Innnteresting game. It's more fun with power characters. I'll list the players for your convenience.
There was Nia, a Druidess and werewolf (name preserved)
Raymond, Jenny's brother, as Susan's wolf companion (Celer, Latin for Swift, but they call him Bugbiter)
Me, a Brass half-dragon sorceress musician (Neferankhenseti, Ti for short)
Alex, a halfling kleptomaniac (Archie)
Nabil, a jedi-like fighter with monk abilities (Remus Ravenclaw, the poor sod)
Laura, a super-rich elven princess with an intelligent heirloom sword (Utenna)
John, the most famous paladin in the world (Sir Osric the Bold)
Jenny, a vampiric assassin (Aislynn)
and
JR, DM and half-demon monk NPC
And it was a pretty sci-fi quest. We encountered a lot of people trying to sell us these weird, unorthodox healing potions, and as we were recovering from Osric's bright, shiny idea to attack the orc hordes, we kind of needed them. So all but the two most suspicious of us drank them. We heard about the wizard cabal who made them, and decided to seek them out and see what was up. Well, it was an Earth-type office-building/lab once we got past the secret passages.
To cut a long story short, the healing potions were an experimental form, and so all but two of us have DEX-1 and will now be zombies after we die (unless we find the antidote in the next quest), and Alex has the active form, so he's actually dying (but he's not going to die, because Susan and John take turns casting Remove Disease on him every 8 hours to keep him in the first stage of it). Also, John has DEX-2, an earlier form of the experiment, which we know will slowly cause him to mutate and his skin to drop off ... slower than it said in the office papers, though (I cast comprehend languages, so I could read English, but not technobabble) because he's a paladin and has Divine Health. But we killed a bunch of zombies, and a thing that was apparently a dog before it'd been transormed by DEX-2 and given zillions of HP.
Throughout the game, Osric exploited his notoriety without shame, and to the extreme annoyment of the rest of the group; he got free potions, he chatted up the barkeep... he had everything but an autograph-signing session. Once we got to the bad guys, he tried using his name against them, but they were from Earth so it didn't work. He was also continually calling people the most arrant knave that ever lived, and threatening to smite things. I say this not in annoyance (though there was a lot of that at the time), but for future reference; I promised (threatened) to write a ballad about him, so I think I may, and call it a situational satire.
Info session was yesterday 11:00 to whenever, and I left right before rehearsal. Today, we actually had a quest. It was innnnnteresting.
