Heist Campaign

The **Heist Campaign** was the fourth campaign held by the members of Flafa. It lasted from August 7th, 2022 to August 21st, 2022. It was the first campaign DM'ed by Chris-tian Mothman. It featured Grey as Ridgemon Sorrows, Banana as Joe Pride, Lexbomb6464 as ZoZo, Inkunn as Sobro, FennekinGalaxy as Corbin MacGregor, Kaiju as both Jess and Random Guy, and Moon as Gaudak. The campaign is notable for being the first campaign set in a contemporary setting, as well as being the first (and so far only) one-shot campaign.

## Storyline

### Session 1 (8/7/2022)

Starting Characters: Ridgemon Sorrows, Joe Pride, ZoZo, Sobro, Corbin, Jess, Gaudak

Nigel sets out with the party with his plan to rob a very special bank, with the goal being retrieving a pair of solid gold beetles held within. The party has to enter the bank with whatever means necessary, also being able to turn off the alarms in the upstairs security room, then go through processing to potentially pick up his care package for them or destroy the maintenance room to permanently offline the guards, with the intent being to enter the vault through processing. Nigel’s care package will aid the party in their escape.

Upon arrival to the place, Sobro borrows Ridgemon’s Bag of Holding and stores ZoZo inside. Gaudak boosts the two of them and Corbin into a vent recently opened by Ridgemon’s construct, wherein they sneak into the security room. ZoZo opens one of the lockers and finds a large jar of Nutella, after which she promptly ate the whole contents of it. Joe Pride attempts to eat the jar itself, and the jar promptly shattered in his mouth.

The trio proceeds to a computer, which has a really suspicious red button on the screen labeled “TURN OFF ALARMS”, which ended up being a fluke, triggering the alarms and bringing in a guard. During the battle, Corbin turns off the alarms and Gaudak enters the battle, ending the super prolonged encounter with axes to the arms. Meanwhile, Jess disappeared for unknown reasons, and Ridgemon and Sobro had to fight the remaining main room guards. After a quick zap from Ridgemon’s construct, the remaining guards are defeated and the party reconvenes. Ridgemon converts the remaining guards into night creatures.

ZoZo returned to the security room to open the remaining lockers, and found a rolly rolly rolly with a dab of ranch and seven copies of Shrek 2 on DVD. The party enters the processing room that took the form of a large maze. After a short rest and freeing themselves from a pitfall, Ridgemon sends his construct to scout the area. The construct enters the special cargo room, but gets spotted and quickly leaves. The party follows it this time, and they enter through a large air vent to the room. Gaudak sends two of the tin soldiers into his Bag of Holding, and Ridgemon, upon trying to dismantle one of the carrionettes, awakens them all and gets the party spotted. During the battle with the carrionettes, Sobro suddenly disappears for unknown reasons as well.

After defeating the guards, the party loots the lockboxes to find a wendigo skull, a mimic full of valuable spoons, a really large boot, and a large pile of tampons.

### Session 2 (8/21/2022)

Starting Characters: Ridgemon Sorrows, Sobro, Corbin, Random Guy, Gaudak

Progressing further through processing, the party sends Gaudak to attempt to break several walls, resulting in him getting hurt eventually. Later, Corbin effortlessly breaks through a wall that leads to an interior dead end that would be inaccessible otherwise. Eventually, they send Ridgemon’s drone with a rope to scout the area, eventually making their way to a trick room. After breaking down the door, the party progresses to the vault door.

In the vault room, Random Guy sneak attacks the security and loots his body, receiving a passcode for the computer. Ridgemon sends his drone to hack into the computers to read any information about the passcode to the vault, but saw nothing, and in its anger-induced table slamming, it finds a strip of tape on the table with the passcode written on it. Ridgemon enters the code, and the vault is opened. The vault’s guardian, a Hulking Crab, enters the main room and fights the party.

After killing the Hulking Crab, Gaudak claims its right claw.

Entering the vault proper, the party starts opening the deposit boxes in the vault, finding a mimic and Stephen “Sooty” Hartford’s hat in two of the boxes before quitting. The party claims all of the beetles in the vault and returns to Nigel, whereafter he gives the party their rewards. Random Guy and Corbin leave just before Gaudak attacks Sobro for his portion of the rewards. After this altercation, Ridgemon joins the scuffle and uses his construct army to defeat them, claiming their slices for himself, Gaudak being detained afterwards, alongside Sobro's suicide.

Nigel was eventually hunted down by one of Ridgemon Sorrows' night stalkers.
