Summary
Granny Tusk is organising a party for her grandchildren. There are many of them, however. They're also trolls with the appetite to follow. It's five hours from go-time. Enter the runners.
Background
The troll lady loves her grandkids and wants them to have a whale of a time. Organising such a huge get-together is no small feat, however. She needs a little help from her friends… colleagues… Santa's little helpers…
The Meet
Granny Tusk hires Ez-Azael, Orchid, Setter (Kanin) and Sinning Jenny to hit up a bunch of shops. Her list is long and the runners have only less than five hours to get it. They, however, agree that this task is basically a public service, forfeiting pay in exchange for the wizened troll feeling better-disposed towards them.
The Plan
A lot of work happens in a short amount of time. The team splits responsibilities into alcohol, dairy, baked goods, pastries, soyburgers, (soy)meat, (soy)greens, sweets. They find out that no single shop will have enough, on a Sunday afternoon, to make it a single run. Thankfully, where there's a will, there's a way.
The Run
Everyone here is a face, so FoodRun™ continues in vignettes like:
- Convincing Stuffer Shack employees to open for the sake of buying in bulk of a platoon of hungry army veterans, complete with an Ares Roadmaster sent for delivery;
- Honey baking slightly disappointing pies;
- Setter distracting a Skraacha ganger by showing a little more than the clothes' designer intended;
- The burger guy with a menu of toxic levels of capsaicin insisting the team is "Weedy" and "Should put on some meat" (nobody dares disagree);
- Purchasing greens for grilling and snacks for team contacts;
- Creating what looks like the map to purchasing on a Sunday afternoon for a troop of hungry trolls.
Aftermath
The team, after a number of (mis)adventures, is successful in bringing Granny Tusk the goods from her list on time. Nobody even died to the fiery burgers!

Game Quotes
Player After Action Reports (AARs)
A nice and simple food-run. It was definitely a logistic confusion on where to go for the large volume of food, but we managed just fine. Even managed to handle a slight stand-off in a rougher part of Seattle without a fight breaking out. This definitely feels like my element.
I'll be honest, it's the most food I've seen in one place in my life. The employer? There's a reason why who frags with elderly ladies lives short. Are those grandkids really hers...? Wait, I don't want an actual answer. Love without borders and all that. The team worked well together, I knew Ez from before, the two others were new. Rather, new to me, not the business. What the elf did with the Skraacha made me uncomfortable, but it's not her fault. I am the mousy, nerdy one. No matter. Capsaicin contents of the burgers scared me, but... Those bangles Blackhawk asked me to wear made me feel safer.
Orchid I think with all of this running around I should take a break and do some working out after all... i don't want this food becoming fat, I got a figure to keep :)
