Good evening FAWTLY Folk! The wife, boy, and I had a great Day out with Thomas. Charlie really had a blast, as did his parents. I especially enjoyed seeing the steam engines kind of up close, but wish I could have gotten a bit closer.

It was at the Strasburg Rail Road here in Pennsylvania, about an hour and a half east of Philly. The Day out with Thomas is usually held there. Strasburg also has a rail road museum, and a museum of toy trains.
I believe the Thomas thing is done once a year in each state. I know in Texas it takes place in Austin. Not sure if it's the same Thomas in each location, or if they have multiple ones around the country.
In other news, Charlie has been throwing up this evening. So there's that....
I blame vomit guy.
Actually, we think it must have been something he ate. Poor kid puked three times last night, but the last time was nowhere near as bad as the other two. And this morning he seems to be feeling a lot better, but we'll see.
Still a good bit more packing to do. The tricky stuff comes now - plates and glasses. For some of them I have boxes they came in. Others it's gonna bit...fun......

Happy Fathers Day all those it pertains to!
I don't celebrate it myself (it feels s bit Hallmark holiday to me). But, I hope all you out there who do get done kickass ties!
Ties?!?! I need new shoulder pads for hockey so I am going for that. Although it looks like Father's Day is going to involve errands, a trip to the zoo, and my hockey game tonight.

Back from session. This time it was full of sex and no combat.
Session:
The main part of the sessions was inaugural party of the newly opened bordello to which some of the PCs seriously contributed* and even considered investing actual money into it (they didn't as the party fighter decided to buy mithril plate armor and others decided that they prefer to save/buy some other things). The session was spent on interacting with NPCs, introducing some new NPCs and adding depth to existing ones, lots of in-character jokes and discussions regarding sex, sexuality and then everyone except the paladin who shows no interest in sex went to enjoy companionship provided at site (threesome with one of the working boys and an NPC friend with benefits in case of bard). Later they were given a few options about their future adventure and decided to organize direct assault against one of areas full of monsters in monster-infested city district.
In the background of the session was visit of enemy envoys send by "rightful heir to the ducal throne of the city with the blessing of Lord Bane". As fr as the party knows envoys left the human-controlled part of the city after unsuccessful request for surrender of the current city council.
*:
The bordello is a enterprise started by three city guardsmen who are party friends and who became moderately rich after finding and selling a couple of magic items in the cellars of a kobold-infested building. After the building was burned down. By a fire started when a stray fiery eldritch bolt ignited kobolds' stash of flamables. When the party's levitating halfling warlock was using suppression fire to prevent kobolds on a second floor from oil flask-bombing the players in front of the building.
Another players' contribution was actually suggesting opening bordello to the three NPCs when they wondered what to do with the acquired money during a small party (Jak, Dak and Zak felt they owe the PCs at least a barrel of good wine for not finding the treasure during their foray thus allowing the NPCs finding it when they searched the conflagration**.
**:
Dictionary tells me that conflagration can mean both the big fire and place left after the fire but I don't recall any time when I would actually see "conflagration" used in the second sense. Am I missing something or is the dictionary wrong?
I got my old man a cool gift. A birdhouse shaped like a cat ( he likes both so win/win). I had a busy day doing yard chores. Now, inaugural True Blood in a bit over two hours
