The Collective - Session 30

This is the thirtieth session in The Collective campaign and the second in the Journey Plans, Benefit Concerts sub-arc of the Treasure of Captain Lofy Arc.

Summary
SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1001: After a fiasco in the kitchen involving half a tuna and a lot of fire, the Collective worked on their act for the benefit concert later the next day. Gnorbitt would roll, there would be a magic trick with a tearaway dress, Gorrn would juggle Roscoe and Gnorbitt, etc. Gorrn went out into the woods to hunt down a bear (narrowly avoiding death) while the rest of the party went out into the cold city markets to acquire what they needed for the performance. Badger and Rosanhi went to a tailor to acquire the dress, while Gnorbitt went to a music shop tucked away inside of the market. Gnorbitt met the owner of the shop, a Blue Dragonborn by the name of Tanvir Amir-Aba, who sold him a giant, long pipe and a big gong. After their shopping trips, Gnorbitt revealed the big pipe that he purchased and, upon learning from Roscoe that it was nothing more than an airship pipe, began to have intense flashbacks from his past, freaking the fuck out in front of everyone before passing out and spasming. Seeing this, Rosanhi began to freak out as well, being bombarded by the dreams that she had been avoiding the past night. Both Rosanhi and Gnorbitt started disassociating with reality, causing Roscoe (who is old) to begin having heart palpitations because of the stress of the situation. Gorrn, in an attempt to rectify the situation, picked up Gnorbitt's unconscious body and began screaming to assert his dominance, shaking him awake and causing him to begin screaming again. Roscoe slumped to the floor as Badger ran upstairs to Gnorbitt's room to grab the dwoints that he had stored in his end table. After sparking some dwoints and calming down, Gorrn entered Roscoe's mindscape and brought him back into the real world before the party had a smoke circle, put Vega to bed, then went and got some food at an inn.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 7, 1001: Now recovered from the events of the night prior, the party headed down to the Shaky Cabin Inn to see that the venue was packed. They met with Madeline to brief over their performance plans before breaking away to mingle with the crowd or to begin their performances. Badger transformed into "Rosanhey" and interacted with Calhoun very awkwardly. Gorrn did his juggling act with Roscoe and Gnorbitt well enough, then Rosanhey joined them on stage to perform the magic trick, "switching" Rosanhey with Delorean, who went out into the crowd to interact. During these acts, Rosanhi was approached by a large Human man wearing a fox cloak, who expressed that he'd heard of them and revealed that he knew of a potential boat that they could acquire if they wanted to take a voyage on the sea. Over the course of the concert, this man (who introduced himself as Gossard), met with the rest of the party and learned bits of information from all of them. Gnorbitt totally fucked up his rolling act, then went to smoke some dweed behind the stage. Rosanhi began drinking with Gorrn before the Collective Funk (their band name) headed onto stage to perform the new Paradeen anthem, composed by Roscoe. Rosanhi and Gnorbitt really fucked up, but Badger, Roscoe, and Gorrn managed to salvage the performance, securing plenty of donations to the orphanage. Hooray for philanthropy!
