This week we’re all floating down here as we talk about Stephen King’s IT, the made-for-tv movie featuring Tim Curry in his iconic role as Pennywise the Clown. Does it hold up? Absolutely not. Did we have fun talking about it? You bet.
Golatha sends the four tiefling to the city of Edgewater by way of teleportation, and the morale improves significantly despite the impending mission to the Tower of All. The party makes their way to a small, unassuming Inn called The Crossed Scimitars, and from there plan the next course of action. A few members of the party sequester themselves into their room for the night to broker information.
