The gang found themselves in the service of a cloister of Tortle nuns praying upon the back of a centuries-dead (and still rotting) gargantuan sea turtle. Gross. 🐢🤢

The dead turtle island had become overrun by packs of wild family dogs, so it was time for solutions. Time for adventure!

The Flight of Dave: Favio, Cleric of Gander (god of geese), flew in on Dave, a giant goose, alongside his companion Pumbelina. After a rough landing, Pumbelina lost her ear. Favio tried to heal it using goose s**t. It caused a nasty infection, shocking absolutely no one. 🦠

The Barrel Roll: Chester and Nedward were next to ride Dave to the island, accompanied by Samantha, the lead Tortle monk. Dave had another bad landing day, doing a barrel roll and dumping them waist-deep into rotting turtle flesh.

The Rise of the Sentient Pack: The wild dogs quickly found the second group. Samantha tried to hide in her shell, but peeked out at the wrong moment. The dogs made quick work of her, tunneling through the shell for the tasty bits. This critical attack didn’t just kill Samantha—it allowed the pack leader to gain full sentience by donning her shell. 🐕🦴

Escalation: Nedward managed to get some dogs to sit for pets, while Chester convinced them to keep on eating. The dogs went after the remaining tortles, turning a regular wild dog problem into a wild sentient dog problem.

Mad Max, Canine Edition: Favio and Pumbelina struggled to track the pack (hard to find paw prints when the dogs are all bi-pedal now). They stumbled upon a Mad Max-style settlement where dogs in Tortle shells ruled the land. Naturally, Pumbelina tripped on the way in, flew into a rage, and killed everything.

With the island completely destroyed, Favio sought guidance from Gander, aligning the crew in a flying V. Gander appeared, honked, and blessed them the only way a goose god knows how: 💩
Gross. Gross. And more gross.

Having an actual monster in the party has its challenges. But it keeps the days exciting! Will she help the party save a life? Will she find a way to destroy the world? Who knows!?

Come on out this Thursday to support everyone’s best friend, Nedward DeBlarian.

Nedward’s our Paladin. Our good bud. Unless of course the audience chooses something horrifying as his code/creed. We’ve certainly had a few evil Nedward’s over the years.

Last we met, the crew was taking a break at the local carnival.

Favio, Cleric of Brosef (God of the Manosphere), was looking for “high value females” with Nedward “F@$& Ice” DeBlarian. They hit the high striker game in the kiddie section so Favio could prove how ripped he was. It failed. Favio threw his back out, ripped his pants, and exposed himself physically and emotionally to the crowd.

Favio appealed to Brosef, who spoke through the strongest person nearby (Nedward). Brosef gifted Favio steroids to compete in the strongman games.

Meanwhile, Chester and Hagrietta followed a “stank” across the grounds until they found a necromancer’s crypt. They accidentally released a zombie horde, and Chester took a necromancer’s blade to the leg. Hagrietta claimed the blade, but Chester was doomed to turn.

Favio entered the strongman games against the reigning champ. He held his own in the rock smash, but then came the Boulder Hold. The champ held 7 boulders; Favio tried for more, hoping the power of Brosef and Nedward’s muscle-puns would carry him. It didn’t. Favio was crushed to death in front of every high value female in the land.

Zombies flooded the arena. Nedward teamed up with the former strongman to fight the horde. He even tried a truce with his mortal enemy, the snow cone vendor… but truces never last in a zombie fight.

Chaos reigned. The strongman and snow cone vendor were zombified. Brosef continued to speak through Nedward. Favio was resurrected via the necromancer blade; he resisted zombification because his manosphere brain was too simple to be infected.

Everyone watched in silence as the zombie strongman and Favio wrestled. Both were too bulky and greased up to get any purchase on one another. It became something new. Something pure.

And then Chester tried to eat Hagrietta’s brain.

Let’s roll some more dice together on Thursday, May 28!

We found out today that Court Square Theater is closing.

Unacceptable. We do hereby declare war.

(Also, we do hereby declare we may need to find friendly waters to sail our show for 2026).

For our second anniversary show Frederick hired the crew of the SS Depression to help him seek the greatest treasure of all…friendship.

The crew consisted of:
Lucky, a cursed pirate dealing with menopause.
Seph, three octopi stacked on top of one another.
Pauly, a parrot from south Boston.
Sirena, a siren who mostly summons drunken dolphins with her voice.
Captain Pingpong, the captain, willing to slit Frederick’s throat if they didn’t make some serious cash.
Chef Ramsey, hungry…and maybe a little too thirsty.

None of them were looking for new friends…so off to Friendship Island they went!

Friendship Island was filled with book clubs and crochet circles. Unfortunately, some of the salty crew decided to take “ARR!” out of friendship and engage in a little fiendship. Drunken dolphins and menopausal manslaughter filled the night.

In the end the island was left torn apart over disagreements on Frederick’s inclusion. But the crew themselves grew closer together.

Captain Pingpong was ready to end Frederick’s life when the crew stepped in and committed a friendship-driven mutiny!

DM note: these last two years have been magical. Thank you to the crew of Friendly City Fables, our Rocktown Improv family, thank you Court Square Theatre, and thank YOU our fabulous audience for joining us every month for this experimental show. Apologies to any regional dice retailers as we may have flooded the local market by giving away over 250 bags of dice since we started;) see you in 2026!
