Mad World

The Acolytes in Sexy Tights spend their first full day in Waterdeep partying at the Salty Clam and learning the rules of the Reverie.

## Major Plot Points

* While the party enjoyed brunch at the Salty Clam, Clementine Jones performed a cabaret show for the tavern's guests.
* Aryan Grande challenged Clementine to a dance off. Ruvange Honeysuckle volunteered to judge. Though Aryan lost the first round, Ruvange saved her and let her perform again. The gnome bard defeated the tiefling warlock by performing a death drop and jumping off the table being used as a stage.
* Aryan invited Muchomucho M Amor up onto the table stage during her encore. Aryan sang while holding Muchomucho's hand to try to channel his awakening magic. Every person outside of the Acolytes in the Salty Clam turned to Aryan and Muchomucho and spoke in unison, "Stop it." They then went back to their business as if nothing ever happened.
* Muchomucho went out into the crowd and shook Clementine's hand to try to wake her up. She acted dazed and confused and said she had to go into the kitchen and have her fiancé make her some food.
* Dead Amy approached her new friend Clementine. She invited Dead Amy and the rest of the Acolytes into the kitchen to meet her fiancé - Gristle Pete. Dewey Thundersnatch immediately recognized Gristle Pete as a victim of the Dragon War thanks to his thesis centered around the Battle of Mistshore.
* Sybil Ringwell communed with Erebos to see if Gristle Pete was missing from the Underworld. After checking his Rolodex, Erebos confirmed Gristle Pete wasn't there.
* Gristle Pete made a lot of gross stews while he and Clementine recanted their love story and shared gross flirtations. This made Juxxtina vomit profusely while Dikarus Bottombane held her hair back.
* Muchomucho touched Gristle Pete to try to wake him up but he heard two distinct voices in the chef's mind. He couldn't comprehend their words.
* Understanding Gristle Pete should be dead and considering him too gross for her hot friend, Dead Amy tried to literally knock some sense into Clementine. The tiefling cast dominate monster on Dead Amy to force her to drop the subject, but the zombie paladin resisted. This made Dead Amy accuse Clementine of being the Harlot Witch. The rest of the party was unconvinced and believed she could just be holding on to the fantasy.
* Muchomucho cast detect thoughts on Gristle Pete. He heard a strange voice tell him, "Get out." The spell then ended.
* A loud explosion rocked the city coming from a tower in the castle ward.
* Dead Amy went over to Volo Geddarm's table. She recognized him as the famed author of several books about adventuring and monsters. She also knew the rumors he plagiarized his work and was no true adventurer. However, in this reality, he seemed to speak confidently of his adventuring prowess and beast slaying ways. He even had some loyal listeners hanging on his every world. Dead Amy asked him out and he said yes.
* At the bar, Dewey met Nirray Pussyhound, the wife of Bragga Warhammer. He recognized her too as a casualty of the Battle of Mistshore. Dead Amy challenged the Slayer of Tiamat to am arm wrestling contest. They made a wager: If Dead Amy won, then Bragga would join the party in investigating the tower. If Bragga won, the half-orc could have Dead Amy's arm. Bragga did indeed win and Nirray put Dead Amy's arm on the tavern's mantle. Dewey used his control water magic to create a watery army for Dead Amy.
* When the Acolytes left the Salty Clam, they found 19 soldiers swearing allegiance to Beauty Queen Dead Amy. They then carried the party to the tower.
* Dewey studied the glowing runes that covered the windowless and door-free stone tower. He deduced they related to illusion and protection magic.
* Now believing the source of the Waterdeep fantasy to be inside the tower, Dead Amy attacked the building with her sword. A protective rune exploded with lightning and shocked the undead paladin.
* Experimenting with the magic affecting Waterdeep, Aryan created a door on the tower with her minor illusion spell. While the door remained an illusion due to the spell, her desire for a door to be there made it "real."
* Seeing Aryan's wish granted, many of the Acolytes made wishes. Muchomucho wished for more crows but all they did was fly into the heart-shaped dome over the city and die. Aryan wished for booze. Juxxtina wished for Jaime to have a bigger dick. He then arrived telling Juggs he was looking all over for her. He buried their dead children and was afraid she did something terrible or was abducted. She was able to calm him down. The wish magic also made a ship crash into the nearby shore. A severed arm came flying over to the party and Dead Amy used it to replace the one she lost. Every Acolyte except Dikarus made a wish. Of the wishers, all but Muchomucho were sucked back into their fantasy life. Dikarus and Muchomucho then ran across town getting their group back together for a second time.
* Juxxtina's three kids were replaced with three other kids who sorta looked like the originals. Muchomucho didn't murder them this time. When Sybil was recruited, her illusion family remained intact as well. Sybil destroyed Dead Amy's new army to make her see the truth again. Aryan came back with an annoyed, "Oh shit." Dewey rejoined without making a scene as well.
* Back at the tower, Archmage Asher Runestone stood in the new doorway. She asked the party what they knew about the Reverie. Dewey shared their experience inside Waterdeep. Dead Amy struck the witch with her sword. She accused her of being behind the Reverie. Asher replied, "I thought I found heroes, but you are only villains." Dead Amy wished Clementine was there so she teleported into the fight. Dead Amy then went back to her false life. Dikarus ran off to get Dead Amy back. Aryan struck Asher with her Axe of Death Metal. Clementine hit her with her finger of death spell. Juxxtina killed her with a guiding bolt.
* Sybil cast speak with dead to learn what Asher knew about the Reverie. She said her tower's defenses kept her and her disciples safe from the Reverie's effects. When they sent some scouts to investigate the city, their scrying magic showed them fall to the Reverie once they left the tower. She was unaware of the Reverie's source but believed it's demonic in nature and it started in the southern part of the city.
