Plot Summary: 
Determined to ensure his god-daughter, Lucielle, makes a splash at her school's prom, Nulisag hired the services of Tanager Goodfellow to arrange her carriage and escort. Lucielle, for her part, proved to be a pretty and very passionate half-orc revolutionary, determined (not always very coherently) to awaken the proletariat to their downtrodden position beneath the stomping feet of imperialist capital. 
Unfortunately Tanager, despite making a number of the arrangements in advance proceeded to celebrate a little too enthusiastically the prior evening with the 'knightly footmen' he'd procured, leaving Lucielle and just-friends-silly prom date, Frank, without a suitable escort. 
With Lucielle far more interested in spreading her message of worker rebellion than dressing up and Nulisag frantic with worry, Tanager, Furious Johnson and Olive Muhdo stepped up to try and salvage things. Between them they successfully convince Nulisag not to murder Tanager, cajole Lucielle into trading her outfit made of manifesto pages for a more fetching evening dress and stage an intervention for the well meaning but shy Frank on the art of courtship. 
Dressed to the nines courtesy of some hastily worked sartorial magic from the atelier of Enzo Aarestrup, the group mounted (or in Olive's case, clung to the bottom of) a beautiful carriage in the shape of a closed flower bud provided by Tanager's druidic friends and made their way out of the city and toward the convention hall in Lasumh Wood where the prom was to be held. 
Just as they were approaching the venue, a whistling sound echoed through the forest and the carriage was hurled sideways atop a detonating fireball. Recovering from the crash, the group found themselves accosted by a trio of young elves of noble bearing, dressed in the country club finery of the elite gentry and armed respectively with a large glowing polo mallet, a vicious lacrosse stick and explosive golf balls. The leader of these young toffs, a spoiled elven heiress named Jezabathia Imrati, yelled that her father had secured the Prom Queen crown for her, and that the 'filthy peasant girl' Lucielle would not take it before fleeing the scene. 
A battle ensued, in which the deadly fists of Furious combined with the arcane trickery of Tanager and the spirited biting of Olive eventually prevailed. The young elves were then liberated of their valuables, tied to a tree and decorated with a series of less than socially acceptable drawings. 
Lucielle and Frank survived the ambush relatively unharmed, albeit naturally shaken but alas their carriage did not. Tanager utilized a mending spell to repair the group's garments and they proceeded on foot, arriving to find the Prom venue open with poorly performed and utterly dull Waltz music issuing from within. 
Entering, they found a large hall dominated by a dance floor exclusively occupied by a small group of elves performing the stale and repetitive choreography of a single clearly rehearsed Waltz which the band appeared to be playing on loop. The student body, sat miserably around the side-tables to either side of the hall are picking at haute cuisine food more suitable for a dieting model's photoshoot than growing bodies celebrating the end of their schooling. Upon seeing Lucielle, they rush over, complaining of the music, the food, the way banners and bunting had been hanged over their artwork on the walls and in the case of the Adventurers and Caverns players, of the elves stealing their dice. 
The group leapt into action to undo this calamity of a party. Olive made her way to the kitchen and found a wealth of party food frozen within a magical block of ice. Furious first scattered the elves on the dance floor with a powerful but asynchronous breakdancing performance and then set about tearing down the bunting around the walls to reveal the psychedelic and artistic murals hidden beneath. Tanager meanwhile, first replaced the Adventurers and Caverns players dice set with one of his own so they could resume playing in their darkened corner, and then deduced that the band was being ensorcelled to keep playing the dire Waltz by the magic baton of their conductor. Calling in Furious for martial support, he rapidly dealt with this problem and in a passioned speech to the exhausted musicians, persuaded them to drop the beat. 
Meanwhile, Olive has successfully freed the party snacks from their icy tomb by unraveling the riddle securing it in place and used the kitchen's deep fryer to good effect. Rallied by Lucielle who had seized her moment and called for them to rise up against their moneyed elven oppressors, the party goers swarmed onto the dance floor to devour the breaded chicken, fried potatoes and pasta, only to have Jezabathia emerge from a side door and angrily confront Lucielle for ruining her big night. 
A tense standoff ensued, but Tanager pleaded with the haughty elven girl to embrace the spirit of the party and let loose. Olive and Furious then reinforced this point through the strongest rhetorical argument imaginable: hurled chicken. Everything stood frozen in the balance for long moments as a mustard slathered nugget worked its way slowly down the shocked elf's face and onto her dress, the entire room staring in appalled silence. Then, with glacial slowness, one of the other elves picked up a plate of spaghetti and slammed it into the face of a nearby dwarf and the party descended into glorious, uprorious chaos.
