Haunting, Haunted, Haunts

The Acolytes in Sexy Tights discover Clementine Jones is the Harlot Witch and defeat Ruvange Honeysuckle, aka Tasha Nightshade.

## Major Plot Points

#### Invalid Input

* The Acolytes had brunch at the Salty Clam. Noticing Clementine Jones wasn't working with Bragga Warhammer and Nirray or sitting with the other Best Friends Caravan members, Dead Amy asked the other group of heroes about her whereabouts. Doc said he hadn't seen her since the previous night and she was missing work today. When the zombie paladin asked the group what they knew about Ruvange, Elderion Telconter said they'd never met her before the Reverie. The old woman seemed keenly interested in Clementine.
* Barbara Duke broke into Clementine's loft in the attic of the Salty Clam. Everyone but Aryan Grande slipped and fell in puddles of spilled lube. Clows Kufas' light spell became a blacklight due to the room's enchantments - nearly every surface of the room glowed. Sybil Ringwell couldn't pick up the tiefling's scent as a werewolf due to all the candles, incense, and musk of the room.
* The party decided they'd ask Gristle Pete about Clementine's location. He said she was gone when he woke up this morning and assumed she was working or blowing off Steam at Madame Ovary's Home of Brovaries - formerly known as Dick's Courting Goods. He mentioned the Castle Ward disaster hit her pretty hard.
* Dead Amy thought they should use the machine they took from Xanathar to make Gristle Pete real for Clementine. Barb intimidated the dirty chef into getting into the machine. The acolytes anointed him in his soups for the sacrifice. The machine failed and said, "Invalid Input." Barb tried to make Gristle Pete wear one of Gnomy Watts' helmets, but he refused and Barb started singing the filthy man's praises. The group went to follow their other leads. Sybil Ringwell theorized Gristle Pete was Bedlam.
* Over at the strip club, the party met Madame Ovary and the triton dancer Steam. Clementine was there the night before but seemed sad. She left after blowing off her side piece.
* People screamed that zombies were attacking out in the streets. The party rushed out and came face-to-face with a zombie clot. Dead Amy saw Bepo Sweetbuns as part of the zombie mass. Despite its size, the zombie behemoth was no match for the Acolytes. It fell to Muchomucho M Amor's scorching ray spell.
* Dead Amy found Bepo's body and wished that he would live again. After Bepo came back to life, Dead Amy was sucked back into her fantasy life.

#### Graveyard

* The party tracked the zombie clot's trail to the Waterdeep Cemetery. The group found a lone priest surveying the recent damage to the grounds. Dewy Thundersnatch figured out the graves belonged to the victims of the Castle Ward disaster and were disturbed from beneath the ground. Sybil entered a grave and communed with Erebos who said that the cemetery had been desecrated and that any resurrection spell would result in a zombie, not a reborn person.
* Muchomucho consulted with a new crow bro and he told the elf wizard that a woman in a red cloak was kneeling on the ground and chanting words when the zombies arose. When asked where the woman went, the crow said she ran from the zombies and then pointed to the priest. Dewey used his stone shape spell to trap the priest.
* The priest revealed himself to be the Harlot Witch. Sybil sniffed the Harlot Witch and said she smelled like Clementine's lube of choice.
* Clementine confessed to being the Harlot Witch. She came to the cemetery to bring back those who died in the disaster but they all came back as zombies. She said she was about to go into the catacombs beneath the cemetery to find the woman who gave her the Ring of Desire.
* This strange woman approached Clementine and told her that the Ring of Desire could grant her greatest wish. She would just need to marry Bedlam, who was trapped inside the ring, to see her wish come true. Clementine didn't wish to resurrect her beloved. She wished for the ability to grant desires herself. With this power, she nearly slayed Bedlam and then created the Reverie.
* The group shared their theory that Gristle Pete was actually Bedlam. Clementine refused to believe this and led the group into the catacombs. Dikarus Bottombane left when he got a message from Axle Obscuros on his sending stone.

#### Ruveal Part Deux

* The group had to make a blood offering before entering the catacombs. Once inside they found a temple of Bedlam. A human oracle of Bedlam and two abyssal nymphs were preparing it for the wedding. The oracle offered the Acolytes a bag of gold for bringing the Harlot Witch back to them. The group refused but one of the abyssal nymphs knocked Clementine out with a poisoned arrow. Dead Amy and Barb convinced the oracle to let Clementine have one night of fun before the wedding. The oracle shared Bedlam wasn't here but his Best Matron was.
* The party entered the next chamber and it housed four bells. Dead Amy struck one and was hurt by its toll. The Acolytes then got directions from the oracle and they went straight to Bedlam's Best Matron.
* Ruvange was sitting on a throne when the party arrived. Dead Amy walked up to her and slapped her. Ruvange's face fell off her head. Dewey and Dead Amy recognized the woman behind the Ruvange face mask as Tasha Nightshade, the infamous witch who created Tasha's Hideous Laughter and wrote Tasha's Guide to Demonology.
* The witch let out a sigh of relief and said, "Thank gods I don't need to pretend to be as old and fat as Barb anymore." Barb then lashed her with her fire whip and the party entered a brawl against the legendary spellcaster.
* Dewey launched a guiding bolt at the demonologist. Clows put a still unconscious Clementine in a safe place. Tasha created an abyssal rift that injured Dead Amy, Dewey, Barb, Muchomucho, Aryan, and Sybil. Aryan trapped Tasha behind a blade barrier. The swords cut her but she teleported to the other side of the wall. Barb summoned a celestial spirit. Muchomucho launched minute meteors. Dead Amy slashed Tasha with her sword. Tasha's injured Dead Amy and Barb. Sybil attacked with her steel wind strike spell.
* Dewey hit the evil witch with his holy mace. Tasha struck back with her Witch Slap. Aryan fired a chaos bolt and gained the wild magic benefit of being able to cast fire bolt as a bonus action. Tasha summoned a demon and it possessed Clows. Barb's celestial spirit healed a badly injured Sybil. Muchomucho unleashed a fireball and more meteors. Sybil hit Tasha with her whip. A possessed Clows cast sinkhole, which hurt Sybil, Aryan, Barb, Muchomucho, and the celestial spirit. Tasha cast negative energy flood on Barb, killing her instantly. Aryan cast mass healing word to boost her allies. Muchomucho fired meteors and a fire bolt at Tasha. Dead Amy cast Gentle Repose on Barb to prevent her from zombifying or decaying.
* Sybil launched a fireball of her own but Tasha negated the spell. Clows remained possessed by the demon and cast gravity sinkhole again, knocking out Aryan, Muchomucho, and Sybil. Dewey revived his fallen friends with a mass cure wounds. Clows then magically enlarged Tasha. The now giant Tasha witch slapped Dewey, however, he unleashed his wrath of the storm and the lightning killed Tasha.
* Dead Amy combined her gentle repose magic and revivify spell to bring Barb back to life. She then healed the rest of her party members with her prayer of healing.

#### Rewards

* Dewey claimed Tasha's Robe of the Magi. Muchomucho read her journal and it proved she gave Clementine the Ring of Desire so she could free Bedlam. The book confirmed Bedlam was posing as Gristle Pete. A dejected Clementine finally saw the truth and agreed to help the party fight Bedlam.
* On their way out of the catacombs, the party found Maccath the Crimson, the leader of the Arcane Brotherhood's S.TA.F.F division. She said the Arcane Brotherhood found a way into the city via the sewers and they used the foil of tin from the tunnels to create helms that protected them against the Reverie. She revealed that the Brotherhood was truly after the Undermountain because it was the base of their secret leader Vecna. Unfortunately, her investigation led her to Tasha's vault and all that was left of Vecna was his hand. Muchomucho recognized Vecna from his reputation of being a powerful lich.
