Angel wanted to wait on docks for her favorite orc gondalier. Saw a bird get eaten by a tentacle from water.
Found favorite orc gondalier and crossed river. Went through getto and Found a hobomarket of strange hopeless goods and found a idiot on sale.
"Where is he from?"
"I am his guardian he is very dear to me"
"yes but tell us of his homeland, his people, anything?"
"Er I found him a week ago"
Haggled a good price and took the discount idiot.
In Orc Town went to she orc fighter club and Angel told of her dear dead orc bodyguard and how she wanted another like her. Managed to recruit another musclebound six breasted she orc. Archer boasted he could easily satisfy all orc women and the began to swarm him but angel stopped saying he was too weak and feeble and had two idiots to care for.
Left to head back and newbs interested in using bridge. Checked their papers as had heard of trapped residents on bridge. Angel went by gondalier as she found orc most charming she ever met. When others got across bridge minus some pick pocketed goods they saw Angel waiting at front of pne of the new cofee shops springing up all over town. The pervert from earlier was there too so they chased him off. Angel found three lost children and promised to care for them and recovered goods from hotel that kicked them out when dad missing while selling item.
Back Angels poorhouse put up the idiot and orc in appropriate lodgings and checked on the riding spider was ok with orc kids playing with him and combing his luxurious black fur.
Evening Angel went with Mother One tooth, gypsy and orc girl looking for lost father who was apparently dragged into ewer and murdered. Ascertained where children lived and aranged to swing by on return to dungeon. Dark elf and Archer sneaked up to perverts house and spied on him doing something with no shirt on table upstairs. So they smashed down door and entered his chambers. Covered in skins of victims draped over chairs at dining table with women's faces sewn into a book. Party began crewd blackmail attempt but man grew horns and looked really unimpressed. They both started shooting him and he replied with fire shuriken and magic missiles almost killing them both. Just killed him.
Angel helped out with contacting police who removed the "evidence" very keenly to the secret police museum of torture and helped the Archer apply to occupy and buy the house. As it was a serial killer house got a good price. A month to sort out paperwork and some stamp duty and would be archers own house and let him apply to be a citizen. All pleased party went to countryside and returned the lost children to kin and their money to uncle. Angel took archer to daylong service which he promised to do after last healing.
Back in pub near parties dungeon they all got drunk and reunited with local lads. New village idiot give his box to live in by bridge. Archer tried to crack onto his girl the gypsy who demanded leather Armour for sex. She had scared off any other prospective dates with a knife. But then the dark elf seduced her and archer lost all interest. Party squabbled with Angel explaining how we must unconditionally aid each other or she will have to start charging for healing. Heard gossip of dungeon recruiting.
Party came to dungeon waterfall entrance and saw cultists in masks. Ambushed and slaughtered them and kept one to question. Cultists had invisible skin under robes. An effect of being devoured by their god and reborn. Checked around areas they cleaned out and went to kill a few orcs and kobolds. Dark elf managed to weasel his loan from 2500gp down to 80gp which he paid off for dark elf relic that improves armour and speed in dark from archer. Was sure item would get attention back home. It did make weilelder see visions of death stalk them but dark elves dont care about that shit.

Foodies Guide to Exile Island 3: WTF is that in my puppy stew?
I finally got hard copies of Magic World, Advanced Sorcery, Enlightened Magic. Magic world is lots better than i hoped from first glimpse. Very nice version of storm bringer for more generic fantasy. Runnable and easy - i will steal some rules for my bronze age game starting soon. Sorcery book looks pretty solid. Enlightened magic is very much like Nephalim.
Chef Quest - winer's and diner's guide to Exile IslandA group of noble youths have graduated university and now want to go on a eating quest across the island and compile the best and worst guide to eating. Little do they know they will have adventures and help invent tourism to the Island. To assist them on their quest, parents of several are hiring adventurers to guard them. The family knowing the youths are badly behaved, trouble making fools want them kept alive and scandals minimised.
DM generates a rich prat for each adventurer. The are zero level but might learn off the players. They might each have a cantrip. A pet or two and some butlers and other servants might be in entourage and make good victims. Maybe some other companions. Perhaps girls chase them for their gold and status. Con men, sorcerers and grifters fool youths and try to hang with them.
As rockstars.they eat and drink constantly, chase women, try any new vice, gamble, graffiti names on walls (art they say), smash things, steal and kill horses and get away with no sense of danger or awareness. They jump on every fashion, buy every pamphlet, try out cults for fun, rob graveyards for a lark. Other capers include starting fights, offending people, not wanting to pay for some reason, Ultimately they will to be complete with food from forbidden places, races and the underlands. Players have to minimise the trouble they get in.
Possibly they will try city district by district then alternate with country region with diversions to write names on local caves and monuments. Given time as heroes go up level so will they. They might even decide it would be romantic to rob somebody and be bandits for some cash. Or they will intrude on local leaders and demand hospitality. "It is our noble duty and quest to sample all the best food and drink we can in our fair realm to see who eats the best in the land".
Early in career they get gods attention. Some by blasphemy and insult and then another god wants to frustrate other god for fun so helps them. Gods of food and drink think the lads are very important. Basically they get increasingly watched by spies, spirits, magical devices and gods.
There a campaign with plenty of eating and drinking and travel with some side dungeons.
A few wee tables will help:

Lazerus Awakes
2 or 3 sessions
Based on James Wards Metamorphosis Alpha Setting TSR 70s version
You are emergency shift crew of the 50 Mile long starship Warden fleeing the wars on Earth. Something has gone terribly wrong with the mission. The ship is overgrown with plants and crawling with hull horrors. Worse still you are a clone of your former self and somethings are just not right about you. Your memories are flawed and your bodies dont match your fragmented memories. You and your clones have got to save the ship and see if the millions of sleepers and frozen embryos or the mission can be saved. Negotiate metallic corridors, overgrown habitats and crew reverted to savages and cannibals. Robots, androids, mutants and unrecognisable biological structures swarm the ship. Good Luck. The Human race salutes you, It's final hope.

Foodies Guide to Exile Island 2 Pub Grub
Ive been asked to design a game from source with nothing to do with gaming - from a graffiti artist who saw my Doleopoly game stickers and posters years ago. His plans refreshingly very modest and want to publish Dolopoly too. Will see how goes. Even if i get paid in 50 box sets i could move them. Potential to troll government and can be a jerk and play in dole offices next time i get stuck there trying to get medicine or something.
Pub grub overlaps with Streetfood a bit but more finger food or hearty meals. Then a table for strange things in your soup to get action moving when characters busy eating instead of murdering. Many humans have come to like nutricious and cheap orc food. Many cant handle some orc items but will eat many items. Giant bugs are element most humans skip. Islanders of exile Island and are repulsed by eating shellfish they associate with chaos and insects. They scoff at orcs, foreigners and locals who eat crabs and lobster or even octopus as revolting. Modern empire style preferred by younger set and hip who seek foreign food or rediscover food of ancestral homelands and early empire. Imagine escorting food lovers around kingdom seeking increasingly weirder tastes and protecting them from public and world.

Deathrace2000: Corporate kill and c list death race
So gang plan assault on corp compound studying zombie plague. Thief broke into fence then hacked guardpost security comp. Set to accept any swipe card and ring no alarms during a period. Then she and ninja waited on roof after damaging copter and it's minigun.
Morning and the big rig, and two cyber psychos in vans rammed gate down. Counter force of sec-corp came at them and their jeeps and vans went up in salvo of rockets. Two unmanned subcompact cars with lasers were a bigger problem. While one van drew fire by being most offense, sherrif interceptor got in close to building.
Ninja and thief girls killed copter flight crew and cut through doors and went for lab. Ninja girl seemed to know what to grab so thief took extra samples then let out zombies to eat scientists.
Drone operator borg jumped from his van with rocket boots onto laser compact and disarmed it. Then hacked it and chased other one. He was built to do this to aircraft by army. While others avoided las fire he mag-claped onto other compact and took control, turning laser to team side. Truck badly rammed front of motor pool gate. Lasers cut through and other combat bork with s-shot revolver grenaide launcher walked in destroying everything in garrage level. Sherrif grabbed some evidence but couldnt open safe. Luckily the hacker borg brought his therapist who stopped him chasing poor women so he ripped out safe and drove off on his laser compact and let "Doc" drive his drone van. The big rig trucker left a huge bomb in base power plant level then fled, while the ladies fled to Ninja's cycle and escaped.
Got to melbourne and Ninja brought everyone pay and some extra rockets rounds. New zombie outbreak security scare but no big deal as most of party never allowed in nice parts of city. Thief found black market biotech and made a hefty profit. Got "recruited" by a small death race league. Found the fixer was a Gentech employee (just like the ninja). Upgraded cars to include twin MG for for sheriff interceptor, a MG turret and FWD fire .50 cal for truck. Drone van put laser on his van and stole some other parts. Recieved Gentech conversion kits to improve vehicle performance and some decals.
Drove to Middleton for 8 hour race to Gundagai. Competing with three other teams. Red Ants a body chop shop from Melbourne of ex cons. Black Vulture with celebrity Driver Helmut Angstrom (slums around world wide c lists for fun and hogs glory) and Devil Dingo's a bushmob. Was to be a chopper filming race and team support was not to be seen harming racers or whole team became fair game. Pedestrian kill score would be a tiebreaker. Local law may retaliate. Traditionally racers dont shoot each other till last leg as other racers on road helped your survival chances.
So Helmut took lead with best car and deployed a road trap which others mostly resisted except devil dingo team which got tangled in it and damaged wheels. As moved further on 4 gang cars came moving in for glory of killing racers. Helmut agreed to take lead in a V formation sacrificing his lead. He was a showman. Two went down and surviving two went after Dingo who was never seen again.
At one point in a small town saw Helmuts car turn off so others followed him. Drove through old race stadium where fans opened fire and racers fired back. Ratings went up a notch and party realize they can learn from Helmut. A few bridge bottlenecks caused tension and Red Ant went off race way. The big rig happened to be ahead and detoured to intercept, placing a charge on the road.
Sheriff playfully dropped caltrops damaging helmets tires and got a temporary lead till.
Then they encountered two red pickup trucks seemingly unarmed. Sherrif gave them a warning burst and rocket pods popped up. Helmet started blazing his guns and one of rocket pods shot off. Three rockets streamed to the racers who managed to dodge fire but a near miss tipped Helmut's car. As pick ups rammed him and men got out Karumi the ninja wasted the crew of one car and chased off others. Helmuts support chopper grabbed him and deployed a drone to watch his car.
Red Ant car got singed in blast on road and lost control but otherwise ok till pittstop. Over next few towns he shot up an animal shelter and a school. But Sherrif was better man and got a bigger lead despite being fired on. A rear fire MG probably on his list now.
All pleased and invited into regional race meet with more cars over several days. Helmut was off to his Euro Circuit but remained friendly. Red Ant Team not so much love.
Some crap on news about mars mission losing contact. Who cares.
I need to do some car sheets, car equipment mixing gurps autoduel and top secret/si
Probably define what support teams can do better
Also These
d100 things found on roadside
d100 outlaw gangs
d100 death race teams
d100 wasteland road hazards
google maps/earth is awesome - Australia so close to wasteland anyhow not much different

For the love of d12!
Reading about dice decay ho hum here after seeing G+ or something
http://tywkiwdbi.blogspot.com.au/2013/11/dice-can-dramatically-decompose.html
I Read story of the d12...
"Nebelwerfer41November 6, 2013 at 10:13 PM
To
follow up on your post, I listened to Dave Arneson talk at Gen Con a
few years back just before he passed away. He mentioned that they had
to buy the dice from Creative Publications in full sets, but they didn't
have rules that used the d12. So, they made up a few rules in an
effort to make the purchasers of the game feel that they got their
money's worth (and not have an orphaned d12).
I'll always remember that intimate Q&A session because it was in a medium sized room at a hotel with only about 20 people in attendance. I felt he deserved to have more people in the audience".
So basically the d12 was a after thought. I always liked the plucky polygons. BX DnD has a few good uses like turning table. Very handy for hexadecimal games because it can generate a 1-12 instead of 2-12. I sometimes do d12xd12 tables for when d100 is not enough. I seem to do this more with wilderness and terrain stuff.
I always use d12 for....
Many of descriptive tables to decorate areas outdoors or inside like my citadel tables
Some of these in play possibly why d12's being grabbed upsets players in my games
Here I use d12 for My horrible alignment system or quick wizard schools
Encounters I always like d12 cos i like more things than a d10. I have d12 for threats encountered and use D12 to check encounters every 10 minute turn in my game as standard. Or 2inD12 for dungeon at alert and 3inD12 if intruder alert! I decided recently to ad a near miss by up to 3 equals evidence of a recent inhabitant being being present instead of an encounter. Gives chances to hunt, stalk or ambush a encounter instead of being so passive as in many dungeons. Possibly a skill roll might be needed to notice. CSI Dungeon scene fan novels not far behind except heroes find monsters and their habits then gruesomely slaughter them.

d12 Clues left by inhabitants
1 Left a fresh kill or warm meal ready to consume and popped out for a moment
2 Left food scraps like bones, dribble, skin, etc
3 Left a light source such as a candle stub or lamp or torch from monster surface
4 Left blood from wound and sighs of first aid like bandages
5 Fur, bristles, scabs, shaving scum other crap possibly diseased or with parasites
6 Leaves a stink the alert might detect as fresh
7 Monster poop or pee, fresh and steaming and stinky possibly diseased or with parasites
8 Dead dungeon vermin like rat or bat or bug possibly diseased or with parasites
9 Dead dungeon inhabitant possibly diseased or with parasites
10 Dead dungeon intruder defiled and robbed and dumped
11 Vomit, snot, weeping pustule, coughed up crap or drool possibly diseased
12 Lefts a trail of footprints stronger than normal from extra filth
Directions for misses with grenaides or random directions. It' easy to say coming at you from 9 o'clock than use degrees for most people. Good for getting lost and works well on maps. Can use for near misses as slightly off by one to three "hours" and more severe lost could be random bounce.

Months of year If I need a random season or a future date for a quest i use to make a deadline.
times of day or night.
Hours of the day or night you know like on a clock again if you need a random hour.
weather i keep this pretty simple but im thinking of making seasons a new enemy in my game. Also how it effects dungeon ecology. Mostly i roll weekly but will happily roll when uncover a crypt or kill someone important of a fight breaks out or just need to set mood on scene. Weather more interesting as mood and reflective of mood of protagonists or gods than being too scientific. All written from land perspective so I expect a sea version needed one day.

Exilelog: Mazes and Mayhem
So a dm was away so ran extra DnD session. Ive been plying my 6 gun gorilla again in wild west game trying to get ppl to like me even though i end up killing everyone i touch....sniff.
Angelic Shape shifter and do gooder extraordinaire
-adopted linkboy with lamp on pole
-two clerics templars of the sun god
Human Archer from woodlands out for cash and self interest
-village idiot who work for hugs and shiny things
Also
-Redsmiths son who has learned to use greatsword
-Farmers son with a rake
-Hunters son with bow and club
Having just killed 13 kobolds all very exited and went to dungeon armoury that ow mostly empty. Went off side passage and into room with plinth and jade idol on it. Found awas n seam in floor so lassoed the idol with a pole lasso and floor fell away around plnith leaving it a pit into a muddy corpse filled pit crawling with thread worm parasites. Too gross to look for loot. Was a door on other side of pit but party move to the triangle chamber on grandpas map. Had a nice low grade jade idol.
Before that chamber as a side passage. was a side coridoor they looked in. From square room with passage each direction could see three garbage strewn rooms. One with two double dungeon door sets. One with a door at end and another with a donkey ladened with adventurer loot glad to see light and humans. While they looked at supplies they themselves had forgotten to get beserkers sleeping under trash tried to ambush them. The attack did stop the deadly archer getting free shots at them so helped them a bit. Beserks proved a menace as they would not die to bled out. Gory maniacs hurt most of party. Found a wallet of 500 ep which means someone is paying beserkers to hang around in dungeon very well as last gang had same loot. Party well equipt with healing magic and skills now so all back on feet.
Went into side room and looked about thoroughly before secret door opened and 11 kobolds charged out giving party a few bumps and scratches and were slaughtered. In their secret cupboard was a spyhole at human height so kobolds must have been standing on each others heads. Also found silver in tax collectors satchel. Angel stated it was best to return to officials and paid half from her own pocket when archer complained.
Went back and opened one of dungeon doors with some bashing. Angel crept forward to use her extended low light vision and saw dungeon with all the trimmings of torture and cells. Two bugbears lept out and one fell to arrows. Survivor bashed a few before he went down. Four cells with one looking empty but bed possible so went in calling for anyone. Giant rat under bed lept out and got three arrows. Just a pile of monster laundry under covers.
Next room had a child "Russetto Capo"in red stockings and a hooded cape crying for grandma. Angel took her to her side. Another girl was a gypsy whose dad was working for Chanduru the mad sorcerer and had her locked up. She had been pressured to marry the sorcerer. Archer gave her a knife as she was keen to stab dungeon monsters and new a bit about layout. Told them of another large round hub a maze and where wizard lived. Last cell had a tame young bear with burned feet licking his paws. Angel healed him and fed him and set him free, Bear gratefully followed her.
Found room of garbage off side and bugbear beds. Archer went to pee on them and angel warned him. He got a few fleas hop on him. Found a small shrine to dungeon goddess of underworld and clerics warned she only was trouble if insulted though she was evil. Seeing the coin slot Archer smashed open the concealed locked panel and stole a hundred or so copper coins. Nobody else would touch them. Found a larger incomplete shrine with goddess more realistic with bird feet owls and chains. Left it alone. Found kobold scribe office where dungeon records kept. Took lots of paper as valuable and recyclable. Nobody could read it. More kobolds attacked and were killed, the bear killed lots in revenge for dancing lessons kobolds had given it on a stove top.
Saw entry to mist shrouded maze gypsy warned them about. Was a test for apprentices in olden times.
From triangle room went to doors of Chanduru's section. Big gates of the old wizard on them. Chanduru telling monsters he is reincarnation of old wizard. Knocked on door and gypsy girl replied we are here for delivery. Monsters replied wait a moment and they did but they hung back and shut the lanterns as chamber had torches. From another passage four bugbears and a ogre came. Party defending from corridor managed to keep back ogre. Bugbears went down fast and injured some party mooks and ogre didn't fair much better. Bear did well again.
Double doors opened and a 8 foot column of fire with a evil face came forth.
"You killed my bodyguards! Face my wrath!"
Party fled from dungeon and went to pub. Bear went into woods looking back on party fondly. Healed up best they could and Angel and Archer went to city to sell goods. Left child with Mother One Tooth's boarding house and stayed night. Returned a pouch of silver in tax collector sack to secret police. After they interrogated her with a inquisitor priest they were so amazed hey gave her a reward and a bounty poster for Chanduru for tax theft. Back to pub near dungeon Archer managed to bed the gypsy girl and let her keep the dagger. He tried again next day but she wanted some armour. Angel said they should get married or they will attract demons by unlawful shagging.
Returned to dungeon day after with gypsy girl who wants revenge on kobolds and her father to receive justice. Fed up the donkey who happily followed them too.In the entry this time 8 orcs were camping eating a kobold on a spit. Lured them out then shot them and chased them inside and killed them all. Gypsy took their daggers.
Then back inside for more murder and plunder....
Meanwhile Chanduru has recovered his phantasmal force and ventriloquism spells and has been spending his loot on more bodyguards and elites. Dungeon has been half trashed.
Angelic Shape shifter and do gooder extraordinaire
-adopted linkboy with lamp on pole
-two clerics templars of the sun god
Human Archer from woodlands out for cash and self interest
-village idiot who work for hugs and shiny things
Also
-Redsmiths son who has learned to use greatsword
-Farmers son with a rake
-Hunters son with bow and club
Having just killed 13 kobolds all very exited and went to dungeon armoury that ow mostly empty. Went off side passage and into room with plinth and jade idol on it. Found awas n seam in floor so lassoed the idol with a pole lasso and floor fell away around plnith leaving it a pit into a muddy corpse filled pit crawling with thread worm parasites. Too gross to look for loot. Was a door on other side of pit but party move to the triangle chamber on grandpas map. Had a nice low grade jade idol.
Before that chamber as a side passage. was a side coridoor they looked in. From square room with passage each direction could see three garbage strewn rooms. One with two double dungeon door sets. One with a door at end and another with a donkey ladened with adventurer loot glad to see light and humans. While they looked at supplies they themselves had forgotten to get beserkers sleeping under trash tried to ambush them. The attack did stop the deadly archer getting free shots at them so helped them a bit. Beserks proved a menace as they would not die to bled out. Gory maniacs hurt most of party. Found a wallet of 500 ep which means someone is paying beserkers to hang around in dungeon very well as last gang had same loot. Party well equipt with healing magic and skills now so all back on feet.
Went into side room and looked about thoroughly before secret door opened and 11 kobolds charged out giving party a few bumps and scratches and were slaughtered. In their secret cupboard was a spyhole at human height so kobolds must have been standing on each others heads. Also found silver in tax collectors satchel.

Exilelog: Dungeon troubles and building a poorhouse
So the angelic shapeshifter who has yet to change in play returned to pub near dungeon to bury her orc lady friend with ceremony. A young archer introduced himself as a treasure hunter with grandfathers map. Wanted a deal as had heard adventurers had a tile to loot dungeon exclusively from city. Shapeshifter and archer went to pub, the heart of a rural village consisting of said pub and a few dozen farmsteads. Four local youths heard how city urchins came to dungeon and made good. Party joined by farmers son, redsmiths son, hunters son and the village idiot. Gave smiths son a greatsword from party stash.
Went to grandpa's entrance. Waterfall over entry with collapsed ornamental gate by overgrown trail. Through water was a processional entry depicting kobolds with gifts for mad wizard who built dungeon. Maps met up due to distinctive shaped non rectangle rooms in a row. Up by bronze doors were two huge piles of copper.
Archer fired several arrows int one as he and angel were suspicious. Village idiot needed to be stopped from walking into shiny piles. Creatures very slow took a hail of arrows before the farmer knocked out. Coinpile mimic beasts killed. Convinced smith to stay while others went home. Only the angel, her polebearer and the archer remained.
Saw passage open into rubble strewn room with remains of crates around. A recently tapped store room. Took smaller side passage and found new room. Here is where clusterfuck of random redbrick was cruel. Saw a chest in middle of room with open passage they entered and a sealed door. Chest was on a obvious pressure plate so tied rope around it (had only 10 foot). So as pulled towards open passage saw a door from roof sealed them in. As examined doors, linkboy passed out and archer followed. So angel started smashing first seen door down as brand new one seemed very strong. Smashed through and entered dark room.
This room full of flammable gas so saw vapours blend from rooms. Left lantern behind dragged out boy and chest and woke up archer with water. Angel and redsmith boy started to smash open chest in light from sleep gas room and heard snorting and clapping of mighty hooves. Light was an issue for a bit only angel could see beyond room down new passages so put candle spell on forehead to see better. Dagger found in chest had a glow too. Huge minotaur charged and archer hit three times and angel finished. For a brief moment minotaur knew he was doomed. Archer heard voices from distance called for minotaur so party moved forwards and hid in old armoury among rusty weapons in racks and recently unpacked crates. Saw distant light move forwards then back probably a spell caster with escort. Shifty sneaky critters of some kind seen closing so all hid and got to ambush two bugbears. One fled badly hurt and one killed.
Sorcerer swore at from afar and vowed vengeance. Party ran away when recognized corridor back to village. Turned minotaur axe and greatsword into stretcher. Thousands of coppers and some gems plus the glowing dagger from chest. Archer and linkboy dragged back loot and other wounded, exhausted by time back in village. Boy passed out in sight of pub. Spent night in and the boys who fled party earlier listened to party tales of danger.
Then to city where archer after night in barn was put into flop house. Mother One Tooth disliked the archer on sight. Trained for a week and healed. All toughened up they set about buying a house occupied by sweatshop slaver gang. Party bought house, got letters from moral campaigners then turned up with city bailiff and his orc beadles. Reminding the law that gang paying no tax helped too. Drove off gang and freed slaves and repaired house. Hired orc guards and spent month selling off leather goods and starting a formal poorhouse and workshop. Mother One Tooth located former seamstresses retired and slow but good teachers. The poor work house was to make robes from cloth with better conditions and food and pay. Built a shed for orcs who moved in families and were in no time singing lawful good hymns.
Got letter from village that sorcerer making threats and kidnappings and killings occurring.
Angel recruited two templar acolytes and got one to be her personal follower. Returned to village and the archer recruited the village idiot who only wanted shiny things and hugs as payment. Got him studded leather and sheild. Acolyte templar priests with similar kit. Village asked party to find them a new idiot as they brought luck. Angel convinced them mutants not so bad and would get one from mutant ghetto soon. Tracks proved bugbears who garrotted villagers and stolen children.
Gathering the other three youths they all hiked to Grandpa's gate. Through waterfall and found a 1 yard high wall of wicker fence blocked room. Fired flame arrows into and 13 kobolds charged them and all died. Zero level flunkies happier than the mimic coin pile episode. Party far tougher and with much more healing and turning power now.
Doing a great job of outdoing each other with goodness. When did your last 1st lv party buy a poorhouse and house 18 free slaves?

Psychon Log: To Slay A Necromancer
So party united with new members when mists of the god Virgil rolled over the grasslands leaving party members lost a month ago and bringing new friends....
Tonight I made a horrible fight between party. Then ended session. Newbs all realized CHA not a dump stat when only had one follower.
Party include
A rogue in special forces gear with two swords on a riding beetle
A sword dancer monk with insectisteed horse and a goblin servant
A new abino warrior with a jet black mohawk and a battle axe
A Unicorn changeling woman in a coconut bra with swords with pet dog
A Eldren healer priest in heavy armour with a pregnant pocket pony and riding cassowary
A Eldren psion with a talking jewel in his skull and a clockwork swordsman
A new degenerate green Eldren savage psion with a greatsword he can throw and his bard
And of course the evil psion Choctopus cthulhu cultist with hatchets and alien ray guns
Before them was the pleasure dome of Malak Nar. A great wicker structure covered in mud. At gate drunken guards welcomed them in and a few were in a state of semi undress. A robed acolyte led them to guest room and asked if they could wait. Till morning to see master who was having a ceremony. Gang could hear a wild party. Offered to join in but had to pay 100gp. Some got confused and thought they were going to be paid. Monk conviced cultists she was exotic dancer and got a free ticket. Pleased master and allowed to stay. Bejewel headed Eldren inviibly sneaked in and stole drugs. Rest of party stayed in hut drinking, eating and chatting up cultists. Unicorn and Jeweled Eldren got it on. Several slept with cult members. In morning they examined area and found remnants of poppy heads and shrooms in bottom of cauldron. Master needed rest till lunch so they waited more.
At lunch treated by cult to fine meal, cakes and cool-aide. Leader came and chatted and warrior asked the inevitable question.
"Who do you want us to kill"
He named the necromancer a rival power and offered a bonus if the killed the mysterious science temple priest also. Offered ten slaves each or magic items. Party set off impatient to kill somebody and choctopus stayed behind. Saw distant yellow robe druids having lakeside ceremony and saw distant hobgoblin hunters. Came to plateau with what some realized was a observatory and dish up on top. Came to entry ramp and questioned by AI while watched by twin cyber sentry 20mm auto-cannons. Dumb Eldren kept asking voice how he got in tiny box at gate. AI tried to explain but let morons in.
Found dead bodies of starved runaways who came to hide here. Rogue found AI panel and asked for food. Allowed them in souvenir shop with popcorn, soda and hotdog machines. Rogue had paper cash that every one he had met had shunned but here he was a king. Everyone ate well. Unicorn nabbed a snowglobe. All talked to AI but it just crapped on about science as it was lonely. Party left but said would recommend other visitors.
Came to the following great citadel skirted it and spoke to peasants about the whickerman ceremony and thousands of druids having ceremony on beach.

Went south toward necromancer but decided a bit late to fight undead so went to village. 40 undead spearmen chased them and party went kill crazy. A few hurt but undead destroyed. Found village undead wary yet preferred them to insect men. Seems necromancer was main foe of insects. Party leveled up.
Several party members slept with locals then in morning all went to ruines of necromancer. Crumbled ancient city scape of concrete and wire infrastructure stuck rudeley from lake shore including ancient 10 story hotel. Up stairs inside doorways they saw dead leaders and spoke.
Undead offered party membership and the offered 10gp a corpse they brought in. Some party keen, one suggested murdering nearby village. Fight broke out because unicorn said dealing with corpses with undead is always evil. Monk argued these undead fight insects so are ok. Rogue asked if they could kill all morlocks as they had killed his riding bat. Some suggested attacking bugs. Others thought citadel needs a check. Undead a bit silent on where insect men bodies go. Party infuriated I ended game for now...
Ive always enjoyed toying with morals and money but this time the ambiguity and factional jerks really screwed with them. All faction blamed each other and feuded. The Yellow Warlord of the citadel seemed to be using insects to unify people who hated each other while selling corpses to undead also while publicly shunning undead.
Then someone muttered a murder hobo classic:
"This isn't Dungeons and Diplomacy, I just wanna kill not talk to everyone!"

Exilelog: Girls Day out in Shadelport
1st half of this session felt like a 18thC soap novel for women. Then went totally oldschool dungeon.
So the girls of the team, the Bard and the Angelic changeling decided they had leveled up to lower middle class. Now they could afford followers and lodgings. So they asked about Grogtown ward where ladies like themselves could board without being entrapped into sex trade like most girls who entered district to live. Over in Holy Roller district (next to temple district where vice loving and hating clergy frequented most).
On the way sold off their kobolds to church and each got some trained ones of a different breed to ones in the dungeon claimed by the party with a delvers deed.
Found Mother one tooth's boarding house for ladies and knocked. A maid let them in and brought them tea and awaited the mistress. Mother loved the angelic descended girl and was impressed by her obvious virtue. She was suspicious of the bard but accepted her as friend of the obviously pure one.
No music after 9
No male callers
Lights out at 12
Must dress modestly
No gossiping
No drinking
No dancing
And so on...
Made a deal and got a space in tiny stable for bards goat familiar. Got breakfast of porridge daily and a good monthly rate. Girls were adventurers but convinced Mother that they would be good and not bring home trouble. Had a nice meal for dinner and said prayers over dinner. Most girls either temple maidens or maids. The kobolds were justified as were to be reformed to being good. Offered kobolds freedom in a year if worked well. So next day the girls decided to get more followers.
Crossed into merchant town easily and bought new dresses then came to the cities horrible bridges. So went to docks and found a orc gondolier. Went through the sewerage thick waters of the nameless river. Saw bodies and chamber pots drop from bridge and people trapped on pylons crying for help. Arrived safely and came to walls and gate into the slums. Guards allowed in with warnings.
Don't just yell out your looking for employees or you will start a job riot
Get some guards as you will be torn to pieces
So they tipped guards and hired two big orcs.
Went into goblin town and were jeered at and hassled by a fierce butch she orc with six boobs under her shiny breast plate. The bodyguards were quivering nervously and the girls offered her a job. She accepted the good wage and took command of the inferior orc men. Saw all sorts of shenanigans before reaching mutant town. Even worse than the slum they saw some other visitors have road collapse under them and get torn apart by mutants. Found a poor soul with an extra toe begging for work so girls took pity and hired him. He got his papers signed by girls to leave the district and had to wear a yellow bar sewn on his robes. Next into the mariners district where they were amazed by industry and hundreds of pubs like home district. Found a pub and had crayfish which orcs loved but most humans shunned as disgusting bugs. Bought a boy from pub they felt sorry for when they saw master beat him.
At gates into Gildentown the slightly ridiculous human guards in faux finery told girls hookers not allowed in. Orc guards not allowed in but the lady orc bullied her way through. Ladies were outraged and eventually guards let them in. This suburb was a mess of cheap ineffective status symbols of the wanabee rich. Mimicking the old money district and were rude to the girls. Got followed by secret police then by a handsome rake who was actually a cat shape shifter. Girls pointed out the secret police and he changed into a cat and fled into drain.
Had trouble after crossing river getting back into Merchant district without papers so went to clerk and got passports. Finally real citizens. Got back home. Boy allowed into stables to sleep while mutant and orc lady housed in nearby flophouse.
In bed at night when the serial killer who had been following them since went through merchant town tried entering bards window. Kobold woke her and she pushed him out and he died on street below. Police and Mother one tooth impressed.
Next morning they grabbed all flunkies and headed for the dungeon. The boy was realy exited about being a latern boy, everybody else a bit more wary. Arrived at village had a meal and looked over the well to see sealed entrance still blocked. Followed the line they knew tunnel made and into the woods to find other entries. She-orc detected trails of kobolds and found door among tight circle of dark overgrown trees. The bard got her knocker kobold to assess the construction and she deemed it the work of chaos tainted mad red kobolds who build pointless mazes. Party concurred.
Inside they wandered the maze methodically battling a spider and some other critters. Captured more kobolds to "reform" (sell into slavery to temple).Finaly met some brutish beserker barbarians who challenged them. Fight went well at first and they seemed easy foes but they kept fighting even though terribly wounded. Sadly they killed the heroic she orc before they finally were killed. Party went to city to rest. She was best orc in any game I ever played.
