Darokin Cops #Mystara - are crims down the sewer? Maybe, but also many baby Chuul. Theo doesn't pop the question on date night. Aralyn is paranoid about a letter and someone is using mind control to make people throw away jewellery. A missing person reappears - as a statue. Is the Nun a medusa?

#Mystara - The Fulvina housewarming party might include an evil midnight ritual on the roof... no one can quite tell due to the localised lighting storm.
There also a protracted swashbuckling duel going on, a queue of murders waiting to be solved, and a sulking volcanologist

Darokin Cops Night #Mystara - interrogation via mouse, a boyfriend possessed by a rubbish dragon, & a family reconciliation.
Then stopping people spying on the Tortle's Frog-Zoo, and another series of grizzly murders by 'the Grick' that point towards the mysterious disappearances near the docks

Darokin Cops Night #Mystara - time to look into a mysterious house with funny windows. Perhaps the lady inside is a vampire, she's keen for permission for a return visit.
Her secretary Is secretly working for the Iron Ring however - starting a 3-way fight with him and a vigilante known as the Grick

This weekend I'm off to #Empire LRP - to hang out with the cool kids/nerds in the npc/monster hut, and to see how many Mystara references I can sneak in.
6 months is too long between seeing people... also I might be on the lookout for more halfling 'aphorisms' ...

Darokin Cops Night #Mystara - a baby Chuul in the sewers ... and the Iron Ring, who are feuding v. the Veiled Society and Fellowship of the Pouch. Not Bad for a city with 'no gangs' in it.
A priest of Yagrai gets away - obviously, and the final scene looks like a raid on the Play School House...

Darokin Cops Night #Mystara - It's off down the sewers, where apparently they have post-mortem-debtors (zombies) doing the maintenance. There's also a secret room, two inconvenient hirelings, and an acid-burned corpse
That Sewer-Crustacean that's just crawled into view is probably totally innocent

Then dinner with Theo's extended family, leading to a plot-hook that leads back down the sewers.
But what are the Franichs and Sythins up to? And what is 'the Grik'?

Darokin Cops Night #Mystara - One of our cops is being billeted with a chap they recently arrested - except the Mob have got here first to kill their Mark.
It's Darokin, so obviously the fight involves a conversation about an Invoice for a Healing Potion.

Darokin Cops Night #Mystara - A Thyatian Opera made from youtube clips, a useless Halfling Interpreter, and Date Night likely to turn into a heist.
The other cops got on with prying into a mysterious disappearance, maybe to do with the Umbarth Family trying to get their trade house back?

The Fulvina housewarming moves onto the afternoon hunt - a Golden Ram that's probably an AWOL animal companion. Also secret interviews with the count, a new mysterious Elf vigilante, a gate-crashed romantic picnic, a giant cog, and yet another body

It's a fair cop - I just had a player ask 'Just how many of these npc pics are Angela Lansbury!?'
The answer is 'more than they've spotted'
I've not even brought out Mrs Iselin yet

Also: Shrewsages - the culinary delight no one wanted

D&D football time at Castle Fulvina housewarming - more a brawl & marriage market than an actual game. Various nobles get pummelled, Dr Piombo turns up dead in the bed he wasn't in last time anyone looked, and Varujan has an unlikely visit from his brother. Also:Earthtremors

D&D- morning after night before at Castle Fulvina - the haunted painting has dream-spammed out people's deep secrets. Will go down well with high strung feuding Wizards. Guilio Fulvina gets an unwanted horse, the Volcano is about to erupt, & its time for a football match.
