Episode 87 - About Last Night...

With the Council of Eight being really rude and the world being mostly destroyed and such, the gang decided they needed to let off some steam. Sure, they have pressing matters that could potentially save the whole planet but sometimes you gotta get out there and let loose. Hopefully this Zird fellow isn’t going too much of a hindrance for the party. He seems really weird, but I would guess he has something up his sleeve.

## **Story**

The party departs the Council of Eight in the evening and decide to pick up some supplies for their upcoming journey. Harper decides to go visit his family's destroyed house, alone.

Jaela, Aludra and Thom buy an awful lot of beef jerky and silken rope, both of which presumably will be used for sexual and non-sexual reasons. Jaela wants to get a treat for Harper since he's all mopey, so she gets some Ancient Creme Brulee for him, although Aludra thinks he wants Strawberry Shortcake. Thom only requires dog sausage. They also get horses, and a wagon for Zird and maybe Bucky one day. Zird proves himself to be a terrible wizard who doesn't know shit about anything.

At Harper's house he speaks the secret password to access the secret basement. From there he collects some mementos and a white cloak that was supposed to be given to him by his father when he graduated from the White Spire. Guess that didn't happen. After he collects what he needs, Harper sets the place on fire. Cutpurse Esk joins him and asks why they haven't left yet. He offers to get them out of the city but Harper points out that they need horses to travel, and Esk can't get those out. Esk talks about Harper's family a bit, especially his brother, Lord Jarlton Harper, the nice one.

Before heading out the party decides that they need to let off some steam, and they go to the best club in town: The Witch's Cauldron. Jaela awkwardly flirts with Aludra, while Thom and Harper have better luck. Thom brings home a many toothed half orc named Beyonce, and Harper revenge bangs a girl who was mean to him in high school. Zird does incredibly well, scoring a beautiful elven maiden with a foul mouth. Jaela asks if she knows where Galanthis is and the elf gets mad because that's where high elves live and she's clearly a wood elf.
