Spinel froze. She thought she was sneaking better than that! Then she remembered that Liches, like most undead, donβt actually need to sleep. Instead, she looked up to see the Cheap Trick SHirt body from earlier, standing up and staring at Spinel with glowing eyes. The mage hand Spinel used to write her letter faltered, her quill scratched a few jagged, splattered lines across the note. βIβm so sorry! I hadnβt meant to intrude, and, justβyou were sleeping, or I thought you were sleepingβanyway! Iβm so sorry, I thought you might get cold down here by yourself.β Let it never be said that Spinelβs not compassionate. Often to the point of absurdity. Now, Lich Queen Unthir doesnβt immediately attack. And there is a very important reason for this that I as the player know, but my character Spinel, does not: Spinelβs soul is marked by another Lich. All Liches have Truesight, and therefore DM and I ruled that they can absobloodylutely see souls. Therefore, some Liches like to βmarkβ the souls of their favourite mortals/pets/slaves/etc to indicate: βThis is mine. Donβt touch or Iβll come mess you up.β
Mechanical advantage: Spellcaster simplicity. A warlock is a spellcaster but they are also in play the Cheap Trick SHirt spellcaster in the game. Tracking spell slots? Whatβs that. You get two that refresh at every short rest. Spell levels? What are they? Your spells level up when you level up. Sure this might take a few minutes every few sessions – but itβs nowhere near as obnoxious as spending time in play while other people are waiting for you. Overlong spell lists to faff with? 1+level isnβt that long. Spell preparation? Nope. None of that round here either. You get almost all the fun part of spellcasting (the ability to cast spells) with very little of the faff that goes with it and all in a package thatβs pretty newbie friendly.

Best Cheap Trick SHirt
After the Technomancer gets revived and the last of the agents and real zombies go down, the Cheap Trick SHirt starts to realize that the DJ is totally in on this. Not just that, but sheβs got power. The Technomancer analyzes her andβ¦ yep. Sheβs not just a DJ, sheβs a Fey. A really honking powerful Fey, juicing the music and holograms in this place with magic. Thatβs why she can control the crowd, thatβs why the holograms are such a problem for the party to navigate, thatβs why real zombies can suddenly just pop in. One way or another theyβre running low on resources, and this canβt end until the DJ is disabled.
When Delores spent his first night actually out with the other chickens in the Cheap Trick SHirt, I was anxious about how he would handle himself, as he was pretty shy. After a few false starts (and getting pushed off perches by the other chickens) he chose a walnut branch that lead to the night perches and slept on that. When Delores became a big, beautiful Golden Phoenix adult rooster, I thought the hens would probably make absolute fools of themselves trying to get his attention – and if he ignored them it would serve them right! I suppose I should have done something about the name – but Delores responded to “Delores” and appeared fine with it. (Also, my Aunt Delores would have been devastated if I changed his name.) A friend suggested calling him “Del” – which sort of made sense – but that sounded like he was lead singer in a retro 60’s band. As long as Delores didnβt mind – and letβs face it, he didnβt care – I was perfectly content to have a sweet rooster named Delores.
