DCC Campaign Update: The Black Cock was Too Much for the Halfling



In our last session, the PCs had just gone nuts with fighting the Dragonmen Mafia in Highbay, in what is likely to kick them in the ass in the future. Now:

-"Cleric, I want you to find Georges Wittelsbach-Lorraine-McLarion-Hoopy!"
"Let me sleep! I have to level!"
"...OK, fine."

-*knock* *knock* *knock* "Cleric?" *knock* *knock* *knock* "Cleric?"
"WHAT?!"
"I need healing."
"If you rest you'll heal!"
"Not enough... oh, wait, yeah it would. Nevermind."
"Let me sleep!!"

-"Who isn't here this session?"
"The dwarf!"
"Which dwarf?"
"The dwarf, who's been with us for like six sessions!"
"Hah! His only accomplishment has been to be forgettable!"
"That's probably why he's still alive."



-The Trans-Mutant Warrior enters into contact with the Lords of Neutrality.
"We are the Lords of Neutrality."
"Hello."
"And to you."
"May I know why you have summoned me?"
"We thought you had come to us?"
"...is there anything I can do for you?"
"Perhaps."

-"The Cleric is key to the success of your quest. Stay close to him."
"OK."

-"What the hell??!"
"I'm just going to stay here by you, while you try to sleep."
"...OK..."
"Quietly."
"...."
"Really quietly."
"..."
"...you won't even know I'm here."
"..."
"Are you asleep yet?"
"NO!"



-*knock* *knock* *knock* Cleric?
"WHAT??"
"Do you have the number for Blitzkrieg Sakomano?"
"Nein!!"
"Ok, what's the rest of the number?"

-"The cleric is almost asleep..."
"ALERT! ALERT! SHIP APPROACHING!"

-The approaching ship is Fake-Bill's flying bus, being chased by a bunch of guys with armor and turbans, flying on flying carpets.
"Who are those guys?"
"I don't know, but they're throwing grenades on the roof of fake-bill's bus!"

-"Why should we help you?"
"Because if you don't help me I'll release the data telling everyone you're Bill!"
"I have an idea."
"Is it to kill fake-Bill before he can release the data?"

-"Who are you guys?"
"We are the Ackbashian Jihad! We are part of the Anti-Bill Vigilance Committee!"
"You're throwing grenades on the roof! That's Bill's favorite tactic!"
"No! Bill is the prince of lies! He stole that tactic from our Prophet!"

-"What is your name?"
"...Anesh Gupta."
"Are you Anesh Gupta the former associate of Bill? Or Anesh Gupta the crime lord?"
"I thought they were the same."
"Fuck it, he's the Catboy!"

-"When I kill one guy, does his carpet just float or start to fall?"
"It falls."
"I'm going to nosedive after it!"



-"I try to grab the carpet as it falls!"
"You fail, but you can try again."
"No."
"What? Why not? We want one of those carpets!"
"He's afraid we'll leave him if he gets too far away."

-They save fake-Bill, and Big Fat Merlin meets Chariss.
"Well hello there... who are you?"
"That's Chariss, our meth whore."
"Hey! I am not a Meth whore. I'm a meth connoisseur!"



-"So do we know where Blitzkrieg is? We'll need him to get to the sun-shield."
"He might be in Smuggler's Cove!"
"What's that?"
"Don't worry, it's not really a cove. It's a floating island."

-"So let's blow up your bus and fake your death, Fake Bill!"
"They wouldn't believe it."
"we could do it anyways..."

-The party decides to proceed without blowing up anything, and run into a flying galleon full of Posh Elves.
"I say, surrender yourselves, you're under suspicion of smuggling!"
"We're not smugglers, we're looking for someone!"
"Who?"
"Um...Coolio... Starcrusher."
"Of the Lower Middle Northington Starcrushers??"

-"We're not smugglers, but we can't let you on our ship. We have things we don't want you to see."
"Oh? I see. You have some naughty lithographs on board?"
"Some pictures of ladies showing a bit too much ankle, eh?"
"You're up to some rumpy bumpy, you naughty boy?"



-"I'm a blue elf princess!"
"Young lady, that might impress lower people, but this is a Royal Navy skyship. I assure you that not one man jack among us has the slightest interest in women!"

-The cleric finally got his night of sleep and levels up.
"Your new spell is Restore Vitality!"
"Oh YEAH!"
"it lets you restore lost ability score points in certain circumstances, and even potentially lost body parts."
"MY NIPPLES!!"

-"Big Fat Merlin and Chariss are still engaging in increasingly grotesque flirting."

-"Restore Vitality for everyone!"
"Now Heidi's smart enough to save again against Bill's Charm Person!"
"OK, roll it."
"He failed."

-"Note that since Heidi's nipple-loss was not connected to any ability score loss, he can't get them back with Restore Vitality."
"God damn it!"

-"Well, everyone's been restored."
"Your brief moment of fame and respect is over Cleric."
"Oh well."

-The PCs get to smugglers cove.
"So what's there to do around here?"
"Giant cockfighting."
"Cool!"

-At the giant cockfights, a group of Sky-Mexicans are present, and find the Sky-Cleric (who was originally a Sky-Mexican but now thinks he's a deep-cover Sky-Nazi).
"Ey, Carlitos?"
"What? Nein!!"



-The PCs have the Halfling newb fight a giant chicken. He loses but survives.
"We bet a lot of money on you. We want you to fight again and win this time."
"Sure."
"The halfling gets back in the ring, and this time he's faced with a really huge black-feathered giant chicken."
"Oh no! It's a huge black cock!"

-Unfortunately, the halfling is torn to pieces.
"The black cock was just too much for the halfling to take."

-"The halfling flew too close to the sun."
"The sun in this case being a big black cock."



-"Carlitos, no nos conoces?"
"I don't know who you are!"
"You come from Colonia De Nuestra Seniora De Los Cielos! I know your family!"
"No!!!"

-While the PCs were busy murdering their newb in a death-match, Fake Bill ended up stealing their sky-ship.
"Wasn't Pi Lin guarding it?!"
"I think he took Pi Lin with him!"

-They contact Fake Bill.
"What the fuck, fake Bill?!"
"I'm just borrowing it, friends. I'll give it back to you all as soon as you destroy the Anti-Bill Vigilance Committee. Until then, I'll be hiding out in the upper planes where they won't be able to find me."

-"Wait... was the Dwarf still on the ship?"
"He's very good at not being seen. So yeah, maybe."



-"I contact the Lords of Neutrality."
"Hello."
"I may need your help."
"We may help you."
"We have to get our ship back."
"That sounds insufficiently neutral."



-"Have you found out who this Georges Wittelsbach-Lorraine-McClarion-Hoppy is?"
"Yes. He is powerful nobleman, in a surface city."
"Highbay?"
"No, some place called arkhome."

-Shortly after receiving the information about the man who hired his assassin, Catboy gets a mysterious letter.
"I open it. What is it?"
"You don't really understand, but it's some kind of damning evidence against a person named Hillary Clinton."
"What is it Catboy?"
"Its information about someone named Clinton. Apparently she murdered a shitload of people. I'm going to put a picture of the letter on the interweb!"



-"I show the note to the Kekistanis. Hey, do you know what this is?"
"Huh.. oh.. OH KEK NO!!"
"What?"
"One of the Kekistanis screams and runs away. The other starts trying to claw out his own eyes, screaming 'you son of a bitch you murdered me, I am a dead man'!"

-"What?? What is it??"
"Anyone who has ever laid eyes on the Secret Crimes of Clinton ends up dying soon after, sometimes by what seems like random violence, accident, or 'suicide'. But they all die."



-"I just posted a picture of it on the Interwebs though.."
"You fool!"
"I check my profile."
"Your post is gone! It's vanished."
"As if it was never there..."

-With the halfling dead, now the Neutral Trans-Mutant Warrior decides he's going to do some pit fighting. He fights a knight. They both spend several rounds either missing or fumbling each other.
"Boo!"
"You both suck!"
"Balance is restored."

-"The crowd starts throwing tomatoes into the ring."
"Now calm down here!"
"Yes, there's no need for excessive emotion."
"I may have this fight."
"As may I!"
"Oh shit, they're both neutral!"
"The trans-warrior has found his soulmate!"



-The trans-mutant warrior and the knight stand there facing each other in a neutral stare-off, and then rush at each other, samurai style. The Trans-warrior decapitates the knight in one blow!
"He out-neutraled him!"

-"This was the only fight you guys have won so far and you forgot to even bet on it!"
"It really was a Neutral fight!"

-"Catboy wants to summon Bob Shoggoth."
"How do I do it, Bill?"
"You have to do a LOT of drugs, and then call out his name..."

-Catboy does some Really Magic Mushrooms and shrinks down to six inches in height!

-"You took some Beholder Eyedrops, and now you see two frightening shadowy figures just standing there looking at you."
"Oh fuck!"
"They're probably Clintons!"



-"Why are you small?"
"I tried drugs."

-Heidi tries the Beholder Eyedrops and sees the shadowy figures.
"I try to touch one of the guys."
"You can't touch them, your hand just passes right through them. But when you do that, you get the strange feeling that the Catboy has probably been really depressed lately and you wouldn't be surprised if he might commit suicide soon."
"Oh shit! They are the Clintons!"

-"Hey cleric, why don't you use your tablet to try to get information about the Clintons-- nooo, no don't do that!!"
"Yeah, bad idea. G.O.D. might 'commit suicide'."



-"I try to touch one of the shadowy figures with my sword."
"Nothing happens. Except that you get the sense that Catboy is really depressed and will probably kill himself soon."

-The party goes to sleep in Fake-Bill's tour bus, to level. In the morning, they find out Blitzkrieg Sakomano got their message and is going to be arriving soon.
"OK, the Cleric uses Divine Aid to erase the Catboy's memory of what he read, and then he burns the Clinton letter."
"Good idea!"

-Suddenly, when he's alone the Sky-Cleric gets a tap on his shoulder.
"Excuse me meester.."
"Huh?"
"*WHAP*"
"The Sky-Mexicans have kidnapped the sky-cleric to make him Mexican again?"

Will the Sky-Cleric become a Sky-Mexican again? Will Blitzkrieg Sakomano get the team up to the skyshield? Is the Dwarf still on the ship with Fake Bill?

Find out the answers to some of these mostly unimportant questions, and much more, in our next update!
