But we got the people we were sent there to save, so that's good? Mission accomplished? There were a number of vampires in storage somewhere else and they appear to not be there any more, but that's not going to be a problem, right? No, let's head back home to Blackstone Juggernauts HQ and get ready for our next adventure, I'm sure it'll be fine.

Maria: “Are you saying I need to make Jayson happy?”
Gorbash: “He has a girlfriend. In fact, she has the same name as you.”
Jayson: “A guy could get confused ...”
“Why are we hiring hookers?”
“They should have more Hispanic-sounding names, like … José and … Honda.”
“Honda?!”
“I’ll go and get Mr Wet.”
“Can we call him Mr Moist instead?”
“I think it’s Gorbash’s plan at this point.”
“So we can blame Gorbash if it goes horribly wrong.”
“Aww, you’re so sweet and hopeful!”
“It was distraction, not destruction. He must have misheard me.”
“… Because every girl wants her guy to bring her a net filled with soggy slave corpses?!”
“Our Great Dragon is releasing his net in the Moreno Tides, but it’s hitting hard today. There’s a chance the catch will get swallowed up in the crashing. Can he get a decent haul to bring back to port? Find out in the next five minutes!”
NPC: “Destruction? What did you do?”
Gorbash: “I didn’t do anything, but it’s now a lake.”
Maria (to Booker): “You know being a good guy really doesn’t suit you, right?”
“It feels lighter than it should - feels like he didn’t get the key shoal of Mexicans on this throw. And the waves have crashed - that’s all folks! See us next time for the Mexican Port Return - Breaking the Gates!”
“In our next episode of Deadliest Catch: Mexican Slave Edition: Vampires attempt to use other slaves and machines to fish the remaining Mexicans to salvage the remains of the Dragon Haul.”
Player: “You didn’t kill 18 people, you saved 12.”
GM: “You didn’t kill 15 000 people, you saved 12.”
“She should make them tea. I’m sure that will make everything OK.”
“Gorbash’s diplomacy is the opposite of Murmei’s.”
“We’re not straight to torturing people!”
“Ummmmm …”
“Well, YOU might be!”
We're starting Symbaroum again on the next Wednesday session, and as we have a new player, we'll be introduced to Murmei's rebellious little sister. She'll go down well with the party for sure ...
