Episode 19 - Sibling Rivalry

This week your adventurers are faced with a brand new set of un-friendly faces. When a potential new friend crosses their path, things turn ugly really fast. The inhabitants of this crazy world really hate our heroes. It is almost like everything revolves around them while catastrophe follows in their wake.

## **Story**

With their awesome new intro music, our (un)fortunate group is starting from where they left off, running away from the guards of Caer after setting the dastardly dangerous dog killer Zantac's shop on fire! Time is running out for both the outstanding debt with 22 days left, and the time to steal Blood Drinker, the king of Caer's almighty sword, has a deadline of 25 days.

All of the loyal slaves are still around when the group goes to their ship to sleep. After sleeping they all level up to level 4! Starting with Aludra the Dwarf, she gets a feat called *Toughness*, she gets +5 hit points (For a total of 57 HP). Tum "Darkblade" Thumble gets *Nimble Dodge*, a feat that gives *Second Chance* a -5 penalty to the enemy's roll.

The party is heading up to see Trant Thumble when they are stopped by a mismatched group of people in the street. They introduce themselves as Tum's brothers and sisters and tell him they were sent to fetch him. The party agrees to go with them, but the Thumbles pick a fight with them anyways on very loose grounds.

Despite the Thumbles being much higher levels than the party, they hold their own pretty well until they are finally defeated but not killed.

## Episode Synopsis

This time on Cthulhu & Friends...

Xander is unable to stay asleep, most likely from the day’s drinking and drama. He heads to a gas station for some sleeping medication. On the way back he hears someone struggling in an alleyway. Upon investigation he and finds a creature formed from a pulsing mass of eyes and tentacles. Xander loses his mind and runs away. However, the creature manages to land a single attack which nearly kills Xander.

After he makes it back, Xander is rushed to a hospital. The party is able to figure out the creature is a Shoggoth, and the information is relayed to the hospital staff. The hospital is locked down while the authorities hunt the monster. Xander is stabilized, and a few days later the group leaves.

Concerned about the Shoggoth attack the investigators discuss what they should do next. They decide to find someone to decipher the Necronomicon. Anya makes a few phone calls and is able to find an old colleague who still studies the occult in the Boston area. Anya was also able to secure safe passage to her colleague through the Mason Corporation. After finding what they needed, Xander headed to the bank to check his account. It had been closed, but there was note containing the address and phone number of his brother. Xander decided to call. His brother, Simon, answered the phone and was shocked to hear Xander’s voice, and that’s where we left our investigators.

When he does, he spots Xander right away and tells him that his friend is being treated right now. He is unable to leave due to his ignition being cut and he calls for back up.

Shortly thereafter, they spot the person they were seeking in the warehouse: Greta. They follow her to her hotel. She lets Jack up the elevator and removes the bullet from his arm. Xander follows up the stairs and is greeted at a swanky party with well known debutantes, politicians and other influential people.

Anya, after leaving the hospital, meets up with Erik. They decide to team up to track Xander and Jack down. Upon arriving at the hotel they too are let up to the 13th floor where they emerge when someone walks up saying there's going to be a sacrifice.

Anya finally professes that she is pregnant. Xander, unfortunately, does not believe her. Afterwards, Xander and Erik leave to drown Xander's sorrows in a vat of alcohol. While they are away at the bar, Anya goes to a hospital for another check up. After finding out that she has twins, she also procures a note from the doctor saying she is in fact pregnant.

Anya slams the door in Xander's face.

Episode 42 - Mordenkrad Time

Well, we found Ros but we also found a group of fearsome thugs. One of which was wielding a giant Mordenkrad that really threatened Harper’s good looks. Who knows, maybe we can talk our way out of this battle? A hero can dream, right?

## **Story**

The party is fighting Rugul Thumble in order to save Ros and let's just say it doesn't go so well for them. Rugul's Mordenkrad is a fearsome weapon, dealing dozens of damage to Thom the Dragonborn almost right out of the gate. Aludra fairs a little better but on the whole the battle looks pretty bleak. When all looks lost Ros reveals that she's actually a pretty bitchin rogue who can dish out the damage herself. She frees herself and heals Thom, the proceeds to wreak havok on the extra thugs while Aludra and Harper take down Rugal. In particular, she stabs the griffon in the throat while making unbreaking eye contact with Thom. It's the most conflicted and aroused he's ever been.

The party stares at the robot. The visor opens showing it to be a female in armor.

After stumbling through introductions Steve goes to check on Judy. However, Steve sees a strange creature pushing out of Judy, and he coils back in horror. The woman in armor attacks the creature killing it. Frank finally asks what to call her, and she identifies herself as 42.

Steve laments that he needs to get his boys, so he calls his wife’s parent’s house. Steve’s father-in-law tells him that the boys are at St. Paxton Presbyterian Church. When the gentlemen rush out of the office they see a car driving up the road through a river of cockroaches. Steve greets the woman driving, named Evee. Steve asks for a ride to the church, and Evee agrees. The group drives off leaving 42 behind. They see many cars parked around the church, as they get near. When they rush inside they see a man light a match revealing Frank’s body, yet a stranger’s voice comes from it. He introduces himself as Matthew.

## Episode Synopsis

This time on Cthulhu and friends…

Cameron stops the bus after seeing a familiar Saint Bernard. Eddie, Jack, and Tess approach the dog. Clementine happily moves towards the group, but then immediately faints. Jack and Tess take Clem inside, while the party heads out.

On the road, Lily becomes worried about Clem being in Jack’s care. She convinces the group to return to Tess’s house. After checking on Clementine, Lily sees that they unable to take care of her on the road. Nearly at the destination, Officer 42 tells Cameron to halt the bus at a sign before Innsmouth. Looking around for a spot to hide the bus, the group spots a large cave.

Eddie scouts the cave and finds a large statue and a strange altar inside. Getting a closer look, Eddie sees that the statue looks just like him. A man steps out of the darkness and greets Eddie. He identifies himself as Marco. Once he recognizes Eddie, he seems surprised. Marco suddenly becomes frightened and demands that Eddie stay away from him. The group approaches Marco, and the situation becomes tense after Lily touches the altar. Marco casts some sort of spell on Lily which abruptly ends after 42 puts a bullet through his head. The group searches the cave and finds 42’s armor, and some strange jars. Eddie works on the armor to remove Mary’s override functions.

While waiting, Lily pours over every inch of the altar and discovers a hidden compartment. Within it there is a small box with a pipe and powder. After puffing out some powder, Lily notices a large book at the base of the statue. Lily identifies the book as the Necronomicon, and begins excitedly reading from the book. Suddenly the ground shakes, and the cave starts collapsing.

Episode 18 - Canine Justice

We may have gotten ourselves into a pickle after ransacking Zantac’s emporium. Our personal flavor of justice seems to have angered the elderly shop keeper. Someone had to put a stop to this horrible dog murderer and if that means acquiring some magical items in the process then that is just the universe rewarding our good deed. Hopefully we are not also rewarded with a free trip to jail.

## **Story**

The party avenges all the dead puppies by fighting Zantac and his golems. Junpei falls out of the Astral Sea missing one hand and joins the fight. However the elderly man is no match for them and they destroy him handily (or one handily in Junpei's case).

Episode 36 - No Rest for the Wicked

Hello and welcome back to another excited episode of Drunks and Dragons. This sure has been a dragon filled bit of episodes hasn’t it? It really fits within our theme. There shouldn’t be a dragon or dragon-folk on the water so everything should be A-ok. Maybe we will start fighting several groups of drunks since that is the next logical conclusion. I don’t think there are any podcasts in our fantasy world...

## **Story**

Tails between their legs (literally for Thom the Dragonborn) the party heads back to the boat after almost dying at the hands of the elder black dragon. However they do have The Whip of Binding and their new son/nephew Bucky. The boat casts off and they leave The Lost Island heading for Mastwick.

They're not long on the sea however before another ship starts coming after them bearing the symbol of the god Tiamat. Lord Titus Harper tries to keep them at bay with a storm but is unsuccessful. The ship comes up to them and is full of Acolytes of Tiamat who want to smite them in the name of Tiamat. Minions and mayhem ensue but our heroes are victorious. They attempt to save the other ship to start their own navy but it's on fire and falling apart. They get some sweet treasure off the dead Dragonborn and wonder what they did to piss off a god this time.

## Episode Synopsis

This time on Cthulhu and friends…

Edward Mason and Deep Ones emerge from the water. Cam becomes controlled by Anita again, and charges at Lily. He tries to grab and pull her away. Eddie tries to connect to Mason 1. He manages to connect to the mainframe, and uploads his consciousness. 42 charges at Eddie, however the robot body becomes lifeless as 42 rips both his arms off.

Lily runs away from the advancing Deep Ones, but ends up at a sheer cliff wall. She climbs up the cliff.

Cameron surrenders to Edward Mason, and he is moved to the water near Edward. In a reflection Cam sees the man that has been pursuing him. Suddenly Cam is choking and unable to breathe. He connects to Edward psychically and asks for help. Edward waves a hand and dismisses the phantom. Edward then grips Cameron’s head and uses his psychic ability to send a message to everyone on Earth. This act kills Cameron.

From the top of the cliff Lily sees her friends are gone, opens the Necronomicon, and starts invoking the first thing she finds. Before passing out, Lily sees the Deep Ones being exterminated, and a surge of water washes Edward away.

Lily awakes and sees Clem. Clem and Lily head back to the bus. Lily begins the drive back to Tes’s house. However after several hours, it appears that she is not making progress. Lily abandons the bus and continues to Tes’s on foot.

Meanwhile on Mason 1, Eddie instructs the AI to begin construction of a laboratory so he can have a new body assembled. He then addresses the people on the space station.

Suddenly Mary Mason’s voice comes over the PA. Eddie runs a trace on the transmission and finds that Mary uplinked from Mason Dunwich. He taps into the Dunwich PA and requests that Mary contact him or the facility will be destroyed.

Eddie then contacts Officer 13, who is still on the station, and gets a report of the last week. 13 shows Eddie a picture of a large horrible creature that had appeared in deep space only a few hours ago. The creature seems to be headed towards Earth. Eddie recalls notes and pictures from researchers, and concludes the creature is Azithoth.

## Episode Synopsis

This time on Cthulhu and friends…

Clem walks away with the raven on her arm. Jack asks Clem to help him log onto the data pad.

After logging on Jack finds the satellite image from over Monhegan, and notices smoke rising. Jack becomes despondent, meanwhile Luna tries to contact one of her siblings on the radio. After a lengthy silence there is a reply in code; stay away.

Now that Jack knows there are survivors he begins to plan how they will get to the island. Looking through the garages on Tes’s property Luna finds a pristine 50’s late model T-bird. After getting the key from Tes, Luna gathers up the supplies and loads them into the car.

Clem pulls Jack outside and draws his attention to the shadow over Innsmouth. She mentions that Jack might be stuck on Earth because of Mary Mason.

Jack, Ronald, and Luna get in the car and travel towards St Paxton. After hours of driving they stop at an LOC refueling station. While alone with Luna, Jack informs her that Mary is inside of his head, and that she is affecting him. Worried about this news, Luna links telepathically with Jack, and Mary’s voice greets her. Luna immediately severs the connection and asks Jack how it happened.

Episode 34 - Teamwork, the Deadliest Weapon

Hello friends and family, thank you for visiting our magical headquaters located conveniently in an underwater valcono. This week things get – dicey – to put it midly. A bitter battler rages and the survival of the Drunks and Dragons it filed into the “doubtful” drawer. The only way to fight off this viscous monster is to work as a team.

## **Story**

The gang is surprisingly successful at fighting the Black Dragon. This is mostly because they really all start to embrace their combat roles with Lord Titus Harper controlling, Aludra the Dwarf tanking and Thom the Dragonborn buffing. Thom's bardic nature starts to show itself and he does an admirable job not getting killed. Aludra gets blasted quite a bit by acid breath but she withstands it like the brick house she is.

Upon slaying the black dragon, the party has approximately 30 seconds to celebrate before a much bigger dragon arrives and tells them they just killed it's child. Woops.

Episode 50 - The Greatest Love Story Ever Told

Adam Bash and Sarah Tompkins are back for the thrilling conclusion to Thom the Dragonborn’s attempt to be united with the one object in the world that has any meaning to him.

## **Story**

Thom, Watari and Wren are briefed by Salazar on the heist. They are to enter as entourage of a great dignitary, who is visiting Trant Thumble on official business. Then they must disarm a hallway of death, unlock a master safe and then escape with Blood Drinker and some magic dice.

The "Oceans Three" enter Castle Greyskull and they see their "boss" enter the meeting room with Trant Thumble. They soon strike up a conversation with two guards, Phil and "Not Silent" Bob. Phil is suspicious of the groups wanton disregard of normal guarding ettiquette, as they attempt to leave to removed goods off a cart. After a while, Thom stays behind whilst Watari and Wren slink off.

Wren uses hypnosis on a guard to persuade him to go make a snack whilst her falcon familiar scouts ahead. She soon finds the magical source of power for the hall of death. Wren easily disarms two crystals using her falcon to help.

Watari meanwhile waits by the hall of death with his uber eyeglass of dangersense. Sure enough, the hallways becomes less deadly as he leaps between lasers. He then tricks two guards by the vault to run into the hall of death (who subsequently die horribly - how will their familys cope?!). An alarm is triggered however, so Watari quickly opens the vaults, nabs Blood Drinker, the dice and several thousand gold pieces (for his own personal bank account).

Thom tries small talk with Phil and Bob, who are peturbed by the huge alarm which shakes the castle. The crew then proceed to escape the castle, which involves making Trant Thumble fall over, killing several guards and Thom finally getting his scaly paws on Blood Drinker.

The episode ends with two interesting developments. Firstly, Blood Drinker is now in Thom's mind, encouraging him constantly to go on a killing spree. Secondly, Watari hands Thom a "Speak with Animals" scroll which would allow him to talk to any animal... and we all know what that could mean!

## **Trivia**

* Thom is reunited with Blood Drinker!
* Thom is given a scroll of *Speak with Animals*, an item that will live in infamy...

Episode 26 - A Test of Friendship

I know we say this every week, but honestly, things get dicey on this episode of Drunks and Dragons. With Junpei going a little crazy and Thom being influenced by some mysterious force the gang’s trust is tested to its limits. Add in a visit from a group of Darkblades and things got really interesting.

## **Story**

The party escapes Castle Greyskull with the help of some tricky skill checks and Tum's disguise hat. They reach Quimby's Tavern where they meet the Darkblades to hand off Blood Drinker. However Thom and Blood Drinker have bonded heavily and he is reluctant to give it up. Things get dicey until Blood Drinker tells Thom they will find each other again. Thom eventually gives up the sword and Tum is officially made a Darkblade.

Episode 23 - The Beasts in the Streets

Since we had such a nice time on last week’s episode of Drunks and Dragons the gang was feeling pretty good. Our heads were in much less danger of being exploded. We met Fennekin the famed cleric. And we even had some direction for our lives! This week things don’t go as well and without spoiling anything I think we can all agree that Tum’s family is the worst.

## **Story**

The party exits the Temple of Erathis to be confronted by Primpel Thumble and Screechy Thumble outside. Primpel informs Tum that he will kill him for visiting Fennekin and be rewarded by Trant. The party defeats those two plus a bunch of guards. Thom takes Screechy's arms to add to his collection.

## Episode Synopsis

This time on Cthulhu and friends…

THe police officer seems annoyed at Leonard's insistance that something happened last night. Leondard calls the office and explains what he's found. After the call, Leondard helps give the truck a look over and right after he pops the hood the truck explodes. Leondard finds that he's unharmed after he helps douse the officer. Frank and Steve arrive on the scene shortly after the fire department and take pictures.

After finishing at the truck, the gentlemen look over the statue at the water's edge near the pier. However they find nothing new.

They head back to the office, and upon arriving see Hank chatting with Alice. Hank explains that he was drinking and left early and he takes his car and the parts for home. Steve starts drafting up on a story and Frank develops a layout for the first St. Paxton Herald: Evening Edition.

Once they are finished, Steve turns in the final draft and Alice runs it upstairs to the new owner. Steve steps out of his office and sees Barry (rival photographer) at the main entrance. Barry is very upset and claims that no one seems to know who he is anymore. Leonard comes out when he hears Steve talking, but he and Frank are not able to see Barry at all. Barry carries on talking to Steve and tells him to check the pictures from last night. Steve excuses himself and heads upstairs to inspect the photos. As he starts looking at them, Barry starts fading from the photos that he was previously in.

Episode 41 - Salty Sea Wench

After our strange dream and battle with the red dragon, we adventurers we ready to pursue another artifact. Already having The Whip of Binding, we set off to gather the Brazier of Worlds and the Orb of Endless Power. Except that there was a small issue that prevented us from our journey.

## **Story**

With their Mastwick quest log finally empty the party discusses whether they should try to go for The Orb of Endless Power or The Brazier of Worlds next and much to everyone's surprise they decided to go for the Orb. They are up and raring to go when they find out that Ros is missing, having gone out the night before and not returned. Xantolin tells them she went to Joe-Bob's Oat Emporium to get some oats for Daisy. They head off to the Oat Emporium and talk to Joe-Bob himself about where Ros is. He tells them that she was taken away by a huge bugbear. Thom the Dragonborn has a very in depth conversation/makeout session with the village idiot. Aludra gets her tracker hound on and follows a trail of oats left by Ros to the factory district. However once there they lose the trail and the skill challenge. A street urchin comes up to them and tells them that he was ordered to bring them to a warehouse.

In the warehouse they find Ros, tied up and in the hands of Rugul Thumble, the aforementioned bugbear. He has a number of extra thugs with him including a griffon. Rugal explains that he is trying to find Tum "Darkblade" Thumble on the orders of Trant Thumble all the while not realizing that Tum is super dead. He kidnapped Tum's "woman" causing some awkwardness between Thom and Ros. There is some wonderful player vs player rolling but eventually it comes out that Tum is dead and Rugul reveals that in that case he has no choice but to kill them all. He kicks Ros in the head and combat begins.

Episode 54 - Ice Cream for Bucky

Having discovered the error of their snap judgement on Thom the Dragonborn, the crew decides to take a relaxing little time off in a small town. The whole gang shows up! Ros, Bucky and even Daisy enjoyed a little bit of R and R. Of course this will be one of the last moments of comforts that the gang has since they will be journeying to House Vadalis in the near future. You have to make memories while you can. Take you son out for ice cream. Give you donkey good oates. All those things make a healthy and well rounded life.

## **Story**

The party reunites with the boat and the reactions are mixed. Harper actually doesn't even go on the boat, he goes shopping for ritual components. Aludra and Bucky hug and Bucky asks Aludra why she left him for so long. Aludra awkwardly explains that they didn't think they would be gone so long. Bucky tearfully begs them to take him off the boat, because he's been on there nonstop for 20 straight episodes. Aludra and Thom agree to take him out for ice cream. Ros on the other hand is pissed at Thom for leaving them alone, and for leaving her alone. She slaps him, which doesn't really have the intended effect (or does it) and complains about Harper's badger.

Thom, Aludra, Bucky and Daisy head off to the only store in town to get some ice cream. The shopkeeper has no idea what ice cream is, but he does have some legitimately delicious sounding honeycakes. They buy out his entire stock of honeycakes, much to his delight. Then Bucky spies something in the corner, a small saddle one might put on a donkey. After some arguably entertaining bartering and discussion the gang buys some horses, a wagon and the saddle for Bucky. Exciting!
