01/14/22 • 208 min
Descend into Avernus! Wait no, not like that, we just have a train to rob!
Returning from a successful gig, the crew of the Per Aspera wastes no time picking up another job, stealing soul coins from the Nine Hells! Put on your cowboy hats and get ready for a good ole' fashioned train rustle! With stakes and speeds this high, will our intrepid heroes pull off this daring heist? Or will the fires of Hell prove too hot for the Rolling with Difficulty crew!

- Sophia mixed up the Githyanki and the Githzerai, whoops! Better keep those space pirates and totally-not-jedi straight!

Previous Episode

Per Aspera Season 1 Episode 1: "A Matter of the Heart"
Welcome to the Planescape dear viewers, and to the very first episode of Rolling with Difficulty!
On their first (televised) adventure, the crew of the Per Aspera takes on cliches by...starting in a tavern? Ah well, it's much more exciting after that, with questionable collectors recruiting out crew to set sail into the Astral Sea in search of the heart of a dead god. Will our "heroes" prevail and earn their end-of-year bonus? Or will the denizens of the vast and mysterious Planescape make this voyage their last?

Goofs:
- Sophia forgot she had the spell sniper feat and missed a chance to ignore the penalty for partial cover, whoops!
- Austin's dog Travis wanted a taste of the limelight, and would not stop letting his voice be heard while recording...maybe we'll roll him a character next time.
- Sophia called the NPC "Otto" by the character that somewhat inspired him, "Hondo". Don't tell George Lucas.

Go VR-LA Racer, Go! With Gith hot on their trail (and a hold full of loot) the crew of the Per Aspera is speeding across the Astral Sea running for their very lives. With a new friend in tow and still licking their wounds from the train heist in hell, the gang will have to test the limits of their imagination to find a way to lose their pursuers.
One hope of escape? Acheron, the plane of endless war....no way this could backfire...
