Get possessed by Trickster God Papazotl. It's Gerald's pact mentor. Gain the following flaws: "Bow before no one." and "I expect others to do as I command." I haven't talked to Emily about Gerald not seeing "Bow before no one" as a flaw. Gain the following perks: can't be surprised, advantage on wisom checks, never take damage from falling. Also get an amulet of health for as long as I'm in temple. Need to ask Emily how my flaw combines with trying to manipulate and deceive others.

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

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.

Buy 2 potions of healing. End w/ full resources except down one d8 hit die, have 9 THP.

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

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.

So now Gerald's a kraken killer. Then we get another 4 ereneyes and some other devils all in a row.

Get manual of Clay Golems. End at full resources.

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.

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.

Started w/ Sir Reginald. He dies in 1 turn so I bring Gerald as his "surrogate" and Sir Reginald gets soul devoured. Game goes long so Quall's Feather token (anchor) not divvied.

Get back to ToA hardcover (Chapter 2), so marked as session 3 of ToA hardcover too

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.
