Got to Be Real

The Acolytes in Sexy Tights continue their search for the vision diamond and uncover Xanathar's evil plan.

## Major Plot Points

#### Sewer Dwellers

* After wishing Claire Leigh was reunited with her long lost lover, Dead Amy was sucked back into her dream reality. However, due to something with the sewers, her wish didn't stick and Dead Amy was brought back mere moments later and Claire's lover disappeared.
* Barbara Duke then came over to the party after scouting for talent in the sewers.
* Axle Obscuros approached the Acolytes. Axle admitted to stealing Doc's vision diamond and Laeral Silverhand's magic hand mirror that showed illusions in the reflection. He said he primarily steals to help the sewer dwellers. As a member of Xanathar's Thieves' Guild, he had to steal those items for the beholder. The crime lord used them to build a machine that would make the Reverie's illusions and granted wishes permanent and able to exist independently from the dome - for a hefty fee.
* Wanting out of the Guild, Axle asked the party to deal with his boss. Xanathar was too paranoid to share his location with just anyone, including Axle. The drow thief recommended the party talk to Captain Izzy Dodger.
* Aryan Grande studied the sewers and realized they were plated with the foil of tin - a metal that is known to negate magic related to illusions, mind control, and telepathy.

#### Gathering Intel

* The group resurfaced at the Temple of Tranquility. Clementine Jones and Gristle Pete comforted an upset Ruvange Honeysuckle. The old woman slapped Dead Amy for cursing her intellect. Sybil Ringwell explained to Doc that they had a lead on his vision diamond and needed to find Captain Izzy Dodger. Aryan affirmed the monk that they would get his diamond back. Dikarus Bottombane and Dead Amy started shipping Aryan and Doc.
* Gnomy Watts rushed in with a helmet she built. She said it was experimental and needed to see if it would free someone from the Reverie. Thinking Bragga Warhammer didn't have a lot of intelligence to lose, she threw it on her head. The half-orc fighter realized her last couple of months had all been a lie and she broke down crying. Her lover Niray Pussyhound left upset after Bragga said she wasn't real and she was supposed to be dead.
* The Acolytes invited Bragga to join them in their hunt for Xanathar. The Slayer of Tiamat agreed so she could use his machine to make Niray real.
* At the Salty Clam, the group approached a very drunk Captain Izzy. She rudely threw a sack of gold at Bragga when the half-orc woman caught her stealing booze. Aryan performed a tune and enthralled Izzy so the pirate captain freely gave them her intel on Xanathar's whereabouts.
* The group decided to spend the night at the Salty Clam before going to Xanathar's cave. Dikarus got drunk and hooked with Axle. Aryan played music for the tavern's guests. Barbara and Muchomucho M Amor drank together at the bar and learned some local gossip. Sybil prayed to Lunasa under the full moon in her werewolf form. Dead Amy and Ruvange played several pranks on one another throughout the night.

#### Xanathar's Cave

* The party left for Xanathar's cave the next day. Dikarus stayed behind to nurse his hangover.
* Everyone but Muchomucho climbed down the cliffside to Xanathar's cave entrance safely. Upon entering, they found a hall full of humanoid statues. Bragga recognized one as a woman from her tribe she used to sleep with. The party deduced all of the statues were people Xanathar petrified.
* Bragga led the group into the next chamber where Parodos and his dire troll were murdering prisoners. Our heroes leaped into action. Parodos immediately turned himself invisible. Bragga's magic sword proved its worth as she drew a lot of blood from the green monster. Aryan tapped into her wild magic for the first time and unleashed a chaos bolt. The troll's claws slashed at Aryan, Barb, and Bragga. Dewey Thundersnatch struck it with his spiritual weapon and Muchomucho hit it with meteors. Sybil killed the dire troll with a lashing from her underworld whip.
* Parodos became visible again and threw a fireball at the party, hitting everyone but Bragga. Barb's dissonant whispers made the green slaad afraid of her. Muchomucho then trapped him behind a wall of thorns.
* Dewey and Dead Amy channeled their magic and healed their injured friends. Aryan put on another enthralling performance and won Parodos over. He escorted them around the first level of the lair. Dead Amy grew frustrated with him so she cast fear on Parodos. The green slaad tore himself in two as he tried to run away but also stay by Aryan's side.
* Aryan and Dead Amy walked into the cave's kitchen and resisted the impulse to eat the poisoned food. Dead Amy, being immune to poison, ate all the food so it wouldn't harm anyone else who came in. The party then found the cave's holding cells. They released the prisoners including Volo Geddarm. Dead Amy creepily felt up his "good arms." She also used her heart of darkness ability to make a gnome named Bepo Sweetbuns her newest (and only) apostle.
* Dead Amy carried a barrel full of smoke powder to the next level and left a trail of the flammable material behind her. Dewey found a magic circle that was triggered to release a fireball if anyone entered it. Muchomucho found large crystals that housed the bodies of a drow, a dwarf, a human, and a mind flayer. Bragga tried to force open a vault door only to be electrocuted. Dewey threw water on the door and electrocuted himself and Bragga.
* Dead Amy decided to light the smoke powder to open the vault. The party hurried downstairs and she lit the trail of powder she poured. Unfortunately for our heroes, smoke powder was much more explosive and unstable than they thought. The powder exploded, lighting more barrels of smoke powder, activating the fireball circle, and activating the lightning runes on the vault door. This chain reaction caused an earthquake and the cave started to collapse. The Acolytes ran for the exit with Aryan and Muchomucho getting hurt in the blaze.
* The Acolytes made It to the cave's exit and had to choose to either climb up the cliff or try to make it to the water below. Dewey jumped into the water and suffered some bludgeoning damage but survived the fall. Barb polymorphed herself into a crow and Sybil polymorphed herself into a bat. Aryan safely climbed up the cliffside. Bragga successfully climbed down into the water. Dead Amy clung onto Bepo and was unsure of what to do. A desperate Muchomucho used his newly found orb and summoned a blue dragon that came barreling out of the cliff side. The angry dragon would only help if they agreed to give him Bepo. It turned out that the Sweetbuns were infamous dragon hunters. Dead Amy refused and jumped with Bepo, barely missing the dragon's tail attack. Muchomucho pulled out the flying carpet he forgot he had and flew off on that as the cave and cliffside collapsed.
* The blue dragon flew around and grabbed Bepo from the water, electrocuted him with his breath, and ate him.
* The party reunited at the top of cliff where they realized parts of Waterdeep's Castle Ward fell into the sea from the earthquake. In the rubble, Dead Amy found Xanathar's transmutator device. Muchomucho figured out how to work it so they could use it on Niray. Bragga rushed to find her and Dead Amy grabbed a local douche named Chad to sacrifice to make the machine work. With Chad's death. Niray was fully restored to life and freed from the Reverie.
* Bragga let Dead Amy borrow her magic sword while she was in Waterdeep. The half-orc then kissed Niray and the two left to enjoy Bragga's retirement together.
