Intelligence Check

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.

11/18/20 • 33 min

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. Learn about the inner-workings of their thoughts in dealing with their opponent's wiles. Kayak down the stream that is their consciousness as they come to terms with the situation before them. How will the rest of the party react to this struggle, both in the ring and in the recording studio? Why would they go out of their way to attack banjo fans? Has Palino been standing there the whole time? And what onslaught will finally break one of the combatants? Put on a swimsuit because we're about to dive into some very deep waters!

12/16/20 • 46 min

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

11/04/20 • 51 min

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...
