Shenanigans: Episode 052

__NOTOC__
==Recap==
The party are in Shenanigans. The party overhears Borch wailing from the kitchen. Desmond explains that Borch's pregnant life left Borch, and went back to Akuba. Desmond needs another cook while Borch is in mouring.
Then a stranger comes into the tavern. After talking to Desmond like they are old friends, the stranger comes up to the party. He is Dave the Royal Dogcatcher. He says Droopy has one day to leave town, or be captured. Droopy draws her crossbow but Dave grabs it. Droppy casts "Cause Fear" at Dave but he resists. Zen tries to blind Dave with continual light, but Dave resists. Desmond breaks up the fight. Dave leaves, warning the party again they only have one day to get Droopy out of town.
Desmond explains the Mayor has brought in Dave to get rid of all the stray dogs in town, but Dave considers Kobolds as part of his job. Desmond says Dave is a old friend of his and the party can't kill him. Zen casts invisibility on Droopy to hide her. Desmond reveals that Glib Glob the Kobold is immune from Dave since he works for Shenanigans.
The party decide to see if they can get Droopy hired as Shenanigan's cook. The party go to Big Ben's Brothel across the road, the Soup Store, to try to get Droopy some training. As Jill negotiates with Ben to get Droopy some training, the invisible Droopy starts to take soup form people. The patrons freak out about there being a ghost. Dave hires the party to exorcise the ghost for 50 gold.
Droopy, invisible, hides under Zen's robes and casts Curse on the whole room. All the patrons feel the unnatural chill and leave the soup kitchen. Ben stays behind to help with the exorcism.
Jill creates a pentagram on the ground and has candles lit at each point. She then has everyone, including Ben, excluding the hiding Droopy, to form a circle and hold hands. Jill then starts the ritual and pretends to be processed. Then a real ghost turns up and mocks everyone. A mist forms around the party.
With the situation changed. Jill claims to summon a dark familiar, and Droppy comes out from hiding and casts "Control Undead" at the ghost, but the ghost resists. The ghost throws bowls of soup at the party then takes on a humanoid form with bright blue eyes. The ghost then processes Droopy. Jill learns that Dave has a hula hoop upstairs in his residence above the soup kitchen, so The Wrok breaks open the ceiling open for Jill to go upstairs. Jill goes up the hole and changes into their La Sombra outfit.
The ghost becomes fed up by Droopy's physically weak body and instead possess The Wrok. Droopy tries to pour holy water down The Wrok's mouth, but Ghost The Wrok just throws Droopy across the room. The Wrok then knocks out Ben. La Sombra then comes downstairs as Zen breaks open a window. The ghost gets exerised and disappears.
La Sombra goes back upstairs and Jill comes back down. She explains to The Wrok who La Sombra is and sings the song.
:La Sombra, La Sombra, the Prince of Thieves is he,
:La Sombra, La Sombra, the Prince of Thieves is he.
:Taking Names, Kicing butts,
:Punching Evil in the nuts.
:La Sombra, the Prince of Thieves.
The party take Big Ben to Shenanigans to sleep off his injury.
Outside the Waffle Goblin is in town, selling waffles for 1 silver. Droopy buys 2 waffles and gives one to Zen. Zen sells a light stone in the General Store.
Jill goes to her inn room to look for her waffle iron and can't find it. Jill want to stop the Waffle Goblins with making Pancakes, but the rest of the party don't care. Jill gets the Lutes & Lyres cart out, unfolds it, and starts selling pancakes for 5 copper each. Jill doesn't end up finding a female orc for Borch.
The next day the party go visit Borch. Jill gives a love quiz to Borch to figure out he was just projecting his own desires onto his wife, like giving her axes as gifts and cutting off a boar head and pitting it at the end of the bed. Jill suggests Borch find someone with the same interests, so they go down to the blacksmiths with Borch to talk with a female Blacksmith there. It doesn't work as the Blacksmith doesn't want to date an Orc.
Dave and his Wagon then comes down the road, with blood trailing out the back. Droopy, while hiding under Zen's robes, casts darkness on the wagon. The horses of the wagon freak out and crash the wagon into a nearby food stall. The cages at the back of the wagon spill open, and the bodies of dead dogs get thrown everywhere.
Dave steps out of the wreckage, demanding to know who cast that Darkness spell. Borch says this is perfect, since he can cook the Orcish Delicacy, a 30 dog cake, which he usually isn't allowed to cook since it requires dead dogs. Borch is out of his depression and is excited to cook again.
