Fat Rat Games

Well, Markus does it again in this session. He’s gone and got himself into trouble, but this time there probably isn’t much at all that the group can do about it. Oh, before that, they explored an odd room behind three locks, encountered a less than friendly ghost, avoided falling into a trap set by a less than competent will-o’-the-wisp, tried again to fertilize some catfish eggs, spent time at the Goblin Market, pissed off a goblin, and later met a very nice old woman. And just in case you were wondering, yes, the trouble that Markus has gotten himself into involved his self-proclaimed sexual prowess. I could swear that I gave the other players a magical chastity belt already. Details below the break.

The party travels quite a bit in this session, ranging from the Gloaming Wood to Ragged Hollow and into the Bleak Mountains. During their travels, they have a number of encounters. They spend some time talking to magical animals. Markus sticks his hands somewhere that he probably shouldn’t. Provide fruit to a wizard. Encounter an ice storm. Dieter spies his own doom. Share some soup with a new friend and meet a pig. And Markus learns that Bush will not take kindly to the thief stealing from Dieter. Oh, and somehow, Markus continues to push the game into an NC-17 rating with many face palms and slow shaking of heads from the other players…drugs, sex, and violence ensue. All that below the break.

Oh dear! This session may have verged into the NC-17 rating area. Markus (due to RJ missing the prior session) had been swallowed by a wall in a building. The rest of the party had gone galavanting through the Gloaming Woods, leaving Markus to whatever horrible fate befell him…until they encountered him riding on the back of a giant catfish (at the end of the prior session). I asked RJ how Markus might have gotten here and he had no thoughts on this. So I leaned into what has appeared to be the “core” of who Markus is…at least in terms of how RJ has played him so far…an attractive, virile, and sexually overactive young man.

Markus had agreed with his unknown and yet unseen wall abductor that he would be set free IF he agreed to impregnate someone (with this unknown partner’s consent of course). Markus agreed and thus was on the back of the giant catfish which is, of course, the partner with which he needs to spawn. Things went downhill (downstream?) from there in terms of how does a human male fertilize the eggs of a giant catfish?!? Markus is bound to complete this upon pain of death by either the giant catfish or the perpetrator of his wallnapping. Much of this session was spent attempting to get RJ, I mean Markus, out of this predicament. Hmm…I’m starting to sense a pattern here. Details below the break…although we shall gloss over the detailed details of the initial attempts by Markus to fertilize the eggs.

We ended our last session with the party making their way over to the island in the Rime River to explore the Windler House…a house to which Markus has the deed (carried by Liesl for safekeeping). Borrowing one of the old, beat up boats near the Hooked Fin, they reached the old dock on the island. In an eager haste, Markus leapt from the boat to the dock and crashed through the partially rotted boards of the dock! He plunged into the water, churning up mud and disappeared below the surface. We pick up with this after the break.

In this session, the party spent some time around Ragged Hollow, loans were made, equipment was bought, exploration of the surrounding area began, at least on PC got naked and offered himself up to some female creatures, the party huddled together in a small cave, another PC “cursed” another PC with bad luck and then took the curse on themselves, a new “friend” was made, and one PC unexpectedly went swimming. I suppose that all isn’t very informative so more details below the break.

What is it with PCs getting naked all of the time?!?
