Greetings Adventurers - Dungeons and Dragons 5e Actual Play

Now that our course is set we actually have to figure out how to get to the ding dang Shadowfell. It isn't easy! Plus we need time to catch our breath while in Pelor's Hope. Toby is hard at work on a solution thanks to the aide of the some of the greatest minds in Drunkeros while the rest of the gang spent time with old friends or made new, bitter rivals. The Die is Cast. The Iron is Hot. Let's get ready to enter a horrible dangerous plane of existence that we absolutely shouldn't go to unless all of existence is under assault.  Podcast art by @a_goatfacekilla!

Our new best friend Eckart Dayhammer gives us a brief history of the Circle of Seven and about how lots of things are real bad right now. But, we know now that our quest leads us to Grol a city in the Shadowfell. Since things are bad like, everywhere we enlisted the aide of our former adventurer pals/ scary boat captain to help collect info while we are venture into the dangerous unknown. Hopefully the Shadowfell will be chill and fun but we need to be prepared for when we return. If we return...Podcast art by @sanderdoesart! Want the world to see your fan art?

With things getting Real Bad in this particular heaven we need to move on. Cut and Run. Get Out While the Gettin is Good. You know. Plus, the greater threat is always around the corner and we must meet it head on in order to make the realms a safer place. We must. If we don't then who will? We are heroes. Podcast art by @AndrewStrawder! Want the world to see your fan art? Tweet it with #DrunksAndDoodles or head on over to the forum. Hosted on Acast.

When suspects flee the scene of a crime you gotta throw them into the - Bone Cage. That is how justice is served in a helpful non-lethal way. Plus these two knuckle heads had something to do with the disappearance of a god, so that is a huge no-no in pretty much every realm. But they are very powerful, but will they be powerful enough to destroy the bone cage? Who knows!? The bone cage is vague and loose in game stats so you just kinda gotta wing it. The adventure continues with Skud Derringer (Mike Bachmann), Rowan Grey(Jennifer Cheek), Lahnik "Lahni" Caplain (Nika Howard), Toby Treacletart (Tim Lanning) and your Dungeon Master (Michael DiMauro).

Finding Pelor is extremely important, we can all agree, but so is making sure the orcs don't overrun Elysium. That is a ticking clock with Gruumsh's face all over it. While we are not powerful enough to take on Gruumsh we are powerful enough to find clues to Pelor's wheareabouts. We can talk to people who run Laundry Mats in heaven! We can argue with guards! We are heroes. Sometimes being a hero means kidnapping our favorite meat seller to help with our plans. Sometimes. Podcast art by @Oni_shiri! Want the world to see your fan art?

The mystery of the missing Pelor continues, this time we actually make some progress and find some good clues. Mostly that we have a suspect and it seems like there is a mysterious stranger that knows more than it seems. Also, Toby Takes A Nap!Podcast art by @YourDarlingSon!

Meanwhile in Pelor's Hope a huge problem has befallen the good Queen Ashayara which requires the help of some of her old allies. Something odd must be going on with the strongest entities in the realms since it seems like they are all riled up and ready to fight whatever they can. What can rile up the gods...it is terrifying to think about. Surely it can't be a coincidence, right? Something bananas has to happening in the various hells and abysses and heavens to cause such calamity on the mortal realm. But that is why we have heroes - to stop really bad things from happening. Podcast art by @YourDarlingSon! Want the world to see your fan art?

Turns out one of the more important aspects of Elysium is missing. It is kinda like going to Disneyland and finding out Mickey Mouse was murdered...After weighing our options I guess we are the ones to solve this problem especially since this cursed orb keeps bringing us to terrible places. Sure, all of this is very difficult but if we heroes don't do something then I guess everyone will die? Maybe? I am pretty sure the leaders of hell would not be super chill as rulers. Podcast art by @Oni_shiri! Want the world to see your fan art? Tweet it with #DrunksAndDoodles or head on over to the forum.

Having narrowly avoided the sea of Gruumsh's massive army we now have to deal with those pesky bad bois who are climbing over the wall right in front of us. Sure, enemies are swarming everywhere but we are here and I think we can help this section. And then who knows, maybe we can help the next section too! And then the next. Or we could solve larger problems and avoid this large war...yeah let's do that. Podcast art by @chulllie! Want the world to see your fan art?

Time to go to literal heaven. We are sure that nothing bad will happen in literal heaven. Time to kick back and relax and drink whatever Pelor and his buds drink. Probably some sort of like...wine made out of...grapes. I almost feel bad for how easy this next step in our Orb Mystery will be. Anyways what is that sound and why does it feel like 43 trains are coming our way? Podcast art by zonatedtag341! Want the world to see your fan art?

Hello and welcome into our home. Our home is an actual play Dungeons & Dragons podcast. Cozy, huh?! Listen as we level up to level 17 and prepare our next adventure. Our fun and weird Orb is itching to bring us to a new plane where I gotta assume nothing bad will happen. We are going to literal heaven. Pelor runs a tight ship so I am confident we will be fine.

We recorded this episode live from the Lincoln Theater in Columbus Ohio! We had such a wonderful time in an honest to goodness theater. The staff even helped us with fancy lav mics!! It ruled. Listen as your heroes aide a pal who has lost their stick. What dangers will they face? What magical tricks will be played on the poor players who are definitely smart and good at Dungeons & Dragons?

The statues resonate with destructive power yet our heroes muster all their strength knowing that if they fail then all of the Feywild, and possibly all realms, will fall. As the waters rise so due their personally held fears that they are not strong enough to aid Melora in her time of need. Some other heroes should have handled this. Fighting all these minions of Lolth is way more stressful than brewing potions in the Tower of Grey.Podcast art byDgriffon325! Want the world to see your fan art?

As we draw ever nearer to the sound of battle and the overwhelming, yet hard to place, power emanating from this Fey Castle we know that some truly awful stuff is going to greet us. Just, ten gallons of bad in a 8 gallon jug. Thank the gods that other heroes from the planes seem to be assisting us or else we would turn into adventurer slime.Podcast art byDgriffon325!

Having defeated and befriended those pesky Drow, your heroes now must enter seat of the Fey Court. Sounds of battle can be heard raging throughout the corpse strewn halls but we must press on! Finally, we will learn some answers about what the heck is going on. Well, at least we hope so. Who knows, I guess. Podcast art by @chulllie! Want the world to see your fan art?

What is this? Aludra and the gang are up to some investigations on a snowy mountaintop and with Drunkeros in a tailspin they need all the help they can get. Hopefully the The High Level Executive - Class Drow Supreme Fighting Force doesn't slow down our heroes too much back in the feywild...they have realms to save. Podcast art by @thedogleech!

We knew that getting into the tower was going to be hard but honestly we kinda hoped that whatever was in the lake was going to be the worst of it. We had no idea that a supreme fighting force would get in our way. Luckily, the Tower of Grey is also a Supreme Fighting Force so they better get their pants tied tight because a skill based challenge beat down is coming their way! Podcast art by @Rattenkaefig!

Was the lake sounding the tower always writhing in that menacing way? This really is a shame since we want to travel across the lake but I gotta tell ya I don't look forward to figuring out what the hell is beneath the water. I suppose it could be a school of harmless fish? Oh. Oh no nevermind I saw something poke out that was positively not "fish-like". Today is going to be horrible.Podcast art by @_wrenfro!

The Circle of Seven continues their fight against Orcus and his undead minions. Fortunately, this is the most hardened crew of god-slayers in all the realms so if anyone can bring down the dreaded Orcus it is them. But at what cost...Podcast art by @BrotherToasty!

What do you do when the natural order of the realms falls in to chaos? Good and evil must exist in harmony so when Orus threatened to disrupt that balance the Archmage Bigby sent for the strongest, meanest and most Demon-Lord vanquising-est adventures around - The Circle of Seven. But will their power be enough to slay the Prince of Undeath in his realm?Podcast art by @D_R_White_! Want the world to see your fan art? Tweet it with #DrunksAndDoodles or head on over to the forum.

Due the to busy or sick state of the cast this week we chose to lean into the weird and do another mailbag episode! Thank you to all the folks who wrote in, mainly on twitter, to ask us questions. We could have chatted for 13 hours but we knew we had to save some questions for the future. Podcast art by @BrotherToasty! Want the world to see your fan art?

Getting your biscuits smashed by some rude enemies is enough to make even the strongest and bravest heroes pause for a moment and assess their situation. Unfortunately for our heroes, the longer they wait the longer young Prince Thom Harper remains in his captors grasp. But there sure do seem like a lot of Drow around these parts. And the friend we have met along the way seem to both be avoid the area we are going. This should be fun. Podcast art by @dirtymm86! Want the world to see your fan art?

After escaping the fierce Drow Warriors, our heroes must decide he next plan of attack. They have little time to decide since Thom Harper is still in peril. But...it serves Thom no good if his would be rescuers die in the process. Unfortunately we also do not know what dangers hide within the Astral Plane...it is just so weird. But have no fear for the Tower of Grey shall not be toppled so easily! Podcast art by @WolfishGrin_21! Want the world to see your fan art?

The battle rages on with new foes joining the fray. Will our heroes be able to survive? Probably, they are level 16 and have lots of options so I am not too worried. But, any set back keeps them from rescuing young Thom Harper. The lad needs help and all of us need to band together to find him. Do you know where he is?Podcast art by @sweetfishdream!

Lahni was unable to join us for this session so we used arcane and secret magics to peer through the veil of time to the strange occurrences which happened three weeks ago. We find ourselves in a jail cell in a town located somewhere within the Feywild. We are joined not by heroes, but by something else. Creatures with ill intent in their eyes and cruelty on their tongues. Podcast art by @killurmonkey! Want the world to see your fan art? Tweet it with #DrunksAndDoodles or head on over to the forum.

Looks like some sort of funny business is going on in the Feywild. We don't really want to go to the Fey Lands, especially without a guide...but we have to try to track down Thom Harper! Plus this dang, weird Orb! What is its deal? I kinda hate it. I am sure we won't die in the Feywild since we are strong and all, but what if we are only strong for our realm...oh god I hate this. Podcast art by @rayeliann! Want the world to see your fan art?

Having narrowly escaped the extreme Pyre Problem due to Lahni's incredible speed, our heroes must decide what to do with their new orb. Orb is strange but also, orb is good. What does the orb want us to know? Is it an orb or is it The Orb? Who knows... Oh look, Queen of Pelor's Hope Ashayara Dayne is sending us a message I'll just take a big sip of bean juice out of my "Nothing Else Can Go Wrong Mug" and chat! Podcast art by @killurmonkey!

After meeting our new and good friend, Skud, and defeating his undead master it is time to really dig into what makes this fella tick. Really get into what it means to be Skud. What is that rumbling noise coming from far away? I assume we will have to time chat and that the huge sound coming our way is not a big deal. This seems fair. Podcast art by @Floyd_jpg!

Well this Skud fella is a little odd, what with the undead everywhere...but he seems nice enough. Hopefully we can continue on our quest without any more interruptions. I feel like I had said this before, but I am sure nothing bad will happen. Especially if we open this door that seems to be barred shut. Oh here it goes...Podcast art by @SuperShinyPanda!

Fortunately, that pesky robot was just a test. A fiendish way to make sure the Tower of Grey is operating at peak efficiency. Now, however, we must travel south to discover new lands and powerful new enemies. As always, I am sure everything will go swell. Podcast art by @Coalbee84 ! Want the world to see your fan art?

Today was supposed to be a nice and relaxing day. Maybe drink some tea and practice a spell or three while Rowan does whatever it is she does all day. But, sure, incredibly scary banks and odd clients and rude robots are a fine way to spend a Monday I guess. At least this Lahnik "Lahni" Caplain seems capable. Podcast art by @dekren!

It has been seven years since the Lich, Sinu the Red, was defeated. The lands of Drunkeros have more or less been at peace. Sure, no one has done anything about Pyre, the ancient red dragon who controls Mastwick. And occasionally a goblin tribe will harass trading caravans or some poor mercenaries may find themselves turning to the other side of the law. But, the scars of the past are being healed. Deephome is prospering under Queens Aludra and Jaela's rule. Pelor's Hope has opened trade to the far corners of the realm under Queen Ashayara Dayne's stern, but loving care. The monkey village is still really happy that Bonanas Foster is gone. Podcast art by @killurmonkey! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Thom Harper continues his book report with the help of some of his friends. Unfortunately, Jaela got the flu and couldn't help as much as she wanted. The flu sucks that way. This is an anime-ass-recap episode! We haven't done one of these in forever so we wanted to take a stroll down memory lane as well as refresh our memories.

With no great conflicts to attend to our heroes take a breather and reflect on their time adventuring. The hijinks they have gotten into. The dragons/ dragon affiliated foes that they have fought. All of the hairs that have been tuscled. Truly, it has been a journey and a half.This is an anime-ass-recap episode!

The race is afoot! Team White Spire is going through some tough times but they have managed to keep with the pack and avoid being eliminated/ killed. But, if we are being honest, isn't losing to a bunch of jerks worse than death?

With the lands returning to a somewhat normal state of things the Raw Fury Games are once again being hosted in Drunkeros. Deepholme has the esteemed honor of leading the festivities with their newly married Queen heading the event. The delegation from the White Spire has set their eyes on winning this year so they collected the greatest competitors from across the realms to join their team.

We continue to party and take several trips down memory lane. We are also introduced to the hottest, newest Drunkeros sport. But really, we are all here to celebrate the union of Aludra Wyrmsbane and Jaela, the two greatest gals in this fantastical world. Their wedding gives me hope. It gives me joy. And most importantly, if gives me an excuse to drink a few too many drinks and dance the night away in Deephome.One party is BMed (Bachelorette Master) by Toby and the other is BMed by Steve. As the parties are happening at the same time we will be going back and forth between each party. Please enjoy responsibly. (The episodes were recorded with all of Jaela's party and then all of Aludra's and David spliced them together. We were...much, much drunker in the Aludra party bits since it was an hour or so later.) Podcast art by @theZachNoll! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Quiet. So quiet. After that undead terror, Sinu the Red, uttered but a word Steve fell to the ground using his last ounce of strength to ensure that he did not fall onto his baby which he brought into battle with a beast so strong it is on the cover of both the Dungeon Masters Guide as well as Tomb of Annihilation. Sound escapes him as he is no longer able to hear his two allies scream in unison once they realize what has just happened. Steve is used to death, unfortunately. Why should he be spared its cold grasp just because he has repeatedly cheated the gods of death? A hero deserves more. A hero deserves vengeance.Podcast art by @devinbillyart! Hosted on Acast.

With the Lich finally revealing itself our brave heroes now have the chance to put this evil to rest, murder style! Something makes me think that Liches are really powerful...maybe maintaining an illusion of a whole town for several days including towns people with personalities. Wait...what did we eat? What about that rad new cocktail everyone is talking about...my god.Podcast art by @YourDarlingSon! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Finally, some clues we can use to get closer to the truth of this accursed town! Seriously, why do these simple folk have to be so guilty? I am not saying we are the world's greatest detectives but you have to admit that everyone seems a little...off, right? A place like this is liable to turn a good person into a paranoid wreck. The truth feels like it is just a clue or two away. If we could just catch a small break I am sure everything will come to light. Hopefully Teddy is still ok...Podcast art by @IForgetHisName! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The mystery of this town gets a little deeper but definitely not clearer. It is hard to help but think that everyone in this town is hiding something from us. Surely, they can't all be guilty...regardless of how suspicious each person appears our goals are to look past it and find Teddy. He is important to finding the Lich and finally easing the undead blight upon this land. Is the Mayor in on it? Is the head of the town guard? What about Teddy's family...Everyone is a suspect. Everyone. Podcast art by @YourDarlingSon! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Putting on a magical robe doesn't always transport you to a magical realm of oddities, but when it does, buddy you got yourself an adventure.

Finding the diary of a crazed wizard is a tough thing. Do you read it? Do you read it extra carefully because the wizard may have put strange arcane spells within the dusty pages? You have to read it, of course. There is just too much potential knowledge that you just have to ignore the danger and barrel forward. Libraries and Books are the true dangers of our world, not those pesky dragons or dank dungeons.Podcast art by @YourDarlingSon! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Actually we just fight a monster but maybe fighting a monster is the real Diary of Sinu the Red and I have never made a mistake? If you think about it? Podcast art by @Rattenkaefig! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Crypt of Sinu the Red is one of the top 10 places you just don't go in this world. It may be empty, but various nasties have called that area home over the years so you never really knows what could be in there. Plus, we already know that Denton's boss went in and hasn't come out yet, which is probably bad. But, we will go in anyways. We must save this town! Hosted on Acast.

Having defeated the army of the dead, the gang starts to learn more about this strange, unfortunate town. As things often go, the plight of the town is summed up by one scared girl asking to find her brother. We are heroes. We are the light in the darkness. We will find this child. Probably. Hopefully it doesn't take to long since the zombies will probably come back the next night. Being a hero sucks. Podcast art by @YourDarlingSon! Hosted on Acast.

The horizon quakes with the sound of buzzing flies and the ground hums with impending doom. The Lich must know we are coming for the undead army sent to stop us is as fearsome as it is massive.
