## **Summary**

### **Announcements**

* Mark welcomes everyone and introduces the players. Katie is away this week as she is unwell.
* Last Wednesday was the first episode of the HR's 4e Warhammer Fantasy game. This is a good chance for people to see the crew play a very different TTRPG. Episode 1 is currently available on Twitch, and will be available on the HR YouTube channel. Future episodes will be available to watch live or as a VoD on Twitch but will only be available afterwards to Patreon and YouTube subscribers. Katie is not playing in the Warhammer games but will be playing in future, different games such as The One Ring.
* Mark and Rhiannon will be playing in a new short D&D campaign on Mondays from 6-9pm GMT. This is a Dragonlance campaign linked to Idle Champions and is called Fury of the Black Rose. The DM will be B Dave Walters, Rhi will be playing Sentry, Mark will be playing Miria Elithren, a Silvanestri Elf, Wizard (Necromancer) from the world of Krynn (a new character being introduced to Idle Champions based on Azaria Perel). They will be joined by Gabe Hicks as well as Johnny and Ellen from Oxventure. They are currently taking votes that will affect the characters and the story. The game will be screened on CNEGames' twitch channel.
* A new fan art video will be shown during the break. This takes from over 100 pieces of fan art from June 2022.

### **Recap**

*"Last time, our Champions have journeyed into the dense woodlands of Aelseraph. Accompanied by a party of Wild Elves and Burrowfolk, they have engaged in a hunt - a great hunt... a monster hunt! - to hunt down one of the three great beasts of Atelicus, the mutated T-Rex Stonemaw. After trekking through the forest and going about their way making sure that they were following the tracks correctly, making sure that they weren't being pursued and hunted by Stonemaw itself, they laid an ambush and have begun the battle against the giant creature.*

*This creature seems to have unique defence systems where it mutates and adapts to things that it is fighting and, as such, many of its defensive mechanisms and offensive abilities are things that the party will need to adapt to and change as well as, not just defeating this beast, they must defeat this beast at the same time that two other parties elsewhere around Aelseraph defeat their own great beasts, their own giant mutated creatures. For if all three of them, unless all three of them are defeated at once, they will become protected and regenerate and come back even stronger."*
