Recap
Exploring “Spider Heaven,” the party finds three portal-paintings and dives through the “whimsy wall” one, triggering d1000 random-effect rolls. Ozan’s near-max roll conjures the Apocalypse Box into his hands; Jake fails a will save and is magically compelled to seize and guard it, including by force. Ozan explains its powers before letting Jake keep it. Testing the box nearly summons six Shoggoths twice before the party burns three fate points to pull a bottle of scotch instead. Donnie reveals the box can only be destroyed by the bearer surviving three of its monster-waves and then tricking a gold dragon into crushing it. The party levels to 11 and defers the problem.

Unresolved
The exact mapping of individual d1000 rolls to which player got which Whimsy Wall reward is garbled by crosstalk and could be swapped.
