Gascoigne's Stag

**Gascoigne's Stag** was an adventure DMed by Shane. The party was hired to provide security for Gascoigne the Bold's stag party- a night in the Abyssal city of Zelatar.

## Background

Gascoigne the Bold was getting married. To celebrate, his best man Azagg has organised a stag party- a bar crawl in one of the most wild and hedonistic cities in the multiverse. The party was hired to provide security for this stag party. They were tasked with keeping them safe as they drunkenly journey through Zelatar: Abyssal city of pleasure and domain of the Demon Lord Graz'zt.

## Synopsis

The party assembled at a tavern in a dark swamp where Gascoigne told them to meet. After Xander described to the barman at length how fatherhood had changed him, he went with Michael and Sheena to meet their charge. Gascoigne and Azagg were both there, along with a ten foot tall warrior-angel. Gascoigne introduced her as Aeona, the Dauntless Blade- the demigod daughter of Hyperia (which Michael gulped at). Gascoigne recounted the story of how they fell in love defending her castle from Vecna's hordes, and Aeona warned the adventurers that she would "bathe the stars with their blood" if they didn't keep Gascoigne safe.

The rest of the invitees then began to trickle in; the undead adventurer Vareth Saberian, the lizardfolk drug dealer Alfo, and Gascoigne's young nephew Cameron. Once Cameron was busy despairing at having to be in Michael's presence for a whole evening, Alfo teleported them all to Zelatar.

The group's first stop was a strip club called Mama Doom's. There, the party immediately began taking pills called "limes", as they largely stopped paying attention to the group they were supposed to be protecting and started chatting to a hen party of banshees.

They next moved on to a casino, the Golden Pyramid. The limes really began to have an effect on the party, as Michael believed himself to be a human woman named Hildegard Cornwallis and Xander became full addicted. Gascoigne then informed them that he had lost all the money for the wedding while betting on the nightmare races, and beseeched the party to help him get it back. Sheena decided to compete in a race as a rider, and won. Her performance was so impressive that the lord of Zelatar himself Graz'zt arrived to congratulate her, and to invite them all to his orgy. Xander at this point passed out from the drugs, and the other two declined so they could better protect the stag.

At that point Vareth reappeared, carrying a bag he had gotten from his "new friend"- the cambion Lyscard. Vareth agreed to take the bag back to the material plane, and Lyscard was adamant he not open it. Michael insisted on seeing what was inside, and so a fight broke out between the party, Lyscard, and the strange mossy green mass inside the bag. Lyscard eventually teleported away, and the mossy mass was defeated.

Michael then insisted that the stag was over, and had Alfo return them all to Anthologos.
