Shenanigans: Episode 013

__NOTOC__
==Recap==
===BEGINNING===
A new day dawns in DESEW(Deadend Sausageville East Westerland) accompanied by another LaSombra story “So LaSombra, covered in blood, breathing heavily with his swords dripping with gore says And THAT'S the deal with airline food, I don't want to hear anymore about it! ”. Shenanigans is decently full, Lizzy and Borsch are only ones around today. There appears a farmer in need who has sought out Morton in whose bosom he ends up crying, this prompts a hug cascade in the bar with Ryelline huddled in the corner with a spear. 
Turns out in the neighborhoods every youngest child has been doubled. Morton assumes the worst and begins praying over the demon doppelganger double. Jack/Jill doesn't sense any magic from the kids however, also Lizzy has a magic apron. Since they can't quite make anything evil out of the child they just let the farmer go after he tearfully stops thanking Martha for this miracle. 
Jack/Jill uses the last bits of Detect magic to walk out of Shenanigans and a magic sword owning swordsman happens to walk by which he of course follows, then gets found, then goes back inside holding hands with. The overarching question still looms large, but Ryelline is preoccupied with her magic mug that makes everything inside of it taste much better. Naina's big advice is to start killing babies. 
Party investigates mass miracles like this happening before at the Mathis and Safia monastery in town and finds some evidence that there might have been precedence, but nothing quite like this has ever happened before, only mass killings of twins. Morton gets invited to a round table discussion with snacks while meanwhile Jack/Jill finds an illustrated manual for Alejandro who cannot read. Before Morton exists the meeting he passes on the idea of doppelgangers to the monks there, but first they decide a census of all children in town is in order. Jack/Jill begins making connection that perhaps in the shoemakers are behind, they would benefit from this the most. 
Ryelline visits Wogharts and talks with the Paddy, they come to a mutual understanding and sexual favors are exchanged for identifying a magic mug.
===FIRST BREAK===
Everyone reconvenes back at the bar. Ryelline seems sexually unsatisfied, but with a now identified magic item. Party ponders how to attract all the children so they can count them, one idea is a concert another is a giant ball pit. Morton is informed of Squirrelies passing and people realize how often party members seem to die. 
They are faced with the quandary of how they might detect a doppelganger, how not to tell Morton of their sex lives and how to not offend Aristotle by overly complicating the process of drinking milk. Last one is a success at least. Morton tries Commanding a random child to transform, but it doesn't appear to work. Persuasion spells being used on small children by fat priests doesn't seem to trouble anyone. 
Ryelline bribes Aristotle into pointing out that one of the children has a mole and the other one doesn't, she then proposes going to find unwanted children they could experiment on without repercussion. One deathless way would be to bring the children to Paddy the limpdick mage from Wogharts. 
Ryelline finds herself a distraught drunk man who had triplets which multiplied into sextuplets, she pulls out a bunch of zircon gems and makes all sorts of promises until the guy succumbs, she then has a pick of the litter like they were some puppies and brings the 3 infants back to her room in Shenanigans.
Morton visits the temple and seeds a little bit of doppelganger paranoia, he does though learn they're not necessarily evil creatures. He spends a while reading literature and then learns they might kill and replace the originals, possibly on this day. He informs party of this and they try to decide how reasonable killing all the originals could be, while they discuss this party begins taking care of Ryellines triplets. 
===SECOND BREAK===
Jack/Jill has a genius idea of contracting other adventurers to solve their problems for them, but it seems only options is trade, trading their doppelganger problem for a garden snail problem. No one seems excited for this, but Jack/Jill points out to the poor lads that toad eat snail solution while they themselves come up with their own solutions. Naina buys a bunch of salt for sprinkling on the fields. 
Meanwhile, Ryelline brings babies to Paddy the limpdick again and he ingeniously thinks to cast sleep on the babies, 1 of the babies falls asleep as well as Ryelline and Alejandro. Jack/Jill meanwhile marks the probable doppelganger babies. Together with Paddy they start pondering what to do with these doppelganger babies, party seems to have had a change of heart about murdering them and idea of creating a doppelganger boarding school springs up. Paddy seems into the idea of having proficient spies, infiltrators and such as well as the idea that everything in life is predetermined, he correctly guesses Ryellines destiny in life is to be murdered. 
Back in the fields Naina and Morton see the mother of all snails come out of the forest, 20 foot tall snail. Unsure whether they want to deal with this the two of them retreat and rejoin with the other three. They share their findings and realize that Sleep spell is great for new parents, they also decide its snail slaying time. 
===THIRD BREAK===
On the outskirts of town party engages the giant snail. Molotov s get chucked like its a wedding, Morton drinks a Plant control potion and starts a revolution in the fields. Ryelline gets almost one-shot by a glob of acid and party starts playing careful by putting up barriers between them and the giant snail, but it doesn't keep Morton from going down with his baby bundle in tow. Party scatters around the slug trying to evade the deadly acid blobs while firing arrows at it, Alejandro with his steel muscles drags Morton away from the battle while Naina and Ryelline move in to duel the slug, but Ryelline gets swallowed and becomes a fire paladin pudding. Naina decides to fuck off with only Jack/Jill left to deal with the giant snail that's now going back into forest, but he eventually runs out of arrows. Intent on revenge he tracks it back to its lair and starts making plans. 
Back in town Morton is dragged to the temple where he is patched up and kept alive.
