HackMoor 2018/08/23 Offing an Ettin named Marc (short)
#1
Games are on Thursday nights sometime after 6:30PM at World's Best Comics, 9714 Warwick Blvd Newport News, Virginia 23601.

We had an extra large meat lover's pizza, rather than remove pepperoni for our intransigent pepperoni hater, I had them put the pepperoni only on one half of it.

PART 1.

++++ START OF SESSION ++++

We continued building the returning Player's character and had only time for one encounter afterwards.  It was an Ettin named Marc Bolan to which they promptly dispatched both heads.  It was a guard Ettin, whose only job was to sound an alarm in the case of intruders.  They killed it so quickly the only chance it has was the possibility it would hit the gong on its death fall.  Since there are 8 facings in any combat I judged it's head would bang a gong if I rolled a one.  It did not however, get it on.

One item of note, since I was short of Player cards I offered a Wish for anyone turning in fifteen of them.  Jacko promptly took advantage of it.  

The wish is still being worked on.

I don't get it. Marc Bolan was a T. Rex, not a Bogle.

Fun fact #764: Even though roughly half his songs make some kind of reference to cars, Marc was deathly scared of them and never learned to drive. "Ironically," he died as a passenger in a single-car crash where the driver suffered only a broken arm and jaw.

I simply used the monster at hand and the gong for the reference. Only one player understood it anyway.
