Yes, on February 2nd, a party of brave adventurers went on a thrilling quest! Here’s a recap of who was there, and what they did.

Nick Caddaye played a mighty, taciturn dragonborn ranger named Pikachu, whose twin weapons were a sword and a beer. Andy McClelland was Gax Garyguy, a minotaur who had given up all ability to navigate labyrinths to be a music promoter with high Charisma and an infinite supply of unwanted promo CDs. Geraldine Quinn was Tmesis (it’s a word – look it up), a half-human, half-horse, half-mathematician cleric who wielded Fowler’s Modern English Usage and a red correcting pen in the name of Mycantor, god of grammar. Finally, Scott Edgar played the dwarven druid Ironbeard Muntingbone, whose special powers were summoning and controlling normal and giant insects, and calling down lightning – though only if sufficient orgasmic energy was available through ancient, orgiastic rites.

These four were recruited by the mayor of the swamp-locked town of Orcfest to find out what happened to their children, who had gone missing. They tracked the children through the swamp, where they defeated a band of kobolds and picked up on the trail of a gelatinous cube, which had been engulfing the children and taking them to its master, an evil cleric trying to raise an army of evil babies – including a baby dragon. Pikachu revealed that he had been searching for this lost wyrmling all along, and despite being horribly wounded, managed to talk it into betraying its master.

Thanks to friend of Shaolin Punk and excellent photographer Robert Young, here are some snaps of the action:
