Action Surge Episode 27

No Alex this week, but we do have champagne courtesy of Dr Kagon, so honestly, who's complaining? If Elowen and Dolly can’t have bottomless brunch, then Hollie and Aoife absolutely will.

Episode 27 gave us lore, chaos, and one very dramatic amphibian moment. A true episode of two halves: story-rich setups and an epic (and slightly froggy) fight that saw the cast go toe to webbed toe with a creature beautifully brought to life by Mark at Crafted Campaigns. Honestly, give them their flowers, the minis stole the scene (as usual).

Ben reflects on how these big battles often give us more than just combat, and this one was no exception. With the portal open and the dust settling, it feels like the end of a season, and knowing our love for a good 13-episode arc, we’re excited to see where we end up!

Despite how seamlessly it all came together, Harry admits this episode had plenty of last-minute changes. Yes, that includes adding the death roll. (Don’t worry, Dolly didn’t go swimming. This time.) We’re all in favour of convincing Harry to release those monster stats on Patreon. It’s what the community deserves.

We also talk about Johnny Chiodini’s incredible contribution to the episode via their Deck of Many Friends card, and how much more comfortable the cast has become in bringing those cards into play. Even if it means we now have two Oxventure members scrapping at our table.

There’s also speculation aplenty as we attempt to piece together what we think we’ve uncovered and what this portal might mean for us as we travel across Reliquiae. But perhaps the best part? Watching Harry finally share the tiniest crumbs of lore he’s been hoarding since session zero.
