When your busy editing podcasts to make sure that content keeps streaming out to the legions of loyal listeners on the internet but your niece turns 15 and all she asks for is to play some DND with you. You drop everything and put together some DND for that girl's birthday. Naturally I started prepping a game right away based on feedback from Tiffany that they had just been watching the Hercules movie. This first episode is based roughly on the fight with the centaur.

Neim Cave Painting: We fight shadow person. Smash him with axe. Was good fight. Cleff likes bananas, makes me like banana too! All that stands in the way of our feywild adventurers is this shadowy temple guardian. The statues have been destoryed, but there's definitely a trick to the way this guardian fights. Perhaps they can figure it out before he manages to kill everyone's favorite character... Rain the griffin. Once the party gets inside what will they find? What has become of Asharis, Ghost...

It seems our stand-in heroes are reaching the end of their journey. They have made it all the way to the temple atop the pyramid which Asharis, Ghost Slinger and Merlin managed to get trapped in and Awen can see the light of their spirits shining through the planes to her. There's only one problem. There appears to be a guardian and they aren't going to just let the feywild crew just walk in without a fight. There seems to be some trickery going on here as well? How can they fight this ghostly g...

Our feywild friends and their Paladin companion make their way to the Glacial Glade and the town of Skyfall only to find a swirling lake with a glacier at the center and ice closing in all around them. The helpful green Aarakocra that they saved from death in the snow suggests that they row out to the glacier they are so intent to visit in ceremonial canoes. You know what that smells like to me? A SKILL CHALLENGE!

Our heroes build an embankment against the freezing cold and Awen uses a rather unique solution to get the fire started in order to warm up this green bird man whom was slowly freezing in the snow. Once he awakens he expresses concern that the forest is freezing over and it will only get worse if they try to make their way to Skyfall the Aarakocra village at the edge of the lake. Through some rather unorthodox persuasion they convince him to lead them through the snow storm as he can act as thei...

Our Heroes find themselves undisturbed by a ghost, then they find their way closer and closer to something that stinks. I sure hope no one falls into that nasty slimy water. Especially since the path keeps diverging and everyone is getting tired. Merlin kept track how the hidden pathway through the mire progressed so that they might be able to make a quick exit if needed.

Our heroes have followed Raal's magical stone to a village in the Shadowfell and it seems rather quaint, almost nice even. It's a welcome respite from the harsh roads of the shadowfell that they have seen so far, but something's not quite right about the place. Still when you're low on supplies and forced into a plane of shadows any place the sun shines is a good place to rest up, right?

This one is an oddball our normal recording time was plagued by distractions where one of our players kept getting called away from the game. I did as much as I could in editing to try and keep it fun. There's only about 30 minutes of game play but if you like silly accents from a DM who's doing their best then it is definitely worth a listen. Also we've got a cameo from Grandma. Our heroes do manage to travel through the Shadowfell following along to a seemingly unfazed Raal with a magic stone ...
