The Fog Campaign - Episode 4

You didn't think we'd just go to bed without getting into some nefarious nonsense, did you?

Things are looking grim for our fearless Equaler, not to mention a suddenly very squashed Glibbles. But Bael is falling apart, and Kaiju Pishposh is holding it together.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 37

Whoopsie doodle, our fearless leader is trapped inside the minotaur demon Bael and is fighting for control. Meanwhile everyone else is kinda just trying to murder the hell out of Bael. Hopefully that ends well, because this is definitely the last leg of the final battle and it would be a shame to splatter the leader.

So uh... if you banish a dragon to another dimension (another dimension, another dimension) then it stands to reason that there will be no consequences. So we should consider this all done!

Here we go! It's Mordecair's Marauders* against Furlknott the topaz dragon. The setting: an abandoned village called Ferrentown. The crew: well one of them is a dracolich prone to madness now, so that probably won't end well. But other than that pretty cool stuff!

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 31

Welcome to the final confrontation! We could lay down traps to ensnate Furlnott, prepare long-range weaponry, or- hear us out- maybe we will just leave mutatated Pishposh to die and run away. That would be totally normal, right? Glibbles is into it, anyway. For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

The reached the top of the mountain, only to make things weird, then weirder, then seriously wtf did they just do to Pishposh? Now that a possibly much more deadly dragon than Glutt is on the way, it sure would be a bad time for one of the heroes to turn into a puddle of goo!

Ken's roll at the end of the last episode turns out to be even wilder than everyone expected, and the dragon confrontation ends up weirder than anyone could have predicted (except maybe a couple of players who hint at some of it).

Well it's time to tidy up that slightly messy situation we're in. Pishposh just have to free the impossibly trapped Topaz dragon (that Pishposh trapped) and the rest of the crew just has to smash the eggs that they probably need Pishposh's staff to smash.

Pishposh will now make a solo attempt to recruit a gem dragon (nbd) while everyone else lies to Glutt and makes a mad dash for the village.

We're JUUUUUUUST about done tidying up this whole acid river / acidfalls business, with the top of Mount Dooks only a quick trip upwards. As long as this bone naga doesn't hypnotize anyone again, which it is definitely going to try and do, we just may survive. That's even better than "not a TPK!" As usual, Glibbles falls down.

We did it! We got our little kitty friend out of the horrible churning acid river! Although now with a distinct lack of fur Blep is back in action, casting Duplicity and turning the tide of battle.
