02/25/25 • 54 min
Action Surge sneaks up on you... here we are again!
This week, we kick things off with a very important reminder—Doug couldn’t fly. Unfortunately, everyone except Doug had completely forgotten that, leading to an unforgettable (and gravity-assisted) trip from the top of The Sanctum to the lake below. When the dice dictate the options, you just have to roll with it... literally.
Ben dives into the philosophy of putting the story first, even when it puts Raidion in serious jeopardy. We also take a moment to reflect on Yilda’s Bond Villain Syndrome—making a dramatic exit before making sure the job was actually finished. Meanwhile, we entertain the absolute chaos that would unfold if Aska was ever truly let loose on Mouse... and, more importantly, on Elowen’s brothers.
Finally, Alex shares more about I’s state of mind as the journey to the Old Dark looms ever closer. How has I’s outlook shifted over time? What’s weighing on him most?

Ep.23 A Leap Into the Unknown
As the storm rages and the rain lashes down, it becomes clear the Newly Dead will find no sanctuary in the Sanctum. To secure their future, they must take a leap of faith into uncharted waters.
Rest, however, is fleeting as unexpected dangers test their resolve and challenge their faith in everything they once believed to be true. Secrets are shared, tempers flare, and those thought lost may be closer than they ever imagined.
Their journey may lead them to the old home of the gods, a place where divine decisions and magic once shaped Reliquiae. But whatever answers they hope to find, they are not the only ones seeking them.
In a world where identity is fragile, me, you, and I must unite to face what lies ahead.
Natural Six are Harry McEntire, Doug Cockle, Ben Starr, Hollie Bennett, Alex Jordan and Aoife Wilson. #NaturalSix #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #actualplay

Ep.24 City of Shadows
The Newly Dead aren’t the only ones in Alveleon, as the shadowy organisation known as The Gloam already lurks in the ruined city’s depths, making their search all the more deadly.
With danger closing in, the party is forced to divide and conquer. Raidion and Dolly must spin a web of charm and deceit to uncover the truth (and make it out alive)—though some secrets are best left unspoken... or in some cases simply never spoken of again. Meanwhile, can Elowen, Kelnys, and I outmanoeuvre the threats and buy them some much-needed time?
The race to The Old Dark has begun—but they’re not the only ones running.
