The Dead Don’t Shuffle¶

2025-Aug-03

• Realizing that Eugene is still missing, the party begin to search for him
• Kleb brings his horse into the Dead Room, triggering a round of Left 4 Dead 2
  • Inside, there is no Eugene, but the party meets another old veteran named Bill
  • They survive the onslaught just long enough to earn a key, but the horde overwhelms them before reaching the threshold for any bonuses
• The search resumes
  • Kleb notices the gelatinous cube that was occupying the stairwell is gone
  • Vibe room is suspiciously clean, likely because the gelatinous cube passed through here
  • Rulkorf wild shapes to a dire wolf and tries to track Eugene by scent, and failing to make progress, then hunts for the cube. Both are dead ends in the Vibe room
  • It turns out that Acererak was giving Eugene lunch (and allegedly having a homosexual tryst? Unconfirmed but Kleb is confident)
• The party begins a long rest in the Vibe room/corner tower. Rulkorf keeps watch while Kleb and Rowan restore themselves
