 My notes on this session as of today (7/27/22)...

This is a great example of the LotFP summon spell biting the caster (the NPC villain Wiki-Dot-Pod) in the ass!  My players just played their 35th session this past Sunday, and they are still talking about some of the weird aspects they encountered in The Doom-Cave of The Crystal-Headed Children;-)  The PC Fecus began this campaign as a Halfling and was transformed into a human (his player chose to play the Specialist class upon the transformation) during the first session's exploration of this dungeon.
