How to Host a Murder
We attended our first "How to Host a Murder" party last night. We arrived at the party at the Castle Von Morgue, in Deadbot, Transylvania, held in honor of the engagement of Neville Aster-Night and Lizzie Bordeaux. Aside from me, Glumda, the Wicked Witch of DePressed, and Asthmadeus, the Prince of Dimness, the guests included Balihi, the Rogersandhammerstein Monster; the Mummy of King Aldrinktotat; Hannibal Schecter; Angela Deth, DDS; and Madame Aretha Garlique.
Imagine our surprise to find our host, Neville, dead; literally drained of all life-force, charrred, and missing his heart! His remains were identifiable only due to his dental records, held by Dr. Deth. Of course we were all considered suspects, but, as the first to be exonerated, I knew I had not done the foul deed.
Well, as it turns out, many of my fellow guests DID indeed have something to do with the murder. I won't go into the gory details, but the ultimate party responsible for poor Neville's death will pay the final price, as the deceased was not actually Neville. That sham clairvoyant, Madame Garlique stole a page from my spellbook, and switched bodies with Neville, himself. So the body that was found was that of Neville, but the soul it contained was Aretha's. Hmm, imagine what Neville will feel the first time he experiences certain female concerns....
A few more pictures can be seen at Madame Garlique's...ahem...Becka's webpage on her Halloween 2004 entry.

In someways I missed having a big Halloween gathering with all the friends. I had a great Halloween though, but I certainly hope we can still have a big bash somewhere from time to time on Halloween. Maybe I need to get the invitations out tomorrow?

So tell me why you don't want to play D&D again? ;-)
