The queen explodes, covering everyone with Acid. Sigh. The acid destroys Alynna's pack, and Haeraan's cloak.

Whew.

Orhan 1 Day 68 TE 6064

We get invited to Maxim Pellax's mansion. We get a tour of Pellax's showroom. He's got lot's of various artifacts from his adventuring years.

A pleasant evening is had by all.

Alynna and Oathar talk to Magellan about the whole Murky's people thing. They're quite a sales team. We sign Magellan on in exchange for promising to figure out what up with him being arrested for killing his wife thing.

We decide before heading back to Kelfour's Landing, we need to put on a play to save the orphanage.

We find a theatre company that is willing to let us supply our own leading man. We'll get 25% of the profits. Haeraan is installed as executive producer.

We ask the theatre company who the best is so we can study him. They reccommend the retired master actor "Brando" but he's a recluse living on an island by himself. Further research indicates he lives on Skull island where he breeds animals. Sigh.

Haeraan starts working on the stage hands strike, while Kyrik goes to his first rehersals (dancing: 169; singing: 27; acting: 67).

Alynna, Oathar, and Imre go to the Raschelles to find Brando on Skull island. There are giant eg shells lying around in pits on the beach. We follow the cobblestone path.

We notice a pack of spider monkeys heading towards us. Oh dear. That's not right. Spider monkeys eh? We sleep them and press on passed the giraffe-rhino and the shrew-lion. As we near the center of the island we hear a great gong sound.

In a central clearing is a pyramid with a gong. Atop the pyramid is a man ringing the gong. All around are gathering various mutant animals.

"Intruders come. Get them."

"Are you the great Brando?" "Get them!"

We study him. Then a giant ape starts charging after Alynna. We teleport back to Izar.

The final dress rehersal. Kyrik gets to assume the skills of the great Brando... (dancing: 253, singing: 191, acting: 211).

Orhan 2 Day 2 TE 6064

Oathar spreads rumors that the great Brando's student will be there.

Opening night! (dancing: 238; singing: 125; acting: 201) Yay! The curse broken.

The curse is broken, but women are trying to crawl up on the stage. Kyrik is undecided. But then he flees.

Over all we spend 25 gold, we make 31 gold. It's a success. Kyrik retires from the theatre.

Orhan 2 Day 3 TE 6064

We take Magellan down to the swamp. The whole tribe come out to worship him. They carry him around in a sedan chair. We have a banquet. They bring him merlogi babies to bless. Imre heals the sick. Magellan get the credit.

Magellan starts to balk at the idea of lugraki guards. But we convince him. He wants a trust fund set up for the merlogi. In the evening, there is a merlogi council meeting. They ask him if he will lead them to the land of honey and fish. He says no, not really. They hush some dessenters, and decide to head up with him.

They are very suspicious, but things go pretty well.

Orhan 2 Day 5 TE 6064

We get the merlogi up there. We introduce them to the lugraki. The expected power struggle ensues. The little company store gets set up.

The lugraki have a blamsch tournament while the Merlogi settle in.

Magellan decides to take the whole place in hand. Magellan's reign of terror begins.
