Sir, can you spare a ka'watah?

After rousing the bears, the ligers were ready to set out on adventure again. This time their quest for fun lead them in to the dark evil realm of Bourbon Street in the French Quarter, where drunkenness and debauchery are on every street corner. It was truly a horrifying journey to hunt out where the beginning of the ghost tour would be later that night. The group had to battle their way through drunks with beads...













and living statues...














and cats with a need for beer? Oooooh, mmmyyyyyyy!


















After doing battle with the creatures of the Quarter (and 500xp later) the group settled down for a short rest at the ACME Oyster house (no rocket roller skates were included :'( ). For a place known for their oysters, name not withstanding, your author must report that their oysters are....TERRIBLE!!!! I seriously have had much better oysters in KANSAS. At ACME they were small, some kinda greenish, and inky and every one had bits of oyster shell in them....it was an even more horrifying experience than the Quarter itself. That said, all the other food was pretty darn good. Courtney had a fried Oyster and shrimp Po'Boy with Tabasco mayo, which was tasty. Ann(e) had half a catfish and hush puppies, which sadly "the sandwich fell apart like the Berlin Wall." -(Ann(e)) Adam had the red beans and rice, which was amazing. Erin had a.....Cheeseburger....which was also good. And Mark had the seafood etufee which, not Aunt G. quality, was still passable.

After the adventurers had their fill they set out into the night for the hunting of spirits, goblins, and ghouls...alas...we found.......none....The tour, however, was quite entertaining and well worth the $20. If you are wanting a bit of a different history angle on NOLA look up the Haunted History Tours crew, they do a good job...and will help you stalk Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie by pointing out their house on the tour route. So +10 points for that. :-D

We also got to see a house that used to be owned by Nicholas Cage. Which is supposed to be the most haunted house in the country. Apparently the first owner mistreated all of their slaves there, murdering a number of them in horrifying medical experiments.

After the tour the group temporarily went separate ways with Courtney, Mark, and Ann(e) heading back to the hotel, and Erin and Adam (who apparently had not had their fill of crazy) went back to bourbon street. When they returned they promptly crashed.
