Last night’s Macchiato Monsters was kind-of awesome.

Last night’s Macchiato Monsters was kind-of awesome.

Wildhorn, a minotaur seeking vengeance for her murdered father; Gangor, a human warrior seeking some decent equipment after being captured by goblins; and Flavius, an illusionist and actor, all met on the road to The Keep on the Borderlands.

The Keep was impressive in the distance and they whiled away their time discussing song lyrics and the merits of taking revenge on the dwarf that killed Wildhorn’s father. They hid their weapons and entered The Keep. They cast an attractiveness illusion on the minotaur before going into the tavern.

Moments later, that murderous black-hearted dwarf entered the tavern; a chase ensued, and our heroes managed to corner him. After a few rounds of fruitless combat, with the city guard closing in, the dwarf gave himself up, only to be shot by Wildhorn with her blackpowder weapon.

Our heroes went looking for some government authority to pay the bounty. The Castellan (governor of the area) was on his way to clear out the Caves of Chaos when they all met. Rather than collect the bounty, they were hired to clear out the caves.

The caves were dark and wet. Wildhorn got glommed onto by some water-dwelling acid ooze and almost died. Our heroes retreated to the outside world to re-think their plans.

Random highlight: “Do you even know the fat content of snail soup?!”
