Verse 1
Gathered 'round a dungeon core with cracks that heal themselves, Rolling every skill we got like magical research elves, Caithyra's archaeologist brain, Kurt's confused and mad— "Why'd I miss the brothel run?" (That's got to feel real bad!) Guild hall reunion, bandaged up, comparing battle scars, Vasuki's got cheating cards stolen from nobles in bars!
Chorus
Slut Squad's back with family drama, Curses stacking up like karma— Dragon blood and noble lies, Duck transformations, no surprise! Roll for trauma, roll for gold, These backstories can't be controlled! When your party's this complex, Who needs dungeon-crawling hexes?
Verse 2
At the guild desk, no shame at all, discussing bondage scores, While the clerk just nods along (he's heard this stuff before), Two hundred gold per core intact, keystones that read your soul, Biometric magic locks—now that's administrative control! Captain of the Guard asks questions, Caithyra's sweating hard, "This crest belongs to daddy, sir!" (Playing the noble card)
Bridge
House Valens hates the elves and magic too, Cut her ears to hide the truth—what fathers do, Linnolaithe's grandma loved a shadow dragon black, Twenty-one points on the score (if granny could stack!) Kurt's researching gnoll tribe curses, poison berry pies, Zaza's "freelancing" on the seas (that's pirate in disguise!)
Chorus
Slut Squad's back with family drama, Curses stacking up like karma— Shadow bracelets, dragon shame, Geekaat's playing the duck-shift game! Roll for bloodlines, roll for lies, Ancient secrets in disguise! When your heritage is cursed, Things can only get much worse!
Verse 3
Geekaat's feathers turning blue and waxy like a duck, Three cursed party members now—we're pushing our luck! Seraphina's establishment hosts our scoring debate, While Aurelios judges us (hope we're not too late!) Sacred protocols and holy water, gotta clean our act, But the Slut Squad reputation's got us fact-checked!
Final Chorus
Family secrets, guild advancement, Scroll robes need some spell enhancement— Caithyra's estate awaits, While the party calculates! Thirty-five gold for the rats, Mysteries wearing many hats! When your downtime's full of schemes, Nothing's quite the way it seems!
Outro
So here's to House Valens and dragons of old, To gnoll curse research and maritime gold, To duck transformations and shadows that play, The Slut Squad's dysfunction saves the day! Experience earned and trauma gained, Our party's beautifully unrestrained— 'Til next we meet in tavern halls, Keep rolling dice through family calls!
