The Vat Spawn follow beefy elite goblins into a room of swords with a goblin museum curators arguing about presentation. The head curator laughs as Dragon Warrior touches a cursed codeine razor and is weakened with magical addiction.

A big ole fight breaks out with Tiger Wizard trip attacks and a fun knife-in-the-head polymorph into goblin hipsterdom.

Bat Alchemist finds some mystically placed stanchions & velvet ropes, and he corrals in the curators behind the ropes to watch the fight.

Warlock Roc has on headphones that are giving her an audio tour, and learns about The First Year Being Rich Cutlass. She grabs it and brandishes it without blasting off its power… until she does! The cutlass pulls all metal (including magic swords) into the sword, nearly killing everyone.

The water is draining away at the secret golden oasis because of all the infighting between the adorable, ear-like loboids. Can you help the tiptoers, bouncers and striders to stop bickering and unite with their magic dance to save their home from being destroyed by the slumbering Shriekfrapp? I hear that it’s good luck to flip a gold coin into the water when you arrive.

307 Goblin Guards & Credit Cards - Rise of the Vat Spawn

The Vat Spawn peruse the lobby of the goblin museum when the alarm button gets pushed after Tiger Wizard is caught trying to steal trillmatic rings. A negotiation starts up on either side of a force field with a goblin on stilts named Snax. An elite goblin named Meat Fists swallows a cat whole and pulls out its skeleton to intimidate the crew. Bat Alchemist and Tiger Wizard calm the situation down with successful converse rolls. Tiger Wizard uses a Mad Dungeon word to change the fabric of reality to create Tone Stone Touch Pads for bureaucratic transactions, and now the team has a Goblin Museum bank card.

They pay for a tour of the museum. They’re given four beefy goblins as escorts: Gilbert (IRS suspenders), Stink Pits (no shirt, tie, cargo pants, dollar sign tattoos), Glerbnid (big feet, toes busting out of dress shoes) and Tor (eye magnifying glasses). Room one of the tour is of the banking area. Tiger Wizards’ obsession with the vault causes conflict with Glerbnid, but Warlock Roc calms the situation down. They move into the next room of weapons and goblin museum curators who laugh and threaten to disembowel Dragon Warrior after he touches the Codeine Fountain Razor and buckles to his knees.
