Intelligence Check



Synopsis:

Intelligence Check is an actual play series that's big on the laughs. It's a light-hearted show, using D&D 5e rules, set in the homebrew world of the Lichstone Empire. We've got dark and mysterious backgrounds, defensive elephants, weird gambling, oddly specific kobold slaughter, and tentacles. Way too many tentacles.

Episode 163- Behind the DM Screen following Episode 17- And The New Emperor Is

Wed, 18 Oct 2023 10:48:04 -0300

This episode starts with a quick update on the status of the podcast followed by our first behind the scenes discussion episode from Patreon. This covers our first 17 episodes of Season 1, which introduced the characters, the world, and saw them overcome being in direct competition with each other to come together as a team. If you haven't already listened to our first season we hope that you will check it out. You'll hear our initial growing pains, get to meet characters that we love, and join us for a story that Kyle lovingly crafted. And you'll see just how much Lauren joining the cast in Season 2 made us all better at roleplaying!

Episode 162- Short Adventure Part 6- Cliff Hanging

Wed, 04 Oct 2023 13:42:53 -0300

It's a vicious fight to take out the remaining guards blocking the party's path to treasure. Hap charges in! And his dice rolls aren't having it. But he keeps trying to hit people in the legs to the best of his tiny height ability. Thankfully our tiny heroes were able to get the drop on them because they really need that surprise round! Plus Flukey's ferret is just brutal to their enemies. So that helps.

Later they go down a well less than gracefully. Then down a bit of a hole of high pitched character voices. Afterwards things come to a rather abrupt ending that ties directly into a very important moment from one of our Season 1 character's stories. We don't want to get into spoilers here but recognize it's not going to make sense if you haven't listened to our first season. So we invite you to hop into our discord and let us explain it all while apologizing for the cliffhanger ending to the adventure! Or perhaps we can entice you to give those original episodes a listen!

Episode 161- Short Adventure Part 5- Wizard

Wed, 20 Sep 2023 15:04:30 -0300

Our party has picked a completely unnecessary fight with a wizard and is having a really tough time with it! Maybe it's a good thing the players haven't become too attached to their new characters.

  Flukey takes a pause to restring his bow. Chance keeps trying to split the party. Namee tries out a few animal forms. And Hap drags the enemy down to his little tiny short dragonborn level.

Episode 160- Short Adventure Part 4- Critical Failure

Wed, 06 Sep 2023 15:35:12 -0300

With their ambush complete, the party now has a hot lead on a heist. Being the bandits that they are, they decide to keep that tip for themselves rather than share it with their employers. Time to hunt down a big score! After a little bit of a rest. 

 

They venture out to the castle believed to hold great treasure. It's a very castle-like castle, complete with guards, towers with windows, and towers without windows. How suspicious.

 

But these bandits are not going to let a couple window-less towers scare them away from loot so they're going in! Flukey is bad at a lot of things. Hap rushes in. Chance tries to tip the scales in his favor. And Namee is surprisingly tame knowing how this character will evolve!

Episode 158- Short Adventure Part 2- A Heroic Plan

Wed, 09 Aug 2023 16:01:18 -0300

It's time to meet our adventurers for this story. Yes, they're right in front of you. Look down a bit. They're all very tiny. Previously a patreon exclusive recorder roughly 3 years ago, these randomly generated characters are ready to steal some food! Any yes, one of them may be very familiar to listeners.

 

First we have Chance Battlebeard played by Kevin who is a very punchy caster. Next we have Harrison Hazard played by Ben. He's a dragonborn ranger from the swamps who has a murderous rage. Playing what will become an early version of Namee, Mike is here to introduce us to the original version of the thin and wildly beautiful penguin suit wearing gnome. And finally we have Flukey, Frank's halfling ranger who is searching for his stolen musical instrument. He's a dancer and a romantic folks.

 

Let's see what kind of plan they devise for their brigand quest!

Wed, 26 Jul 2023 14:07:13 -0300

 

Previously a Patreon exclusive adventure, join members of the Intelligence Check cast and their friend Frank as they roll up new randomized characters for a short tie-in adventure. This is a session zero in which the players make a series of rolls to randomly determine the characters they will be playing. Those characters are then revealed by the DM Kyle at the end of the episode. Recorded quite a bit before we recorded episode 57- Heroic Moment, this adventure features the behind the scenes debut of a very early version of a character who has seen significant changes and grown dear to us all!

Episode 156- Speed Questing Part 4- Hungry Games

Wed, 12 Jul 2023 15:22:20 -0300

It's the final episode of our first mini-arc and Arkin has a soup delivery for some guards barring their path. Thistlyn also has a delivery, of death! It's a death delivery, because she brings death to someone. You get it. And Fliminald would just appreciate it if everyone could calm down. 

The party comes across some unexpected surprises. Flimmy negotiates. And Thistlyn name drops. It's been an odd adventure but we're sure it will all make for a great song for Thistlyn's solo debut!

Wed, 14 Jun 2023 14:20:15 -0300

After a bit of sudden violence, our trio finds themselves with a large shimmering mosaic barring their passage. Written on the wall is a long riddle clearly offering clues on how to decipher the puzzle. Certainly with that they will have no trouble at all and not stumble onto the solution by blindly pressing buttons.

Wed, 31 May 2023 11:51:05 -0300

It's time for an all new-mini campaign and Kyle is back in the DM seat! We have a four-part side mission starting with this episode featuring Mike, Ben, and a new player, Maggie! And they'll be introducing new characters for this quest.

 

First up is Arkin, an aasimar who tries maybe too hard to fit in with the little people. We also have Fliminald, the peace cleric who is being pushed out of a life of comfort very much against their will. And then there's Thistlyn, the bard who is trying to leave the shadow of her famous musician parents and come out with her first big chart-topper! Let's meet the party and see if they're any good at this adventuring thing!

Wed, 17 May 2023 15:57:59 -0300

It's our 2nd finale in Season 2! Don't overthink it, we certainly haven't! Anyway, we've reached the end of Mike's arc as the DM and it's time to finally find out what all this wackiness has been about. And more importantly, what everyone has landed on for their catch phrases! 

 

Violexx attempts to define the battlefield. Rath has to work through his horse issues. And of course, the final epic moments veer hard into a pun-off. 

 

Join us next episode for the start of a mini-campaign, and stick around for the rest of Season 2 to see if we can get a 3rd finale worked in!

Blag goes for a frolic. Clothes disappear. A horse gets punched. Blag licks a kid. And there's some uncomfortable finger painting. Overall, it's a good day for Blag!

Wed, 22 Feb 2023 14:11:36 -0400

The team opens the next door along their path to discover what appears to be a stream with a boat awaiting them. A boat with a dark surprise for the adventurers!

Will they attempt to distract themselves from reality? Or will they lunge forward and stab it in its truthy face?!

Episode 145- Holiday Crashers

Wed, 08 Feb 2023 15:36:37 -0400

The adventure through the dungeon of oddities continues to puzzle our adventurers. It's still not clear to them just where they are and why they are there. With some fourth wall breaking antics behind them, they have moved on to the next area. And to their astonishment, they have stumbled upon a holiday party. One they certainly are not invited to!

 

Will they be gracious guests? Or will they immediately get thrown out for bad manners? When they inevitably move on another strange chamber awaits them. What's behind door number 1? Or number 7? Or even number 12?! And what monumental knowledge will send Rath into an existential tail spin?

Episode 144- Writer’s Block

Wed, 25 Jan 2023 15:19:48 -0400

The party is totally landing an AD&D (advanced dirty & dancing) in an attempt to climb up a ladder to escape from the crapple monstrosities. Which seems counter-productive, but when the opportunity presents itself for a double dirty dance you take it! Meanwhile, Rath and Kort haven't even entered the room yet. Pushing through the crapple horrors, they attempt to climb the humanoid ladder that is the rest of their party. And yes, there's still an actual ladder made for climbing there, but apparently we're just going to ignore that.    While the rest of the adventurers work on getting themselves sorted, Violexx opens the hell out of a door and has a life altering experience. Crapppletastic pun insults are hurled at their foes and an all powerful being is discovered. Will the party have the emotional breakthrough needed to survive the encounter? Or will they just manipulate their way through it? Something seems oddly familiar about this being so they may just have the insight they need.

Episode 142- Failed Fergus Falls Flat

Wed, 28 Dec 2022 21:22:31 -0400

The party is grossed out after running into another group of cultists. These people seem to be a cult centered around repeatedly puking though and that's gross and they don't deserve to live. Fergus starts off by trying to push one over a balcony, but he slips in a puddle of spew and goes over the railing himself. Horrifyingly, there is a large collection of cultist hurl where he falls that may have gained sentience.    Was the puke already living or did the fervent and constant retching of the cultists give it life? Will it be vulnerable to Blag's new friend the scared flame? Or is it just going to make it smell even worse? Watch your step, it's time to fight the vomit cult!

Rath shepherds his cultists into their bright and shiny future. But it seems there may be other cults around that worship commercialism and excess. That last one may actually be grossness though. We're still not really sure what the hell is going on around here!

Wed, 16 Nov 2022 11:47:28 -0400

The hijacked adventuring party consisting of Violexx, Rath, Kort, Blag and Fergus has found themselves in a strange room with a large sign telling them to say goodbye to their fine bottom. Or is it Finebottom? Seeing as how that's Rath's last name, it's entirely possible. Especially since this whole place has been very odd so far! 

What's got everyone scratching their heads is the sign also says that the room is copyrighted by Dungeon Safaris, which is Rath's business aimed at siphoning money from rich people. And also he used it that one time to kill a guy. All in all, things aren't making any sense! 

Which party member has a surprising number of catch phrases? And which old villain will the group end up trading insults with? Hang on to your butts as we continue the adventure through whatever the hell this place is!

Episode 138- If You Give a Man Lips

Wed, 02 Nov 2022 12:11:42 -0300

Our players have found themselves in a strange dungeon surrounded by familiar faces. And apparently big lips. And wax lips. And goblins that keep dying. And nobody knows what's going on. Who would have thought that a game run by Mike would be chaotic?! Thankfully Rath has learned how to lean into the chaos and ride the wave of confusion! Fergus finds his inner sass. Blag finds his nuts. And Jerry, well screw Jerry.

Episode 137- HR

Wed, 19 Oct 2022 12:10:02 -0300

Our interlude episodes continue with a new mini-campaign. And it's the first game we're doing with one of the players in the Dungeon Master seat! Mike is trying his hand at running a game and he hasn't let anyone know what to expect. Legends tell of the last game he ran years ago and the legions of squirrels he made the players fight. So if anything, there's a chance things will get a little nutty! As an added treat, Kyle gets to be a player for this as well!    Where will our players find themselves as things kick off? What characters will they be playing? Who's been peeing in the corner? Does anyone speak Goblin? And is Mike a Kind and Generous DM? Time to find out!

Episode 136- Tavern Talks

Wed, 05 Oct 2022 14:20:51 -0300

It's our first interlude episode! And it's right after the events at the end of Season 2. Like immediately after.  It basically is more Season 2. But we already said we did the finale so this is an interlude damnit!

 

It's got roleplaying, questionable drinking (this isn't how drinking works), depressing backstories, new friends, and a sing along! So join us for our first interlude episode that is 100% not part of Season 2!

 

Join us in the coming months for a number of interlude episodes, most of which are part of a side story brought to you by Mike who is DM'ing for the first time! We can't wait to share that with you all!

Episode 135- Season 2 Finale

Wed, 21 Sep 2022 12:02:14 -0300

The end of the fight against the forces of the apocalypse is here. And it is a moment that is full of ominous warnings, troubling news, and dire events! Who will still be standing to face the challenges to come? And where will our adventurers go from here? While this story has ended, the world is still in need of heroes, and the story of our adventurers will continue in Season 3.

 

But first! Join us in the coming months for a number of interlude episodes, most of which are part of a side story brought to you by Mike who is DM'ing for the first time! We can't wait to share that with you all!

Episode 134- It’s all Violexx’s Fault

Wed, 07 Sep 2022 13:58:10 -0300

It's the end of the arc battle against the big bads! So you know it's going to be massive! And, maybe a bit longer than you might have expected. But also giant and epic! This episode, yet another combatant appears. And they get straight to business with a brutal attack! 

 

Speaking of being offensive, Violexx fights a horse. The party fails an optional quest. Dragon Daddy does some serious damage. And a tragic turn of events gives our adventurers a moment to dive into the nature of one of their standard coping mechanisms: dick jokes.

Episode 133- Crit Myself

Wed, 24 Aug 2022 15:03:32 -0300

We're taking a break from the giant battle and finding a moment to reflect on the meaning of friendship and family. This episode we'll be welcoming some old friends. And making some new ones as well. But then we'll also be blasting some of those friends with bursts of flames directly to the face because they are shadows of the real people being controlled by the forces of evil. Because there are no breaks in the battle against the forces of the Apocalypse!    So join us for some tearful (and painful) reunions! With guest appearances by- The Rock Lobster Joke. Horseys. A pivotal figure from Namee's life. An apparently pivotal figure from Rady's life. And Dick Damage.

Episode 132- Big Dragon Daddy

Wed, 10 Aug 2022 14:09:55 -0300

With the big fight going down, Namee has brought what may be a friend to the field. That seems like some serious wishful thinking though! Either way, he's not the only one calling on an ally in this battle. The brawl is about to get just a bit more crowded! Someone better do something to thin out the numbers here. Preferably in our party's favor! Whatever they do, the adventurers would be smart to not make the DM grumpy.  But that seems like more wishful thinking!

Episode 131- I Think I Made a Friend

Wed, 27 Jul 2022 16:25:17 -0300

Jag drops Raine to the ground. Violexx drops a bomb. Namee flies away from the fight. Rady does something gross. And Way turns up the heat. The party is taking some big hits, but they are giving it right back to Raine. And Kyle is going to pay it back to Lauren for a very pointed comment she made to him earlier in the day. There's no safety around the table as the fight kicks up to the next level!

Episode 130- Boss Battle Royale with Cheese

Wed, 13 Jul 2022 14:40:32 -0300

The party charges into battle with Raine. Remember her? She's the extremely powerful necromancer and the literal Apocalypse rider of death. So she's not terribly impressed by the adventurers facing her. But she hasn't stayed around in one place long enough to fight our team before so she has underestimated just how annoying they can be!

Episode 129- Death is Cheaper Than Life

Wed, 29 Jun 2022 14:57:53 -0300

Being ferried through the land of the dead by their new pal Bonesy, the party has had their pleasant river of styx guided tour just ruined by the pursuit of the massive leviathan. And despite being a turtle, it refuses to have a polite conversation with Way! With the monster quickly gaining on their boat, it's time to get creative if they want to live to get to where they're trying to go to fight the person they actually came there to fight. It's all very vexing. And between Lauren's coarse language, the giant undead turtle unleashing his nasty breath on the party and Way pitching a tent, this episode is also all around filthy. Let's hope a run in with Raine will be enough to clean things up a bit. Unless she cleans the floor with the adventurers!

Episode 128- 1dFU

Wed, 15 Jun 2022 13:02:03 -0300

After a bit of a creative recap on recent events, the party is off to the plane of the dead! Namee gets to use an obscure benefit from his background that kicks things off with breaking some of the DM's plans! Rady goes for an ill-advised drink. And the party makes a couple of new friends! And then things devolve just a bit while everyone discusses Way's non-existent mesh tank top. Way may be in denial, but the party is on a journey down the River Styx!

Episode 127- The Gang Turns Hell Upside Down

Wed, 01 Jun 2022 14:53:43 -0300

Having entered Hell our party found themselves at the entrance to what seemed to be some sort of a theme park. With a little creative line manipulation from Namee and Violexx's eagle eye vision, they quickly learned that this was no ordinary demon amusement. It was in fact part of the Dungeon Safari brand and that it was run by none other than Rathborn, one of the founding party members! After introductions were made, and some startling revelations were shared by Rady, Rath left them to follow after his wife who was sprinting for a portal to the Lichstone Kingdom. Thankfully Rath's patron, affectionately called B-Bubs, was there to show our adventurers the way to the nexus in Hell. It seems so weird to have affection for a warlock patron after meeting Rady's!

Upon reaching the nexus they find their next foe, the rakshasa Traintorker! He's approaching the nexus after having apparently killed a large number of demons who were blocking his path. Jag thinks fast, throwing one of his axes, and the fight begins! What monstrous forms will the shape-shifting rakshasa use against our heroes?  What sound make's Lauren's lips feel funny? What will Namee do to flip the battle in their favor? And with the existence of all life on the line will anyone think to make another rakshasa rock lobster joke?!

Episode 125- Breaking Wind

Wed, 04 May 2022 16:11:27 -0300

The fight against Al'Qir on the elemental plane of air continues! And so far it has not been a breeze! Way and Violexx deal with the brutal effects Al'Qir's weather attacks have had on their ability to defend themselves. Namee does some out of the box thinking and is given grief for it by the DM. Which is how you know Namee is doing it right! Way plays with gravity in a totally tubular, err, way. And then there's some napping. Basically how you would expect a fight against an ancient being trying to destroy the world to go.

Episode 124- Gin and Toxic

Wed, 20 Apr 2022 16:16:18 -0300

The party has entered the Plane of Air to fight the djinn Al'Qir and everyone's going to get high! No, not on drugs. What are you talking about? They're going to be up really high in the air. It's a flying fight.    With control over their own gravity, and the ground far below them, our adventurers are joining the mile high club! Hold on, what are you saying? That means they're going to do what?! There's no time for that! They are literally about to fight one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Don't be gross.   With Al'Qir already channeling his destructive energy, and some generally shitty weather hindering their progress, will the party be able to reach him in time? What sage wisdom will Lauren share about rolling dice? Who will surprisingly lead the charge into battle? And why is Way so considerate of everyone's time? Maybe the oxygen is a little thin flying around in this air plane! No, air plane, with a space between, not the big metal thing with wings you fly in.

Episode 123- Chosen Points

Wed, 06 Apr 2022 14:47:22 -0300

With the heavenly meet and greet completed, the party regroups to catch up and plan their next move. They've secured new powers in their fight against the first and had some major developments in the process. One of those is a shocking revelation Violexx is happy to share. The other development also has a momentous impact, but Rady may not be up to mentioning it to the group! Seeing as how the apocalypse is about to kick off, the adventurers for once have a good reason to gloss over important story points!    Will the party be impressed with Way's new tattoo? How is Rady dealing with the trauma of his unexpected patron visit? What are the charges on a long-distance inter-planar phone call? How will Jag do with a little run-in with gravity? And is anyone surprised that the gnome in a flightless bird suit can soar through the air gracefully? Is this a D&D podcast or an old saturday morning cartoon?!

Episode 122- A Way Back

Wed, 23 Mar 2022 14:22:30 -0300

Our adventurers are in heaven seeking to become Chosen of various gods, and so far it's going surprisingly well! Name and Jag were up first. They both made some new friends and became honorary Chosen, gifted with powers to help fight against the evil First. Now it's time for the rest of the party to meet up with their gods. Let's hope it goes as well as it did with the first two gods!   Up first is Way! What situation will he find himself in, and will he pass the test placed before him? And will he accept some fashion suggestions from his companions? Then Rady gives it a go, petitioning the god of booze. But did he read the entire description of what that being is the god of? And finally Violexx visits with her deity, someone she is already well acquainted with. What staggering gift will Violexx be offered during their meeting? It's time for some monumental choices to be made!

So the party went to Heaven. And they did it without any of them dying! That's neat! And after confronting Palino about his shitty behavior, including an ineffective but meaningful kick to the ass from Namee, it seems they're going to be allowed to hang out for a bit. If you've got a visitor's pass to Heaven you might as well put it to good use!    With the help of Natasha, our adventurers start making some house calls to gods to petition them for their favor. Being selected as a Chosen of a god will go a long way towards being able to stop the First and their apocalyptic plans. First up, Namee! His god visit turns out just a bit different than any of the party would have expected! Then Jag gives it a go by picking from a whole menu of available gods. And he has some real breakthroughs! It's all very touching.

Episode 120- The Gang Goes to Heaven

Wed, 23 Feb 2022 14:23:53 -0400

Betrayal! A murder! Additional betrayal! Then there's some unusual horses and people riding those horses in ominous ways! And that was all just in the last episode! Now our party has to deal with the fallout of all those events as they find themselves left in the room with the leaders of the enemy faction. And it's just a bit awkward. But with an impending apocalypse at hand they are all able to move forward, and take the next steps needed to try to save the world. Well, except for Violexx's parents. They are still the worst. That hasn't changed.    With the recently revealed deceptions, will our adventurers be able to trust anyone again? Is there a certain accent that gets treated with more suspicion than it has in the past? And what character accent will completely break Kyle? It's time to rally the mortal forces and work out their differences! Or at least give it a shot before everyone dies!   This episode is sponsored by Crucible Magazine!

Episode 119- The Ultimate Command Word

Wed, 09 Feb 2022 11:14:21 -0400

So the party has finally found Deverick! Awesome! Who's Deverick again? Were they even looking for him? Violexx talked about him real quick that one time with her mom right? Honestly, we were too distracted by her mom being awful. Well anyway, he's obviously important to Violexx so what a pleasant surprise for everyone! Now let's see if they can actually save him. That may be a tall order considering they just entered a room full of genetically altered draconians, and all the main baddies are right up the stairs. Not to mention they are in the middle of the enemy's headquarters. And that's surrounded by an army of living armors. It should be fine! We just hope that in all the activity Violexx has a chance to share a word with Deverick.

Episode 118- Stair Masters

Wed, 26 Jan 2022 15:36:02 -0400

The heist is complete! Not only did they get the map needed to locate the enemy HQ, they also made a new ally! An ally who is unfortunately a bit of a creep. But they are powerful enough to break through the protective magics stopping teleportation and give the party a shortcut back to the Salty Narwhal. So, mixed feelings on that one. 

With the map in hand, our team is off to find the enemy's base. There they hope to find their captured compatriot Palino. It turns out that the base has a few surprises in store for our intrepid rescuers. Including a substantial force of guards and a particular necromancer that Namee is not excited to see. Will the party be able to infiltrate the headquarters? Who will Way clean the floor with? And how helpful will Rady be in the fight? Get ready, because finding Palino is going to force our adventurers to get through a big horror!

Episode 117- Drag On Knowledge

Wed, 12 Jan 2022 14:36:06 -0400

It's mid-heist, and most of the party has made it to the arcane room of the mansion. The scene is the minotaur Jag bashing on the next door in the room to get it open. Violexx in her elf disguise has found a set of keys that she's hoping Jag will just try instead. Namee, transformed into a ferret, has summoned a swarm of mice to run wild throughout the party. And Way is standing there, rooting through his giant tortle backpack, worried about the footsteps he hears over Jag's attack on the door. Footsteps that are steadily coming down the hall towards them.

At the same time, the fairly intoxicated Rady is off on his own and has stumbled through a secret door in the wine cellar. A door that leads to a tunnel ending in stairs going down, deep into the ground. 

Will Jag get that door open? Will the rampaging rodents be enough of a distraction to keep security from investigating the noise he's causing? Just who is coming towards that arcane room? What will happen that reminds Namee that hit points are a thing in this game? And what awaits them down the stairs, in the depths below the mansion? Let's just hope it's not helmed horrors!

Episode 116- Stole N

Wed, 29 Dec 2021 17:34:23 -0400

The heist is in full swing! With Rady, Jag, and Way already in the mansion, the time has come for Violexx and Namee to make their grand entrance! And what an entrance it is! Disguised as a high elf and wearing one of Jade's finest dresses, Violexx is bringing the class to this heist. And Namee is giving the guards something to think about!    Meanwhile Way is putting on a show for the guests. Rady is drinking on the job. And Jag is making some new friends.   As the party scouts out the mansion, what very specific suggestion will Namee have for Violexx? And what will he call upon that'll give the partygoers a fright? With the risk of discovery around every corner, let's hope the party can find what they're looking for without stumbling into too much trouble!

Episode 115- Threisted

Wed, 15 Dec 2021 16:00:11 -0400

Our adventurers need to infiltrate a party being hosted by leaders of the enemy faction. There, they hope to find a map showing the location of the enemy headquarters where they expect the captive Palino is being held. They've just put together their big plan to get into the party. And that's as far as they've got. If the plan stops once they get in the door is it really a plan? At best that's a fraction of a plan!    Thankfully they're being helped by a contact in the Silverkeep Thieves Guild. And it's Kort! He's back! Sure, he's still been around doing the intros and outros, but it's really entertaining making Kevin's characters talk to each other! And that conversation involves some tense negotiation over prices of the tools and services the guild can provide. Just kidding, it's Kort, he's terrible at negotiating! Although he does smoothly offer the heist insurance package. Thankfully for him Jade is there overseeing the process and also helping Violexx find the right dress for her disguise!    Will the adventurers get away with not paying for anything? When they get to the party, who will Jag need to yell at to get some respect? And what will Rady be wearing to be incognito? Let the heist with maybe 1/4th of a plan begin!

Episode 114- Jort

Wed, 01 Dec 2021 14:52:29 -0400

The Allied Forces have lost the battle, a defeat that culminated with the capture of their general Palino! Our team of adventurers has committed to rescuing him, but they don't know the location of the enemy's base where he has been taken. They've received word that information leading to that base can be located at the mansion of one of the enemy leaders. A mansion where a party celebrating their victory is about to be held. Do you know what that means? It's time for a heist!

Now, everyone knows that a successful heist requires a good plan. And our party, well they try, but they don't have a great track record with making plans and sticking to them. Thankfully they are good at just rolling with things! Or at least creating enough chaos and confusion to get what they need and slip away. 

A good heist also requires the perfect location to meet up and plan before the heist! Like an abandoned warehouse. Or, maybe a really public tavern. And for that heist planning you're going to need reliable intelligence. How many guards are there? What's the lay of the land? Is there a butlery? That last one might be specific to this group though.

  You're also going to need gear! Cool gadgets, communication devices, snazzy outfits. All the usual stuff! So you're going to need a trusted source to get that intel and that gear. Maybe from the representative of a local thieves guild? And it would really help if that representative is terrible with money and is bad at negotiating.

We might just know a guy...

Episode 112- Friend Point

Wed, 03 Nov 2021 14:24:59 -0300

With the new party members introduced the team has set sail aboard Jag's ship the Salty Narwhal. There, they have some time to bond and learn a little about each other. But the two weeks on board the ship passes fast and they have now arrived at the beginning of a large battle against the forces of the First. We know these new adventurers can handle themselves in some light conversation, but are they any good in a fight?

If Tor were there he'd probably put a bet on Jag being able to hold his own in a brawl. He's a big minotaur with a pirate accent and who has named his two axes. He's been in bar fights at least! But what about Way, the tortle who seems to always be looking towards the sky? He says he spent time helping to defend trade caravans he worked on. But what does that really mean? What secret abilities is he hiding in that huge backpack of his? And then there's Rady, the apparently always intoxicated yaun-ti who would rather take a nap than share any details about himself. Is he able to sober up enough to realize he's even in a fight? And if so what does he bring to the battlefield other than a surly disposition? It's time to find out as the combatants charge into the fray!

After watching Blag be whisked away back to the aboleth, and saying their farewells to Nock and Shep, Namee and Violexx are approached by the Evergreen. Despite their recent losses, they are once again called to join the fray against the forces of the evil First. Thankfully the Evergreen knows they will need help in the upcoming battles and has new companions set to join them! Three of them conveniently enough!    The first to join the party appears to be a Tortle who has accompanied the Evergreen on his visit. What will we learn about this new adventurer? Who are the others joining the party? And which of them will compel Namee to lick something random? It's time to meet the new crew!   This episode also includes a promo from the wonderful Dimension Door podcast!

Episode 110- A Boy, His Bond, and the Burials

Wed, 06 Oct 2021 11:15:33 -0300

The rescue mission is complete. Our adventurers saved Blag's sister Natasha from the clutches of the draconian elite unit. And with just a little help from the Chosen they fought to protect, the party was able to drive off the enemies forces that attempted to stop their escape. But the price paid was devastatingly high.    Upon arriving back in the city of Silverkeep, Violexx, Namee and Blag take to the streets to distract themselves from the loss of their friends and the upcoming memorial service. Their reprieve is soon interrupted by a trio of shady characters with murderous intentions. How will Namee's temper flare to life? What cutting words will Violexx have for their attackers? And will Blag actually use his javelins?  Those weapons have been with him from the beginning of his journey, so they certainly have some tales to be told?

Wed, 22 Sep 2021 11:00:00 -0300

Violexx has been stabbed in the back! With a knife! And the mysterious assailant then said "Hello Daughter." What?! Who would do such a thing?! Her father apparently. We've had hints that Violexx's life before meeting the party was dark, but damn!   Meanwhile, Blag's hulked out fighting the warforged trying to get through the door that's protecting the Chosen. Nock and Shep are in serious trouble up on deck fighting everyone else. But at least they have a cute new friend! And Namee is still trying to get inside one of the warforged. Through *whatever* point of entry he can find. It has been a bit of a day for our adventurers. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's about to get any better.

Episode 108- Violexx Has a Familiar Burning Sensation

Wed, 08 Sep 2021 12:08:55 -0300

Things are looking grim for our dauntless adventurers. With the enemy dogging their escape let's just recap where things stand.   Heavily armored warforged scaling the sides of this ship, punching holes in the side and marching relentlessly towards where the Chosen are secured below decks?    Check   The enemy ship giving chase and quickly closing the distance?   Yep   A whooshing sound that is hauntingly familiar, sort of like the sound of draconian wings coming towards our adventurers?   Oh yeah   A party that's in serious trouble?   Definitely   Let's just hope there are no more unpleasant surprises in store for the adventurers!

Episode 107- Barrels of Fun

Wed, 25 Aug 2021 13:54:20 -0300

With the draconians in retreat, our party has safely made it aboard the ally ship with the rescued Chosen, Blag's sister Natasha. The rest of this mission will absolutely be smooth sailing from here on out! So what if the draconian leader said they'd catch up to our party on the ship? Surely that was just a bluff. Silly, terrifyingly dangerous draconian!  Anyway, with a tough battle almost certainly behind them it's time for our adventurers to make their escape. Did the draconians have a ship too? It could be a fast one. Maybe a military one instead of the smuggling ship our team is on. It is an island, and the intel did say they were heading to a ship. It'll be fine! Well, with the fighting definitely maybe over, the party is due some time to rest up and recover from their near defeat at the hands of the freakishly powerful and competent enemy. An enemy that seems very unlikely to let their captive be taken from them. Like we said, smooth sailing and celebratory margaritas ahead!

Episode 106- Too Pretty to Live

Wed, 11 Aug 2021 14:08:54 -0300

With a flash of his blades, Blag has successfully shredded the body of one of the draconians facing our adventurers. But unknown to him, this was the draconian our DM Kyle lovingly referred to in his head as Mr. Boom Boom. And now that he's been diced into a fine mist, Mr. Boom Boom is about to show the team why he got that nickname!    As they pick themselves back up off the ground, the party seems to recognize that they are in a much tougher situation than they realized. With the fight ongoing, which draconian will show themselves to be an extra bastard when one of our combatants is struggling to survive? Will our adventurers choose to make a tactical retreat? Or will they be able to rally and make a stand against the fearsome enemy? The battle rages on!

Episode 105- Mr. Boom Boom

Wed, 28 Jul 2021 14:29:40 -0300

Our adventurers' plan to save a Chosen prisoner has come down to a brawl, and things are heating up on the battlefield! It could be because of the brawny and mysterious enemies stripping out of the bandages wrapped around their bodies, revealing wings, scaled muscles and testosterone fueled powers. Or maybe those powers are from the draconic heritage they all seem to share. But one thing is clear, these buff and tough bruisers are built! Super hot!

 

Events getting heated might also have to do with that burning sensation Violexx is feeling after being stabbed by one of these evil beefcakes. Sizzling! Or maybe it's the blast of fire Nock is about to take to the face from the still veiled and probably chiseled leader. Steamy! The party is facing a fight for their lives. Let's hope they don't get too distracted by all the sexiness. No matter how this goes, the temperature is rising with all this heat and we are here for it!

Episode 104- Eat It Kyle I Love You

Wed, 14 Jul 2021 11:33:35 -0300

It's time to rescue one of the Chosen! And it just so happens that the Chosen prisoner is also Blag's sister, so the stakes are extra high for the party! Thankfully our team of adventurers has an actual plan. The party has prepared a series of illusions and traps to swing the situation in their favor. Meanwhile, Nock is undercover, posing as a member of the Pearl Daggers, a group he believes is allied with the mysterious soldiers escorting the prisoner to their waiting ship. As he guides them across the island it is only a matter of time until the enemy sniffs out his trick or the traps are sprung and combat is upon them.   When blades are drawn will we learn what form the enemy is hiding beneath their bandages? Just what fiendish foes has our DM lined up against the adventurers this time? Why is Blag smelling the enemies' stool? What brutal technique will Blag use to take one of their foes down? And will anyone even say hi to his sister Natasha?!

Wed, 16 Jun 2021 14:07:32 -0300

The Transformative Trials of the Tree of Transcendence begin! Our team must traverse ten tiers of the tree tower, tackling tumultuous travails. Some of which are tortuous, others fairly tranquil. What trickery and traps will they turn up as they travel? They mustn't be tardy, because if the team is triumphant in transcending to the tippy-top first, then they will be rewarded with tasty tid-bits of knowledge that they truly need in these troubled times! It's time to try to win a meeting with The Tevergreen! Err, sorry, that's The Evergreen. We got really caught up in the whole T word thing here.

Episode 101- Squad Currency

Wed, 02 Jun 2021 13:46:20 -0300

Having left the den of the aboleth Cletus, our party takes a little time to collect themselves and assess their situation. It turns out meeting with an ancient malevolent being can be very traumatic, and our team needs a little time to process everything. Especially the deal Blag found himself making with the sinister Cletus! Thanks to Blag's sacrifice, the mission was a success, leading to a wealth of information about the enemy they face. Called the First Chosen, they are a group of powerful beings who were originally selected by the gods to restore balance to the world should the forces of good or evil ever tip the scales too far in one direction. Now however, they are set on the destruction of everything. And it turns out there is a person known as the Evergreen who happens to be an expert on the First Chosen. A person Shep has a little insight on! 

So it's off to Silverkeep, the location of the headquarters of the Scout Protectors, and a city that apparently everyone who lives in this world should visit at least once! With a journey ahead of them that is actually measured in weeks, what will our party do to make use of their time? How will they recenter themselves in the wake of the aboleth encounter? And what situation will they find themselves in that makes Violexx threaten a kid? It's time for a road trip!

Episode 100- Southern Hospitality

Wed, 19 May 2021 14:33:15 -0300

An ancient and terrible creature awaits our adventurers. For them to learn more of the evil creating chaos in the land, and how to have any hope of stopping it, the party must seek out and beg the guidance of this being. A creature so monstrous and malevolent it literally gave some of our cast nightmares!      It's our aboleth episode. Once you've heard it you'll know exactly which one we're talking about when we say that. Because when our DM Kyle makes an ancient, near omnipotent monster an NPC, he goes big. Scary big. And with a southern accent!

Episode 99- Life Saving Deals

Wed, 05 May 2021 15:47:35 -0300

Having survived their audience with the frog king, our party returns to Namee's home with the cure-all in hand. But with no directions on the label will they be able to figure out how to even use it? Then it's off to shops to gear up and check out some new magic accessories. It's basically an interlude episode, but they've got a large encounter coming up and they might as well look good for it!

Episode 98- The Gang Performs Surgery

Wed, 21 Apr 2021 11:11:09 -0300

His day begins like any other, starting the morning off with a simple healthy breakfast and some time to relax in his modest, yet comfortable quarters. His rooms are slightly larger than most, a benefit of his station as one of the elite guards. Then, before leaving, he memorizes his spells for the day, a standard selection of detect magic, combat magic and psychic abilities, useful for the advance detection and assessment of threats. 

As he passes through the halls, he receives nods of respect, but few friendly waves. He doesn't mind that he's not well liked. He has little time to maintain relationships and he takes pride in excelling at his work and the esteem it brings him. Arriving at his post, he is joined by his two colleagues, one a specialist in illusions, the other in transportation magics. They make a formidable team, which is why they are trusted with such an important posting.

It's not long after that he hears something unexpected; the alarm horn has been blown. Has the Rakshasa finally sent their forces against them? He and his companions show no hesitation, falling into their training and taking up their defensive positions. He is prepared for the worst, he will be unflinching in his duty and will gladly die to protect his lord. Little does he know that it is not an invading army coming towards his position, but rather a team of inept adventurers. And Ribbert the Guard is about to have a very bad day.

Episode 97- Violexx Drops a Killer GI Track

Wed, 07 Apr 2021 14:43:00 -0300

Our party has finally made it into the frog folk cave! Having navigated their way past a rather treacherous pit, they find themselves with only one way forward, down into a big pool of dark water! After a quick and possibly ill-advised test from Namee it becomes clear that this may not be the most inviting place to go for a dip. Thankfully Violexx has an idea to push onwards that's a real gas. Working together, the team brews up a plan and lets it rip. 

Who will they come across in the tunnels that's a real stinker? What wind of inspiration will blow Blag into some deep scientific thoughts? What terrible curse is revealed that gives Violexx vapors? With enemies about, will our adventurers have to cut one? It's time to see if this group can squeak deeper into the bowels of the cave. It's time to be silent and almost deadly!

Episode 96- Shifters Shifting Shiftily

Wed, 24 Mar 2021 13:40:14 -0300

Our adventurers are having a bit of a rough start against the frog people. On a mission to find a cure to the mysterious illness the frog people are said to have, only one of the party has even made it past the cave entrance where the frog folk live! And that really just made things worse. The others have been fighting for their lives, and it's not going their way. Having come up with a do it yourself remedy for the unexpected acid within his body, Nock is ready to put that remedy to use to aid Shep. He may be a little too excited to use it on Shep if we're being honest. But really, after being shot by Shep's arrows more than once we can't blame Nock.

Will the party make it past the horde of frog people and get to the cave? If they do, can they even go through the magical barrier blocking the entrance? They've certainly got enough theories on how to do that! What physical characteristic of fantasy world leaders has thoroughly permeated into the minds of everyone around the table? And why does Lauren mention having her hands inside a dog's abdomen? Well she's a Surgical Veterinary Nurse. That's just a real life fact.

Episode 95- Nocked Up

Wed, 10 Mar 2021 12:06:51 -0400

Our adventurers are on a quest for the mysterious disease ravaging Namee's home. Upon arriving at a cave said to hold an antidote, they have discovered it is heavily inhabited by the frog people who have attacked the party in the past. They were told to expect this of course, but there's a lot of them! With Namee off  to cause chaos, the rest are left to fend for their lives as they engage in combat with the frog folk. The result of this is a slew of stabbings.

There are gobs of gorings. A profusion of piercings! A great deal of gashes. Stacks of slashings! A cornucopia of cuts. Piles of punctures!A real wealth of wounds. And a plethora of perforations. Really just a general shitshow of being stabbed. And Blag is only responsible for about 3 of them! Hopefully the party can persevere because this mission is off to a prickly start.

Episode 94- Toadally Awesome

Wed, 24 Feb 2021 15:22:31 -0400

With the magical tower and it's various floors conquered, our party has safely retrieved Namee's father. Okay, that's not totally true, there was some burning. And Nock got turned into a chicken. But it was fine! And now our party is set on finding the source of the mysterious illness that afflicts the gnomes. With a hot tip from a fast talker they are on their way to the location of the traveling magical purveyor Doctor Traintorker with hopes he'll be able to assist them further.

After a bit of a hike they locate Doctor Traintorker's massive wagon and... Chosen protect us! That's a gigantic horse! Forget finding the source of the disease. It's time to befriend this radiant creature! Thankfully Violexx can make apples on demand. Surely this big beauty will respond well to some good old crapples!

Anyway, it turns out the Doctor has also contracted the disease. But he knows where they need to go if they hope to cure everyone. So once again our adventurers are off under the direction of someone they really don't know, without asking nearly enough questions. Weren't we just talking about this in the last episode's description? Seriously, how are these people entrusted with such grave matters? It seems when times are tough you just have to work with the tools you have. But we're not calling the party tools. Okay, maybe we are.

Episode 93- Picock

Wed, 10 Feb 2021 13:04:30 -0400

Our adventurers have made their way out of the dwarven ruins after a very close call with a creature that probably could have killed them with a look. Thankfully the party can turn on the charm when needed! It seems they were rather hasty in believing the djinn and taking this dangerous journey in the first place. But really, they are basing this on the word of another potential enemy that they immediately believed! It's starting to look like they'll just accept as truth whatever they were told by the last person they spoke with. This is how people end up with unwanted timeshares.

With essentially nothing to show for their efforts except that they added a halfling to the party and they got some magic items, they head back to Namee's hometown where they are met by Namee's mother and word of his father's health. Namee dashes off to check on his dad while the rest of the gang brings mom along with them. It's a Wizzlefizzle family reunion! Just as soon as they work their way to the top of the tower where dear old dad is. And it's a magical tower. Those always go so well for this group!

  How many bad puns will we get out of this situation? Who gives themselves a nickname? Who's going to give Violexx an earful? And what has Nock's feathers all ruffled? Things are about to get very clucked up!

Episode 92- Cave Check

Wed, 27 Jan 2021 16:22:50 -0400

Having defeated a menacing duo of skeletal guards, our adventurers find themselves before a giant set of ominous doors. Doors that clearly block the way that they want to go to achieve their goal. But going in that direction would be much too direct for this team! Especially when there's so much yet to explore! And after finding Nock's amazing new sword in one of the very first areas they entered, you'd better believe the party's going to explore all of it. Because if there's one thing that will always override whatever other objective an adventuring party may have, it's the lust for magic items.   What mysteries lie buried in the ruins? What delightful objects will they discover? Have you ever considered what the day to day life of a dwarven customs agent would be like?  Also is anyone else starting to think rangers maybe have to roll too much for their attacks?  Someone get Shep a dice app because undead surprises await!     Special promo this episode from our friends over at Dice Populi!

Episode 91- Nocked Around

Wed, 13 Jan 2021 15:25:12 -0400

Having stumbled into the dwarven ruins in the desert, our team has begun their search for the magical lamp controlling the djinn that is laying waste to the land. During the exploration, they come across an enchanted sword that has quite a way with words. Bonding with Nock, the sword is about to show our party just what it can do as they come across some shambling skeletons. Here's a hint, it's awesome!

Finally, the full team has a chance to see how well they meld into a cohesive fighting unit. Here's another hint: it could use some improvement! It turns out their newest member needs just a bit more practice with area attacks. We're sure he'll pick up on it quickly and everything will be fine down the road! What aerial maneuvers can Namee pull out when he actually has to fight? How does Blag shred skeletons? And just how badass are grave clerics? Very badass.

Episode 90- Sing Song Sword

Wed, 30 Dec 2020 12:33:23 -0400

Our team came upon a town that was a wreck. Pushing through the place Nock had some very bad skill checks. Surviving his traps they met a halfing scout named Shep and his wolf that looked hardy. Having similar goals to stop the magical desert they decided to join the party. So off they all went to find the dwarven ruins. Because the djinn's lamp there is the solution they are pursuing.

But it turns out finding this place is a difficult goal, until Violexx stumbles into a great big hole. There's streets and homes, full of dust and bone. It does seem she's stumbled into the right zone. But these skeletons've got hands that are grabby. While Nock and Shep stand up high being gabby. Turns out we're going to need a knowledge infusion to deal with major anatomy confusion. 

Will the team fight? Will they go up, down, left or right? Will they find a treasure that's sublime? Will Mke commit a heinous word crime? What situation will Nock find that is trying? Because it turns out Kyle is much better at rhyming!

Episode 89- Shepard's Hook

Wed, 16 Dec 2020 15:02:52 -0400

Our adventurers have found themselves in an unnatural desert, searching for a way to stop it's rapid spread across the land. Upon meeting its unusual source, a djinn that looks to be wasting away, he tells them that he is causing this destruction as the result of a wish. To put a stop to the destruction, he directs them to a ruin deep in the desert where he says the wish was made. On their way there they come across the ruins of a town that appears to have been besieged. Desperate for a break from the monotony of trudging through the desolation, the party decides to investigate the town.    How much will Nock regret being impatient with the party and pushing onward through the town? And will he regret it even more if he keeps doing it? What sort of grievous injury will Blag suffer by his own hand? Will a simple object he discovers be able to make everything better for him? And just how confused will Violexx get about, well, everything? One thing's for sure, this town is going to be a pain in Nock's ass!     Check out episode 26 of The Iron Bound Chest podcast where host Austin interviews Ben, Lauren, Mike and Kyle about doubt and how it can affect your enjoyment of role playing games and how friends and fun can help overcome those feelings.

Episode 88- Condescending a Horse

Wed, 02 Dec 2020 15:19:59 -0400

With the tournament complete and the winner crowned it's finally time for our party to venture out of Butt Mountain. However, since one of our adventurers won, they must first deal with the Giant King's pesky decree that the champion cannot leave. We have a feeling Namee can ferret out a way to get around that!

 

What will the next step be in the party's quest to cure the sickness wracking Namee's home? How awkward will it be when they realize Palino is still there? How hard will the party try to communicate with a horse? And what epic weapon name will our adventurers unearth in their travels? It's time to hit the road and hope it doesn't hit them back!

Wed, 18 Nov 2020 14:06:10 -0400

The final fight has come down to a showdown between Violexx and Namee. Namee goes for a full charm offensive while Violexx grits her teeth and tries to cut him down.   And then, something astounding happens.    A journey unfolds. One that takes us into uncharted territory. That territory? The mindscape of one of our players, laid bare for all.

Episode 86- Round Two, Also Begin!

Wed, 04 Nov 2020 15:14:58 -0400

The giant fight club has begun! First Blag fought the giant called Bear Tamer. Violexx faced off against a giant with a demon. And Namee entered the ring with a rather nasty giant with a massive crushing weapon. With the rest of the party each securing a win, and very fancy titles, it's Nock's turn to take on a challenger! Which of the giants will he be fighting? Well we'll tell you! Our notes here say he's facing Palino. Huh. That's a very refined name for a giant. No wait, Palino is the angel-like warrior the party saw trouncing four giants when they arrived! Nock is so screwed! 

The fight is on! And Palino's Spanish accent is so smooth he's got everyone trying to talk like him. Really, how can Nock stand up to this guy? The charm alone should blow him away. But maybe Nock has a trick up his sleeve. Yeah, yeah, he doesn't have sleeves in his description. It's an expression! Palino would have just let that slide. He's wonderful like that. And so handsome. I wonder what he's doing after he kicks Nock's butt... Ha! Getting his butt kicked in Butt Mountain... That's a good one... Palino has a nice butt...

Episode 85- Round One, Begin!

Wed, 21 Oct 2020 11:39:20 -0300

It's a Giant Combat Tournament! No not a giant tournament like a real big tournament, even though it is that. A giant tournament like the combatants are giants. Literal giants, not just big people. Except for our party of adventurers of course. They're not giants. But they do have giant personalities. Yeah, this is getting confusing. What's important here is Nock and Violexx were watching the tournament and made an off-hand comment about competing. The giant king, king of the giants not just a big king, heard this and volunteered them. So it's time for giant fights, and this one is giant in all the meanings of the word!

Will Blag be able to grasp the concept of non-lethal combat? Will Violexx beat up her opponent or herself? And how will Namee handle being forced into the ring? We hope Nock got some popcorn because it's going to be a spectacle! And because he has to wait his turn. Fighters, get ready!

Episode 83- Uphill Battle

Wed, 23 Sep 2020 16:18:51 -0300

Having spent some time in Namee's gnomish hometown, it's clear that it isn't faring well. A mysterious illness has befallen it's citizens and plants, worsening a food shortage that is compounded by the neighboring giants. They've been using their big grabby hands to take all they can get from the gnomes. It is clear something needs to be done. And since the new party dynamic seems to be genuine interest in helping people, they quickly take on the task.

  With Nock unsuccessful in encouraging the plants to fight off the disease, our party decides to tackle what should be the easier of the two problems, the giants that are stealing much of the gnomes' remaining food. But the climb up the mountain is fraught with its own challenges. The least of which is a distinct lack of maturity brought on by a slip of the DM's tongue! 

It's a party member avalanche as our team attempts to ascend to the peak! Will they even make it to the top? Will they at least have some fun on the way? It's time for some high stakes adventure!

Episode 82- Little Gnome Fact

Wed, 09 Sep 2020 10:21:00 -0300

Here at the Episode Description Department, we pride ourselves on our ability to, well, describe things. Specifically, events within an episode. This one has us stumped though, as we find ourselves confronted with something we've never seen before. It is so mind-boggling that attempts at description elude us. For in this episode, the players mostly talk to one another in character. And they do it a lot. 

We haven't done the math, but it feels like they talk to each other in character more than they do out of character. Flabbergasting we know. They all talk about their pasts. Seriously, each of them. In a conversational format! It feels like a whole new game. Some sort of talking to each other in character game. No, that doesn't flow well. Discussion between imaginary people game? There has to be a better term for that. Talk playing game? We're open to suggestions here. 

Normally this is the part where we ask vaguely foreshadowy questions like will "Namee do something crazy". But honestly it feels like we never got the momentum going to get there. You might as well just listen to it already because we're no good to you here.

Episode 81- Maker of Nom Noms

Wed, 26 Aug 2020 15:13:20 -0300

Blag and Namee have ventured into the portal to journey to Namee's hometown at the behest of the wizard Wanzledorf. Along the way they survived more than one ambush from frog-like creatures! Passing through a small village in the middle of a great valley they met Monadnock, a firbolg with a commanding presence and a deep connection to nature. It turns out he is the same firbolg who founded the Onyx Shields, and has been back among his people serving as a protector since leaving that group. He informs them that he has read the signs in nature and knew that he would be called upon soon to defend the land. After just a bit of confusion as to what happened to his old friend Derand, he is ready to venture forth and joins the party, seeing their meeting as being fated. 

Arriving at the gonimsh settlement of FizzyWhizzalPop they came across a tiefling woman insisting to a guard that she was there to help them. Something she is going to quickly get to prove when the arm of a giant reaches into the cave entrance and grabs a gnome, yelling "nom noms"! Which of these new benevolent characters will be the first to rush out to their aid? And just who is this mysterious tiefling? One thing's for sure, she's got such a cool accent!

Episode 80- Season 2- New Friends

Wed, 26 Aug 2020 11:37:19 -0300

A new adventure begins! Having just successfully saved the world from the machinations of an evil mind flayer (we're surprised they pulled it off too), the party has entered a new era. Some might call it a new season in their lives. Maybe a second season? We're still workshopping that. Kort has gone off to help rebuild his former thieves guild. And Rathborn has taken up a position as Ambassador for the Red Halls, the new home of the Onyx Shields organization. Wasn't he trying to kill them when we started? Talk about character development!

Namee and Blagriland had just said farewell to their former companions when conveniently a portal opened before them, out of which came a gnome wizard who had come to summon Namee home. It seems Namee's home is in danger, and that he is needed, because apparently he's royalty. News to us too! That little guy is full of surprises!

So it's off on a new quest! What dangers await the two friends on the other side of the portal? What new friends will they meet on their travels to Namee's home? How completely off the rails will one of those meetings go? And how big of an ego will the party have from having just saved the world? Actually, nothing there. It's kind of surprising actually. Not even much in the way of celebratory high fives. But then again, they do get distracted easily. Or they just forgot. Maybe if they do it again it'll sink in. Let's see what happens on the road to FizzyWhizzalPop! That's the name of Namee's home. Anyway, let's go already!

Episode 79- Season 1 Finale

Wed, 12 Aug 2020 11:07:42 -0300

This is it. The time has come for the final battle between our team of heroes and the evil mind flayer Lililith. And yes, we finally called them heroes. Our adventurers now know the full extent of his manipulations in their pasts, creating tragedy after tragedy to further his own goals to dominate the world. They've defeated his champions, individuals who played significant roles during their lives. And now they've even acquired god-like abilities that will be needed in the climactic fight against Lililith, who has transcended to an immensely powerful form as well. 

Will the heroes' powers be enough to foil Lililith's grand designs? Will the party recognize the gravity of the situation and keep things serious? Or will they crack a bunch of jokes while Blag does his usual horrific attacks against the enemy? And what does Lililith have against libraries? One way or another, this is the end of the line. Who will stand when all is said and done? Let's find out together, in the Season 1 Finale! 

 

And join us on August 26th for the beginning of Season 2!

Episode 78- Blast From the Past

Wed, 29 Jul 2020 15:29:18 -0300

Our first season is drawing to a close. With that comes many farewells. Our villain has been pulling numerous strings over the years and now many of the people affected are coming together, perhaps for the last time. Join us as we briefly recall where they are at this moment in time, before this chapter in their lives draws to its conclusion.    If you're not caught up this is your spoiler warning!   Blagriland Mawriss- Searching for his mother. Found a sister he didn't even know he had. Altered by magic to be a warrior for his land, he met a wise monk named Babushka who passed along her teachings to him in the little time they had together before she fell in battle. Now he fights to restore his family and protect those who cannot protect themselves.  

Rathborn Finebottom- Yes he knows his last name makes it hard for people to take him seriously. Which is exactly why he doesn't tell people what it is. He was on a misguided quest for revenge, and has learned the identity of the true architect of his pain. So now he's on a better quest for revenge! A warlock whose patron is the Lord of Lies, Rath's been lying to others and himself since he was a child. Now he's ready to embrace his past and save the friends and family who have accepted him for who he is.

  Kort Hawkins- Former member of a gang of thieves that was betrayed by a Lieutenant named Braddock. A bard by training, Kort is often able to get out of tough situations on charm alone. As long as he doesn't have to negotiate costs with someone shrewd. And there was that one time with Kaylee when he tried to convince her to check for mimics. But other than that, very charming! And he loves elephants.   Namee- A smuggler and avid tinkerer. Friend of the IronOak family. Was once roommates with Rath. Quirky and intensely lovable, he is with the party to honor Tor and complete his quest to restore balance to the world. Which is weird because he's super chaotic. But it's hard to worry about that when he's just so cute!      Tor IronOak- Original member of this adventuring party. Was to be the next Emperor of the Lichstone Empire after winning the contest that brought the party together. Known to throw a hammer. An avid gambler, he took a chance and sacrificed himself to save his daughter. He will always be missed, even if the adventurers don't really get a chance to tell him that during this battle.    The Wizard King- A very non-progressive title for a nation's ruler considering the current Wizard King is Blag's mom. She is a powerful practitioner of the arcane arts.  For many years she has been under an intense mind-control spell to create enhanced armies of hideously mutated beings. This is a skill she developed creating warriors from her nation's young, including her own son! Come on lady. The latest version of her process creates hideous mutated beasts that our party calls fauxgres. Which is clever because they look like ogres but aren't. Get it? Moving on.   Derand- Paladin and former leader of the Onyx Shields. A strong and noble leader, he took in Rathborn as a child after the Onyx Shields were called on to destroy the rampaging Finebottom clan. Yes, again, it sounds less dreadful when you mention the family name. No one knew that their raiding and murdering were due to the evil influence of a particular mindflayer. Derand later died saving Rath and the Lichstone Empire from demonic invasion. He has since been returned to undeath and forced to fight for evil purposes by that same mindflayer. Also, he's very much a skeleton at the moment.   Braddock- The guy who betrayed Kort. Runs the thieves guild now. Or did until he got seriously stomped by our adventurers when they infiltrated his compound. That was after they stumbled on it because Namee wanted to clean things. Braddock currently appears to be on a number of steroids and not quite himself. In fact, he looks a bit like one of those fauxgres!     Baron Von Uberdorf- Not mind-controlled. Just a really bad dude. He's a Vampire that wants to dominate everything. He moves his household to wherever he is working on turning others to spread his vampirism, taking strange but really just misunderstood people with him like the monster-making Leachenstein. The Baron kidnapped Tor's daughter to turn her, leading to a series of events that took Tor away from us. He barely escaped his last encounter with the adventurers. He's back, and this time his Swedish accent isn't as funny. But still at least smirk worthy.   Now let's get to it!

Episode 77- Battle Royale

Wed, 15 Jul 2020 11:21:24 -0300

Our adventurers have survived their all-out charge through the battlefield leading to Spine Breaker Mountain. While their friends engage the enemy forces in the raging battle behind them, our team pushes onward. They can only pray they will arrive in time to stop their foe's evil plans to dominate their world, and many more worlds beyond. However it quickly becomes apparent that an army is not the only force the villain has brought to the mountain.

The party has come face to face with their pasts. Have the choices they've made throughout their lives come back to haunt them? Except for Namee of course. His decisions always seem to have immediate consequences! It's time to fight in another desperate struggle. And this time, it's extremely personal!

Episode 75- Holey Ship That's a ...

Wed, 17 Jun 2020 15:36:17 -0300

There's a lot of things that happen in this episode. Does our team make it to the astral plane? Yes. Is there a ridiculous number of Gith between them and their objective of saving their plane of existence? Very much yes. Do our adventurers once again casually saunter towards an encounter that should certainly be their doom? Yes, 100% yes. 

But what's really important here is the strain these trying times have placed on two valued members of this group. For starters, Namee gets really dark. Like, someone please check on Namee and make sure he's okay dark. And then the party goes and breaks literal hours of our DM Kyle's planning. It seems like he and Namee could both use a little love. Hopefully someone can cast Power Word Hug!

Episode 74- Gith or Jith

Wed, 03 Jun 2020 15:11:06 -0300

With a bit of creative spell work, and a hefty pinch of luck, our adventurers have somehow survived their encounter with a significant baddie. Justifiably, the party is taking some time to bask in the glory and pat themselves on the back. Their celebration is quickly squashed however by the mindflayer Lililith, their apparent patron, who informs them that much worse is coming their way. Lililith begins to connect a series of dots for our adventurers. Seemingly unrelated events they've experienced may all be part of a much larger picture. And that trail of connections is about to lead them to a very important mission. One that takes place on a totally different plane of existence!

Episode 73- Elly Never Forgets

Wed, 20 May 2020 14:23:44 -0300

It's the Trial of the Body, which it turns out is a very serious fight! Judging by all the skeletons littering this cave, the Trial has not gone well for a lot of previous adventurers!

  So just what is it that the mindflayer Lililith expects them to battle? Well we don't want to say too much to avoid spoiling things. Unless of course you listened to the previous episode. Then you know. But if you haven't and you're still reading this you at least deserve a strong hint! Let's just say the game isn't called Dungeons & Kitties. Nor is it called Dungeons & Puffins, despite Namee's multiple letters to the publisher. Rath proposed Dungeons & Safaris to get some free advertising for his business. Kort pitched Dungeons & Elephants, which so far is a more accurate description of the world they are in. And Blag just wants to see his mom. 

No matter what monster they face our adventurers better take this fight seriously! Otherwise the name is going to have to be Caves & The Dead Intelligence Check Party!

Episode 72- Finebottom

Wed, 06 May 2020 15:32:31 -0300

The final arc of season 1 begins! The party is reunited with their always shiny friend Fergus and his mindflayer boss, who we now know is named Lillilith. That's just hard to say. It makes sense that Fergus calls him Lilly! The Lilster and Fergus have whisked away our adventurers to a massive cave for The Trial of the Body, which sounds like it is going to involve way too much cardio. And it is cold in this cave! Exercising in the cold is one of their least favorite things!

Will Rath be forced to reveal one of his most prominent secrets? How will Kort use their subterranean surroundings to their advantage? And will the party just rush in and ask questions later? Well, of course. Have you listened to any episodes with Namee?

With their adventure in the thieves guild behind them our cast reflects on their characters' journeys thus far as they prepare to begin the final arc of season 1! And yes, that's over 70 episodes in a season. Sure, that does sound like a lot. Don't try to constrain us to some construct of what a season means! We thrive on chaos.

 

So join our players as they reflect on the events of the adventure and how that has shaped the growth of their characters. Or jump in mid-adventure if that's your thing! Come along with us, as we rush towards the exciting conclusion!

Episode 71- Kort Gives a Finger

Wed, 22 Apr 2020 11:19:00 -0300

With Kort's disguise blown, it's time to take the fight to Braddock. Namee, who is in elk form, with Blag riding on his back, is charging in head first to introduce himself to the baddie. Can you say he's at ramming speed if he's an elk? When it comes to being a druid, you could say that Namee is at the head of his class. He's really using his head for this one. Someone should give Braddock a heads up about what's heading his way.

But here we are making all these bad head puns while Kort is about to give his old rival the finger. Will Braddock be knocked head over heels by our adventurers? Will Namee also be knocked head over heels by a new discovery? There's only so many of these puns to work with folks! Oh also, where's Derand's body? But let's not get ahead of ourselves. We wouldn't want to give anyone a head ache. Alright, we're going to just get this episode started and head on out!

Episode 70- Swashbuttkicking

Wed, 08 Apr 2020 17:07:51 -0300

This episode is brought to you by the phrase, "have at thee". Attacking someone in a swashbuckling manner? Be a sport about it and shout, "have at thee"! Also brought to you by the new phrase, "Blag style stuff". Need to impart the impression of a horrific way for something to die? Just say that there's some "Blag style stuff"! The audience will get it.  

We're also sponsored by Namee's Cleaning Service. Have you recently survived a battle that's created a bit of a mess? Namee's Cleaning Service is here for you! Cleaning so good, you won't even notice what he's actually doing.  

Now, let's get to the swashbuckling! Additional promotional consideration provided by "fire", "prestidigitation", and "gadoosh".

Episode 69- King-a-Ruse

Wed, 25 Mar 2020 14:25:16 -0300

Our notes for this episode description say "Emperor Tor and his entourage arrive at the palace to begin their next heist." But wait, isn't Tor, well, you know? And this guy is way too tall to be Tor. This person also has red skin and horns. Is that Rath? Oh there's a flying miniature T-Rex with him. That's definitely Rath. 

Okay, so "Emperor Tor" and the team's plan here is to use disguises to gain an audience with the King. Considering the very, uhm, interesting attire Blag has chosen, it's a wonder they aren't immediately riddled with arrows by the palace guards. Will they be granted an audience with the King? Are they really going to let the Elk in? And what surprising talent has Rath been hiding from us all? It's time to steal a crown!

Episode 67- Thieves Guild Stole Our Episode Title

Wed, 26 Feb 2020 14:20:29 -0400

So Namee, with the best of intentions, accidentally led our adventurers into a confrontation with some Thieves Guild guards. But really, it's not his fault. He wanted to honor a fallen friend by doing a little cleaning. How could he have known an unused temple was actually a hidden entrance for a band of scoundrels? If anything, this is on the thieves.

Thanks to Jade's warning, at least the party knows the mess they've stumbled into. And yes, they may have done some snake attacks, and shot a guy in the face with magic. But that's besides the point! As we said before, the Thieves Guild is really at fault due to a lack of adequate signage. Anyway, some hasty plans are made and sloppily executed. Then the team comes at the issue again with some deception of their own. It's time to infiltrate the Thieves Guild! On purpose this time!

Episode 66- Cleaning Out the Temple

Wed, 12 Feb 2020 13:47:51 -0400

  With the Staff of Pa-La-Di in hand, the Dungeon Master has plans to "wrap"-up this pyramid mission with a quick trip back to town so the adventurers can see a cleric and get their curses removed. And for some, to get their eyeballs back. But Namee doesn't care about the whims of a Dungeon Master. And Namee wants to do something random before calling it a day. And do you know what happens when you take a mundane situation like a visit to town and you add in Namee? Chaos. Chaos is what happens.   Will Rath keep the curse of beauty and risk the chance of it backfiring later? Has Kort finally learned the value of a gold coin? And will any of it matter, because Namee is just going to Namee? It's time to do some cleaning! Yes, we said cleaning. Trust us, it's way more ridiculous than it sounds.

Episode 65- The Boys Get a Staff Infection

Wed, 29 Jan 2020 15:10:48 -0400

After overcoming the terror that was the Scarab King, the party pushes further towards the dusty heart of the pyramid. It's just about time to wrap up this expedition. But something really stinks around here. And we don't mean our adventurers! 

Rather than waste away debating the relative size of bugs, they delve deeper into the decrepit digs, where they learn that someone has a rotten sense of humor. Or is it just really dry?  

Hopefully the team can preserve their wits as they deal with the disgusting horrors all around them. And this time we do mean our adventurers!

Episode 64- Pyramid Scheme

Wed, 15 Jan 2020 14:06:06 -0400

Having survived the last round of traps mostly unscathed, but definitely worse for the wear, our adventurers continue to push into the heart of the pyramid. As they enter the first chamber, it quickly becomes clear that they've entered the puzzle phase of their exploration.

  They should have no problems with that of course. Historically, puzzles have been no issue for them! What's that? What about the Spa Tile you ask? We'll thank you for not bringing up the Spa Tile. Yes, it's capitalized now. And yes, now we're all reliving that travesty. But fear not! These puzzles involve riddles, so there's no risk at all of them overthinking things or just flat out not getting them!

Here's a riddle for you dear listeners. What do you call a half-elf, a gnome, a tiefling and a shifter who are afraid of some little bugs? The answer: Intelligence Check!

Episode 63- Phara-Oh-You Got Ugly

Wed, 01 Jan 2020 15:00:15 -0400

After what is probably their weirdest getaway yet, our adventurers return to Jade's hideout for a post heist debrief. She informs them there is still much thieving to be done in order assist her with a special mission that is of particular interest to both Kort and Rath. Their next step? Steal a very sought-after treasure from a pyramid. Good thing that old fear about pyramids having traps and curses is just a myth, right?

So, it turns out the pyramid is full of traps and curses. Also the entrance is strewn with the bones of others who came before them attempting to nab the treasure. All ominous signs that would make reasonable people reconsider their next steps. Good thing this group is far from reasonable! Let's join the party as the venture in. What could possibly go wrong?

Episode 62- Heisted as Planned 2: Heisteder

Wed, 18 Dec 2019 14:29:32 -0400

Having bungled their way into a secure complex, our adventurers continue to follow Jade's directions as she guides them through what has clearly become a heist. What are her goals there? And how does she know the building layout and guard locations so perfectly? Very good questions that she is masterfully dodging. But the party pushes on, because really, what else do they have to do?

Meanwhile Rath is not having a good time. Blag and Namee are pulling off Looney Tunes routines, and Kort is chatting up a blast from the past. They're all having a very enjoyable heist. Rath is left to reminisce about their last pilfering mission, which was lovely for him. Unlike this mission. Hopefully he'll get to use a flashy spell. That always makes him feel better. That and grabbing treasure of course. Thankfully his teammates are there to throw him a line. It's time to steal stuff! Again!

Episode 61- Happy Feet

Wed, 04 Dec 2019 12:00:00 -0400

Having dealt with Collin's attempts to take over the Onyx Shields, our adventurers find themselves being whisked away by the mysterious thief Jade. The last time the party chased after her they ended up stranded on an island of dinosaurs, shifters and snake people. And yet for some reason, here they are, following her again with no idea of where they are, why they are there, or what Jade is after. 

So once again the party is rushing head first into a situation they know nothing about! Knowing this team, they will find an unexpected way through that will leave Kyle shaking his head in defeat. It's time to sap away just a little bit more of the Dungeon Master's life force!

Episode 60- Two Dimensional Fight

Wed, 04 Dec 2019 11:00:00 -0400

Having uncovered a classic case of voter fraud, our adventurers have come to an important conclusion: Always have vetted, third party oversight over all ballots. Also, Collin is the worst. And apparently he's hit peak d-bag and is just going to go all-in on being a bad guy. With the cast of a spell, he divides the party and kicks off cross-dimensional, magical combat.

With magic missiles flying, magic fire firing, and just a little bit of down to earth gardening, the party is set to take Collin's name off the list of nominees. Permanently. 

Because they're probably going to kill him.

Episode 59- Secret Vote

Wed, 20 Nov 2019 10:00:00 -0400

It's a rough time for our adventurers who are still reeling from the loss of one of their own. Thankfully, there is a beacon of hope in the darkness. And it's a gnome dressed in a penguin's skin. It sounds less beacon of hope-like when you put it that way. Regardless, Namee has warmed the hearts of his new party members. Notice how we're saying his party members. Because it's his party now. You'll see.

With the funeral at an end, the team is called back to the Red Halls where the horror that is politics awaits them. The Onyx Shields are voting for their new leader, and something is off about the tally. Will Kort have a very ugly moment? How excited is Rath going to be about getting to talk to a bunch of Onyx Shields? Will Blag forget who someone he once considered a dear friend is? And will there be a new villain named Chad hanging around? No, but that would have been a great political reference for our younger listeners!

Episode 57- Heroic Moment

Wed, 23 Oct 2019 11:42:02 -0300

It's time! Time to take on the Vampire Lord Baron Von Uberdorf! Time to save Tor's daughter and prevent her transformation into one of the Baron's minions. Time for our adventurers to almost certainly get their asses handed to them. But first, they decide to focus on smashing a couple coffins. Because we haven't waited long enough for this fight! And although the Baron may be soft-spoken, it turns out you do not want to mess with his furniture! 

When the Baron decides he's had enough of their intrusion it does not go well for the party. Rath almost explodes from one of the Baron's vicious attacks. Seriously. He barely avoids a hit so hard, it would have probably turned him into a pile of goo. Kort brings an elephant to the party. Blag gets to live out one of his favorite monster fight fantasies. And Tor does what he does best and changes everything.

Episode 56- Simon Says

Wed, 09 Oct 2019 10:56:05 -0300

After patting themselves on the back to celebrate all the danger they heroically ran away from, our adventurers ready themselves to confront the Baron and rescue Tor's daughter. They heal up and confer with the vampire hunter they just saved for any pro tips. But the last time this guy went against the Baron he ended up as a zombie. So, he may not be the best resource. Maybe the Baron isn't all that he's been hyped up to be though. He's probably got some stereotypical bad guy voice just to seem tougher than he really is.

As the party enters the final chamber, will the Baron mind the interruption? How will he feel about these guys going through all his stuff? Will the party try diplomacy or just start throwing hammers? And will Rath be able to stop Kort from saying something they might all regret? It's time to confront a Vampire Lord!

Episode 55- Can't Lose Health if You're Dead

Wed, 25 Sep 2019 10:40:54 -0300

Last episode we left our adventurers in a room with a creature that may or may not be a dwarf child. As I was sitting here thinking of how best to describe the party's imminent destruction, I did what any professional episode describer does and got distracted by the internet. There I found an article about D&D enemies that appear weak, but are really nasty. Interesting, especially given the situation our team finds themselves in! But then, I saw the image they tagged on to it. A glorious squirrel wielding an axe and a shield, riding through a battlefield on a frog. Now they had my full attention!

Scrolling through the article revealed no dwarvish girls that are clearly a death trap. In fact they even had a vampire on there which was unexpected seeing as how we know one is waiting to just obliterate our adventurers at the end of this mausoleum. Sure they may look harmless, but even our team of not-quite heroes knows vampires are bad news. "Odd", I thought, but I scrolled on as my sights were set on the majestic war squirrel. And despite all the horrors we've witnessed in this current dungeon, the true horror of this story is how I came to the bottom of the article with no mention whatsoever of this beautiful warrior. I had been struck down by the biggest fiend of them all, the clickbait! 

So yes, things happen in this episode. Many of them are awful. Like Kevin's lost heroic moment. And Kyle's lost time making encounters our team skips right by. I'd love to tell you all about that, but right now I'm too busy researching Squirrelfolk for my next D&D character. Grab your acorns, and get ready for winter! Not because of anything that happens in this episode, but you know, squirrels.

Episode 54 - Heal the Dead

Wed, 11 Sep 2019 01:00:00 -0300

As our adventurers continue their quest to save Tor's daughter from the clutches of the vampire Baron Von Uberdorf, you just have to admire the artistry with which he has created this gauntlet of creepiness. Clearly he has a passion for dungeon design! First the hedge maze to even get to his manor was just crawling with undead encounters. Then he had that giant collection of treasure guarded by a freaking mummy. And now this mausoleum, where every turn leads to another twisted terror. Each new room is basically an 80's metal band album cover. Hopefully Rath is taking notes for his dungeon business, because he's getting one heck of a free lesson here. 

Wasn't the Baron trying to take over the world? Something about traveling around and starting vampire outbreaks? Sure, he's probably immortal, but who has the time for opening global vampire franchises and so much dungeon planning? It makes you question what you do with your time if he can pull all this off. He's got plots and schemes, a giant house complete with hell hounds, a healthy social life, and dudes with heads that pop off when they become awful bat creatures. And here we are just playing Dungeons & Dragons.

Episode 52 - Rubbing it Pays Off

Tue, 13 Aug 2019 01:00:00 -0300

Time is running out to save Tor's daughter. Having barely pried Kort out of the siren's magical grasp, the team has approached the ghostly Butler Rempfer, desperate for any assistance they can get. It turns out he is willing to help the team locate the baron, and even point them to a powerful weapon to help defeat him. But the Butler has one condition, they return his heart to his body so that he can be free to rest in peace. He's probably sick of cleaning bathrooms. If Blag is any indication, shifters like the Houndmaster eat some gross stuff. So it's off to find a heart! Having recently visited the lab of the mad scientist Von Leachtenstein, our adventurers think they have a good idea where to start their search!

Deciding to make the most of their limited time, our adventures split up, once again violating that super basic D&D rule. Rath heads off to complete the Butler's mission, while the others go to finally raid the treasury. And that's the part where things really just all go to hell. Will the team find what they need to defeat the sinister baron? Will their lust for magical items get them in to yet another ridiculous situation? Why does Kort keep looking down his pants? And will someone please see if that crying baby is okay? They probably just want their mummy!

Episode 50 - Maniacs in a Mansion

Wed, 17 Jul 2019 01:00:00 -0300

Episode 50! A major milestone! The kind of event people who make podcasts would generally celebrate with a special episode. Something well thought out in advance. But if you've listened this far, you know making plans isn't exactly one of these guys' strengths in game. Why would it be any different out of game?

Speaking of making plans, that's actually something our adventurers try to do this episode. And some of their ideas are actually reasonable. Dare we say almost even intelligent? You might be saying to yourself, "that's not the party I know!". Fear not listeners. In the end it all devolves back down to brash action and rash choices. But hey, at least we're 50 episodes in and the bard hasn't tried to seduce someone.

Episode 49 - For Bidden

Wed, 03 Jul 2019 17:22:00 -0300

Having finally reached the manor of the vampire Baron Von Uberdorf, our adventurers have somehow charmed their way inside and been given free rein. With a couple very important restrictions that are just asking to be ignored by the team. Showing surprising restraint, they begin their exploration of the grounds in search of Tor's daughter.

Coming across an unexpected guest of the Baron's, Kort and Rath try out a new routine we're calling Two Fine Fellows Foppishly Frolic with Frivolous Frankensteinian Flair. It's fairly fascinating.

Speaking of flair, we're excited to announce that we now have merchandise available featuring designs from friend of the show kevvart! Check out all the awesome apparel, stickers and so much more at tee.pub/lic/18PfY6FQeuc . And be sure to check out more of his work on instagram @kevvart!

Episode 48 - Hit the Wraith not the Rath

Sun, 16 Jun 2019 01:00:00 -0300

Things are getting desperate for our adventurers as they continue their journey through the perilous hedge maze of Baron Von Uberdorf. Knowing their destination can't be far, they venture on, pursued by the obnoxious heavy breathing, and that wraith that at this point is really just being a jerk.

Can the party survive this gauntlet? Will Rath be undone by a terrifying new threat that he should have seen coming? Will Kort finally use his heroic moment? Will one of the adventurers wind up as dead as the puns the players try to resurrect? As things heat up, let's hope they can push their luck, and their foes, just a little more.

Episode 47 - a-MAZE-ing

Wed, 05 Jun 2019 18:03:00 -0300

Last episode left our adventurers deep in the treacherous hedge maze of Baron Von Uberdorf. As they traverse further in to the maze, they are pursued by the sounds of heavy, bestial breathing. And then there's also that wraith that keeps popping out of the bushes and taking swings at the party. Kind of like when you have an uninvited guest, and you think they're finally going to leave, but they just linger. And try to murder you. You get the idea.

Soon the party discovers an ominous globe of impenetrable darkness, just daring them to ignore it. Kind of like those people out on the street who want you to sign up for something, and you try to avoid eye contact, and they're ready for it. And then they pounce and take a chunk of your soul. It's like that.

When poor rolls leave the team a little unarmed, will Blag take the initiative to put something in his mouth when it is very clearly a bad idea? Kind of like when someone doesn't think things though. You know, like a moron. There's a zero in the logo for a reason folks!

Episode 46 - The Blag and the Hound

Wed, 22 May 2019 16:40:00 -0300

Having more or less successfully defended the town of Wildsteel from a Zombie uprising, our adventurers decide to take the fight to the malevolent Baron Von Uberdorf. After they get a good night's sleep of course. Upon arriving at his manor they discover the way forward is blocked, safely secured by an unlocked gate, a doggy, and a hedge maze. Terrifying, we know.

Will our adventurers be able to overcome the canine guardian? As things heat up for Beaker, will the party learn a little something about the nature of companionship? Or will it just break down into a fight over who is responsible for the cool thing they did?

Join the adventurers as they navigate the twists and turns of the DM's devious labyrinth, and make a lot of paper sounds in the process. Let's hope they don't hit a dead end!

Episode 45 - An Un-Deadly Dilemma

Wed, 08 May 2019 01:00:00 -0300

With screams echoing throughout the town, our adventurers rush to see what has so many dwarves running for their lives. It's zombies. Let's be clear, there's basically one thing that happens this episode. They fight the zombies. Sure, Tor does some cleric stuff. And of course some bad puns are tossed about. But really, it all leads back to fighting zombies. Which is totally awesome! About time we get some zombies in here!

We here in the episode description department would love to glamorize it and say there's compelling character development and thought-provoking dialogue. But at one point Blag punches through a zombie's head. Which, to be clear, is so badass!

It's a zombie fighting episode. And fighting zombies is rad as hell! So strap on your chainsaw prosthetic hand and get ready to shred some walkers!

Welcome to Wildsteel! Home of the IronOak clan! We've got fun for the whole family! Sure there is clearly something sinister going on here, and your daughter might get abducted by our mysterious new benefactor, but don't worry about that! We have a new hedge-maze. And an orphanage!

Episode 43 - The Pants Theory

Wed, 10 Apr 2019 18:00:00 -0300

With the party divided, Kort, Blag and Rath find themselves back at the Red Halls. Rath barely fights off a panic attack when they come across a large gathering of Onyx Shields. Our adventurers learn of a perverse mystery that they will probably fail to solve. And, even more terrifying than the ghoulish crime, there are politics afoot!

What will Blag do that could land him in an early grave? Will the party be reunited? Just how many houses does Tor own? Will there be a startling lack of concern for orphans? And why is everyone checking their pockets?

Episode 42 - A Torless Group

Wed, 27 Mar 2019 01:00:00 -0300

So Tor got squished. He was completely stomped on. Is that insensitive to say? It is what happened after all. His tiny dwarf body found itself between a floor and a large stomping foot. He was stepped upon with murderous intent. It sure seems like he got squished out of existence. These are just the facts people. Either way, the rest of the party doesn't seem too concerned about it. Moving on with their day, they decide to complete their exploration of the tower.

The party encounters a series of character interactions that Rath is more than happy to just relax and observe. Kyle puts a very strong emphasis on the word fate. And then they are just terrible at rescuing the prisoners.

So why did Tor's body do more of a poof than a splat? Did he leave a forwarding address for his mail? Should the rest of the party go for brunch? What's the reason the adventurers (minus Tor, he squished) are on this island? Are there even good brunch options there? Doesn't seem to be much of a restaurant scene. Where will the party venture next? If only there were another ominous message to guide them on their way!

Episode 41 - Tor’s the Healer

Wed, 13 Mar 2019 16:18:00 -0300

With the spectral guardian of the first floor defeated, our adventurers continue their climb up the wizard Steve's tower. Okay, defeated is a stretch, but history is written by the victors right? Or in this case the ones who didn't run completely away. They just ran out of the tower to force the townsfolk to help them. And they only had one of their team unconscious from being munched on. That's basically the textbook definition of victory!

Reaching the second level, the party comes upon a seemingly innocent group of fairies who just want to play. It turns out that sometimes it is all fun and games overcoming a wizard's security system! Tor brings out a classic party game, while Kort totally overthinks things.

Will they make it to the top of the tower? And if so will they actually try to talk to Steve, or are we looking at a magical stand-off? Will Steve tire of their interference? Will anyone know who the healer is? It might be time for Steve to put his foot down on the whole situation!

Episode 40 - It’s a Trap

Wed, 27 Feb 2019 00:00:00 -0400

Last episode our adventurers had a very self-inflicted run-in with the Yuan Ti. This led to a shocking revelation about a particular sea monster that leaves the party questioning the wizard Steve's motives. Realizing that maybe Blag's previously unjustified threats to the wizard were spot-on, the team decides to return to the tower and put Steve to some hard questions.

Of course things never go that smoothly for these adventurers, and they quickly find themselves debating the merits of using local villagers as cannon fodder. The same villagers they just finished defending. By now it should be clear that these guys are not good people. Once again, they attempt to bluff and confuse their way through a situation. With less than stellar results.

What ghastly discovery will they make when they enter Steve's tower? And just how long will it take them to fight the damn thing already? Will Kort become a monster's snack? That's oddly specific, so very likely yes.

Episode 39 - Tor Fails at Surrendering

Wed, 13 Feb 2019 16:33:00 -0400

It's time for Blag to enter the ominous Steve's Tower. Will Steve even be home? There aren't any windows or doors so you can't tell if there's a light on inside. Apparently he's really in to privacy. How does he get his monthly delivery of "Big Dumb Towers in the Middle of a Small Village Digest"?

With Blag in the most unwelcoming tower ever, the rest of the party is left to find a productive use of their time. Rath makes one of his dreams come true before they venture out to scout the nearby Yaun-Ti village. Those are the snake people they helped defeat in such horrible fashion in the last episode. Probably no hard feelings there.

Is there more going on here than the party suspects? Will Tor be extremely accommodating to a potential enemy? And what very situational new character voice will he debut? Will Kyle burn out on snake people voices? And what word will get banned from future episodes? Here's a hint, it rhymes with Rath groaning in disgust.

Episode 38 - Battle in the Buff

Wed, 30 Jan 2019 00:00:00 -0400

In our last episode the party reached a village of shifters and learned about the mysterious Steve's Tower. Kyle clearly had a better name in mind for that, but the players are basically children and he knows when it's best to just let the kids have their way. Rath was readying himself to be teleported in to the aforementioned Tower when the village came under attack. Deciding it would be best to seek an audience with Steve at a later time, they take to the ramparts to join in the defense.

This would all be very noble of them if Tor and Blag didn't take the opportunity to try out something new that can only generously be described as a battle strategy. If nothing else, it is sure to inspire horror in the enemy, and everyone else around them. Kort invokes the name of Steve to strike just a little more fear in the hearts of the attackers. While Rath utilizes the advanced strategy of aiming for the head. And then Blag goes and takes it to a whole new level of groan-inducing attacks.

Will our party actually contribute to the defense of the villagers? And will they discover more about the mystery of Steve? Will a certain bard learn the consequences of an off-hand comment? And will they somehow manage to offend any Yanni fans who may be listening? It's time to earn that explicit tag!

Episode 37 - Steve's Tower

Wed, 16 Jan 2019 19:26:00 -0400

Some important concepts to know for this episode-

Mind flayer- Mysterious race with tentacles around their mouth. Needs to consume at least one intelligent brain a month to remain healthy. That last one's not related to our story, but is a fun tidbit.

Electricity- Commonly used as a magical barrier. Resistant to hammers. Bad for tieflings.

Separation Anxiety- What can happen when you take a dwarf away from shiny things.

Shifter- A race believed to be descendants of humans and lycanthropes. They smell a little funky. Suspicious of clothing.

Clear communication is important- For example, when a DM hands the players a map with terrible handwriting on it. Any resulting confusion isn't the players' fault.

Mysterious Tower- Mysterious. Especially when you can't decipher the name given to the tower by the DM on their map. Be careful when touching mysterious towers.

And of course, protect your eggs!

Episode 36 - Cagey Choices

Wed, 02 Jan 2019 17:03:00 -0400

In our last episode the team faced a series of challenges as they were led through the mountain by the Warforged Fergus. These challenges tested their moral character, willingness to sacrifice for others, and if they can get over their paralyzing fear of taking damage they can see coming.

They also showed that they are willing to forget about ethical dilemmas as soon as they are able to move past them. And while they may be inclined to just gloss over what was done to that poor displacer beast, we here at the Episode Description Department feel it is our duty to hold them to account! Sure it had big claws with which it tried to kill the adventurers. But not one of them attempted to cuddle the tentacled murder-kitty!

We've just been handed a note saying our job here is to talk about the current episode. Fine. Our adventurers continue through the mountain, facing the challenges Fergus leads them to. There is no cuddling in this episode. And yes, they do show a little mercy. But there is no discussion of the fate of the poor displacer beast or how some party members allow their lust for blood to override the misgivings of the others!

Episode 35 - Displacer Emotions

Wed, 19 Dec 2018 16:39:00 -0400

Having been led into the mountain by the mysterious living armor, the party discovers a series of traps, puzzles, and ethical dilemmas. That's all the the things these adventurers are the worst at! Chances are this won't go well. Having actually learned some lessons from previous adventurers, Kort and Rath try to be cautious. But Tor is around, and Tor is impulsive, kicking things off with a bang. Kort and Rath try very hard to not to suffer the consequences of that impulsiveness, but that doesn't work out. Someone gets a little mad about it.

It's not all bad for the party though. Tor has a new shiny friend, Rath sees some fun tentacles, and Kort rolls poorly. Which is bad for him, but funny for everyone else. It turns out frustration is a great way to get emotion from these guys! Thankfully, Blag demonstrates his monk training by remaining calm and stoic. Despite having a -1 to his intelligence stat, he also still makes really good puns! And then he goes and does horrible, awful things in combat. Will this be the trial that finally puts our adventurers at each others' throats? Will they be merciful to others at their own expense? It's time for a little group therapy!

Episode 34 - Golden Boy

Wed, 05 Dec 2018 00:00:00 -0400

In the last episode, our adventurers were about to get chomped on by a pack of dinos when a mysterious whistle drew the razor-clawed critters away. That's not ominous at all! The party decided to take a breather in the tree tops they found themselves in after having fled in terror from their imminent disembowelment. Now, with guidance from the spirit of Babushka, they set back out to continue their trek through the jungle.

It quickly becomes apparent that the island does not welcome their presence! With the land itself resisting their progress, will our adventurers be forced back into their leafy sanctuary? What new mysteries will they discover in their explorations? And will they willingly walk into any obvious traps? If they are enticed by something shiny, of course they will! It's time to channel their inner survivor for man, half-elf, tiefling, and dwarf vs. wild!

Episode 33 - Tor’s Magic Rod

Tue, 20 Nov 2018 00:00:00 -0400

Our last episode was a lot of ,"we're going to die", and ,"how's that unconscious guy floating for so long?" Then Kort was all like ,"I'll save everyone with magic." So, now the party has washed up on an island. Which is much more pleasant than drowning. Although, Tor seems a bit distracted. And oddly, his concern doesn't seem to be for his casino, which is now under water.

It appears the mysterious Jade is on this island as well. Is she somehow responsible for stranding our adventurers there? Also, what is the deal with her and Kort? Perhaps he'll spin a tale about his own past deeds for once. As the party pushes deeper into the island, what strange predators will they encounter? And how will Blag horrifically dismember them? It's time to hold on to your butts!

Episode 32 - Swimming Lessons

Wed, 07 Nov 2018 00:00:00 -0400

In our last episode Rath got hit very, very hard. He is down for the count and things are not looking good. In light of these events he has asked that we read the following statement- "I don't like this episode. I don't appreciate the abuse my body receives. I don't get to blast anything or use tentacles to mess with people. Also I've decided cruises are dumb. People pay for these?The food is supposed to be the big draw, and there isn't even a chef! So what if we are slightly responsible for that? I would like to thank my party members for their support through these difficult times. Except Tor. He needs to stop taking his shirt off. It's gross. Please direct any questions to my Attorney, Beaker. Thank you."

How will our adventurers survive the ongoing water elemental assault? Will Tor resist the urge to unleash powerful spells in the area of Rath's body? Will anyone remember that there are passengers on board? It's time to sink or swim!

Episode 31 - C Monster

Wed, 24 Oct 2018 01:00:00 -0300

The nautical murder mystery is complete! Amazing everyone, our adventurers managed to discover the identity of the killer. But just when it looks like they might get to finish this trip in relative peace, another crisis rises. The team finds themselves face to face with one of their recurring foes- math. Really, the biggest lesson in all of this is to stay in school. Otherwise, you might end up fighting for your life on a cruise ship you didn't want to be on. A ship that you converted to a casino. After you fed all the people on board lightly poisoned rats.

Actually that doesn't sound that bad. It would make a hell of a story at their high school reunions. Do they have high school in fantasy world? Kort says he went to Bard school, but who knows if that's true? And Rath was essentially home schooled. Until Derand "dropped out". Also, Blag is young enough to be in elementary school. Come to think of it, Blag should be in school! What kind of terrible adults are taking him on these crazy adventures, keeping him out of school? Oh yeah, the name of this show is really starting to make sense. Time to learn some lessons!

Episode 30 - Death Boat Part 2

Wed, 10 Oct 2018 01:00:00 -0300

There's a killer loose, and for once it's not one of our adventurers! Also, having a body show up is probably terrible for the Tor's casino profits. Our team continues to stumble through their investigation, but surprising no one, they are terrible at this sort of thing. If only there were suspicious people doing suspicious things, this all would be so much easier! It's only a matter of time before one of the party suggests just taking out all the suspects.

Will they discover who is behind the heinous deed? And if so, will that be because the DM decides to spell out the clues very clearly for them? Hopefully he gives them the nudges they need, because if this gets to Death Boat Part 24, the only thing that will be dying will be our subscriber numbers!

Episode 29 - Death Boat

Tue, 25 Sep 2018 01:00:00 -0300

With their passage secured, our adventurers are left to their own devices aboard the ship. Which is generally just a bad idea. Kort enjoys some drinks while Tor suns himself on deck. But just when it seems like the rest of the trip is going to be all cocktails and skimpily clad dwarves, they learn one of the crew members has gone missing.

Despite having no qualifications other than disappearing a few people themselves, our adventurers take it upon themselves to investigate. Blag and Kort search for clues and question witnesses. Meanwhile Rath and Tor take a different approach and sleep on the job. Will Kort resist his urges to steal from the victim of the crime? Will Tor put some clothes back on? Fingers crossed! It's time for some IC NCIS!

Wed, 12 Sep 2018 01:00:00 -0300

Having solved their first batch of tasks with ingenuity and just a touch of poison, our adventures are set to take on their final naval odd jobs. Of course, they'll do so using their unique style of problem solving. Decide for yourself if you should be impressed or appalled with how they utilize boxing, pyramid schemes, and fight clubs to achieve their goals. And here you thought this podcast was about dungeons and dragons!

Episode 27 - No Free Rides

Tue, 28 Aug 2018 01:00:00 -0300

Batten the hatches, get on the mainmast, and tie some knots ye scurvy dogs! It’s time for high seas adventure! After chasing Jade through the Red Halls, our adventurers find themselves on a ship that has set out to sea with Jade nowhere to be found. With their gold left in their bunks, the team is forced to work to pay for their passage.

The crew of the ship is astute enough to not give our adventurers any important tasks, so they are left with a series of odd jobs and personal requests to take care of. In a burst of inspiration, or maybe just laziness, they concoct one of their most ridiculous plans yet.

Avast! Abaft the beam! Anchor's aweigh! All aboard the Intelligence Check Cruise Line! Where we guarantee you might not get food poisoning!

Wed, 15 Aug 2018 01:00:00 -0300

Don’t you just hate it when you travel and get home only to find your place has been trashed by a giant worm monster? Having realized the hard way that Rath should have hired some pest control services, our adventurers got out of that dungeon in a hurry!

After all that fleeing, the party is about to get a visit from an old friend that's going to prompt a lot more cardio. These guys are going to be in great shape after all this! It could be the start to a new exercise fad- Get fit now by running from ravenous monsters, dodging giant spinning blades, climbing ropes and doing bad Mrs. Doubtfire impressions!

Episode 25 - Always Make Sure They Sign the Waiver

Tue, 31 Jul 2018 01:00:00 -0300

Having found Alano, things are a bit tense at the end of Rath's dungeon. What with all the bodies, and Rath being shot by an arrow. Will our adventurers complete their mission to bring Alano back to the Red Halls? Or will they be themselves and make rash decisions?

This situation may just be out of their control however, and things escalate quickly. Tor calls the Thunder, almost. And Kort mostly lands an Airplane! reference. Looks like he picked the wrong week to stop drinking (get it?). Hopefully Rath has more liability waivers around for the serious bodily harm coming their way!

Or is she just trying to get rid of them after hearing how Tor wanted to use the Climodile? The team gets a guided tour of Rath's business. And he gets a pointed lesson about consequences.

I love it when a plan comes together. (A-Team) Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. (Patton) Aye, fight and you may die. Run and you'll live -- at least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom! (Braveheart) Only the dead are without fear. (The Magnificent Seven) At my signal, unleash hell. (Gladiator) Oh, no. You did NOT shoot that green shit at me! (Independence Day)

Episode 22 - The Derand Slayer

Mon, 18 Jun 2018 01:00:00 -0300

Having survived a serious of dastardly traps, our adventurers emerge from the tunnels to find the Red Halls. What was recently an abandoned ruin has been transformed into a city full of people, and apparently the restored headquarters of the Onyx Shields. Kort spies a figure in the distance with a striking similarity to Rath. Could it be Anivari, the sister Rath thought dead?

Their touching reunion is quickly overshadowed by the impending Pearl Dagger attack. The party rallies to defend the city's people, and they consider strategies that have little regard for the city itself. Will they come up with a solid plan? And why would the Onyx Shields let these guys call the shots? Responsibility is hard when there's a Climodile around!

Episode 21 - Climodile

Mon, 04 Jun 2018 01:00:00 -0300

In this episode we attempt to answer some of life's deeper questions. We ponder what lengths we will go to in order to avoid pain. We explore the nature of hunger. We reflect on our greed for magical crap. Is it's allure more powerful than our love of family? You'd think that one would be easy.

We also contemplate our perception of mortality, and what tricks the DM can pull to get around that. Join us on our exploration of self, and our journey of using episode descriptions to make these dummies seem smarter than they really are.

Episode 20 - Spa Talk

Mon, 21 May 2018 00:00:00 -0300

After realizing that Rath's sister could be in mortal danger, the team decides to brave the tunnels in an attempt to reach the Red Halls ahead of the Pearl Daggers. Little do they know that they are about to face a series of dastardly puzzles. Will they spend way too much time on one trap room? Of course they will.

Join our adventurers as they face horrific puns, almost getting their boots wet, and their most baffling foe yet! It's a picture. Yep, just a picture. Nothing evil about it. And yet, it may be the thing that finally breaks them. It's time to test our collective patience!

Episode 19 - The Team Goes Spelunking

Tue, 08 May 2018 01:00:00 -0300

Have you ever explored a cave? This episode is probably a lot like when you did that. Except this has a slumbering death machine, and our adventurers are really bad at things. First they will need to deal with a stupid caravan and a very thoughtfully named mercenary group. It's time to journey to the Red Halls!

We hope you're enjoying the show! Please do us a giant favor and tell a friend or three about it! We don't pay to advertise, and we're terrible at social media so we need your help to spread awareness. Rath has agreed to take you on one of his Dungeon Safaris(TM) to show our appreciation.

Episode 18 - Pitching a Tent with Rath

Sun, 22 Apr 2018 01:00:00 -0300

You could say that things got a little hairy there last episode! But despite the best efforts of jerks and well dressed demons (we're pretending we don't actually know his name), our adventurers prevailed. With the next Emperor named, what will they do next? If only there was a mysterious riddle to figure out! We get to know the next emperor a little better. And Rath shares his backstory. This time, the only lie is telling himself that he's doing a good job with his character voice.

Sun, 08 Apr 2018 01:00:00 -0300

The final challenges for the throne begin! A mysterious riddle is imparted by an old friend. Old like, knew a while ago. But they were also old. Can someone be old age-wise when they're dead? Anyway, when the DM asks you to write down a riddle it's probably important. Will our players' dictation skills be up to the task? Blag drops some devastating insults. And a dastardly villain is revealed; which is mostly surprising in how long it takes our adventurers to figure it out. Get ready for one Hell of a ride!

The heist is on! While Kort, Blag and Tor work out the best way to survive an impending clash with armored horrors, Rath daringly feuds with a bartender. When a room full of mysterious treasures is revealed, will Rath encourage the others to push their luck and risk certain death? Will he find the courage to overcome the peril of a poorly mixed cocktail? What crafty escape plan does Tor have up his sleeve? It's time to steal stuff!

Sun, 11 Feb 2018 00:00:00 -0400

Being stuck with a cursed ring has really lightened Rath's mood. He's just so nice now! He continues to shower the other adventurers with praise as they delve deeper into the cave.

Time to enter the Pit of Darkness.

Episode 10 - The Boys Fight a Box

Mon, 15 Jan 2018 00:00:00 -0400

The notes for this episode description say "Our adventurers engage in deadly battle with a box". That must be a typo. Or maybe a metaphor? Oh wait, it also says "the box has tentacles". Okay, that makes more sense. Get ready for container combat!

The very public appearance of a certain imp last episode encourages Rath to overcome some of his trust issues. We have a brief agricultural interlude with Blag.

Episode 4 - Fast Cash

Sun, 22 Oct 2017 01:00:00 -0300

Romance in the air! Or is that the smell from all the elephants? Let's say both because Rath has an admirer! Blag orders some milk. Kort does some shady fundraising. And Tor, well Tor continues to be the most effective member of the group.

Episode 3 - Fix A Fence

Sun, 22 Oct 2017 00:00:00 -0300

In this episode our Dungeon Master Kyle clearly puts a lot of thought into various shady characters he introduces in the tavern. Will our adventurers promptly ignore and forget about them? Most likely! Will they accomplish their tasks intelligently? Surprisingly they just might! But will that be through their own competence or an absurd number of critical success rolls?

What Is Intelligence Check?

Thu, 18 May 2017 01:00:00 -0300

Intelligence Check is an actual play series that's big on the laughs. It's a light-hearted show, using D&D 5e rules, set in the homebrew world of the Lichstone Empire. We've got dark and mysterious backgrounds, defensive elephants, weird gambling, oddly specific kobold slaughter, and tentacles. Way too many tentacles. When you run out of episodes of The Adventure Zone, Intelligence Check!
