Greetings Adventurers - Dungeons and Dragons 5e Actual Play

While your brave adventurers are a little on edge, you must admit that the death of a small boy is cause for alarm! Sure, it is possible that we are overreacting. And, well, maybe it is more than a little self-centered to think that every death that happens when we are around is due to … Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Brexleyshire was supposed to be a quick pit stop but something seems strange in this simple town. While we cannot delay we also cannot forget that there is a murderer in our midst. No telling if it has anything to do with the attacked caravan or even Glaine, the Jewel of the East. Something sure … Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I love the feeling that you get when you start a new adventure! As adventurers moving on to the next big quest is pretty much our job. Saving the world one evil cult or murderous monster at a time. But, it is always important to use these transition times to reflect and to grow closer … Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With the Oakback forces extremely defeated it is time to figure out what this Deephome place is going to look like going forward. There are some tough choices to be made, that is for sure. Plus, tensions, naturally are running really high. Wars can do that. Unfortunately, even once this tricky problem is solved there … Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tensions are running pretty high between the new Queen Wyrmsbane and the rebel Oakback forces. These Oakbacks…they are the worst. They think they can make demands of Aludra when they are 1) the reason things are so terrible 2) are utterly defeated on the army front. Some folks are just turds and cannot see the … Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Unfortunately, we already used the title “The Wrongest We Ever Got It” since I think this is technically the wronger we have ever got it. We made a quick and daring decision and it…well…I don’t want to spoil it. Things go from bad to worse as we fight this tank thing and that is all … Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The victory over the Oakback troops is short lived since, well, there is still that tank thing causing mayhem. With our heroes already in pain this dreadnaught will be a tough foe indeed. Will overconfidence be the downfall of all that they have strived to achieve? Will they all just die? Probably not, but listen … Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The battle rages on as our stalwart heroes take on a host of Dwarven and Elemental warriors! While they are doing amazing damage is it enough to best these hearty foes!?! Most likely, but who knows… Honestly, these enemies are punks and I pity them for having to fight. Fools. The adventure continues with Titus … Hosted on Acast.

Bam! Teleported into the middle of a battle. Arrows and magic fly by our heads and kill our new best friends. Their is a loud noise coming from a huge mechanical…thing. Elemental creatures slam the fortifications of Wyrmsbane keep. This sucks so bad. Why did we come back here? Right, gotta save the Buckster. And … Hosted on Acast.

News of a friend in danger reaches our heroes and makes them feel like big idiots. This totally ruins their plan of “making everyone love us” that they so lovingly crafted. Turns out that this world is still full of many dangers. Dangers that exist not just in a city of elves but also a … Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The gang makes a snap decision that…may be a horrible idea. In fact, the extent to how wrong they got it takes the entire episode to sink in. No matter, as adventurers sometimes you must make snap judgments or various decisions that have lasted effects on many peoples lives. That being said [redacted], we are … Hosted on Acast.

While trying to figure out just what the deal is with this worm…village we are attacked by some rude bat things. The mushroom folks just kinda hid, which was rude, but we, as your brave heroes, rose to the occasion and defended the defenseless. Kipper will never die, this is our promise. The adventure continues … Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Oh no! Your adventurers are falling and they can’t get up! Will the gang get eaten by this huge worm creature? Most likely! Will everyone die? Probably, yeah. Basically this worm is taking up a huge amount of their brain horse power. And the teeth are a nightmare to boot. Hopefully you understand that the … Hosted on Acast.

This adventure was recorded live in front of a studio audience. We had a blast doing our show and actually seeing folks react. It was weird. A good weird. Anyways, our adventurers meet an old friend and split the party while trying to continue to survive in the Underdark. The adventure continues with Titus Harper … Hosted on Acast.

Looks like this murderer got himself captured by a drider. What a fool! We have him right were we want him, encased in spider webs. Hopefully capturing this murderer will help clear Jaela’s name and then we can all return to Deephome as heroes. That is the plan anyways… The adventure continues with Titus Harper … Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Underdark is really bad and, if we are being honest, it sucks. Sure, we met one nice pal, but there is a chance this nice pal is bad? Well not bad, that is just the stress of the Underdark talking, but he is definitely intense. Anyways, more things try to kill us but the … Hosted on Acast.

Hot on the trail of Murder Person, the gang meets a new…thing in the Underdark. They probably shouldn’t trust this…thing, but they probably will. Sometimes you gotta listen to whatever new information you have. It is part of being a good detective. Will these brave heroes survive long enough to regret their decision? The adventure … Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Going into the Underdark is usually a bad idea, but you have to make bad and poor choices for your friends sometimes. That is what friendship is all about. While I do feel like 90% of our actions are driven by “my pal needs help, so I guess I will almost get murdered every couple … Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Turns out this bloody murderer is causing much havoc in Deephome. Lying about Jaela. Killing folks in a magical way. Terrible time to visit now that I think about it. No matter, we have work to do and we will catch this monster and bring them to justice. It is the only way to save … Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Well, crap. This whole trip has been one thing after another but this whole Balder being murdered bit takes the cake! Honestly, what are we going to do? We are trapped underground with thousands of angry dwarves with the only exits heavily guarded. Plus, they think Jaela did it! We brought Jaela into their city … Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Bringing Jaela to Deephome was a risk but it most likely will not blow up in our faces. You have to take risks for people sometimes and double that if your saved the world together. Plus, Aludra deserves to see Jaela one last time. Sure, it will make things more complicated, but sometimes you have … Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The gang is finally reaching their destination of Deephome, but are they truly ready to face the sins of their past. It is widely known that Jaela is extremely not invited to Aludra’s wedding which is currently the biggest pickle that needs to be overcome. Maybe Jaela and the rest are not ready to face … Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our main man Jett Razor is up to his neck in debt so things get dicey. Let’s just say we are in a bar and … a certain amount of brawling ensues. Which is nice.

The gang sorted out their stowaway issue so they headed full speed ahead to Calsten to pick up Bucky’s favorite bard – the famous Jett Razor. Things are not perfect and sunny in the port city what with the rumors of an incurable disease floating about.

With the deaths of their friends in the backs of their mind, the group finally gets a chance to chat with this powerful monkey or ape like creature. Sure, we have experienced loss, but maybe, just maybe, this will be a potential new ally that will help us feel whole again. A strong new fighter … Hosted on Acast.

Things ended rather tragically last time we met…but we are not able to properly mourn our fallen. True heroes are able to push past the pain and find the strength within themselves to continue to be heroes. Sure, all we wanted to do is rest. And cry. And maybe just be alone. But when a demon … Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dang. Our friggin beautiful ship is all broke and stranded. Broke like our spirits after we lost a dear crew member.

In this episode we learn a few hard truths about Aludra’s betrothed and are left feeling…somehow worse. Turns out he situation is complicated. Who would have guessed?

Well, the quest has been completed and the world is now a much safer place. Unfortunately, the challenges that our heroes face do not stop on doorstep of that accursed, egg shaped fortress.

We are now delivering to you a beautiful baby mailbagathon!

We have put it off as long as we could but there is not turning back from fate, I guess. All of the other avenues we explored didn’t pan out so it looks like there is no other choice but to swing this hammer to save the world. We four adventurers knew this day was … Hosted on Acast.

This hulking horror seems familiar… but how can this be possible? Sure, we know that this fortress would have a few nightmares stored up its sleeve, but this?! No matter. This is just one more obstacle to overcome on our quest to save the world. Naturally, we will not go easy on this monstrosity. Tum … Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Having cracked the a hole in Fenniken’s Floating Fortress, your adventurers take a deep breath and prepare themselves for the further trials that are surely awaiting them.

After an impressive and rousing speech the army seems as ready as it will ever be for what lies before them. Hundreds of demons blot the sky. A huge menacing Balor directs the demons as they charge ahead. The heroes, atop their flying griffons, wonder just how they came to be in this situation. How … Hosted on Acast.

Now that it definitely seems like there is no turning back, I guess we have to attack the fortress that lies within the abyss that used to be Caer. I don’t think I saw any dancing clubs to distract ourselves or any side quests to go chase. Which is a shame, since that thing looks … Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Well it is finally time. Time to take the fight directly to Fenniken and his weird fortress. We may not be ready, but we must strike while the iron is hot.

Having finally, for real this time, dealt with the remaining bits of the Army of Bahamut the gang sets their sights on the next phase of their plan. With only a little more than two dozen days left before Aludra and Thom’s head explode speed is of the essence. Th only issue is that these … Hosted on Acast.

Having wrapped up the battle with the leader of the army of Bahamut your brave adventurers, who are filled with much satisfaction of an encounter well struck, moves on to meet with our Elven friends.

Lanterns are usually something that are to be ignored. So simple yet so essential to our everyday life. Luckily, they are extremely fun to smash, especially when you have permission. Gruemar the Silver should have had a better plan against the genius minds attacking his camp. Ha, he looked so stupid. Wait, what is that sound? … Hosted on Acast.

Here we are – just a few feet from the from the battle we have been preparing for the last three days. Sure, there may be shiny knights and battle standards of Bahamut, but if you ask me, these are pretenders the great Wyrmking’s ideals. Which is just as fine for us. Means we won’t … Hosted on Acast.

The gang finally reaches the “Army of Bahamut”. Quotes added because rumor has it that these Bahamut-heads are bad people who do not do nice things in the name of their dragon lord. When the devils said they were bad it was tough to believe them since, well, they are devils. But Erathis (!) also … Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After receiving such a shock to our collective systems, we had no choice but to attempt to find our next move. Sure, working with devils is probably bad, but this Bahamut crew also seems not so great.

After a somewhat stressful end to our last session, the gang does what it does best – focusing all of their (remaining) efforts to solve the problem at hand. Sure, things seemed awfully grim, but there has to be some arcane magics or divine assistance that we could harness. What is Geodude up to? That guy … Hosted on Acast.

Maybe family reunions are not supposed to go this way. Maybe, just maybe, there shouldn’t be this strange ringing in your ears and your heart shouldn’t feel like it is in some sort of old, rickety elevator.

After working up a real sweat after that whole Slaad business the gang heads back to Mastwick, not trusting the “return this quest to me” NPC, to make sure Pyre was happy.

Having bested the Slaadi force with… mostly impressive battle tactics the gang got to the task at hand – harvesting those crystals!

Having been slightly derailed on their quest to join the Army of Bahamut, the gang decides to actually listen to the giant, menacing dragon and tracks down some Slaadi.

This episode is a little weird because, well, we have to really struggle with the potential chaos our actions may or may not cause. Normally, we just kinda run with it and favor short term “plans” that most likely will not bite us in the bum down the road. Not so this week as we … Hosted on Acast.

When you make a new dragon based friend it is so important to know their likes and dislikes. What makes them prickly? What makes them sad?
