Associates are called to help Gaelin rescue his son by eating their way through a King's feast.
Log
We arrived at the meeting spot on a hill outside town to meet the client Gaelin, who had a picnic table set up. The group of associates that responded to the job request consists of Theodore, Mahra, Shadefrost, Pomba and Xaku. Gaelin had some sort of deal with the Fae where his son had been taken and he had to eat a King's feast in order to get him back. Gaelin has been starving himself for a few days and asked the group to sit down. Theodore set out a bunch of Juggernaut mutagen potions out on the table for the party to use.
We rang the bell to call the Fae, and in a poof of pink dust and sparkles and a portly, hairy, balding man with fairy wings and a pink skirt appeared. He greets Gaelin and transforms the table into a larger and grander feasting table. The feast will last for 5 servings and each one will be its own eating challenge that the group has to collectively consume.
The first course is breakfast, consisting of several foot long burritos. They were loaded with eggs, bacon, potatoes, gravy, cheese and hashbrowns. The party made short work of the first portion, putting away large portions of the meal easily, lead by Pumba, Shadefrost and Xaku.
The second course made up of a mountain of chips, several pounds of pork, beef, cheese, veggies and sour cream sauce. It is quite a bit larger than the first serving. Lead by Pomba and Shadefrost again the party again quickly finishes off the course.
The third course is made up of a single meatlovers pizza, that covers the entirety of the table. The group still pushes on, with Mahra just barely being able to shovel in the last bite, but the party is definitely feeling the burn now.
The fourth course is made up of individual portions of 96 ounce steaks that drop in front of each person. This is followed by a baby sized potato with sour cream, chives and bacon bits. Finally a side salad and a pile of rolls with butter finish it up. The party still pushes through, with Xaku trying to catch up to the forever leads, Pomba and Shadefrost. Pomba also used a size changing ability to help put away more food. Theodore just barely pulls through at the end, on his last legs.
The fifth and final course is desert. It is a box with soccer ball sized scoops of icecream landing inside it, along with bananas, cherries, chocolate sauce, sprinkles and more. Shadefrost almost ends up sick but thanks to some ginger chew they manage to hold on. Mahra sacrifices herself by shoveling an extra portion down her throat before passing out. Theo follows her by finishing off the second to last portion before falling out, and Xaku finishes off the last bite.
In a celebration of the top two eaters, Pomba and Xaku, Fat Tony the Fae gives them each a coin which allows them to summon him to get a free meal at any time. Gaelin gets his son and his son's friends back, who had been foolish enough to try and outeat Fat Tony and failed. Job finishes, the party receives their payment and painfully make their way home.
