Session 13 coming up!

Hey folks. We're playing tonight, it'll be lucky session 13. Haven't seen Heather's notes yet on the last two games, so maybe next week we'll get a mega-write up of sessions 11, 12 and 13. For those trying to follow along at home, suffice to say that the party spent session 11 at the yellow-fog-shrouded Swamp Castle, actually officially known as Castle Dripthorn. The occupants of which (old man Thil, old woman Mil, the burly Neg-Nock, and mangy dog Woofsie) proved to be very hospitable. The party, however, suspicious of the Dripthorn people and their absent master Count Zynrnd (who was out hunting), responded by sneaking into the library in the dead of night and stealing what they wanted: a spell book for Ronson the M-U. They also made off with another, strange book, locked shut. 

During the next session, Bolin finally figured out how to open that book, though (flipping it over and opening it backwards, sort of). It was in an unknown tongue, however, and the only words in Common were notes in the margins that said something about a "Carcosan Grimoire"... also there was a diagram of what appeared to be a shining trapezoid... 

After some wilderness encounters (with giant leeches in the swamp, who kill Stonk's horse, and at night with a giant eagle that nearly makes off with the sleeping Danth), the party returned to Loamville and entered into the dungeon beneath the Grinding Gear yet again, where they find the other party they'd left there some days before, tied up and sleep-ing, has apparently been eaten by giant beetles. They kill the beetles and also some giant centipedes, and finally end the session in conversation with a troll stuck in a pit (thanks to Ronson speaking trollish).

There were several good quotes from these two sessions, one of which had something to do with "the transitive property of XP ingestion".
