## Biography

### Backstory

*(Fill out if the character has a backstory.)*

### On the podcast

Lisan is a roving trader who meets the adventurers of season five in the woods near Haven, when they start their journey towards New Doladon.

### Retirement

After exiting the 9 hells they discover one of them must stay. Lisan sacrifices himself for his adventuring group in episode 221:Bright Lights.

## Memorable Quotes

*"So tell me Fanel... is this little crush true?"*

**Trivia**

-His name is derived from the *Dune* series. Lisan al Gaib was the Fremen name for the main character, Paul Atreides, that meant “The Voice of the Outer World.” This fits both with Lisan’s role as a diviner as well as Sean’s general love for the series (as shown by the name Irulan also coming from the series).
Episode 113 - Animals of the Corn

## Intro

**Episode description:**
He really did the damn thing

**Opening Quote:**
*"I don't pee in your hot tub."*—Sean

**Player introduction:**

Stephanie who plays Lux - *"Hey guys"*

Lauren who plays Ren - *"What do you call a mountaintop guarded by rogues? A sneak peek!"*

Kyle who plays Colin - *"I wish you would step back from the ledge my friend."*

## Episode Summary

When the party hears Baghead’s laughter they tell the animal children to go hide in the tree house. During the fight, Baghead manages to switch body with Elyron. Luckily the animal children had already told about what Baghead could do. So it doesn’t take the PCs to realize Elyron isn’t controlling his own body. Eventually the PCs defeat Baghead by knocking Elyron unconscious.

After defeating Baghead, the party and the animal children travel to The Cider Forest. When Lux passes the border to the forest, she changes shape. She grows to the size of an average human, her skin and eyes becomes milky white and her hair is stark white, but her clothes stays the same. Minos becomes suspicious about the change, but Lux uses changeling tricks to convince him that nothing has change.

Eventually the party meets The Moonlit King. He is very excited to meet the party. He prepares a magical feast for the PCs and the animal children. After the food is done, The Moonlit King explains that Andrew was a traitor working for the king and then he tells the party to leave the forest. When they try to ask more questions, The Moonlit King just replies, “You should leave the forest now”. Then he disappears.

Uncomfortable with The Moonlit King’s reply and the fey magic, the party hurries out of the forest. To their big surprise, when they passes the edge of the forest they can see Haven. Almost as if they had exited The Lost Woods and not The Cider Woods.

What is even stranger is that the PCs can see themselves inside Haven. Ren notices Andrew walking into Haven and then she hears The Moonlit King saying, “He’s going to kill all of you. You should do something about this.” Without hesitating, Ren shoots an arrow towards Andrew. The arrow passes through a brazier on the wall, igniting it before it kills Andrew.

## Description

Mercy is Torrin's goblin baby daughter. If he fails to take proper care of her, Sehanine punishes him with 5d10 psychic damage. This is why he keeps her close at all times in a handy papoose.

## Biography

### Birth

When the Chosen Five visit Rhayada, Torrin kills a child over a cabbage039. His draconic punishment by Dominic Blackwood is aborted when the celestial messenger of Sehanine intervenes040. Paeris announces that the mysterious egg that Torrin carries038 will hatch a goblin baby, and caring for her is to be Torrin's punishment, not only for the killing, but also for his prejudice against goblins.

### Life

Aside from the Chosen Five, Mercy is the only person from the *Pre-Crystal Era* who remained unaltered when the party stepped into the magical crystals to face Torog. In the penultimate battle of season one, she appears all grown up and as a formidable fighter at her father's side. However, when the party victoriously returns to Irulan, she has reverted to the age of a baby.

Kyle details the rest of Torrin's and Mercy's life in episode 048: the Dragonborn returns to Tchotchkie's in Stebrook and lives out the rest of his days as inkeeper and raises Mercy. He also mentions a tearful goodbye when she is all grown up, and Torrin sends her on her way into the world to make a life of her own.

Episode 192 - Interlude - A Lesson

## Intro

**Episode description:**
Apologies for the delay, and some minor technical challenges with Lauren's mic this week.

**Opening Quote:**
*"Go away, robot!" - Lauren*

**Player introduction:**
Lauren, *"Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Tabletop Champions. My name is Lauren and I am your dungeon master, and with me tonight I have Sean, who is reprising his role of Vrath."*

Sean, *"Cool-cool-tight-tight!"*

Lauren, *"Matt, who are you playing?"*

Matt, *"I'm playing as a character named Salomon."*

Lauren, *"Delightful. And Kyle, who are you playing?"*

Kyle, *"I Hibiscus Tortle. I pick things up. I put them down."*

## Episode Summary

### An interlude in season five

This episode and episode 191 of the Tabletop Champions podcast make up an interlude in the story of season five. The events in this interlude canonically happen immediately before the beginning of episode 193.

### Summary

Irulan has been shrouded in darkness for a few days. In the village of Haven, **Salomon Than** and **Hibiscus Tortle** have missed their shift in the Havenguard. Now the captain of the guard, **Riland**, and Vrath have decided to teach them a lesson about duty.

**Salomon** and **Hibiscus** are charged with a potentially deadly quest: to fetch three ingredients which are necessary to brew a medicine for Tode, the mushroom dragon, who lies ill. Vrath will both oversee and advise them.

In truth, the quest is a sham and a joke at the expense of the careless guardspeople. Tode is not really ill, and Vrath does not care about the ingredients. Once she has informed the poor duo of this and reiterated that they should not let the guard down, they allowed to return to Haven.

While Salomon and Hibiscus still discuss the merit of the lesson, they suddenly hear a loud, crackling boom, from somewhere in the forest. Vrath understands the sound came from Tode's lair, and immediately teleports everybody to the source of the boom.

They find Tode's home destroyed by a massive explosion. The surrounding forest is burning, and the mushroom dragon is nowhere in sight. A moment later, they can hear the sound of drums approaching Haven in the distance. Vrath leads the group back to Haven, and they find it surrounded by a large host of foreign troops, and a massive creature setting up a catapult for an assault on the settlement.

**Lauren**: And Kyle who plays Irpaks.
**Kyle (in Irpaks' voice)**: Buh?

## Episode Summary

The party has just appeared on the battlefield depicted in the diorama from last episode. They engage the demon army; Abutton ineffectively releases a catapult, Irpaks sets off psychic explosions and mimics the humans' leader to give commands, and Fanel uses *searing sunburst*. Abutton shoots the demon army's leader, a balor, which turns invisible. Raquel shoots one of a pair of ogre zombies pushing a battering ram to the gate, and Throden casts *spike growth* to hamper the other before Abutton shoots it. They quickly rout the body of the army, leaving only the invisible balor.

Irpaks, who still has *Truesight*, sees the balor as he approaches. Irpaks hits him with *Feeblemind*, making him visible, and the rest of the party and the human army attack. They defeat the balor, which explodes, and then the party finds themselves back in the star room. The diorama disappears, replaced by a circular piece of white glass.

## Episode Summary

Ren is looking into the blade of the Oculous, and she sees the process of the Oculous being made. She tells the rest of the party how the Oculous was forged. After hearing the story, the party agrees that they need to get it reforged in some way. They realize that they have to find the other part of the Oculous in *The Nine Hells*.

The PC's along with the freed prisoners follows Tode through the fey forest, back to Haven.

When they get back to Haven, the party can see that Haven is prospering and in good condition. Before Tode leaves, Ren asks him if he knows how to get to *The Nine Hells*. Tode tells that the only thing he knows, is that there used to be portal which lead to the shadow realm and from there to other realms. However, those portals haven't existed for a long time. Elyron asks Travers if he knows how to get to *The Nine Hells*, but he doesn't either. But he tells that Alenia used to go to *The Nine Hells* as her safe space.

The group decides to talk to Shelia, to hear if she can help with anything. Before they enter Haven, Colin insists that Elyron can't enter Haven while he's wearing *Travers*. Instead Colin offers to wait outside Haven along with Elyron.

Minos, Lux and Ren enters Haven to go talk with Shelia. Shelia and the party catch each other up on what's been going on since the party left (The Queen has stepped up her efforts to send sullied to Blackrock). Shelia can't help the party get to *The Nine Hells*, but she tells that Silo will be back the next morning.

Outside Haven, Elyron is scribbling math in the dirt, trying to figure out how to get to *The Nine Hells*. Suddenly, Elyron and Colin hear somebody approaching them from the forest. When Elyron peeks through the forest, he sees two small statured figures, clad in armour with raised axes. Immediately, on of the creatures jumps at Elyron, asking "Where's the rabbit?". During the fight, Elyron uses *Travers* powers to cast *Finger of Death* on one of the Duergars, turning it into a zombie. The battle is intense, but in the end both Elyron and Colin are alive.

Episode 166 - 1-757-5CHAMPS

## Intro

**Episode description:**
I don't know why we did this, but the phone number does work.

I promise.

**Opening Quote:**
Matt: Stop recording Craig.

**Player introduction:**
Sean: Hello and welcome to another episode of the tabletop champions podcast, I'm Sean your dungeon master and with me tonight we have Kyle who plays Cam...

Kyle (in Craig voice): Howdyyy.

Sean: Matt who plays Cyrus...

Matt: Howdyyy.

Sean: Stephanie who plays Boone...

Stephanie (in Boone's voice): Now recording.

Sean: Lauren who plays Dagna...

Lauren: I read that Aasimars had a very positive blood, but it might have been a typo.

Sean: An... wait what?

Lauren: Awwww, never mind.

Sean: And Ben - Ben who plays Kallas.

Ben (in Kallas' voice): Uh, greetings.

## Episode Summary

* The episode opens with Cyrus being yanked down the smoke-filled passageway by a giant spider. It's a challenging fight, but the party defeats the spiders and loot their former victims. Cam claims a shitty, non-cursed dagger.
* They come to a room with an acid waterfall flowing into a pool with an island in the center. A set of leather armor is suspended from a rope above the island. Boone and Dagna fly on the carpet and dodge jets of acid to inspect the armor, which turns out to be a reward from Grifto, and is piercing resistant. Kallas claims it and they walk around the pool of acid to continue.
* They pass a chain hanging down a shaft and find a face with an open mouth large enough to climb into, which Cyrus explores. It is absolutely dark and leads nowhere, and when he exits, he discovers that his most treasured possession, his mother's necklace, has ceased to exist.
* They return to the shaft and Dagna sends a mage hand down with a torch, revealing spikes at the bottom. The shaft is too narrow for the carpet, so they climb down the chain. Kallas and Boone climb down first, and Grifto causes the chain to break from its ceiling anchor when they are halfway down. Dagna catches it and then Cyrus summons his goat, breaking off its sword horn to use as an anchor. The rest of the party climbs down, and the people following them pull the sword out, hampering their own progress.
* The party goes through a doorway in the form of a giant skull to enter a room with an unstable log bridge across rushing water. They use the carpet instead, and Cyrus and Cam dislodge the log to slow down their pursuers. The episode ends with them entering a room with skeleton and piano on a plinth.

## Memorable Quotes

Sean: Cyrus tries to move it, but then Cam's like "That's not the log, this is the log, that's a rock."

## Trivia

* The party rolled absolutely terribly during most of the spider fight, but then Boone rolled a crit with max damage, adding divine smite to do a total of 52 damage to her spider.
* If Dagna had gone into the dark tunnel, Sean would have made her forget her clan's song.
* Cyrus' first roll to move the log was a nat 1.
* The episode title and description refer to the phone line Kyle set up to receive listeners' voicemails and texts.
Haven

Haven as it appears on the show's map since season three

Haven in season seven

## Overview

***Haven*** is a city located in southern Irulan, near the Lost Woods. Its closest neighbor to the east is New Doladon.

Since the city has been introduced in season three it has become a very important location, including in season five and seven. Many player characters call Haven their home.

## Characters

Many player characters and NPCs are at home in Haven:

### Player Characters

* Colin Tinble

### NPCs

* Vrath

## History

### In Season 3

In Haven both new and old races are welcome. It is a safehold for everybody who is hurt by war and persecution.

Haven is surrounded by palisade walls, which protect the town against the different kinds of attacks they have experienced. Inside the walls, there is a few buildings, a few ramshackle homesteads and in the southern part of the there is still tents. Haven is governed by a small council of four that was chosen by the people of Haven. The members include Shelia, Roth Halgren, Gauldrin Valstag and Myrta Azeal.

One of the building in Haven is an orphanage founded by Colin, Minos, Ren, Alenia and Elyron. Besides housing children, the orphanage also function as their base.

#### Founding

Haven was founded as a town by Colin, Minos, Ren, Alenia and Elyron. It was founded as a result of all the refugees created by the Shock. When the PCs first met in the place that would become Haven, it was kind of like a tent city camp. The PCs decided to create a more permanent solution, forming a township called Haven. The players helped forming social structures. After the city's structure was established the players decided to step down from the running of the town. Instead they founded the Havenguard, who is protecting the city.

## Episode Summary

* The episode opens with someone delivering a contract to Tinker Gildrop. It says that Asmodeus owns his soul, that his extension simulacra is dead so he can now freely travel between Irulan and Naluri, and that he must stop the party and another group in Irulan from continuing their current path.
* After Cyrus steps off a cliff to reach the Cerise Sanctuary, the party sees him fall to the ground and die. They then see his body eaten by wolves, and then obliterated by a meteor. Then trolls come and get the chunks of meat that were left and eat them. Cam discerns it's an illusion. He messages Cyrus, who says he hasn't been attacked, so he jumps off. He appears to be broken on rocks and then impaled on a spike. Kallas jumps off next - his wings fail, and he's eaten by a black dragon. Boone prays, and hears "Conquer fear." Boone tells Dagna to trust her, and they jump off together.
* As each party member jumped off, they found themselves cradled in the air, then set down in a red stone hallway. In a language Boone doesn't know but can understand, words above an archway read, "Only those who conquer fear will be found worthy." At the end of the hallway is a circular chamber with three doorways and a dais with a circular wall of fire. Boone approaches the wall of fire and takes damage. On the dais stairs, written in celestial, is "Piety is the irrevocable ward against fear." The image of a winged pearlescent serpent appears on the wall.
* There are carvings above each doorway: a bed, a tree, and a sword and shield. They go into the sword and shield room and find a gauntlet of scythes, pillars, and spikes. Dagna figures out how to get through and guides the others. In the next room they fight a gnoll, and Boone loots a +2 mace. After the fight they find a chest that contains a vial that looks like it's one third of a cylinder, with a red potion.

## Trivia

* In the opening scene, Tinker Gildrop is played by Jason, credited at the end of the episode.
* The dungeon was designed by Jess on the Tabletop Champions Discord server, also credited at the end of the episode.

## Episode Summary

* Cam agrees to deliver the letter with Dagna. Boone promises to go with him, then remembers her promise to take Cyrus to Jildos. She discusses it with Cam, and they decide to do the letter first. Trebeck and Dagna do a goodbye duet, and he gifts her his fiddle.The party goes to Dagna's office to set up the cabin.
* Cyrus paints Brenna, and feels a comforting presence. Letting it flow through him, he paints a beautiful portrait of Brenna transforming into a celestial. He signs it with the words, "I'm still with you. Fight it." Of his own volition, Cyrus writes the quote "This is not a goodbye, my dear friend. This is a thank you." Again involuntarily, he writes below that, "We can still save her." The writing is in celestial, which Cyrus can now understand. After a bit, Boone can understand it too, and hears a voice say, "Trust him. He will save you." Boone questions Cyrus about his eye again, and he says that he was in battle with his brothers against some brigands, he was knocked out by a fireball, and when he woke up, he was the last one standing, and had the weird eye. Boone says his story doesn't make sense, and that she doesn't trust him, but as far as she can tell he's being honest. They strike a deal that Boone will believe him and try to help him, but he must not lie to her or cross her.
* Dagna is visited by Corvino, who says he got a wish and he used it to bring her family back, because he loves her, even knowing she will never love him back.
* The episode ends with Cam dreaming, standing on a hill.

### Stephanie's recap

Stephanie: So last week, started out the episode by finding out that Alenia has been betraying and… or I guess she basically betrayed her entire party. She basically the worst and has been following them for 10 years.

Sean: She has her plans that Stephanie is not aware of.

Stephanie: Sure. That’s a real thing. I have no idea; Alenia is now Sean’s character. Then we were attacked by a demon and a dragon and a ton of undead. We battled them for a very long time. Introduced my new character Lux to the team. We all were knocked unconscious and when we woke up, we were with the demon and has abandoned us on what we think is a beach, maybe deserted island of a sort.

Sean: One important point of note you forgot: Tode was in a battle above Haven, died, fell to the ground in the Haven courtyard, as a dead sweet, sweet mushroom dragon. But one important point of note, that you guys notices is that mushrooms begin to sprout around him.

### Recap by Ben

"So last time after seeing the aftermath of the battle of Stebrook, it looked like the warmages had won the battle. And we all split up to go and figure out who was going to actually die. They decided to, well, The Raven Queen told us that we should take a portal from Stebrook into Avisac. Well, from Stebrook into the shadow plane and then into Avisac.

Let’s see, Eutax now has The Oculous, cause he convinced D'Nias that he’s the one who’s supposed to die not her. Aramel was planning on stealing it, so now he has to steal it from Eutax and it’s attached to Eutax’ arm. So that’s should be interesting.

Everyone saw dead people once we went to the shadow plane. D'Nias saw her mother and her gnomish family, Aramel saw his dead crew members, and Eutax saw Eutax, and then Skrag and Lena saw Randel. And they convinced Lena not to go and fight in the battle. And then we went up to the portal. Eutax opened it with The Oculous and there were some guys on the other side.

## Episode

### Epilogue

The Oculous pierce the vail, just as the remaining adventures were warped out to take their seats at the throne of the gods. A brilliant white light scattered across the landscape in a shockwave that shook the mortal plane to its very core. In its wake, the false king of Avisac and the remaining fallen gods crumbled into heaps of sand blowing in the wind, coating the area in an unforgiving desert.

Irulan itself was changed. The turmoil brought many earthquakes and reformed the land itself. Whole landmasses sunk into the sea and new land arose from the ocean depths creating a new world. As the magical energy wove itself once again through Irulan, great change was afoot. Certain animals once content to ??? their life away hunting and gathering, gained new sentience. These creatures gained the ability to speak, think for themselves and reason. Certain areas of Irulan also had great disturbances, many sensitive to the magical nature of The Weave were changed. New races were formed and Irulan were left to deal with its new form, for better or worse.

Aramel, D’Nias and Skrag now oversee the happening in the mortal realm. Hesitant to interfere too much in the affairs of mortals, they figured thing out for themselves. And in wake of this cacophony and destruction they were eager to how the remaining citizens of Irulan found their way in this new world. And in the end of all of this, you see Eutax standing in a small cave, cleaning plates and cooking dinner in some long forgotten land.
