Pale Rider part 2
General Summary
Grolm 10, 578
about 5:30 PM
We pick up as Zhang Sephia's entangle spell locks onto the root-like feet of Master Kerner. Part of the spell effect spills forward over the edge of the Master's Platform: oregano thrashes up at a wild rate of growth to entangle SNAFU Guild Druid Jesse Devonshire as well!
Jesse best check whether he has the Reflexes to duck out of entangling range!
The action is in full swing within Master Kerner's Chamber:
Rewards Granted
Summary:
- Each member of the SNAFU Posse except for captured Chef -- each of the Player Characters -- receives a fifth of the totals from the two big fights in this session. Defeating Ministry Transmogrifer EvilSeed so ingeniously (but not defeating him forever!) earns the party a total of 4000 XP, which divides neatly into 800 XP each. When the party returned to the Main Chamber to gather the rescued citizens and consider next steps, they quickly cleared out more of the Lord Jack-o-Lanterns for an additional total of 3200 XP, divided amongst the active Posse members into 640 XP apiece. Grand total per character: 1440 XP!
Remember, we have worked out that your Animal Companions determine their levels off of their Chosen Person, so going forward we will not include them in XP calculations.
General note: By this point in the campaign, everyone is probably past the necessary experience point accumulation that qualifies you for 7th level. Please remember that you can't Ding! and do the actual leveling up until you have time to train. Right now, it looks like you won't have a chance for that until after the end of this adventure. Record the XP, but don't level yet!
Recovered sort-of-Treasure
Will-Bound Druid Jesse Devonshire has stepped into the role of "Master Kerner's Assistant" persuasively, even putting on the decomposing Master's robes. In the absence of a clear idea that the Master wishes otherwise, the plant monsters of Oatman Cavate have been letting Jesse direct them so far.
While this is certainly disturbing, it has also gained him the fond interest of Topiary Rex!
In the course of obeying Master Kerner's recent commands, Jesse has persuaded Princess Alfredo-Alston to sign over to him her birthright: the deed to an area once titled Sarsparilla Ranch, now the westernmost component of Whippetal Ranch.
Stormborn Sorcerer Miro Teague, hunting for lost comrade Chef, found a high-quality empty, uncorked bottle that smells like the vichyssoise recipe of which Chef is so proud.
Miro also briefly had a Wand of Enhanced Spell Collection. Alas, it blew up.
Miro also has one of Farvald Kerner's most recent journals.
Nodin Ranger Bruthazmus has been captivated by the distant sound of beautiful music. To save his comrade, Lee Chung persuaded Yathue Ilphendurl to actively possess the bugbear until they can free his mind from this spell!

Outside the Cavate, unheard by the SNAFU Posse, two voices carole a Cowhand's Lament.
The endlessly unfurling tune carries low and sweet over long distances. It captivates any critter that hears it. It brings
