Episode 40 - Requiem with the Dragon Hunter

We are whisked away once again to our weird dragon world. Who knows what this strange dream world is and what our purpose is within it. We will fight our way through this trial like we always do. Knowing that another battle is just around the corner, whether that corner be dream or otherwise.

## **Story**

The party celebrates their defeat of Bercy Hamhands and takes a rest on their boat in order to get up to Level 7. However when they wake they are no longer on the boat but in a forest glade. They see their old friend Aelar who looks much older and much more bitchin, with his sweet new facial scar. Aelar warns them that it's no coincidence that they end up here and that he is a dragon hunter. They are interrupted by (surprise) an Adult Red Dragon.

With Aelar's help they destroy the dragon easily and force it to eat like so many trees. And they only accidentally swear in front of Owen once. Aelar is about to tell them what is happening when the party begins to wake up. They find sand in their underwear.

Episode 39 - Settling up with the Darkblades

Hell hath no fury like a dragonborn scorn. Our adventurers decide to seek out the Darkblades who have double-crossed them in our latest episode. Stay turned after the end music to hear an impromptu discussion of DnD Next. You also get the hear the normal nonsense that goes on between episodes.

## **Story**

With an unconscious half orc at their feet and no gold in sight, the party discusses what to do with Bercy Hamhands now that Niles Blackwater has run off. Aludra the Dwarf suggests tying hams to his hands, which Thom the Dragonborn loves beyond belief and references through the entire episode. They tie up Hamhands and do tie some hams to his hands before he comes to. Aludra does a 180 from trying to kill him the previous episodes and feels sorry for him. They eventually decide to haul Hamhands off to a skeezy bar where they ask around about Darkblades and meet up with Footpad Calor. Calor tells them that Niles Blackwater has gone rogue and his life is forfeit. He gives the party 1500 GP for their trouble and has Hamhands hauled off somewhere.

There is then a discussion of their new level 7 powers.

## Episode Synopsis

This time on Cthulhu and Friends…

Luc has just arrived at the Mason complex. Introductions are made, and a room is readied for the new arrivals. Once alone, Luc apologizes to Riley about the botched smuggling job, and shows Riley the paper map. They are unaware that they are being monitored. Suddenly the station starts vibrating and rumbling. Afterwards Warren calls Lily and orders her to keep Eddie in the complex. Eddie immediately confronts Luc and Riley about the map, and demands it be handed it over. Riley, ever defiant, refuses, and then tries to tear the map. An invisible Officer 42 quickly incapacitates Riley, and in the confusion Luc recovers the map, but hands it to Eddie. The station begins shaking again. Concerned, Eddie attempts to call his Father, but the system is down. The station shakes fiercely, and the power cuts out. Without power, the group is trapped within the complex. A short while later Eddie receives a call from Warren, who warns him of a problem at the Core, and orders him to stay away from it. Officer 42 is talked into blasting open the door, and then Eddie asks Luc to head to the core to see what’s happening. Eddie establishes an audio link with Luc’s headset. Luc rushes to the core, but upon arrival he sees no apparent problem. Sensing that the Core was misdirection, Eddie taps into the station’s surveillance system to find where the real problem is.

While reviewing footage Lily sees that an explosion has occurred at Eddie’s mother’s lab. Eddie and Lily run out, and Luc re-routes to the lab. Luc arrives first, and overhears Mary, Eddie’s mother, telling Warren to destroy the remaining versions because “he can’t find out”. Luc then assists Warren trying to move Mary to safety. Eddie and Lily reach the lab moments later. After a brief exchange, Eddie stands aside while his mother is carried back to the Mason complex, and then he and Lily head into the lab to survey the damage. After putting Mary into cryo-stasis, Warren asks Luc what he overheard. Luc tells him, and then Warren suddenly orders an absent Officer 13 to “take care of Luc”. Sensing that his life is in danger Luc tries to punch Warren. Warren easily dodges Luc’s attempt and pins him to the floor. Luc tells Warren that his headset is streaming video to Eddie. After rethinking the situation, Warren calls Erik and orders him to append Luc. Moments later Luc is thrown into a cell… and that’s where we left off in this episode.

## Episode Synopsis

This week on Cthulhu and Friends...

Roger Martin is dragged into the ocean by Deep Ones. Everyone is very freaked out about this. So then they go back to the house and wake up drunk Allen. He's no longer drunk anymore and is kind of a badass. He offers to have everyone hop in his car and get away, but the villagers try to stop them. As they investigators try to flee, bad guys come out of the small hatch from the kitchen. The investigators slam the door and lock it to prevent them from coming through. This only leaves them the option of escaping out the front door where there's a standoff and the group has to shoot their way out. Not everyone makes their way out. The twins are drawing attention to them as they try to escape, and Jack shoots one of them. They manage to get to the car after setting the house on fire. Vaeda, upset by the child being shot, passes out. Jack brings her along. Allen runs back into the firey house as the rest of the group makes it to a yacht. Xander kills the other twin and they all make it onto the boat with Deep Ones coming out of the ocean.

## Episode Synopsis

This time on Cthulhu and friends…

As Evie approaches, the four pale people sitting at the table turn their heads towards her. The strange people get up and chase the party as it retreats to another room. Once safely behind a locked door, the group finds a hutch with a bronze box, four lanterns, and a tiny bronze pyramid. Robin and Evie lose their grasp on reality. The four pale people rush into the room and a struggle ensues. A bloody 42 shows up, armed, and ends the struggle.

Finally feeling safe, the party searches the rest of the house. They find a false wall that opens into a tunnel. Following it down, they find a strange device like a coffin and Bianca. Tess looks into the device and identifies the person inside as Jack.

Episode 48 - Soul Stealer

With heavy hearts the group seeks revenge, with the added help of Clinker, on this unholy monster. This monster that took one of our own. Nothing is as damned in this world as the focus of the group’s rage. I pity this foul monster’s remaining moments on this world.

## **Story**

The group hardly have enough time to mourn for the passing away of Aludra, when the giant pile of rocks in the room form a giant stone golem with an orb heart.

A thrilling battle ensues and Aludra's corpse ragdolls around. The group battle ineffectually for several minutes until the Stone Golem is finally dispatched by Clinker's Cock Shaft. Clinker then reveals that the orb is indeed of endless power and resurrects everyone's favourite dwarf, Aludra.

Aludra is questioned about her time in the after life, she says she doesn't remember and therefore God does not exist.

The group are then whisked away in the flying machine to Caer, with little explanation as to what happened to their ship and crew back in Medwyn.

Our heroes were left in quite the pickle last week eh? Who knows what is going on in the mysterious armory of Trant Thumble and if the gang will make it out alive… Fortunately, some powerful magic items were left just lying around so the odds should be in their favor.

## **Story**

The party fights Xavier Thumble and many, many guards to get out of the vault. Blood Drinker tells Thom the Dragonborn that there is a switch on the stuffed dragon that will open acid pits in the floor. Opening the pits goes fairly well for them until both Tum and Junpei fall in the pits and take a lot of acid damage. At the end of the battle Junpei has a mental break and fights Thom for the rights to Xavier's head. Junpei eventually gets the head and eats Xavier's brains. This is less than ideal for the rest of the party.

Episode 53 - Revenge of the Hobo

Hello wonderful denizens of the Astral Plain or Feywild! Please sit upon your chaos rock or your giant bewitched toadstool and conjure up another episode of Drunks and Dragons. This week we deal with certain poor decisions that may or may not have been made. Really, it is anyone’s guess as to how our acts ripple across the planar fabric of time. Know this, you are judged not just on your actions alone, but of those that you travel with. Be careful out there.

## **Story**

The gang has advanced to level 8 and gives us a quick update on their new powers. We also go through a nice visual description of everybody, in an effort to create some more vivid word pictures in the brains of the sweet, sweet listeners. There is an in depth discussion of whether pants exist in this world, as there is no pants slot on the character sheet. Lord Titus Harper reveals that he has been walking around with his robe open the entire time. Luckily he's super attractive so nobody minds.

They received word from Ros that the boat will meet them in the town of Fairmire so they head out in that direction. But they don't get far when they are accosted by a gang of homeless hobgoblins (hobogoblins, if you will). The leader points to Thom and claims that he killed their friend. At first Harper and Aludra seem willing to let Thom take a beating for his misdeed. But the hobogoblins announce loudly and pointedly that they will attack the town after defeating the party. So they get into a rousing battle which includes Thom attempting to use his Battle Crazed Greatsword as a spear and failing miserably (even though they're only minions).

At the end of the fight Thom reveals that he only killed the original hobo because he was beating up an old lady. Though Thom is quick to explain the he was totally looking for a hobo to kill, this one just happened to be doing something bad.

Episode 45 - Troll Toll

The heroes know when they have to risk their lives for the common man. It is a basic part about being a hero. If a town is haunted by a sea witch, then you better prepare yourself for a salty battle. Just the same, if a town is harrased by a 100 foot tall forrest spirit, who is actually a normal sized forrest troll, then you know that you will have to have some words with this forrest spirit.

## **Story**

The party resumes fighting Dungarth and it's a little touch and go. Thom seduces the fuck out of the troll with his new magic amulet. Harper and Aludra take some nasty damage but Thom's new bard powers keep them going. The episode ends before the end of combat, making this combat the only one to span 3 episodes.

Ironically the biggest trolls in the episode are Jennifer, Bachmann and Michael who spend the whole episode trolling Tim.

With the aide of our new…business partner we set out to find out where Ham Hands stashed his winnings. Will things go smoothly as Ham Hands turns himself in? Or will the gang have to convince him with fire and sword? I think you already know the answer...

## **Story**

After determining that there are two people sleeping in Old Mrs. Hamhands apartment, Niles deftly picks the lock (despite Lord Titus Harper breathing down his neck). They burst in and proceed to fight Bercy Hamhands while Old Mrs. Hamhands jumps out the window. During the fight, Niles makes him way into the other room where he finds the sacks of gold Bercy stole. Much to the party's dismay, he grabs the gold, also jumps out the window and escapes into the night. The party defeats Bercy and then wonders what the hell to do next.

Fassbender

**Fassbender** was the name of a the Ulitharid Mind Flayer in the process of morphing into an Elder Brain. Fassbender and his Mind Flayer cohorts were in charge of a mysterious underground city. This city was under investigation by the Scottsdale Mining Company, who sent Time That Erodes Young Love, Briar, Daggie Chookers, Faize, and Pegwing Blackfeather to investigate the city. This group promptly fell into the traps laid out by Fassbender. However, after suffering much personal turmoil (including the death of Daggie Chookers, replaced by Trent), the party was finally able to meet up with Fassbender. There was an intense battle, but Fassbender was ultimately killed by the party. Time That Erodes Young Love dealt the killing blow, hitting the Brain with several of his signature move, *Eldritch Blast*.

He was first mentioned by another Mind Flayer, when Briar was face to face with it. At the time, we didn't know who Fassbender was, but we later found out...

## Episode Synopsis

After meeting Nighthawk, the Crew searches the Mayor’s office looking for clues. Nighthawk returns with a note about a missing girl and tells the crew about a bird she found downstairs. Everyone quickly rushes downstairs and finds a strange bird in a cage. Nighthawk warns everyone to avoid touching the bird, as it seemed to have erased her memory. The bird seems to understand what people are saying and trying to communicate. A ouija board of sorts is hastily created to help the bird converse. The bird tells the crew that her name is Lily and she has been cursed. The bird takes flight, but then disappears leaving a large pile of feathers on the floor.

Episode 49 - The Great Heist

Tim and Jennifer are off enjoying a schnitzel and can’t be with us this week, but we are lucky enough to be joined by the lovely Adam Bash (@bashkick) and Sarah Tompkins (@herladytompkins) as Thom the Dragonborn attempts to take on the greatest heist of his (and anyone else’s) lifetime. Will Thom finally be reunited with his one true love? You will have to listen to find out!

## **Story**

Aludra takes time out to mourn for the loss of her brother and Harper decides to join her. In the meantime, Thom is left a mysterious message outside of his hotel room and this leads him to meet a shady character called Salazar.

Salazar is well aware of Thom's obsession with the greatsword Blood Drinker and offers to help Thom retrieve it from Castle Greyskull, if he can also find some magic dice. He is also told to meet up with a master locksmith and a master of disguise to enter the castle and find his true love.

Thom finds the first member of his crew down some dingy sewers - a Kenku Ravenman called Watari. Watari has fallen on hard times of late and reveals that he was a former "child" of Trant Thumble. He is very happy to join up with Thom to try and steal Blood Drinker as it will diminish Trant Thumble's grip on power. He carries around his chains as a reminder of his times in Castle Greyskill and as a weapon.

The second member of Thom's heist crew is a changeling lady called Wren. Wren is a master of diguise and is a keen falconer, her familiar being a particularly clever one. Wren is less keen on the heist when she finds out Watari will be coming along, it's never explained why she hates him. However, she is soon convinced by a large wad of cash and a promise to slash up Trant Thumble should the opportunity arise.

The plan then goes as follows: Find the dignitary who is due to meet Trant the next day and replace his entourage with themselves. The group find the entourage at a nearby inn and a plot is hatched to trick them into trying on clothes in a room upstairs. Thom also meets a dragonborn with a tail and it all gets quite emotional. Especially when Thom's kin is brutally murdered upstairs and dumped in the sewers. Then it is on to the heist...

Episode 31 - Fond Farewells

Hello, dear Drunks (and Dragons?). Have you recovered from last week’s very dramatic episode? Are you ready for another intense and surprising adventure with our ragtag crew? You’re not? Better slug some grog and gird your loins, because we’re getting dicey up in here. This week’s episode centers around fond farewells and quests both old and new. So put in your headphones! We’re going to the Lost Isle.

## **Story**

A very somber party goes back to the boat and departs for The Lost Island. Everybody is really bummed out. Ros is ever the businesswoman and needs the party's approval on some new hires. They weed through the chaf and eventually decide on Winston and Harper. Winston because he is burly and strong. Harper because he almost simultaneously melts Ros and Aludra's panties off with his good looks. They set off for and eventually reach The Lost Island using the magic compass Tum "Darkblade" Thumble gave his life for. They arrive at the Lost Island to find it full of Githyanki and Junpei Iori gets his memories back. Junpei remembers that he grew up here and that the island is often attacked by cannibal Githyanki. Junpei left to become a pirate but now realizes that he has to help his people from the cannibals. A crew asks him to go with them and he agrees. More tears are shed as Junpei imparts his belongings to Aludra the Dwarf and Thom the Dragonborn before leaving to sail the Astral Sea.

## Episode Synopsis

This time on Cthulhu & Friends...

Vaeda unknowingly casts a spell which caused darkness and brought forth some Deep Ones. She slams the book away. Xander Cain breaks into the mansion and gets mixed up in the chaos.

The players end up searching the house. Vaeda takes the first floor while Jack and Xander circle around the outside. They finda small window that leads essentially nowhere, but let them know of the presence of a subterranean local. Vaeda is able to find a panel in the kitchen. Xander successfully opens the panel which leads them into a dirt tunnel lit with torches.

At the end they find a door that they are unable to open. The group notices a peephole over the door. On the other side, they see the two creepy twin daughters as they deilver a dose of something in an old castor oil container to an apparently 12 year old girl. Possibly the girl Jack and Vaeda have been looking for - Sarah.

With no way to open the door, they decide to search the house once more. They notice the owner of the house skulking away into the darkness with a flashlight. They pursued and were attacked by angry townspeople with nets and they defended themselves. The townspeople are trying to lead them to a sacrifice where they will be eaten by fish people.

Episode 58 - The Most Magical Time of the Year

Having entered the Fey Realm with the help of a long lost friends, the adventurers are now firmly on their path to redeem Yulemanden. The hopping through time continues but I think we all learned a little bit about ourselves and the nature of evil. The thing we all needed was a slightly non-linear set of events to melt our ice hearts and to save an evil magic man who wanted to capture all the magic in all the realms.

## **A song, by Steph Kingston**

It's the most wonderful episode of the year.

Though it's totally not Christmas.

There were bastions of defence.

Some heralds of winter.

And Tum rolls a few D4s.

There were a few crit fails.

And beautiful bro love.

That brings a tear to our eyeeees.

It's the most magical episode of the year.

Tum wants to live again.

And gets really bitter.

And we all get a little bummed oouuuuut.

It's the most magical episode of the year.

Harper and Bucky

Bucky needs to practice his sword.

Nobody checked Daisy.

That's kind of shitty.

Oh well cause the episode's dooooone.

It's the most magical episode of the year.
