Shenanigans: Episode 012

__NOTOC__
==Recap==
===BEGINNING===
The joke of the day goes “So La Sombra says, I'm a professional cowboy!” Harry Hoofdini seems entirely confused by this joke, definitely not because Neal didn't get it. Desmond appears somewhat sickly so party begins thinking of best home remedies for a cold, but a racket from outside pulls them out. Nightrose introduces himself from a roof on opposite side of the street and threatens to kill all the chickens of the town if La Sombra doesn't face him. The villain is accompanied by the Crushinator, Headshot and Eugene the poison man altogether they are named the Fabulous Horde. Harry then creates fog on the roof and the villains peace out. 
Party then confers on what to do and luckily there's a boothinator nearby from which La Sombra spawns. Joaquin Santamaria squeals in joy while Harry claims that no minotaurs would ever be hung in Minotauria. An extremely unattractive woman nearby faints. La Sombra then proposes they track the chickens instead since they would expect themselves to be tracked. He sweet words Naina Thermon and they go off to a chicken farm on outskirts of the town. 
There they find a wailing farmer who claims that someone came in the night and lead his chickens away with song, then had him kill his favorite one. Harry finds it fairly odd considering farmers usually eat their chickens and goes to the next closest farm while party explores the chicken coop, there they find a lot of chicken tracks going away from the town. Meanwhile, Harry goes to Ranchers Ranch where the story repeats, although oddly it appears the farmers chickens leave weekly to go into the woods where they have an orgy with their cocks and then come back. The farmer then tries paying Harry to inseminate his cows, but he misinterprets it and just takes them back to the party. 
Party ponders this turn of events and theorize the thieves might have rubbed cocks all over themselves to lure the chickens away, but now that they have cows and a 3 days dead chicken party decides to go back to Shenanigans to make Desmond his chicken soup. 
===FIRST BREAK===
Party drops by the Shenanigans and offers the dead chicken to Lizzy who is not very impressed by their catch and orders them back out since her magic remedy requires a fresh chicken. She refuses using prisoners as an ingredient per Harries suggestion. 
On their way there they encounter Bergshire militia ready to fight the party over the towns name, but they end up arguing over whether the world is flat or a sphere. The minotaur can only take it so long and tries pushing past them which prompts a fight in which the Bergshire loyalists get mowed down mercilessly, but in exchange kill Harry Hoofdini with a single shortsword crit in a charge. Battle is violent and the loyalists receive multiple reinforcements including roof archers which take down Naina, but their ground forces are demolished in quick succession despite loss of their minotaur early on. Jill scrambles atop the roof and begins disarming the bowmen until a lucky strike also takes the La sombra out. Joaquin is left alone in the battlefield among bodies upon bodies, again. Unbeknownst to him La Sombras body is dragged away from the roof to Nightrose lair. 
Luckily for Naina there's angry old man William, who taught Joaquin maths, is nearby who stabilizes her. 
===SECOND BREAK===
Lizzy gives Joaquin 3 healing potions to get the corpses out of her bar. Meanwhile, somewhere in the villain's hideout La Sombra is held hostage by Nightrose and subjected to monologues, he gloats how the militia will become his and how Bergshire will have its name unchanged, but La Sombra won't have this and uses his silver tongue to warp Nightroses mind, playing on his secret need to be in a band. In the end La Sombras bindings are cut he is freed just by the power of his words, he finds himself in a makeshift fortress on edge of town surrounded by many men and chickens, he waits until nightfall before scurrying off to Shenanigans. 
At the bar he then changes into Jill and hands a chicken to Lizzy, he also explains the deeper plan where fabulous horde plans on using the loyalist forces to take over the town. Party decides to make even more Deadend sausageville eastwesterland tshirts in Harries name as well as making him the new political martyr to onlooking citizens of the town. Jill then makes the most heartfelt speech to his town and it somehow rouses a crowd of 30 people with pitchforks and they start making preparations for assaulting the loyalist fortress. Jill orders his separatist forces to gather more people and so he dons warpaint, gathers his war gear and with a large crowd that chant his name they make their way towards the loyalist fortress. 
===THIRD BREAK===
On their way to the fortress Gary Hoofdini encounters the separatist fortress and tries to understand what the hell is going on, the concept of defending towns name seems alien to this very reasonable minotaur, but in the end he joins them for sake of taking vengeance on people who slew his brother. 
Garry attempts negotiating for extradition of the one who slew Harry with the forces of evil, but the process is interrupted by Naina shooting Headshot which prompts mass chaos in which Garry does his best to stay out of. 
The fortress comes alight with fire and people charge forth while archers exchange fire, people fall, heroes are made, Garry sits on side like a fat boring cow on a sunny Saturday morning. Party pairs off with the Fabulous Horde with Joaquin instantly destroying Eugene's hip and killing him on the spot. Naina duels Crushinator until Joaquin comes up and once more crushes his face in with another shield bash. With the loyalists leaders falling like flies their charge breaks upon the separatists ranks and the counter charge breaks into the flaming fortress scattering the loyalist forces. Many chickens die. Headshot retreats and is chased by Joaquin, but gets shot in the back by Nightrose to his surprise and he gives him a confused nod. 
The battle is over and the Deadend Sausageville East Westerland forces win, La Sombra gives another inspiring speech about this epic moment. Garry then brings attention to himself and asks not to involve Harries name in this and for someone to point him to killer of Harry. They find the killers and also Harries body on a spitfire. 
Rest of party celebrates with roasted chicken. La Sombra starts talking about building a statue to Harry. 
They bring some more chickens to Lizzie and Joaquin buys a fancy cart that transforms into a makeshift stage. Jill gets a fancy new custom made lute from Gibson.
