The Benefactor

DM's Recap
Our last episode saw our intrepid crew dead, having awoken in a strange limbo-esque plane with a strange woman in their lobby. Proceeding toward their apparent judgement, they encountered another such waiting area, its door off its hinges, with a horrible fungus spilling out into the hallway. Therein lay a figure with a familiar pipe sticking out of the muck and, upon uncovering and reviving her, the team discovered their old pal Fess, who had apparently died and found herself there as well.

The new cast journeyed yet further, encountering the great judge aptly named Thiccums, who college counselled all of them into suitable afterlives – some of our group faring perhaps a little better than others. When all was said and done, however, the honourable Justice Thiccums received an urgent missive. Evidently one of the Primordial Concordant, the highest entities of the extraplanar realms, invoked preference and requested all six souls be brought to their realm.

The party then had a Scooby-Doo-esque doors scene, one young rose beast, several Cialis commercials, that water planet scene from Interstellar, a run-in with Spider-Nan, a great abandoned labyrinth, and a roll-off to determine who had saved them, and it came down to an archdevil: the scholar and archivist Iammiel, one of the four great archdevils. She took note of their plight but explained she had little power to return them to the mortal world.

This was, however, right as Fess – who had gorged herself on far too much omnicrab and devil-butter three doors ago – emitted a sinister flatulence and ejected the infection that she had brought with her even beyond death. (I promised myself I wouldn’t laugh.) Iammiel had little power over the creatures even in her own realm and left to safeguard the plane while the party laid down a dose of Goo-Gone. It was quick work, with all of our players finding themselves covered in the muck, and Fess considering hitting CVS for some Lactaid.

But, as it happened, Team Goo blasted off again, as Iammiel sent them to one person who may be able to get them back into their bodies. Arriving in a pristine hospice, Ella heard a familiar voice that said, ‘Hey, Ella!’
