There is something inside me and they don't know if there is a cure

A little late putting this up on account of asshole dog. He demanded to go out immediately upon waking, and then I figured I'd make breakfast early, since my sister has a mother's day lunch with the inlaws at 12pm.

We have some bananas, still not 100% ripe, but super sweet, so I made bastardized bananas foster pancakes. No flambé owing to no rum, and a touchy smoke alarm, but I added a little tawny port to give the sauce that boozy flavor. It turned out super well, and was delicious and very filling. I didn't even make the bacon to go with it, and it was enough. The bananas really bulked it up, I think.

Today, aside from running my sister to aforementioned inlaws, I have nothing planned. Just a day of preparing games, and taking it easy. Next week is a four game weekend, plus one on Wednesday night, so I will be getting shit together to DM three of those games. Every one of them are homebrew, so I really need to get on the prep train.

We only had one game this weekend, which was yesterday. It was the risen Atlantis one, which was a lot of fun. We started out with a naval battle, during which our heroes nearly died, and finished with them finally making it to the island and starting the whirl of the social season. A whole lot of characters introduced, and a lot of role play. It was super fun. Some of these characters, I've been living with for a couple of months, so it was cool to finally introduce them. Everyone had a good time, including me, so I'm happy. We're into lunch conversation, so that'll probably take up another 1/3-1/2 of a session, and then they'll have a little time to explore before they get to the royal audience with the queen. (Them and all the other courtiers.)

The battle was super fun. I got to introduce a couple of adversaries, like a Way of the Ascendant Dragon monk, and a Spite Domain cleric. They're both high level and super scary. The monk gets five attacks per round, and the cleric can summon a demon. I'm looking forward to bringing them to the island and making the party interact with them under a treaty of non aggression. That should be hilarious.

Wednesday we shall have Blades in the Dark, and possibly finish the arc that we've been doing for three games.

Then Friday is Frostmaiden, with another big roleplay episode as the cleric faces their academic bosses and tries to justify their abscence after completing the mission that was set for them. Also, their participation in multiple god slaying activities. They left a first level cleric and are coming back an ultra powerful 20th level near-god, but that's probably not going to matter.

Then, Saturday, it's back to Atlantis in the morning, and off to Monster of the Week in the evening. They oddly will be going to the undersea to deal with the fey court, so I can reuse some of my maps!

Aside from that, there's a possible trip to the farmer's market on Tuesday and work. I have a very exciting life.

Whoops, turns out that my sister is not going owing to the BIL being sick. She's prepping for a big move at work, so she can't afford to get sick, and decided to stay home. Yay, I can make cookies!

I've got pork marinating in char sui sauce, so that will be dinner sorted. A little bit of Rice, a little bit of pork and sauce and we'll be good.

And now, I'm off to do some prep, and get myself together. Everyone have an awesome Sunday!
