The majesty and horror of Jamusthal unfolds as our heroes proceed deeper into the city. What’s the nightlife like here? The restaurant scene?

Episode 008: A Departure | Pt. 2

Sun, 10 Oct 2021 00:00:00 -0600

Scientific progress goes “boink” and often deals 1d4 bludgeoning damage if you fail the Dex save. Town side quests now complete, the party finishes their shopping trip and sets out from Fort Summerwar for good. But not before setting off fireworks in public and running afoul of the local constabulary. Then, they meet the monster that launched a thousand ships (but Clip-Clip/Scar OTP in this editor's opinion).

What’s in the box? What’s in the box? Oh come on, what’s in the booooooox!? Oh, it’s just an egg. Uh, what skill check do I make to figure out if it’s a MacGuffin? This week, the party receives a history lesson from the DM PC, gets the Main Quest in their journals and susses out a series of Steves at a superior soup shop. And more than one member enters the edgy atheist phase of their mental development, what with all the monsters and abject horror going on.

Sun, 26 Sep 2021 00:00:00 -0600

Literally can’t even with these levels of exhaustion piling up. That’s a commentary on the game state at this point. It is not a producer’s cry for help. They aren’t keeping me chained to anything. There is nothing to fear. Not as long as Vox keeps editing. After hightailing it out of a sticky situation, the party gains yet another temperamental bird and maybe they learn their new companions’ names? Is that a spoiler?
