Camp Pain #021: The Lion “Sneaks” Tonight (Season 1.5 Continues!)
Our journey for the elusive chroma ooze takes a strange turn.
This week, the crew ventures deeper into the wilds beyond the Verdant Wanderers’ cabin—and straight into a misty waterfall clearing, where a mysterious hooded figure lurks. Is he simply watching… or orchestrating something far more sinister? TR-33 might have found a Lion friend. Harold might finally understand Bellith (but let’s not get our hopes up). And the forest? Well, it might not be thrilled with us. And just when you thought things couldn’t get weirder—names like Juiblex and Zuggtmoy start surfacing. Surely that’s fine, right?
Join Bellith Thornton, Guldor Firebeard, TR33, Seven of the NiteWood, and Liam the DM as we keep stumbling through our magical camp misadventure in Valdoria. At this point, we may need more than hit points to survive.
In the Sunfire kingdom of Valdoria, our adventurers attend Pyreglow Preparatory Academy—one of many schools training the next generation of heroes after the legendary Great Vanishing left the realm unguarded. Now, teens from across the kingdom have enrolled in the famed Camp Shimmer Lake, where danger, drama, and dice rolls await.
Camp Pain is a bi-weekly Dungeons & Dragons game hosted by Michael Heit from Hey Other Parents, Food & Fury, and Snackzeroth podcasts. Created and run by our extraordinary DM Liam, and starring Bridget, Orlep, Levine, and the occasional guest. Some of us are seasoned adventurers, others are still figuring out which dice is the d20. This podcast is more chaos than critical hits—if you’re looking for serious D&D, turn back now. If you’re here for fun, you’re in the right camp.
Produced by Liam, Bridget, Orlep, Levine, and Michael Heit.
Edited and mixed by Michael Heit.
Intro voiced by the one and only Koltrane.
