Friday night of that week saw The London Crew in my gurps rpg prepare for the assault on 30 St Mary's Axe. Both the Chinese Masterchef and The Shopkeeper got in contact with Lord Saranathan the Weretiger/Raksha/Sorceror/Maneater? and Nightclub Owner to see if he could help with rearguard against evil Fishmen, and got a fairly good response, except that, due to his dispute with The Scary Voiced Greek Guy, he will not look out for him. Or WILL look out for him, if you know what I mean.
So they get some clues from a nearby itinerate street guy, who is apparently later whisked away by Saranathan for protection, and later, after scoping the place out, Orthrus getting distracted by some trading going on in there...whilst the Chinese chef and Sara, the foundling from our London watch out from above.
Anyway, comes dark, and in they all go, where they find the basement opens out into some tunnels under the building. They find one of the missing people, not in a good way, as apparently he's been...infested with a large eel like creature. The eel refuses to leave the host even when he's stabbed and poisoned...in fact, after it takes a few chunks out of him and retreats into his stomach (having been emerging through his mouth) he seems to considerably improve. No thanks to the Scary Voiced Greek Guy, who is wearing a mask he found in one of the crates he opened.
Shennanigans ensue. Lord Sentanta who has also been asked to attend by the good chef, (with plaintive requests from young Convruth that can we visit The Crystal Palace properly - SOOON) has brought along a couple of fellows and they're having a grand old time, charging any fishman they see and wreaking havoc amongst the maze of twisty little passages all alike.
So there are now several dead Fishman, including, apparently a mage who got out fireballed by...er, was it TSVGG? Probably.
Of, course, now Jonathon the Architect is missing in the battle, the dark and the confusion.
And that's about all I remember. Feel free to jog my memory. I think I've done a pretty good reminisce so far. But if I haven't remembered, of course I'm going to think that.
