Naturally I started prepping a game right away based on feedback from Tiffany that they had just been watching the Hercules movie. This first episode is based roughly on the fight with the centaur.
2021-05-181h 01DnD Tonight PodcastEP75 – Breaking into the TempleNeim Cave Painting: We fight shadow person. Smash him with axe. Was good fight. Cleff likes bananas, makes me like banana too!
All that stands in the way of our feywild adventurers is this shadowy temple guardian. The statues have been destoryed, but there's definitely a trick to the way this guardian fights. Perhaps they can figure it out before he manages to kill everyone's favorite character... Rain the griffin. Once the party gets inside what will they find? What has become of Asharis, Ghost Slinger, Merlin and Raal. Especially considering Asharis and Raal were both suffering from the negative...

They have made it all the way to the temple atop the pyramid which Asharis, Ghost Slinger and Merlin managed to get trapped in and Awen can see the light of their spirits shining through the planes to her. There's only one problem. There appears to be a guardian and they aren't going to just let the feywild crew just walk in without a fight. There seems to be some trickery going on here as well? How can they fight this ghostly guard?

The helpful green Aarakocra that they saved from death in the snow suggests that they row out to the glacier they are so intent to visit in ceremonial canoes. You know what that smells like to me? A SKILL CHALLENGE!
2020-10-1340 minDnD Tonight PodcastEP72 – Making way to Glacial SpringsOur heroes build an embankment against the freezing cold and Awen uses a rather unique solution to get the fire started in order to warm up this green bird man whom was slowly freezing in the snow. Once he awakens he expresses concern that the forest is freezing over and it will only get worse if they try to make their way to Skyfall the Aarakocra village at the edge of the lake. Through some rather unorthodox persuasion they convince him to lead them through the snow storm as he can act as their guide and pick out the way...

Finding themselves in the room with the artifact that they have been seeking. They decide that it is unwise to touch it without knowing exactly what traps and hidden triggers may be inside the alter chamber. Best to have a plan of escape. This means that they have several more side passages to investigate before moving forward. Much reprehension and worrying later does Ghost Slinger finally face Zabuza? Listen in to find out.

Right after she narrowly avoids getting run over by a runaway bolder.Oh Merlin's journal is in color this week.

2020-07-2800 minDnD Tonight PodcastEP61 – Climbing the Temple StairsThis week our players have climbed up out of the literal muck of the bog to ascend the stepped terraces of an ancient temple of a long lost Deity. Who knows what they will find within it's walls. Who knows what fiendish pitfalls and traps may lay within. Only one thing is for certain. The stone pointing to the next artifact that they must recover is pointing towards the core of this temple so they must explore it's secrets.
Merlin Journal 61: We've come upon an ancient Temple which seems out of place for the shadowfell. We will proceed with caution
2020-07-2100 minDnD Tonight PodcastEP60 – Eternal Bog of StenchOur Heroes find themselves undisturbed by a ghost, then they find their way closer and closer to something that stinks. I sure hope no one falls into that nasty slimy water. Especially since the path keeps diverging and everyone is getting tired.
Merlin kept track how the hidden pathway through the mire progressed so that they might be able to make a quick exit if needed.
2020-07-1400 minDnD Tonight PodcastEP59 – Mercia MysteryBattle is done with the ancient armor that had stalked this place. Now our heroes must rest and regain their strength.

Merlin Journal 1: We have come upon a tent ravaged by the ages of time. We fear exploring inside until our strength is recovered.

2020-06-3000 minDnD Tonight PodcastEP57 – DespairOur party of adventuring gals find themselves wandering down a long and dusty road following a magic stone, but something has overtaken their friendly Kobold companion he's just not his usual chipper self. Merlin will have to use his magic to power the guide stone from here on and it doesn't always seem to know which way to go. There seems to be something in the mists ahead. Finally breaking through the desolate ashen desert they find what seems like sand. Great an actual desert. Perhaps Brightstone really is the best place in the Shadowfell.
2020-06-2300 minDnD Tonight PodcastEP56 – Church of AsmodeusOur heroes find themselves at the beginning of understanding what might have caused that forest of bones. The question is can they do anything about it, and if they can should they? Who is the Patron of this town?
2020-06-1600 minDnD Tonight PodcastEP55 – Brightstone VillageOur heroes have followed Raal's magical stone to a village in the Shadowfell and it seems rather quaint, almost nice even. It's a welcome respite from the harsh roads of the shadowfell that they have seen so far, but something's not quite right about the place. Still when you're low on supplies and forced into a plane of shadows any place the sun shines is a good place to rest up, right?
2020-06-0900 minDnD Tonight PodcastEP54 – I’m not safe, Run!Our heroes seem to need to pass through a desolate forest made from the bones of long dead creatures. Some of these skeletons rival the size of dragons. What is this terrible place? What killed all these creatures? Who stacked up the bones? But most importantly how will our heroes reach the other side?

I did as much as I could in editing to try and keep it fun. There's only about 30 minutes of game play but if you like silly accents from a DM who's doing their best then it is definitely worth a listen. Also we've got a cameo from Grandma. Our heroes do manage to travel through the Shadowfell following along to a seemingly unfazed Raal with a magic stone on a string to guide them...

Our heroes stepped through a portal guided by the friendly Kobold Raal during a ritual to contact the Dragon God Bahumat. They find themselves at the top of a very different set of cliffs by the sea. There they meet Argal, who is glad to see that they have recovered another artifact. As a reward, and to boost their strength to capture the next and possibly final artifact the Dragon imbues each of their weapons with his dragon fire magic. The path has been...

We've got it all in this one.
2019-11-1900 minDnD Tonight PodcastEP44 – Sneaking in the DarkOur heroes get quite a bit done this week. They start out making their way through the darkness of the abandoned mines only to find out that they aren't abandoned once you go deep enough, they just aren't full of dwarves anymore. Sneaking further into the depths they make their way into a bucket lift lowering gems and ore into the darkness below. There they save a family of cave fungii who were caught up in the undead hoard. Finally they reach the bottom of the pit where all color seems to be sucked out of the world around them...

Our heroes are headed into the Gem mines of Aberdean right after they deal with these pesky skellies. Merlin decides to check out these glowing lanterns and Ghost Slinger is the only one who can roll above a 4. Sounds about normal.

This time our heroes are on dry land sweet sweet land and they aren't ghosts, but what's this... The dwarves are fleeing Aberdean? What's up with that. Then the video call goes dead and we have to call it a night. Best I could do with our spotty technology. There's some good laughs in there.
