S4E1 Schoonarooni

Welcome to a brand new season and brand new story! It's time for our cast to set the stage with a brand new Level 3 crew, one that's getting the hell out of Cloddenheim fast.

Sep 15, 20201 hrSeason 4Ep. 1

Epilogue - Season 3

New heroes will soon have to cope with the world events of Season 3, but first, let's see what happened to the Ice Five after Episode 85...

Sep 13, 20206 minSeason 3Ep. 86

Episode 85 - The Age Of Elves

The time has come for the Ice Five to make their play. Will they trust the elves that showed up at the doorstep of the altar? Will one of the Ice Five themselves attempt to ascend to the mantle of the Tenebrous One? Will everything get set on fire? Better listen soon before you read about what happens on the internet somewhere!

Sep 08, 20201 hr 12 minSeason 3Ep. 85

Episode 84 - The Calm Before The Dad

The Ice Five are have alerted Halcyne's father that they are at an incredibly powerful intersection of mortality and immortality, and the way out just went "pop." Hopefully what about to arrive is friendly! If not, they can probably just set them on fire.

Sep 01, 20201 hr 13 minSeason 3Ep. 84

Episode 83 - To Ascend Or Not To Ascend

The Ice Five have finally made it to the Altar of the Tenebrous One, hoping that a plan would somehow come to mind once they checked everything out real good. Perhaps the squawking little kobold will provide a clue? Perhaps Terry will wander in and become the Tenebrous One? Only time will tell.

Aug 25, 202059 minSeason 3Ep. 83

Episode 82 - Don't Look Down

There's a very small space between a swarming cloud and the sheer mountain-face, but the Ice Five are determined to not let that get in the way of their plan to get to the altar of the Tenebrous One. Even if their plan kind of stops at getting there. All they have to do is climb really high and hope nothing Amarth Amon happens...

Aug 18, 20201 hr 10 minSeason 3Ep. 82

Episode 81 - Freak Peak

A new day is dawning, and the Ice Five have the final ascent up Pandemonium's Fang before them. They've stared at it all campaign on the map, but they imaginations may not have prepared them for what a jerk their Dungeon Master might be when it comes to scaling mountains. Hopefully the party and their respective prides will all survive.

Aug 11, 20201 hr 8 minSeason 3Ep. 81

Episode 80 - Ultraweirdo

The Ice Five are fresh off of slaying a mega-spider feybeast and are heading up the foothills of Pandemonium's Fang, but first they have to contend with one of Dan's trademark super creepy NPCs. Will they kill it, or just hate it?

Aug 04, 20201 hr 9 minSeason 3Ep. 80

Episode 79 - Feywilderness

The Ice Five have escaped to The Feywild, but oh yeah, they've never been here before and everything is a giant creepy glowing monster. Surely this will work out as some kind of harmless shortcut though, right???

Jul 28, 20201 hr 4 minSeason 3Ep. 79

Episode 78 - Melted Sand That Walks

The Ice Five have always been fans of entering mysterious caves, and as cautious as they were, they're still a little stuck. Luckily one amongst them was built with some extra options back at the factory.

Jul 21, 20201 hr 11 minSeason 3Ep. 78

Episode 77 - Halcyne Not Heard

With the dragon fight ramping up, it remains to be Halcyne (cyne what we did there?) whether her gambit with the necklace will pay off. Meanwhile the Ice Five have another task ahead of them- how do they eventually escape this Barrowsteppes Dragon chokepoint/checkpoint in the middle of the road leading to the mountains, and Pandemonium's Fang?

Jul 14, 20201 hr 5 minSeason 3Ep. 77

Episode 76 - Stoned Cleric

The effects of Halcyne's unfortunate dexterity situation are beginning to sink in, and the Ice Five must contend with another vicious (and mutated) dragon from their past.

Jul 07, 20201 hr 16 minSeason 3Ep. 76

Episode 75 - Stepped In It

The Ice Five head into the steppes surrounding Pandemonium's Fang in the hopes of destroying the altar of the Tenebrous One. But it wouldn't be Cloddenheim if there was a clear path between them and the big event, would it? As long as they are careful, and they always are, how could things go wrong?

Jun 30, 20201 hr 5 minSeason 3Ep. 75

Episode 74 - Revelation Station

The Ice Five must decide whether to trust the Violet Fang, trap her outright, set her on fire, or just kinda awkwardly part ways. See if you can guess which they choose!

Jun 23, 202055 minSeason 3Ep. 74

Episode 73 - Frienemy's Frienemies

The Ice Five exit their awkward Violet Fang conversation only to encounter so many passive aggressive NPC's that they long for a monster to kill. Hopefully they'll find some hot loot along the way, as well as a hot lead on the altar of the Tenebrous One.

Jun 16, 20201 hr 13 minSeason 3Ep. 73

Episode 72 - Pirate Pyre

The Ice Five continue their mini-boss killing spree that has them in a showdown with Dratlanna the drow-beholder, and you better believe they've got some fun new moves to try out. Will they survive? Where will they head next? Is Gus toast? Time will hopefully tell!

Jun 09, 20201 hr 1 minSeason 3Ep. 72

Episode 71 - Admiral Matricide

The Ice Five continues their tour of mini-boss bulldozing and sets their eyes on Dargthur's mother. Which of course means lots of roleplaying excellence from Brian, his favorite thing to do ever.

Jun 02, 202058 minSeason 3Ep. 71

Episode 70 - Flayer Betrayer

Time to find out what the Ice Five really stands for by pitting them against the squishy, veiny, eyeball thing they made on accident a few dozen episodes ago. Hope you're ready for a throwdown with lots of psychic damage and some wincing as the surface texture of the monster is described!

May 26, 20201 hr 10 minSeason 3Ep. 70

Episode 69 - Assimilation Expectation

The Ice Five walk towards the Mother Brain, slowly realizing that "The Ice Five" has now expanded into a conglomerate of shady inter-planar horrors and they are about to meet with its leader, whom they accidentally installed. Also, it feels like there's something we should acknowledge… numerically speaking.

May 19, 20201 hr 3 minSeason 3Ep. 69

Episode 68 - Sour Mom

The Ice Five finally approach the head of the boat, and what they find is sight only a Dargthur could love... and he's pretty sour so he probably won't.

May 12, 20201 hr 2 minSeason 3Ep. 68

Episode 67 - Slimy Slayer's Soliloquy

The Ice Five continue to slip around in the slime and complete their showdown with the phantasmal narwhal creatures, with Halcyne's life still in the balance. Strange whispers from the monstrosities confuse them, and they contemplate what it would mean to go deeper below deck. Also, more eyeballs.

May 05, 20201 hr 3 minSeason 3Ep. 67

Episode 66 - Gorey Ghosts

The undead tuskfolk continue to try to skewer the Ice Five and suck their very life forces from them. Hopefully those eyeballs growing out of the floor will somehow turn out to be good guys and lend a helping eyestalk. Right?

Apr 28, 202056 minSeason 3Ep. 66

The Unstable Stable - Part Two

The early first three trials of the stable complete, it's time to descend into a purple portal and go hunting for trayzure! Paul F. Tompkins returns as Mister Evelyn, and we can only hope that he will finally get a chance to use his special animal summoning hat.

Apr 22, 20201 hr 11 min

The Unstable Stable - Part One

In this two-part Danger Room bonus adventure, all our regular cast is here to explore an old stable rumored to contain a treasure, guarded by dark magics. And who should be there to help but the charming Mister Evelyn, portrayed by Paul F. Tompkins! Paul is playing a bard, so you better believe we are going to try and tempt him to sing within the first few minutes of the show.

Apr 22, 20201 hr 4 min

Episode 65 - Whiff of Tusk

Below the deck of a ship Dargthur knew long ago, the Ice Five attempt to clear any lingering nastiness and find more than they bargained for. All of it is familiar somehow, yet more ominous. But don't worry, they're going to keep setting things on fire. Who did you think we were talking about anyway?

Apr 21, 20201 hr 24 minSeason 3Ep. 65

Episode 64 - Upper Decked

Time for some of the Ice Five to sit on the deck of a boat and read a tom full of lore, while the rest of the Ice Five set things on fire. We bet you can guess which characters do which. Plus, oh right, they might have just dissipated the avatar of a fallen evil god... Probably no consequences to that, right?

Apr 14, 20201 hr 4 minSeason 3Ep. 64

Episode 63 - Flayer Season in the Abyss

The Ice Five must take out the Juggernaut that has come to dispatch them, but even if he is defeated there's the matter of scaling the massive drow pirate vessel before them. Oh, are we're continuing to master our remote situation, thanks for bearing with us, nerds.

Apr 07, 202057 minSeason 3Ep. 63

Episode 62 - Ambushery

After hours of attempting to not-so-simply-commandeer a not-so-simple boat at an old familiar dock, the Ice Five find themselves in an inevitable confrontation! Oh, and this episode is our first ever remote recording session! Pardon our dust- next time we'll be employing some new audio techniques, so it's only greener grass from here on out!

Mar 31, 202058 minSeason 3Ep. 62

Episode 61 - Dargthursty

The Ice Five have arrived on the seaside. Their goal is to reconvene with the Mother Brain and pick up a new boat, as Dargthur is keen to get back into Admiral mode. Hopefully they'll find a safe ride and get on board quickly and efficiently!

Mar 24, 20201 hr 2 minSeason 3Ep. 61

Episode 60 - Silverhenny Trap

The Ice Five has their eye on Silverhenny Woods, but will the Violet Fang actually join the party? And wait a minute, Silverhenny Woods, isn't that where Dr. Uid keeps all of his... STUFF? Time to head to the western half of the continent, and see what adventures lie in the snow-kissed forests they almost visited some 55 episodes ago.
