Adventures In Erylia

SUMMARY

Our group of adventurers, along with their small contingency of Dwarven Blackguard, have made it to the edge of the forest, near where they had entered previously in the search for Grimfang. They awake on a hazy day and prepare themselves for the trek and battle ahead. Though they run into little trouble along the way, they reach the camp and hear the sounds of gnolls milling about. A quick scout from the top of tree reveals Grimfang himself for the first time, a gnoll larger than any others with a skeletal visage, wielding a weapon none have seen before. After some brief planning for how to attack the camp, action starts.

SHOUT OUTS

This episode doesn’t have any particular shout outs in it, however I wanted to take a moment to give a shout out to some of the sources for the sound effects in this episode. While we do use some of the sound effects offered by BattleBards, I have spent some money over the last few months to expand our catalog of sound effects. Some of these have come from recent Humble Bundles, which was where I got my start in expanding this catalog. To further expand it, I have also picked up some sound effects packs from ASoundEffect. If you would like to explore the world of sound effects for your own endeavors, here is a list of artists used to get you started: Audio Alchemist, Epic Stock Media, Fusehive, Gamemaster Audio, Evil Mind, Sound Spark.

SUMMARY

Our party of Adventurers travels along the lift system from the small village of Staren up to the entrance of the great dwarven city of Starengeld. During this journey, we take a moment to peer into the minds of the individual party members and see how they feel about their current quest.

As they arrive to the top of the lift system, they realize that they haven’t come across any living creatures the whole way, so far they have only seen golems. Slightly worried, they make their way down a tunnel and into the mountain. As they reach the end of the tunnel, they are relieved to hear the sounds of a city located within a massive cavern. As they had been told about in Staren, they find a small tavern called Lift’s End, where they stop to rest before heading into the city proper.

They eat their fill and have a few drinks at the tavern. They take the opportunity to learn a little bit more about both the city across the way, and about the legend of Grimfang the Gnoll. Thurin, the owner of Lift’s End takes a few of them out to see the city, located on a platform, held up by massive pillars in the middle of the open cavern. Here, they learn that the city of Starengeld has many tiers, with thousands of dwarves living and working below where they are staying.

As the night draws to a close, the party retires, and Ariel has a visit from Cossain, her Patron Angel. In this dream, Cossain gives Ariel some more reassurance on her path, but also shows her a vision of a potential future. A future in which Kenina wields Doitean’s Axe for evil, atop a massive red dragon.

SHOUT OUTS

Wander Quest – A Fifth Edition actual play podcast, like us, that is put out by Encounter Roleplay. The podcast starts with a few introductory episodes to help you get to know the characters. This has quickly become one of Christa’s favorite podcasts. She loves the story, the roleplay, the characters, and even some of the NPC’s.

Ballad of the Seven Dice – A Fifth Edition actual play with a very interesting premise to their story. The game itself is set in The Forgotten Realms, the main cannon setting for 5E. However, all of the characters from their own, different realms, and some even seem to come from entirely different times. This story leans on the darker side, and some of the sound effects and descriptions will make you squirm.

SUMMARY

The whole party is shaken after Ariel was attacked by the shade in her sleep. Realizing that a new threat seems to be after them and the ship is not as safe as they expected it to be, they chose to set up watches for the rest of the journey. Ariel calls every for a meeting and tells them that she thinks it is best if she stays in the room with The Spear in case something happens again. Kenina takes this opportunity to tell the party about her recent dream about Doitean and prods the rest of the party to share any strange dreams that they may be having.

SHOUT OUTS

Daniel Lee – We have commissioned our first NPC Portrait from Daniel Lee. This is the same artist that we have been commissioning artifacts from but we have decided to pivot over to some character art. Our first piece was Biri Yarjerit, the leader of The Mages. You can find her art on our art page for Daniel.

Anna Mae – We are currently in the process of having our cover art redone to give it a fresh coat of paint and make it fit in a little bit more with the theme the show has taken.

Redemption Podcast – Redemption is an Actual Play Podcast set in the Star Wars universe that is played using the Star Wars roleplaying system by Fantasy Flight Games. The story takes place starting near the beginning of the clone wars but carves its own path following them members of the crew. The show is very roleplay heavy and one of the ones I look forward to the most.

Last Stand...

Arc 2 of the Mieveht Story has wrapped up, that means it is time for our Nightwatch. The Nightwatch is a special episode where the whole cast gets together to have a meta discussion about the previous campaign arc. This gives them the chance to respond to how certain events went as well as ask questions about why the DM made certain choices, what things they missed along the way, and how things could have gone differently.

SUMMARY

Having given themselves over to a group of bandits who have claimed the area they are trying to get through, the party has a meeting with the bandit leader, a full blooded orc named Red Tusk. Red Tusk gives them the option of bartering for their lives. He makes little comment as the members of the party give up some weapons and coin, except when one member tries to get ahead by claiming the others are giving fake coins. After giving the party a few chances to add to their bounty, without any hint if they are close enough, he reveals that their lives were worth 300 gold to him and let’s them be escorted away from the Red Band’s Lair.

Tough it might be expected that the party is home free now, one of them decides to sling a last minute insult at their escort, creating more conflict. Though they manage to work things out enough to leave, there is unfinished business that must be attended to in the future. However, they have finally reached their destination.

We also have a promo from The Daily Tavern this episode. The Daily Tavern is a great show that is set up as a news show for the fantasy city of Shatterpoint. Listen to this to keep up to date on what’s going on within Shatterpoint.

– A bit of a note regarding this show. Unfortunately in the time since I got this promo to using it in the show, the show seems to have faded out. I’m pretty sad about this and hope that Arthur does return with more episodes. If you give it a listen because of this, reach out and let him know!
