This week, Bangarang, Oxley, Mica, and Vaca begin to explore the innards of the tarrasque. They find two members of the Ironfield, both worse for wear, and discover that years of hard living and avoiding the doctor have left the tarrasque's organs in a terrible state.
We want to take a moment to wish everyone a Merry Tarrasquemas, and hope you get your Tarrasquemas cake and all the wondrous items you asked for!

This week, we begin our anniversary game! We are joined by special guests Hannah Miller (@Bad8uddhist), Mary Crowell (@DrMaryCCrowell), and Eric Holden (@goblinscorner) as we slog through "The Tarrasque Task of Moreen Trask".
The quiet desert town of Dubufi is rudely awakened when the gnomish archmage Moreen Trask flies in, being chased by a 600-foot-tall, 1200-foot-long living apocalypse engine. She convinces the party that there is an item that can neutralize the beast, but with one caveat: the item was eaten, along with its most recent wielder. After some ingenuity and collateral damage, the party makes an unconventional entrance and must now muck about the beast's innards in search of the artifact Blightspore.
