Get mage spell book. Realize after game that I have played Gerald as more neutral than chaotic neutral so I change that on the sheet.

The trickster god Papazotl (represented by an Eblis) appears in Gerald's dreams after his first night in Omu. Set up as a way to make a more specific devil patron. I went out of my way to tell Emily that Gerald wouldn't pick an animal, he'd get picked. Then I rolled a d10 and got a 10, insisting on dealer's choice.

Make deal w/ red wizards to get captive allies back. Get Geas-ed. Fill obligation quickly. Spell ends. Red wizards die ~20 minutes later. Yuan-ti cultists are definitely next. End session w/ 1 of 2 slots, full HP, 9 THP.

End w/ full resources except down 1 d8 hit die. Have 9 THP.

End down both fighter hit dice and 4? warlock dice

End w/ 53 HP, used fighter hit die and 4 warlock hit dice, used 1 spell slot, used second wind, used dark one's own luck.

Wrap up fate of Yuan-ti in Ch 4 (by rigging duel in favor of Ras Nsi). Start the Purple Eblis! Gerald starts telling stories that with the death curse gone, Papazotl and the trickster gods will be reborn and bring Chult to a new era of prosperity. He rolls 32, 36 and 28 on persuasion and gets 18 cultists in Omu.

Doubled for Ethereal DM, tripled for Cursed DM. Five hours at level 8. Didn't actually become part of the charity stream. If this goes to Gerald, see if I can add around 150 cultists as a marginal note since I talked party in to fueling the Purple Eblis. Alternatively, this is where I made Sariel as a feylock NPC.

Doubled for Giving DM

Buy 150 gp material for shadow of moil after game. Then (ironically) decide against taking the spell until level 9.

Finally claim magic item for completing hardcover. Take portable hole because sure, it's cool. Switch out improved pact weapon for eldritch sight (detect magic at will).

DM wanted several massively buffed encounters vs. threatening party with slow attrition. So we got 3 nycaloths, then 4 erinyes, then a host of 6 trolls and 7-8 orc chiefs with no rest. And insane XP.

We get to see Juiblex through a portal to the Abyss, fight some nasty oozes. Then four armored vampires and two vampire casters (that's 6 CR 15 foes). Fattening up for the finale.

Kill Atropol and then doom Acererak by throwing him in to the lava thanks to Dark One's Own Luck. In a lot of ways Papazotl gets the "how do you want to do this?" on the big bad...then leaves Gerald! There's gonna be a new flaw or three..."he got what he wanted and then he left" abandonment is too simple. Get to keep the Amulet of Health.

Get favor of candlekeep story award. Get 2 potions of superior healing.
