Boss Bitch

The party goes to Barbara Duke's club called Secretes to help her sister Ruthless Baddie Ginsburg.

## Major Plot Points

* While traveling through the Nessian Woods, Barbara Duke received a sending stone message from her sister Ruthless Baddie Ginsburg. RBG asked Barb to come to their club Secretes immediately. Their rival Antonin Scalea rented out the club and RBG knew that was suspicious.
* Feeling a monetary obligation to help her, the party agreed to go to Secretes and see what was going on.
* When they arrived, a minotaur guard promptly denied them entry as they weren't on the list. Barb tried and failed to command her way inside. Aryan Grande was able to talk to the manager and then played a song with her invisible servant on drums. The minotaur manager hired Aryan and the group to perform in the club after hearing her music.
* Before they could enter, the party had to be check for communicable diseases by a yuan-ti woman dressed like a sexy Pharika. Aryan and Sybil Ringwell had hairisites, Sprocket "Ballsy" Gnoman III had termites, and Muchomucho M Amor had genital devils. The ghost medical expert Dr. Boo was able to curse them all.
* The main area of the club featured four stripper who danced on marble columns, a pool with attractive aquatic humanoids, and bar. Sybil bought a buttocks drink and shared it with the other patrons. Sprocket caught up with Spyral and the two did stardust together. Holy Lady Labya had sinful feelings for a changeling dancer who shapeshifted into a half-orc. Muchomucho paid the dancer to look like him. Clows Kufas jumped into the pool and found out that patrons needed a certain amount of social capital before they could go to another level of the club.
* Jerkules Zeusa greeted the party when they went backstage to get ready for their show. He retired from being a soldier and an athlete after taking an arrow in the achilles. He's now a Secretes dancer.
* Aryan was called to the stage and she intimidated the crowd into applauding for her. She then won them over with her music thanks to Sybil, Muchomucho, and Sprocket as her band and dancers.
* The group then entered the club's casino. Muchomucho recognized Skios Istos and instigated a fight with him. Sybil failed to charm Skios into laying down his arms. Skios missed his sword attacks against Muchomucho. After enduring attacks from the party, Sybil knocked the drow warrior out with a hit from her staff.
* When Barb tried to interrogate him, Skios swallowed a poisoned pill hidden in his mouth and died. Wanting to win favor in the club, Muchomucho faked performing CPR on the dead Spellfire Club agent. His act of mercy earned them enough social capital to go to the second floor. While faking CPR, Muchomucho found a golden key on Skios.
* In an upstairs corridor the party found paintings of Barb and RBG spanning from when they were toddlers, young adults, and the seniors they are now. Sprocket found a safe behind one of the paintings. Barb was electrocuted when she entered an incorrect combination. Dikarus Bottombane was able to pick it. The group swiped 5,000 gold and Barb burned an embarrassing portrait of herself hidden inside.
* The next room was a Kruphix shrine. Muchomucho told the priestess a secret so they could pass. Barb recognized this as a ploy where RBG will record these secrets and use them for blackmail later.
* They party then watched some dinner theater. A group of bards performed the Hoedyssey. Barb struck up a conversation with a patron named Dirty Shirley who had a thing for Clows. Muchomucho offered his praise to the elven actors. His gold key gave them instant access to the third floor.
* Inside the VIP lounge, the party overheard a group of Yuan-Ti saying they were sick of waiting on Scalea. Holy Lady Labya struck up a conversation with the woman who seemed to be in charge of the group, Amie Homely Barren. The Yuan-Ti woman took Labya's niceties as an attempt to flirt and decided to fight her because of her lesbianism. Amie failed to instill nightmares into Labya's mind but her brood guard companion clawed at Muchomucho. Aryan's crossbow shot Amie down. Barb talked down the brood guard and it revealed that Scalea was meeting with King Varik Heliodson.
* The group went into the bathroom to find the staircase to the third floor. They were able to access it after Holy Lady Labya talked a very drunk Ephara priestess through her purge.
* On the final level, the group entered a sauna. The relaxed triton, tortle, and white dragon enjoyed Sprocket and were very interested in him because he was an anvilwrought.
* Dikarus picked the lock to RBG's office. Muchomucho read the business ledger that showed that Barb and RBG own Motel 666, Hoe Vault, SR's, Brown Town, Secretes, and the OG OGBYN.
* Sprocket used his Klothys contacts to see into the future and saw a fire trap behind another door. Muchomuucho opened the door with his golden key and Sprocket then disarmed the fire trap. Muchomucho found the king's crown and robes under the bed. Muchomucho swiped the black robes. Sprocket made the crown into a trap that would cause the spikes on it to latch into the wearer's skull. Muchomucho recognized the mirror in the room was magical. Barb read the infernal word for Summon that was written on the mirror. A devil appeared in the mirror and asked for her warlock servant.
* The party entered the conference room and found Antonin Scalea meeting with King Varik. The pair locked RBG in a cage for spying on them. Barb teased her sister. Sprocket showed Varik his crown and taunted him with it. Varik used his mage hand to grab the crown and put it on his head. Once upon his head, the trap was sprung and the crown latched into his skull. Barb cast fear on Scalea. Varik cast flame strike on Muchomucho and Aryan. The magical fire knocked Muchomucho out. Aryan and Dikarus trapped the king beneath a chandelier by shooting arrows at it until it fell. Sprocket committed regicide by hitting him with a scorching ray. Labya healed the party. Barb cast sleep on Scalea and knocked him unconscious.
* With King Varik dead and in the Underworld, Erebos arrived with King Demetrius and the rest of the group's soul friends. He kept his end of the bargain and released them. King Demetrius went through his uncle's possessions and found a journal. The entries revealed he didn't inherit the fire magic from Heliod like other members of his family. He made a pact with a devil to gain fire magic. Part of the cost was sacrificing his family, which he did by poisoning them and making it look like a plague killed them all. King Demetrius became disillusioned from this revelation and his time in the Underworld and swore he'd abdicate the thrown after the war.
* The party interrogated Scalea and he said King Varik came to him as the Obsidian King of the Spellfire Club. The secret society wanted to recruit Scalea so they could replenish their weakened forces. In exchange for his life, Scalea made the party part owners of his Camelot Toes strip club.
* Sprocket came to terms and fully embraced his anvilwrought self and asked the party to call him SBG3.
