- After being attacked by a rope, they then ran into the mega-stoat again. An argument over how to get past it led to it waking up and attacking them. The fight progressed until Torgos Zooth came from around the corner to the commotion and called his stoat off (50 xp)

- On the way to the medusa for the second time, the party decided to claim the bounty on a rogue time elemental. After some shenanigans, he was finally secured, and brought to Psathyrella for payment. (50 xp)
- As a final thanks, and an instruction to "get the hell out of her maze", Psathyrella offered to teleport the party wherever they wanted. Wishing to return to Germany the day after they entered the maze, the spell was cast and the maze dissapeared around them. (50 xp)

Batman Villain Classics

Inspired by some discussion about how good batman villains are, as well as Dan D's excellent Super Smash Classics funnel for Dungeon Crawl Classics, I've started putting together a random character background generator based on classic batman villains. At the moment it's a d20 table with some of the most iconic villains, but I'm working on expanding it to a full d100.
Equipment is listed with fairly general stats, but implies a dB/dX style ruleset.

Edit: Updated with another 20 classic 60s Batman villains in purple down below!
Edit: Added another 20 of the goofier villains from throughout the batman universe, expanding this into a d60 table. Pretty sure that's the last I'll do on this for now.

Total: 340 xp

Events:

- After spending the night on the island, the party suits up for another trip into the dungeon. Busting out the new cooking system, Baral puts together a nice hearty snakemeat stew with garlic and onions. (50 xp)
- Checked out the temple on Elatior and tested the Ynn portal in the garden. Drawing a door on one of the walls, the party was able to enter The Gardens. They are immediately presented with a small hedge maze and an unusually artistic pair of skeletons. (50 xp)
- Collecting the bones as loot, they made their way into the maze, finding a strang bonsai turtle and a spellbook in the center. (50 xp)
- Moving deeper into the Gardens, the next layer contained an herb garden full of strange hallucinogens and some poisonous plants. They also found some strange stairs that led back up a layer to the hedge maze. (50 xp)
- Continuing deeper to level 2, they found a large life size chess board, with some sentient chess pieces arguing with each other. They carefully bypassed them to leave them to their business. (50 xp)
- The next layer contained a large rose garden, and the party was attacked by bees that rusted their armor and weapons. The bees were defeated through effective combination of a blackfire bomb and a very tanky dwarf. (50 xp)
- Baral decided to eat the rose in the center of the room, giving him strange black vinelike tattoos (50 xp)
- The next layer gave way to a cemetery, full of graves to dig up and spooky scary skeletons. The skeletons were a bit miffed that people would try to dig up their graves, and ended up agreeing to disagree with the party. A few of the other graves contained sweet loot (50 xp)
- Continuing deeper, the next layer had more cemetery, but upside down across a massive chasm, the land twsiting around like a mobius strip. Most of the party made it across safely until a massive carp-headed crocodile came flying in on bat wings to terrorize the party (50 xp)
- The party made quick work of the hybrid-beast, but not before it seriously injured Branka with it's weird carp mouth (50 xp)
- They decided to continue on, finding a massive pit of molten metal in the next layer, surrounded by snow and ice. Taking the time to warm themselves up, Baral put together another helping of stew to get Branka back on her feet. (50 xp)
- With renewed vigor, they pressed on to layer 7, a room with a handful of hothouses in it. One of them had more valuable skeletons, and another was full of empty gold birdcages. Naturally, the party looted all of it except for the one with green slime. (50 xp)
- The rest of the time was spent making it back along the way they came, leaving through the door and back to the real world. (50 xp)
