Eat during night shift, kiddos. Even if it runs from dinnertime to breakfast time, because you will burn more energy when you are awake.

Didn't pack food for the above reason. Ate before going in, had a few snacks and some water. Woke up towards the end of my shift for a trauma. Was struggling to get the a-line in (things had been just peachy for the last few months) when I started to feel dizzy and my vision started to blur. Handed the a-line off to my attending and went to go sit down in a chair.

"HEY, SUGAR!" Shit. Is the patient hypoglycemic? What's happening?

Oh. People are looking at me. They're saying words like "honey" and "dear" and I'm pale and shaking and sweaty. I'm still on the chair but multiple people are holding me to make sure I don't hit the ground.

They wheel me out of the OR in the chair. Two people stay with me in the hallway. One of them keeps her hand on my knee because she doesn't want me to fall. Another one goes to get me a cup of ice water. My mask has disappeared and I honestly still don't know where it went.

I sit in the chair, finish my water, people check on me. When I feel well enough, I put the chair back outside the OR and head upstairs to the anesthesia lounge to find a snack.

I feel silly and embarrassed, which I think is normal. I wish stress wasn't a vasovagal trigger at times. Everyone was very nice to me. When I come back tonight, I'm packing a dinner. I'll be smarter.

And because we need to think positive: saying I felt dizzy and stepping away was the right thing to do. I knew better than to try to push through it, which I may have tried in the past. Far better to pass out in a chair, away from the surgical field.

The first edition Lankhmar adventure modules are a bit of a strange case. They walk a narrow tightrope between feeling like an old school D&D module and also feeling like a Fritz Leiber short story. In this case, that may or may not be thanks to the presence of a number of minor characters from said stories playing a major role.

CA1: Swords of the Undercity is divided into three parts. The first concerns an expedition to the Sunken Lands to recover a lost (and, unknown to them, cursed) treasure. The second involves getting drunk (and drugged) and losing said treasure. The final installment reveals a new threat from the sewers come to reclaim the treasure.

The notion of a fantastic treasure not being worth all the hassle is a theme well suited for a game based on Leiber’s stories and the creatures at the root of the problem – corrupted humans slowly devolving into fish – is delightfully Lovecraftian. If there is any problem with the module at all, it’s that it doesn’t embrace its comedy enough. Comedy in RPGs is pretty hard, though, so I’ll give it a pass.
