There was no Gossip this week. This was apparently due to a Nightmare in the printing press, which some of the Wessex Arms regulars went to deal with, and Evelyn successfully exorcised.
Evangeline held a picnic.
Earnest did a Ritual.
Edgar summoned Umbra (yes, the Elemental Lord of Darkness) in a ritual to try to sort out Mary.
This went somewhat wrong when Mary went a little, er, crazy-demon-possessed and attacked Umbra, leading to a fight across half of the bar. It all sorted itself out in the end, though (somehow Mary even survived).
During the fight, Nell went apparently catatonic and didn't respond to anything for several minutes, before recovering and charging over to Mary, who was lying injured. Everyone in the immediate vicinity of Nell and Mary was miraculously healed. Cue confusion, and discussion.
Betsy turned out to be an Azraelite, rather than a Humacti. There was much running and much shouting.
Ghosts turned up in the bar en masse. Alric, Cornelius and Evangeline played lay-to-rest-a-mole with them.
Red demons attacked. They were sorted out.
Edgar tried a spell to properly kill a demon, and got a dead demon out of it and a nasty message from the other demons.
There were pirates.
There was a relic merchant. Someone stole his relic right when one of the rituals was going on, apparently.
