PULLED PORK IS PEOPLE
You Are What You Eat Session One
Having more or less been kicked out of Gamwell, Burney, Chaz, and Seamus start the long drive back north. Two hours into their trip, hunger pains hit Chaz and Seamus, causing them to browbeat Burney into stopping at the first diner they see.
They stop into Rusty’s Diner, a bit of a dingy joint but the menu proclaimed that it had “the best burgers and pulled pork in the state ten years running”.
They decided to leave their rifles and shotguns in the car and brought only their handguns.
A bell rang when they opened the door, and shortly after, a man in his early twenties appeared and introduced himself. His name was Skip Barter and he told the guys to grab a menu and grab a seat wherever they wanted. Rusty would be along shortly to take their order.
As they went towards the bar, they noticed that the door to the women’s restroom was off one of it’s hinges. This place wasn’t in the best of condition. They perused the menu, and Chaz and Seamus decided to go for burgers, fries, and shakes. Burney wanted some pulled pork and a Coke. For the cocaine.
Eventually Rusty showed up and gave them the whole song and dance about them having the best burgers and pulled pork in the state ten years running. Then he took their order and was off to flip some burgers.
In the meanwhile, Chaz went off to the men’s room to clean up and Burney declared that he was going to check out the ladies’ room.
Keeper: WHAT
Burney: Not the restroom! Just the door!
Keeper: …..sure.
Burney inspected the door and noticed that a scuffle occurred and had knocked the door off a hinge. Rusty came back with their food and Burney promptly forgot about the door.
Nom nom nom
Seamus wolfed down his burger while Chaz and Burney were enjoying the food. Which is why they found the severed fingers in their burgers and sandwiches. Seamus ate whatever was possibly in his burger.
The discovery that the food IS PEOPLE turned their stomachs and they began violently retching around the bar. Skip came in to find out what was going on, and the guys began demanding answers. Skip turned to start running.*
(Note: I ended up playing Skip incorrectly. The book states that he is loyal and would fight to the death and I turned him into a cowering idiot. Oh well.)
Burney and Seamus attempted to knock out Skip, but Skip was able to dodge their blows. Then Chaz brought the THUNDER and Skip dodged directly into the THUNDER’s path. Hurting but still conscious, Skip ran through the kitchen and out the back door.
They followed out the back door and found themselves in a heavily forested area. Looking around, they saw a shed, a church, and a house in the distance. Chaz was trying to determine if he was looking at the Big Dipper. Muffled screams were coming from the shed and Skip was still making a break for it. Seamus pulled out his pistol, took aim, and hit Skip in the leg, causing him to stumble and yelp in pain.
Burney walked up to him and put his gun to Skip’s head, demanding to know why there were fingers in the food. Skip’s only response that it was just a joke, but the guy’s weren’t buying it. As Skip begged and pleaded, Seamus and Chaz noticed that he was pulling out a knife. Burney determined that Chaz was looking at the Big Dipper. Seamus shot and grazed Skip while Chaz decided to bring the THUNDER and crushed Skip’s skull.
Heading over to investigate the shed, Seamus opened the door and peeked inside. The shed was a slaughterhouse where Rusty prepared meat for the customers. Hooks lined the ceiling and a large meat grinder sat on a long table against the opposite wall. Also on the table was the torso of a human female. Her limbs had been cut off and her head was on the end of the table.
Chaz blanched at the sight, while Seamus and Burney were unaffected. Burney’s seen worse.
Chaz decided to head back to their car and grab the guns. Yeah, that won’t end in tears. The other two walked in and found a young lady hanging from one of the hooks.
Burney: Wait, is she hanging from the hook? From the skin on her back?
Keeper: Dunno, you can’t tell.
Burney walked up to her and asked “How’s it hanging?” Seamus kicked him in the shins.
Thus ends the first session.
Notes: I ran YAWYE because it’s a good transitory adventure, and it has a bit more focus on combat than the Crack’d did. I wouldn’t say that I’m running this one underprepared but I would say I’m running it fast and loose. Depending on how the players play this, they may get their first glimpses of magic and might get themselves an NPC ally. As long as they have fun, I’ll have had fun. Of course one thing I wouldn’t mind is if I could get one more player for the group.
