Last night before Heftymetals
phargle and
ifetus came over and made Luther Burgers. It's essentially a hamburger, but the bun is replaced with a glazed donut. All in all it tasted like a burger, but with a donut for a bun. I declined a whole burger and instead cooked up some bacon, split a donut in half, fried the cut part in bacon grease, and then made a bacon sandwich out of the whole thing. It may not have been a Luther Burger but it was definitely in the spirit of the thing. That is, delicious and unhealthy.
Heftymetals went pretty good. Only one encounter, not counting a skill challenge that went iffy, but the balance of the encounter went pretty well. After experiencing a vision of Bahamut (Bahammed) in the sewers the cousins (and Melon) roamed about the streets of the wartorn Bamblebrook, trying and failing to avoid enemy patrols. Then they stumbled on a hobgoblin band transporting an ochre jelly toward the walls of Glitterbeard. In the ensuing battle the container of said jelly was broken open and the hobgob minions scattered, one or two escaping, while the heroes dealt with the new threat. Afterward they hid from approaching danger and we stopped just before a gnoll huntsmaster and his attendant hyenas discovered their hiding spot.
Next week, more hefting of metal, and also we start Burrito Quest '09. Our goal: A different burrito from Santa Fe Express for the rest of the year. Should complement the exercise challenge well.
