Physically back and trying to be mentally back as well (Patreon)

Back from our friends' and it was a magnificent get-away. 

The highlight was that I managed to convince them to try Dungeons and Dragons. I wrote up a one-shot in 36 hours before we left about two rival medieval breweries. 

The hook was that the owner of one of the breweries had accidentally changed herself into a were-rat and became a Bat-Man style villain; bent on using alchemy to poison the rival's beer so it changed humans into giant rats (with the help of humanoid rat henchmen that she 'elevated' from normal rats.

At one point, the party was interviewing the villain and she offered them all some of her beer. All but one only pretended to drink. The other was turned into a humanoid rat and fell into an enchanted sleep for three hours (if this party member had rolled a bit differently they'd have been Charmed by the villain!). They did a great job at RPing waking up as a humanoid rat.

So, this party member spent the rest of the game as a humanoid rat. In addition to their normal Ranger skills, they also got advantage on perception checks involving smell and now had a bite attack. They really got into it and kept using their smell instead of normal perception checks. 

In the end, the villain was defeated but, the Ranger was a humanoid rat forever. 

Hope your week was at least as fun as mine
