"Better Nate than Never." (Excerpt from "Finger Food for Oozes Cookbook" included)

Hey all,

For the past two sessions of my Caen campaign, our heroes have been a lil' bit busy. Their sword arms were working overtime and in the matter of a day, they had already cleaved off the head of the dictator, Mib Tranor and indirectly caused the death of their long-time nemesis - Nate Bankers after encountering him in the underground dungeon of Greenich.

Our resident transmuter/rich man's son/wayward gayboy was trapped by the party, and ravaged by hungry oozes in the cavern that he had been hiding in for the past week . They must have felt that Nate was quite a delicacy, as there was almost nothing left of him, except a partially digested lizardman decoration earring.

Kind of a mixed feelings thingy, as the party wanted to bring Nate back to Maya for trial. Technically, Nate is "still" going back to Maya, except that he would be testifying as a bone ornament in a tiny bottle I suppose.

As of now, we will be taking a short break from Caen, while allowing Shell to start a bit of his new campaign (slated all the way to Epic, I heard.) I will be bringing you more of the happenings, including 9d20's New Year's stuff for gamers.

Okay, now for the Finger Food for Oozes excerpt that I had promised to show you.

Enjoy and cook well, all.

Ooze's Babi Ponteh (Page 82: Simple Underground Delicacies of the North)
Ingredients
A slab of Human or Boar (Human preferred for tangier taste), Ooze's acidic goo, a dabbling of common salt, three teaspoons of vinegar, and grounded mud granules.

Directions
1.Take the slab of something and hack it into comfortable munching bite-sizes.
2.Fry the pieces in a pan for about six turns. Add in the common salt and the mud granules, taking care to dabble evenly on the exposed parts of the human/boar.
3.The vinegar should be added next onto the active stack. Let it simmer in the pan, allowing it to take ongoing fire damage (5) for another ten turns.
4.Finally, throw in the acidic goo as an aggressive afterthought, and serve the dish as an immediate reaction to a hungry stomach.
5. Done properly, the OBP should be gobbled up in no time at all , until save ends. (with a -2 penalty)
