THEORY - Maddgoth's Castle is linked to Dweomercore University. This is some kind of faculty / admin center that was subsequently taken over by a Giant.

GAME NOTES

We hear voices in the courtyard on the ground floor and see 4 odd characters including Maddgoth himself. Mira casts Pass without Trace and we continue to try and explore the top floor.

SE (5o) room is empty with broken stained glass

E (3o) has bats and a large wood frame. The bats turn into Nycaloths and attack. A pitched battle ensues, and just as we get the better of them Maddgoth appears at the head of the stairs and orders everyone to stand down. He demands our business in his castle, but is generally friendly and bids us follow him downstairs for a meal.

We end up in a dining room on the ground floor (3o) with an attached kitchen (2o). Introductions are made, Ceol pretends to be "Reggie" and Maddgoth is very interested in Jitters and the arcane arts. The drag performers are: Gisstra, Emerald, & Polly Morph.

When asked to explain the castle, Maddgoth explains that Halaster Blackcloak made it and let it fall to ruin, I brought it back. He is not friends with Halaster and thinks Dweomercore is a bunch of nerds.

The flute music is the "Giants trying to learn the flute, they are crazy". The castle has a "pest problem" in the form of a faerie dragon, and the faerie dragon and Maddgoth's homonculous fight all the time.

Regarding the drag performers, he claims to have met them in one of the great taverns of Baldurs Gate.

The drag performers feign tiredness and are slipped a bag of drugs on the way out the door. Maddgoth follows soon after, followed by sounds of sexy-time partying.

Maddgoth said his beds have 1 hour = a LONG REST so we retire to a middle floor room (4o) to try to rest.

3 shifts later we are all refreshed. Ceol thinks the whole thing smells off and suggests we may want to just take the castle but people are opposed to the idea. He talks the group into dealing with the "pest problem" on the 3rd floor.

As we go to head up the stairs, we hear a bloodcurdling scream from the sex bedroom. Spying through the door we see the performers dead and Maddgoth covered in their blood.

A mad and murderous Maddgoth bursts forth and everyone takes a pile of damage from the food we ate. Maddgoth offers to go 1v1 with Jitters but a scrum develops nonetheless.

A long battle of spells ensues but we get the better of Maddgoth and his outer-planar allies. In the end, Maddgoth teleports Jitters to the roof to try to finish him off alone but we all find our way up there and kill him.
