Easter Fools’ Day Shenanigans
In short:
I opened the session with a plot-relevant Monty Python reference: It’s a sad day, as Brian of Nazareth, believed by some to be the Messiah (though some, notably his mother, have been heard to claim he was “just a very naughty boy”), has been crucified.
The session opens, our heroes are investigating where someone broke into his tomb and stole his body. Two someones, in fact: a person and a giant rabbit
They chased down the rabbit first, but she had split from the other tomb robber earlier and didn’t have the body. They did retrieve the original easter egg, though, and learned that the other tomb robber was possessing the body of the April Fool and planning to raid the Roman Treasury that night.
Then they summoned the Tooth Fairy to tell them where the April Fool was, and tracked him down to the basement of a bar. They scammed her by knocking out some teeth and then time-reversing over that, so she filed a police report with the time cops.
They got caught trying to sneak in and three of them got knocked out with laughing gas. The fourth caught a glimpse of the person catching them: white clown makeup and green hair. So naturally, given the combination of evil clown plus laughing gas, he went off to change into a bat suit to chase him down.
The Bat-Bard got caught sneaking up behind the Joker and got squirted with chlorinated swimming pool water in the eyes from the Joker’s lapel flower. In the meantime the Joker was about to dip the party Cleric and Fighter into a pit of crocodiles and had the wizard tied to a chair to make him watch.
A fight broke out, the Wizard got knocked on the head when his chair got pushed over backwards, the Fighter burst the ropes and launches himself and the Cleric off each other to freedom. They brought down a bunch of assorted barrels and ended up catching the Joker and splashing the whole cellar with wine and honey mustard.
Then, simultaneously, a pair of Time Cops and a patrol of Roman Legionnaires showed up to arrest everyone.
The party ends up trying to escape. Mary the Cleric gets free with Brian’s body, which the Joker was trying (and failing) to use to transform water into wine. A brief brawl happens between Olive the Fighter and the Romans before the Time Cops intervene and blast everyone with their stun lasers.
Mary gets swarmed by Brian’s followers and they march off to return him to his tomb to await his proper ressurrection, which she believes will happen.
The rest of the party gets arrested by Time Cops and tossed in a cell with the Joker, and then tunnels through time from their holding cell into the time of the dinosaurs.
