Shenanigans: Episode 011

__NOTOC__
==Recap==
===BEGINNING===
Lasombra story of the day is “Oh common guys, it’s winter its, asia it’s a land war, what could go wrong!” Krewbarb the Kobold PC played by Ryan Hufschmid is hiding under a table meanwhile pick pocketing the other players when a local baker by the name of Jezebel busts into the Shenanigans tavern going on about how the Goblins have returned!
Following this scene Desmond approaches the players and tasks them to deal with this issue. Desmond sends the players after Jezebel to follow up with her. Upon following up with the Baker Jezebel, what the players learn is unnerving!
These are not normal goblins.......
They are WAFFLE GOBLINS!
The night before the Waffle Goblins attacked all the local bakers. Not with motives to kill but simply to destroy all the waffle irons in town. In doing this the Waffle Goblins were able to turn around and sell their inferior trash waffles at an inflated price of one silver per waffle!
To deal with this issue the player come up with a sure fire plan. The player embark on the journey of opening their own waffle stand as bait to draw out the waffle goblins! 
Ryelline sets out to get the equipment for making waffles while rest of the party begin lamenting over how poor they are. Krewbarb tries to see of Squirrely knows anything more about the giant silver coin with dragon and magic writing on it, one he stole from him, but the hick half elf can only say it came from a brownie. Jill waffle-readies the sign on their cart.
Joaquin and Ryelline offer the idea to Jezebel and she readily accepts it even going as far as offering to make the waffles for them if they get the irons. Jill realizes the one detail they're missing is the toppings so he runs off to the market. 
===FIRST BREAK===
Squirrely has a genius new waffle design idea, smaller in diameter, but fatter in height with deeper grooves. They dub the new waffle brand Hot Pockets, sadly though it'd take 3 weeks to make the unique brand of waffle iron while normal ones would be done by end of the day.
Jill masterminds the plan to leave the waffle irons in the back of the cart with tripwires to trap the goblins, but no one bites so instead party decides to have a waffle festival instead. Ryelline explains their plan to Desmond to get him on board as well and she even gets a cut of the drinks bought from him. 
With barkers announcing the waffle festival and Joaquin dancing like the floor is on fire crowds gather. They put on a good show and the plan is a success, though they earn the scorn of Desmond for charging 5 copper per waffle instead of the usual 2 copper. They rabidly defend their price though. In total they make 31 silver with their waffles which at least makes up for the irons. 
That evening Krewbarb goes off to meet with his goblin contact he saw at the waffle cart. The goblin then instructs Krewbarb to steal the waffle irons and bring them over at which point he will be welcomed into the goblin clan and welcomed into secret clubhouse. He is excused and so he scampers back to Shenanigans and tries to tell Joaquin of the goblins plans of having Krewbarb bring the waffle irons to them. Joaquin informs the party of this while Krewbarb drags their irons away into the night. 
Party realizes they lost their kobold and their irons a little too late so while rest of party argue among themselves Jill urges Aristotle to go find Krewbarb and for a tuna she agrees. Hot on the cats tracks they find the kobold hiding under some stairs a few houses further, they observe Krewbarb hand the irons over to the goblins and then track them to the blacksmiths place where there's a cellar entrance. The goblins do some secret knocks and a secret doorway is revealed to the kobold while rest of the party observe the cellar door form outside. 
Figuring that the blacksmith is in cahoots with the goblins Squirrely starts a vote for burning down the whole thing, but before Ryelline can do the deed Jill voices reason by pointing out Krewbarb is still down there. While Ryelline advocates for burning everything down Squirrely and Jill find the secret entrance. Ajax and Aristotle have a private pet moment. 
===SECOND BREAK===
In middle of the process of removing the boards Ryelline gets gutted by a spear from inside the hole then gutted again before she can even respond, party them besets the hole and Squirrely feeds her a healing potion. Meanwhile, inside the hole Krewbarb slays the large goblin and then slays the guard goblin which took Ryelline out before rejoining the party. They decide to go get the irons and then perhaps finally burn the whole thing down. 
After scurrying through tunnels for many feet party comes upon a throne room where, surprise surprise, they see Jezebel seated upon an iron throne looking like Cersei Lannister. She then monologues how she has been running the scam for years, collecting waffle irons and then mass-producing waffles underground which her cohorts then sell above ground. Dozens of goblins filter out the holes in the walls and with coldness in her voice she orders the party slain. Krewbarb meanwhile loots the waffle irons from one of the corpses and scampers back to Shenanigans. It turns into a bloody pit battle with massive amounts of bolts and spears peppering the party while they slaughter goblins, Jill goes down then Squirrely goes down, Ryelline retreats looking for help while Joaquin alone stands among the horde unwilling to leave his bleeding friends to their fate. 
Ryelline finally makes it back to Shenanigans and yells at the bar about Jezebel, and the goblins, but Desmond appears more annoyed than anything. Thinking fast Ryelline offers 10 gold for a goblin head which has a half dozen adventurers ready to go. 
===THIRD BREAK===
Still struggling with goblins trying to disarm him Joaquin stands stalwart in the tunnel against the horde. Heroically the goblins break before Ryelline arrives and Joaquin is left among bleeding bodies, but despite their best efforts Squirrely dies in their arms. 
Ryelline pays the adventurers and offers a 10 gold bounty on Jezebel and have them carry the amalgamation waffle iron back to Shenanigans. They bury Squirrely with an acorn. 
Krewbarb knocks on Lizzies door and gets kicked in the nuts ignoring his pleas for help. 
Jill gives a heartfelt goodbye to Squirrely and then solemnly goes through his pockets for his gold/songbook. 
Later in the bar the same group of soldiers comes in with Jezebels head in tow, Desmond looks horrified at this and then hearing Ryelline ordered the hit stalks towards her with a sword drawn. Joaquin gets in between them and talks Desmond down by citing how quickly they found out fake Friar Morton Bixby arguing it couldn't have been a doppelganger and manages to keep him from killing Ryelline. She does end up being kicked out of the bar for a week though.
Next day Jill makes a heartfelt obituary about the town hero, Squirrely, and then sings the last song in his songbook. 
:Bergshire means mountain, but I just cannot see,
:If there’s a mountain near this town it’s been hidden from me.
:I’ve spent O so many days wondering where this mountain lies,
:This town name makes no sense, we need one that tells no lies,
:Go, now go! Tell all the world, Bergshire is no more,
:We’ve had it with that stupid word,
:Deadend sausageville is better, eastwesterland is where we are,
:Tell every person in the land our towns names an instant star.
:Go, now go! Tell all the world, Bergshire is no more,
:We’ve had it with that stupid word.
A fight breaks out among the crowd listening to this and the Deadenders win the fight by a landslide.
