Pyramids

The Acquaintances With Weapons claim the Purple Sands thalmont.

## Major Plot Points

* Wet Dick, Voloth, Salty Twat, Bigsby, Olivia, Neuriel, Kataro, Karen, and Dani decided to fight Valindra for the Tiamat Talon Blade. Valindira demonstrated the skill of converting elemental energy into frost. She blasted the party with a cone of cold. Her dragon beat up Olivia with its claw and bite attacks. The group rallied with Neuriel’s beacon of hope, Bigsby’s Finger of Death, Olivia’s smites, Dani’s fire elemental, Wet Dick’s healing ward, and Karen’s transformation into a copper dragon. This forced Valindra and her dragon to flee to her nearby flying ice castle.
* The Acquaintances With Weapons then made their way to Atem, the capital of the Purple Sands thalmont. Human and zombie slaves were hard at work in the sun sweeping the purple sand dust off of the roads and sidewalks.
* Bigsby immediately started singing songs about revolution. A group of mummy guards came over with scimitars to quiet him down. When they were unsuccessful, they threatened the people around him so they wouldn’t participate in his revelry.
* At Phoebe’s Procurements, Karen purchased amethyst toe rings. Bigsby bought clothes for Elfy Highman that include a purple vest, a fez hat, and baggy white cotton pants.
* Rhiannon summoned AWW to meet her in an alleyway. She and Bigsby argued about the best way to revolt, prompting a mutual dislike. Salty Twat was able to settle the two down and Rhiannon shared that her Covenant agents learned Magister Cleo’s pyramid is expecting a supply shipment tonight.
* At the Thorne tavern, Salty Twat and Wet Dick led discussions with drunk centaur mummies who work as guards in Magister Cleo’s pyramid. Once sufficiently supplied with liquor, the undead centaurs shared that there was a giant crack in the pyramid’s side. Due to the destruction of a diamond mine, there aren’t funds for repairs.
* Magister Cleo herself hasn’t been seen in a century and refuses to leave her home. Her messengers share her decrees.
* Her daughter, Seduca, opened a club inside the pyramid to bring her friends to her since Cleo won’t let her go outside.
* Voloth and Neuriel decided to sneak into by posing as the delivery men. The two were first sent to put the supplies in the stock room. While undercover, an injured house worker asked them to bring Horus, Magister Cleo’s husband, his dinner. Horus was very impressed by the size of Voloth and Neuriel and asked them to fan him, which they did very well. Horus was a devil that looked like a tiger humanoid. Unhappy in his marriage because he’s gay and his wife’s insanity, he propositioned the two to kill Cleo so he could be a better ruler for the Purple Sands.
* Wet Dick, Salty Twat, Bigsby, Olivia, Kataro, Karen, and Dani snuck in by posing as Seduca’s party guests. At the club, the party was reunited with Flumphy Cave Princess who was grinding on a lot of dudes. After chatting with Bigsby, Seduca recommended they all rob her mom by breaking into her vault.
* Seduca’s hacksaw didn’t do anything to the vault door. Kataro didn’t find any traps on the door but detected fire magic coming from behind it. He then dispelled it. Once inside, the party found 5,000 gold and a scarab brooch without its magical powers anymore. Olivia used the Tiamat Talon Blade to reignite its fire.
	+ Once per day, the wearer can absorb and nullify fire damage. They then become resistant to fire until the end of their next turn. The wearer can add 1d6 fire damage to their next melee attack.
* Voloth and Neuriel reunited with the rest of the party in the hall. Together, they went into the oracle chamber where a giant’s skull brought to life by Cleo lives. Cleo animated this skull with several gemstones hoping for it to foresee the future and warn her of impending danger. Unbeknownst to Cleo, the skull could never predict the future and just made stuff up, adding to her paranoia.
* Bigsby, feeling sorry that Cleo’s husband and daughter hate her and that she’s been lied to be her closest advisor, asked the party if they could do an intervention instead of attacking Cleo.
* The giant skull tricked Cleo into coming into her chamber where AWW and her family waited for her. The party mediated a discussion between the family members. Cleo agreed Seduca could leave the pyramid and live her life. Horus and Cleo agreed to divorce. And Cleo agreed she’d oversee reforms in the Purple Sands to liberate the people in the thalmont. The party agreed she wouldn’t have to directly confront Szass Tam’s force. She’d just have to defend the region against his forces.
