Jesters of Middle-earth - Episode 3 - As Fast as a Tree

Comedy troupe Wet Change met their strange Santa-like saviour, Tom Bombadil, who invited them to his home before vanishing in a puff of butterflies. Before heading out, the troupe scoured the crypt for loot and took stock of their fighting experience. Guy knew some taekwondo, Adam knew some karate, Del took a semester of archery, and Tyler found a locket that made him feel a bit safer. Del used her phone’s compass to direct them to the river Withywindle and Bombadil’s house, but when they arrive...

The sketch comedy troupe, Wet Change, was performing at Edinburgh Fringe when suddenly they were engulfed by mist. They emerged from the foggy swirl of leaves onto a forest road. They soon met a friendly and welcoming merchant, who was immediately slain by a terrifying cloaked figure on horseback. Del, Tyler, Adam, and Guy fled through the woods and sought shelter inside a crypt, only to find it was already occupied by a malevolent wight. They fought for their lives until they were rescued by a ...

Jesters of Middle-earth - Episode 1 - Squeaky Pants in the Old Forest

Welcome back to Jesters of-- MIDDLE-EARTH?? It seems that Ryan’s been eaten by an owl, a migratory owl no less, so while we wait for that pesky bird to return with our DM in a few months’ time, Tom McGee will be taking Wet Change back in time to the beginning of their journey. They’ll answer the question of what if—instead of falling into Ravenloft—the troupe fell into an alternate universe, one with less halflings and more hobbits, less bone horses and more Prancing Pony’s, less dark lords and ...

4.16 - Neil Tongue, Esq.

Before moving on to the next realm, New Rogue apologized to Tyler about his lost finger, and Tyler gave him a consoling hug that they both needed. Meanwhile, Shadow Nemesis revealed to DDX that he missed him and wanted him back, but DDX proposed they start again as equals, something the barbarian needed time to consider. Ezra then sent them to the realm of Yah Shee. The troupe heard sounds of revelry coming from a nearby encampment, and after deliberating over how best to approach the camp, Del ...

4.15 - Maybe the Curse is Keeping Secrets

The troupe had a good night’s rest followed by very upsetting morning. Tyler’s cursed ring behaved as expected and he was bitten by a poisonous snake. Del healed him up, and they tried to remove the ring, but it wouldn’t budge, so New Rogue suggested that Tyler should cut off his finger, confident that he could reattach it. Shadow Nemesis bit off the finger and put the ring away, but after many attempted spells of healing, they realized that none of New Rogue’s cleric powers could reattach it. N...

4.14 - Be a Do-er, Not a Do-ee

With one dark lord’s problem solved, the troupe did some introspection. Tyler argued with Ezra that it was reasonable for him to not be doing well, given the circumstances, and that Ezra would have to live with that, Shadow Nemesis redesigned his mind palace and Shadow Master explained to him why DDX couldn’t become a dark lord, Del, Rumpleforeskin, and Werner Herzog had a philosophical discussion about whether the people they’ve met throughout the realms are real people, and New Rogue continued...

4.13 - Victims of Circumstance

The troupe took their chance to solve the Cardinal’s troubles. New Rogue pulled Tom’s body from Shadow Nemesis’s brain-eating grasp, and after appealing to the barbarian’s vanity, they started digging a grave. Del tried to convince Issa and the Cardinal that they could be a great pair, Tyler sensed that Del needed more time and gathered everyone to say some final words about Tom Foolery, Issa and the Cardinal finally struck a bargain, and the Cardinal agreed to remember to vote for Ezra in retur...

4.12 - An Unholy Deal

The troupe came upon the grisly scene of Issa standing over the body of a very dead Tom Foolery. After learning of Issa’s recent murder spree, they realized she might be a good fit for the Cardinal. Del talked the Cardinal through his insecurities and tried to show him the benefits of practicing and taking a slower approach with his victims, Tyler tried to find common ground between Issa and the Cardinal, and Shadow Nemesis looted Tom’s corpse. But as New Rogue was getting answers from the corps...

4.11 - Turn a Murder House into a Murder Home

The troupe was forced to confront some difficult ethical questions. Del shared her own recent experience of loss with the Cardinal and got him fixated on the idea of breaking someone’s heart to cause a new kind of pain, Shadow Nemesis proposed making DDX the dark lord of this realm, but Tyler and New Rogue talked him out of it, New Rogue finally made a sincere apology to Rumpleforeskin about how he’d spoken to them earlier, and Del and Tyler came up with the idea of pairing the Cardinal with som...

4.10 - The Clergy of the Flesh

After wrestling the puzzle pieces from the ineffectual Michaels, Void solved the puzzle! Shadow Nemesis subdued the chains and brightened up the room, but the Cardinal had difficulty speaking with more than one person, so Del remained and everyone else gave them privacy. Once Del realized the Cardinal suffered from panic attacks, she walked him through some grounding exercise, but New Rogue misinterpreted the sounds of deep breathing and rushed in to save Del, causing the Cardinal to retreat onc...

4.09 - Flame On

The Cardinal’s puzzle pieces were kept safely apart by the Michaels while the troupe argued over how best to avoid combat with the dark lord. Shadow Nemesis suggested they distract him to throw him off-script, Tyler recommended they try to give him hope and some reprieve from his torture, New Rogue shared an unrelated movie plot to provide context, and Del got fed up and left to consult with Werner and Rumpleforeskin. They finally agreed to complete the puzzle, let Void hold it, throw the magnet...

4.08 - Void, Michaels. Michaels, Void.

After hearing screams from below, the troupe learned that Tom and Issa’s companions hadn’t survived a fight with some deadly chains. They tried to meet up with Shadow Nemesis, but he found himself locked in a room, confronted with a puzzle he was compelled to solve, and suddenly in a battle with the Cardinal. New Rogue protected their newest allies, and as Del finally broke through the door, they all burst in and the Cardinal disappeared once more into the shadows. Tyler has conjured several Mic...

4.07 - I Made a Puzzle! Help!

Del, New Rogue, and Tyler were welcomed by the gang and coordinated their search of the mansion, while Shadow Nemesis remained invisible and decided to go it alone. The barbarian unintentionally summoned the Cardinal, escaped through a window, and alerted the rest of the troupe. Tyler convinced the gang to search the basement so Wet Change could deal with the dark lord alone, Del spoke with a ghost who had recently been killed by the Cardinal, and New Rogue struggled to decipher cryptic advice f...

4.06 - Fools Rush In

The troupe found themselves outside a dilapidated mansion that supposedly contains the puzzle to summon the cardinal. As they approached, Tyler spotted another group nearby, and they all hid like the heroes they are. New Rogue tried to spy on the group, but his lack of stealth soon revealed his presence, so he jumped out and tried to befriend them. Del and Tyler were also forced to reveal themselves, but Shadow Nemesis stayed hidden and prepared for a fight. Miraculously, New Rogue prevented the...

4.05 - Operation: Kill-A-House

Wet Change somehow managed to survive the Council of Twelve unscathed, despite Tyler accidentally voting for the Cardinal instead of himself and Shadow Nemesis trying to feed the dark lords pizza pockets. They departed for the Cardinal’s realm, and as they travelled, they found they had all gained new powers and abilities. Attempting to learn more about the dark lord they were soon to encounter, Del summoned a ghost of the Cardinal’s previous victim, which was going well until New Rogue accident...

4.04 - The Herald of the Mists

Del suggested they should each vote to free themselves to avoid any suspicion that they were working with the god, Shadow Nemesis managed to store his axe without activating its curse, New Rogue realized he hadn’t had much fun in his short life, so Tyler found some games to play, and Ezra took Del aside to tell her of powers that Lucretia had bequeathed to her in her will. Finally, the other dark lords arrived ...

Del continued to mourn the loss of her girlfriend and patron, Lucretia, New Rogue fell into a restful, deep sleep in the arms of his god, Shadow Nemesis tried but failed to hide his lingering distrust of Ezra, and Tyler was relieved to at last have the opportunity to ask questions of the person responsible for bringing them to Ravenloft. Wet Change has become a band o...

4.02 - The Council of Twelve

The troupe fought the temptation of get pulled into the nightmare loop of the new dark lords. Del continued to live Lucretia’s last moments over and over until DDX and Rumpleforeskin intervened and tried to offer some perspective, New Rogue nearly killed Del in an effort to provide emotional support, and Tyler remained stuck in a shame spiral, convinced that the only way to keep the Agents at bay was to continue to play his part in Lucretia’s demise. Shadow Nemesis and DDX devised an elaborate s...

4.01 - Escaping the Loop

The troupe finally solved the riddle of the realm! New Rogue made a deal for the genie to honour the intention of their wishes and set him free, Shadow Nemesis was delighted when the Prince was finally “sausaged” and executed by Del, and Del was horrified to discover she had caused a cataclysm by killing two dark lords herself. To prevent catastrophe, Tyler was forced to execute Del’s patron and girlfriend, the Succubus Lucretia, only to leave them trapped in the nightmare of Lucretia’s final mo...

3.74 - Cataclysm (Season Finale)

The troupe emerged from their long rest. New Rogue failed to convince the genie that he would free him, and Tyler finally completed his wish, upon which all of his items appeared in his pockets and killed him instantly. After being revivified, Tyler pleaded with them all to forget the genie and let him face the Prince, and unintentionally wished Shadow Nemesis into agreeing. But they realized they couldn’t use their now-un-damageable items and Tyler was permanently legless, so Del suggested she ...

3.73 - The Spirit of the Wish

To the troupe’s surprise and relief, the mists provided, allowing them all to take a full rest before facing the Prince. New Rogue was able to join in the planning instead of meditating alone, Del spoke with Lucretia about wanting to be seen and they imagined a life together in a beautiful mansion in Hell, and Shadow Nemesis worked on drafting unambiguous wishes, one of which would turn the Prince into a human sausage so that Del could execute him easily. Tyler still distrusted the genie, so the...

With five hours to prepare their next move, the troupe tried to figure out if they could wish their way to a solution. New Rogue was dismayed that the genie had twisted their words to cause them harm, Tyler took time to Identify their new gifts from the mists, and Shadow Nemesis discovered that he also had three wishes and continued crafting his wish-letter. When they realized that New Rogue couldn’t remember the genie’s true name, Del spoke with Lucretia, who regretfully could not interfere wit...
