Session 18 - Just About to Go All Sid James: The Blue Pyramid is not quite as we expect. For one thing, it’s not on fire even when we leave it.
Welcome to @Shimmin who has joined our merry band of idiots.

How insulting!
“Merry” indeed.

I’m not really bearded enough to be merry. It’s quite a hirsute term.
Somehow survived the first session, so things are looking good so far. Better than expected, at least.

Did Nick ever solve the mystery of the fly invasion?
Surely, he Musca spent a lot of time searching for clues.

Session 20 - Take You Up the Naze: We start to plumb the mysteries of Misr House. For which the most important piece of equipment is a decent-quality fountain pen and an official-looking notebook.

Seems like that one single local pub has quite a number of names:
- The Black Tankard
- The Blind Milkmaid & Smiling Bull
- The Gobbling Hobgoblin
- The Old Pizzle
- The Saucy Majordomo
- The Slaugh… No, sorry: The Slotted Lamb
Probably some sort of tax dodge, registering multiple names for the same establishment.

There’s a pub in my usual Tunnels & Trolls setting called The Dog & Haemorrhage.

“Waxing gibbous?”
“Nah, they don’t even really clean the place.”
“Hang on, that’s not what I me-”
“Once a year, on Walpurgis Night, they just move all the furniture outta the way, and herd a Shoggoth across the floor, so it can absorb some of the detritus.”
“…Oh, dear.”

I wish to dissociate myself from this thread. Both professionally and morally.

It’s a nice pub, just across the street from The Ogre’s Lung. Usually. Things move about in Drollport.

Accountants might deal with capital, but getting struck in the head while your back’s turned is a bit too de-capital.

Pharaoh’s breath, Nick’s very difficult poo, not to mention the usual Whartson Hall-related miscellany of blood, sweat, and acid reflux… And of course, the episode title! A veritable cavalcade of dysfunctional bodily functions!
Dare I say… a cascade, even!
