The Dragon Friends Wiki

## Welcome to the Dragon Friends Wiki

Strap on your jerkin! Grab your favo(u)rite longsword! Roll some 20-sided dice! The time for pizza is over! The time for adventure is now!

Dragon Friends is a monthly Australian comedy show/podcast, and since 2019 a weekly Twitch stream, where three four comedians muddle through Dungeons & Dragons adventure campaigns, and this is its Wiki!

Dragon Friends is currently in its 8th season (as of 2022). There are also numerous specials, a multi-part livestream of Tomb of Annihilation, two separate spin-off Twitch campaigns (one long, one episodic), a Dragon+ Magazine adventure, and a spiel-creating Twitch stream called Chekov's Sword. Some specials can only be found on Patreon.

You can find out more at Dragon FAQ. If you want to dive into the seasons, go here.

Nine Known Worlds

The Nine Known Worlds are 9 distinct realms of space that were created when the Godstone was shattered into 9 shards. 9 unique realms were then created, each holding a shard of the Godstone and each shard still remembering from where they came. These realms can only be traversed with the help of the shards themselves when utilized by beings known as planeswalkers.

After great battles and wars between the planeswalkers, a peace was reached with the signing of the Shard Treaty and a council aiming to control interplanar travel. They built a shield called the cradle around the Nine Known Worlds and declared everything outside the cradle wildspace and forbidden.

Some places that offend the council are banished beyond the cradle. One such example are the Deadlands.

They include

* Primus
* The Bluffs of Chance
* The House Eternal
* Dim Carcosa
* The Feywild
* The City of Brass
* The Deadlands
* The Blessed Fields of Elysium
* The Nine Circles of the Abyss
Dragonbjørn (Cocktail)

Here's a festive spritz for the Beef Babes finale, in honor of everyone's favorite midcentury modernist. Good ol' Bushu - here's hoping he stays safe and sound in the finale and doesn't get fucked over by Hing. No spoilers!

**The** **Dragonbjørn**

* 1 oz Midori
* Several dashes ginger bitters
* Add an ice cube and fill most of the way with sparkling wine
* Top with grapefruit seltzer and a lime wedge
Two Guards

"Two Guards" is a recurring gag in which the Dragon Friends repeatedly encounter very similar pairs of guards: one who very much likes being a guard, and another who does not care for it at all. These are typically both played by Ben Jenkins, with variations sometimes including Edan Lacey.

Appearances:

* “The Audition” (1.01)
* “The Less Theatrical Hobgoblin” (1.03)
* Shut Up, I Look Great (1.10)
Named for their Weapon

A surprising number of NPCs who would not otherwise be notable end up having the same name as, or a name derived from, the weapon they use.

This is typically because they are introduced without a name, the name of their weapon is used to identify them in combat, and that identifying name becomes Canon.

## Appearances:

* Weirdknife and Garrotte - Me Know What Mansplaining Is (3.03)
Snakes

Snakes are legless, elongated slithering reptiles. In the hands of a skilled artisan such as Freezo, snakes can be fashioned into crude rope or whips.

Snakes are:

* Capable of manipulating their body temperature during courtship
* Denser than water
* Blind
* Known to bite when endangered, unless they forget
* Their girth is the size of a large D20 dice, nickel, and/or green tree snake.
* Snakes come in all the colours.
Waterdeep Guild of Thieves, Tricksters and Beggars

The Waterdeep Guild of Thieves, Tricksters, and Beggars is an underground criminal fraternity run by Janos Meer, the Beggar King. Long-simmering tensions with the Shipwrights' Guild come to a head during the events of It True, Me Your Nightmare (1.08) and lead to war between the two factions.

## Members:

## People

### Dragon Friends

* Philge
* Freezo
* Bobby Pancakes
* Baston

## Themes, tropes and running jokes

* Kung Fu Baston — after taking a level of Monk and now possessing two magic swords, Edan vows to never use an unarmed strike again. We'll see how long that lasts.
* Philge Straps It To Her Chest — a small child

## Quotes

* "Why don't you DM faster?" — Benny, after Dave points out that the Dragon Friends are only 20% of the way through Tomb of Annihilation after an entire season
* "There was a spell promised to me by a mechanic..." "All of your stories start this way. In real life." — Hing and Simon
* "You take me axe! Me nothing without axe! You nothing without air!" — Philge, trying to strangle Freezo to get her cursed axe back
* "I apologize for my friends. She has recently been cursed, and he's an idiot." — Bobby, on Philge and Freezo
* "It's the conflict at the heart of Freezo: he's a greedy coward." — Hing
* "Baston leads you all bravely into the jungle, and as mid-morning becomes noon, and then the afternoon...happens as well...oh, voice of a poet! And then there's some evening for a bit, and once then it comes dark, but that's no good, because you need to keep going, so soon up comes Mister Sun! Hello, Mister Brightside, and you — which is six now, which is a *lot* — find your way to not trusting Baston to lead you." — Dave's opening intro to the second half, after the players screw around for like twenty minutes after the intermission
* "I only slapped you! It's your fault for having a soft face!" — Philge blames the victim
* "We just ended here, as Gary Gygax would've wanted." — Dave sarcastically explains that they've reached the end of the Tomb of Annihilation campaign setting book, which they absolutely have not
* "If you thought we were just bad at D&D, watch out! We're actually bad at most things." — Alex, in the post episode Q&A, announcing that there will be some episodes featuring the crew playing other games

## Table Talk

* Dave claims that this episode was broadcast live from a pub where the doors are locked and you will die.
* During the leveling up process, Hing admits that he had been confused about Warlock pact powers and that Freezo shouldn't have been able to take the Beast Speech ability. Dave decides to retcon this such that Freezo *never* had this power and only *thought* he could talk to animals.
* After the intermission Dave reveals that, "because you cretins have done so badly at this campaign", a second season of the Dragon Friends' Tomb Of Annihilation stream would be run.
* As Dave mentions in his closing speech, this is the last episode featuring Benny Davis as a regular part of the crew for a while, as he flew off to Singapore the following day.
* The post-episode Q&A session unusually takes place outside — several of the crew were in a park making phone calls in support of a resolution on marriage equality — and features Edan Lacey, Shakeera Khan, Alex Lee, Ben Jenkins and (very briefly) Carlo Ritchie.
Patrina

Patrina Velikovna was the young bride of Sergei von Zarovich, and the love of Strahd von Zarovich. The love was not mutual between Strahd and Patrina, however. Out of jealousy and spite, Sergei and Patrina were poisoned by Strahd at their wedding. Immediately after the deed, Strahd regrets killing her and wishes her back. In fury, he casts the city of Carcosa into another plane, creating Dim Carcosa.

Ireena Kolyana looks remarkably like her, and Strahd believes that she truly is Patrina.

### The Second Age of Ruin

But in another timeline, Strahd does not interfere, seemingly not caring at all. He's too busy dealing with rebuilding the world after the fall of the Netherese Empire. Patrina lives and becomes Sergei's wife. She's revealed to be a Lady of Carcosa.

After her death, her body goes missing - being a true Lady of Carcosa, traditions dictate that her body be found, for if a true Lady or Lord of Carcosa dies outside of Carcosa, their spirit is said to be doomed to wander the worlds forever. With the assembled forces of Carcosa sent out to retrieve it, a war erupts between their nation and that of the Freeborn, laying waste of most of Barovia in the process. This war has been ongoing for 100 years in 127FR when the Dragon Friends are woken from their slumber.

As it turns out, Strahd is the one behind the disappearance of her body. The Dragon Friends's repeated comments about him not doing anything with Patrina stick with him and eventually make him fall in love with the Carcosan Lady anyway. Even though Byron Vowell tries to prevent her death as per instructions from his father, Strahd kills Patrina and her husband by accident. Patrina's remains are sealed away in a small orb and hidden in a statue, suspended whilst Strahd attempts to bring a god into existence through the power of belief in order to restore her to life. Unfortunately, Freezo manages to find Patrina's corpse and escapes with it by turning into corn gas.

Patrina's body is later returned to the then ruler of Castle Ravenloft, Philip Boroff, who (supposedly) ends the conflict by returning the body to the Carcosans.

## Trivia

* In the original *Ravenloft* module and its remakes, Patrina Velikovna was a drow (dusk elf) who desired to marry Strahd, but was rebuked in favor of Tatyana and later killed by her fellow elves when she approached Strahd after Ireena died. In Dragon Friends, Tatyana is never mentioned; since Ireena is a human, one can safely assume that Patrina was a human, too.

Tribe Of A Million Kings

The **Tribe of a Million Kings** is a primitive tribe that survives on the refuse discarded from Freeside and the Haystack Casino. Members have constructed a shanty town outside the town of Brisvegas and are known to waylay travellers entering the town, and to kidnap those expelled from the Casino as slaves.

It is believed that the Tribe were organizing a more sustained attack upon the Casino at the time the Friends arrived; when Bobby Pancakes attempted to bluff Grundle Cocksplat, a chapter leader in the Tribe, by saying that he was a messenger involved in business to "bring the tribe to glory", Grundle unwittingly revealed that such a plan *did* exist - before being killed by Philge. When Bobson Dugnutt was later left behind with the Tribe, he organized the tribe into an attack on Freeside. The intended purpose of this attack is unknown but it - possibly unintentionally - had the effect of obstructing the emergency evacuation after activation of the Haywire Cube and resulting in the deaths of everyone on Freeside and all participating tribe members (it is not known if any of the tribe were left behind).

It is later revealed that the original name of the tribe was the **Tribe of a Million Hings,** after Michael Hing (NPC).
Voss-Saito

The **Voss-Saito Corporation** is a military hardware corporation in the canon Shadowrun universe. Based on the real German corporation **Blohm & Voss**, in Shadowrun it is assumed this company was merged into the Renraku Megacorporation; but split when some members supported General Keiji Saito, the dictator of the California Protectorate, yielding the name **Voss-Saito**.

In the Dragon Friends, Voss-Saito were the original signatories of Johnny Playstation; after his announced intend to depart for Horizon, Voss-Saito insisted he be "persuaded" to return to them or else assassinated. They thus act as the main antagonists in Season 3, both indirectly and through their agents Glitter Gleam and Mr Terminal.
Sycuran

Sycuran is the trusted human advisor to Davin Tyrell. He helps Davin to assassinate the Duke of Daggerford and assume the role in his stead. He is an entire six feet tall.

Philge beats Sycuran to death with her maul when he tries to prevent them from fleeing Daggerford Castle.

### Dragon Friends

* Philge

## Themes, tropes and running jokes

* Canon — Bobby Pancakes now canonically has a jacket in his inventory
* God/Dave — Freezo (or Hing, it's not entirely clear) prays to Dave, requesting the sudden death of Sir Grimsby. Dave says he'll do it if Hing rolls 96 or higher on percentile dice. To everyone's surprise, including his own, Hing immediately rolls a 96.

## Quotes

* "Well, fair enough." — the last words of Sir Grimsby Davenport
* "The dice don't lie." "They're like Shakira's hips, in many ways." — Dave and Alex react to the improbability of Sir Grimsby's sudden death
* "I'm *trying* to wallpaper over this..." — Dave, as everyone discusses the proper medical treatment for a sea captain who had shat out his own dick

## Table Talk

* Dave claims that this episode was broadcast live from a cardboard box on top of another cardboard box in a sort of Indiana Jones underground warehouse.
* In the absence of Benny Davis, pre-recorded background music and sound effects are provided by Gabby, a friend of Hing's.
* One of several TOA episodes in which someone loudly proclaims "Sorry, Greg!" after saying something horribly filthy. Greg Tito is the Communications Manager at Wizards of the Coast.
Mr. Vinegar Pimms Cup

**Mr. Vinegar Pimms Cup**

* Chop and muddle 2-3 fresh strawberries in the shaker
* Add 1-2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar (the better the vinegar, the more you can use; best would be the really thick, almost reduction-like Italian balsamic)
* 1 shot Pimm's #1
* 2/3 shot gin
* 1/3 shot lemon juice
* 1/3 shot Licor 43 (this is easily omitted if you don't have it - the drink still works, just a little less balanced)
* If you like spicy drinks, some dashes of ginger bitters or even a dash of Tabasco sauce gives this some extra teeth - thoroughly optional.
* A modest pinch of salt and a generous crack of black pepper
* Shake on ice, strain, garnish with a strawberry
* Drink slowly, blocking out the mayhem of your incompetent coworkers for a blessed few minutes of respite.
This is Who I Am

## Description

The Deep Gnomes of the Moptop Clan have been sworn to the Vampire Strahd for one hundred years. The Dragon Friends have to make a choice which they do with predictably disastrous results. Featuring the return of everyone’s favourite good boy Tom Walker.

A note this is one of our most filthy episodes for some reason. There may have been something in the water.

## Synopsis

The Dragon Friends interrogate Keeeith, Philge with her foot on his neck, who reveals that he is not Strahd von Zarovich, but works for him. His entire clan has been cursed by Mad Moira to work for Strahd. They see the room, a clockwork marvel with a puppet dressed in vampire finery suspended in the middle, with the Deep Gnome reveals is his latest gift to the vampire. He reveals that Strahd is in the West Wing.

Philge convinces Keeeith to take them to the dungeons. Freezo stays behind to take the clothes from the vampire puppet. Keeeith guides them down, unlocking doors and ignoring old, rusted ones. They eventually reach an old, locked, metal door, that Keeeith doesn't have a key for. Bobby Pancakes tries to pick the lock, but an armored creature falls on him. The Rust Monster begins combat with them. Bobby restrains the monster with his burlap clothes and Philge tries some more magic. They kill the Rust Monster and Bobby collects some of the corrosive fluid in a water skin, which he uses to break the lock on the door.

They see a collection of cells, and in one there is a bundle of rags, out of which they meet Dringo. He tells them that Mad Moira sent him there, and that she works in the kitchen.

Season 6 Theme

Outlaws cast by a force so malign,
Feel that stir, their spirits runs plenty,
A dark land saved by a natural twenty;
Where's Baston? He was training in the jungle;
Bobby Pancakes? He was running with the wolves;
Where was Philge? Learning to read from a talking dog, yeah,
Where's Banknote? He runs his father's company,
The Dark Lord Strahd? He's a very naughty man;
Finally together,
The light for hope we call the Dragon Friends.

The **Season 6 Theme** summarises the events of the Downtime Episode and was written by Tom Cardy and Lulu Raes.

Season 7 Theme

But in the process they were sent back through time
What should they do? Who should they kill?
Probably someone innocent
They've got to travel back through time
Something that rhymes with time
Friendship is forever
Friendship never ends
It doesn't matter what time you're in
You're still a Dragon Friend
A fuckin' Dragon Friend, ha-ah-huh

The **Season 7 Theme** briefly explains the time travel premise of the season. The full version appears in *Canadian Death* (7.01), while a shortened version consisting of just the final five lines is used for subsequent episodes (and at the end of each episode of the season).
Woke Freezo

Freezo has some interesting opinions that he likes to share. He believes in unions and workers' rights and is interested in the human stories of sex workers. In contrast, he is an Anti-VAX-er. He may not always be right, but he believes that he is.

## Appearances

* The Audition (1.01) - Freezo has an extended rant about tenant's rights
* It Like She Me (1.02) - Opening every jail cell in an empty political gesture, "THE STATE IS VIOLENCE!"
* The Less Theatrical Hobgoblin (1.03) - Talks to Kithercy about sex work
* Aren't All Bags Bags of Holding (1.07) - Takes pains to specify that he is interested in the human stories of sex workers, including fuckgoblins
* A Valuable Addition to Our Team (1.11) - Very concerned about misgendering Seamus Noggin
* This Plan Seems Solid (2.10) - Insists on a link between vaccines and autism, to a chorus of in-character and out-of-character protestations
* But I'm Riding a She-Orc (2.11) - Freezo thinks Bobby's use of Charm Person is a gray area.
* Theme From 'The Nanny' (3.09) - Freezo is a "small-l libertarian"
* Stream of Annihilation (TOA.00) - Unionizes some velociraptors

Saucy Little Minx (Cocktail)

## The Saucy Little Minx

With it's tart cherry, refreshing citrus, tangy ginger beer, and a hint of manly spices, this non-alcoholic cocktail provides a delightful alternative to the Horsey Two-Horse, it's fly-kicking full-alcohol partner. Sometimes you need to slake a manly thirst without impairing your ability to do serious damage, and this refreshing little number does just that.

### Ingredients:

* 4 juniper berries
* 3 whole cloves
* 1/4 stick of cinnamon
* 1/4 Cup unsweetened cherry juice
* 1/2 Cup limeade
* 3/4 Cup strong ginger beer
* Cherries and lime slice to garnish

### Mix It Up:

Place whole spices and a splash of the cherry juice in a cocktail shaker and muddle. Add remaining cherry juice and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Once spices and cherry juice have gotten well acquainted, add the limeade and several ice cubes. Shake well. Strain the juice mixture into a glass and add the ginger beer and several ice cubes. Garnish with cherries and lime slice.

### Handy Tip:

Pre-spice your cherry juice. Put two cups of cherry juice in an airtight container with a whole cinnamon stick, 8 whole cloves, and 12 crushed juniper berries. Store in the refrigerator until ready for use. No muddling of the spices is required as their oils and the tasty flavors they hold will blend into the juice while it sits quietly in the dark and cold.

Once you've had this refreshing and spicy pick-me-up you will feel like the strongest (and most handsome) man in Borovia. Now get out there and find your horse!

## Description

*With Road Distractions behind them and the in-progress Castle Ravenloft ahead, The Dragon Friends must create a cunning ruse to get face to face with the lord of the castle. Surely Four Such as These can devise a thematically appropriate cover story to get them beyond the gates.*

## Cast

### Dragon Friends

* Philge

* Freezo (played by Demi Lardner)
* Baston
Mr Terminal

**Mr Terminal** (referred to as **MR T3RM1NAL** in later summary text) is the marginally unhinged Head of Security at Voss-Saito corporation and the primary antagonist for the final episodes of Season 3.

After Freezo and Philge deployed the Haywire Cube in the Freeside control room, Mr Terminal began to trace them through the Matrix, revealing that he had been monitoring their entire adventure. After the Friends refused to meet him peacefully he waylayed them on their way to the Voss-Saito airlock where he and his guards killed several members of the Zhivago Twelve and seriously wounded Freezo. Mr Terminal was then hacked apart by Baston with his sword while he was reeling from a shock baton impact to the "nards".

He is described as a thin figure dressed in black with a shock of white hair and armed with two taser-pistols that shock and disorient the target as well as causing potentially lethal damage.

It is briefly implied that Mr Terminal may be related to Strahd von Zarovich, partly because Ben Jenkins gave him a very similar voice. He is later revealed to be an engineered peripheral - not based on any real person - controlled by the intelligence of Michael Hing (NPC). This likely means that he remembered the name "von Zarovich" from his previous participation in Season 2, a meta-twist that would make Uchikoshi proud.

**Ostin Powerful** is a goblin junker from Junkerton. She is filthy and obsessive, even among other goblins, and dresses in a series of strategically placed eye patches.

Ostin's ambitions were grander than most of her junker brethren. Not content merely to hurl large rocks at floating castles and scramble to recover the ensuing rain of treasure, Ostin asked: what if *we* were rock? She was able to realize this dream by constructing a large cannon and firing herself and the Dragon Friends into the sky to explore these castles ("big boys") for themselves. After exploring the castle, she touched a mysterious crystal in the diadem of a Titan and vanished.

In the series finale Ensorcelled  it was revealed that Ostin Powerful was actually Hyperion Max hiding in wild space before preparing a trap for the immortal half-Elf Freezo.
Put It All On Red

## Description

Our heroes find themselves within the glitzy, sticky heart of Brisvegas with a singular task ahead: infiltrate the Haystack Casino, ascend to the fabled Skyway Lounge and make their way from there up the Needle to Freeside. Things do not go as planned.

## Synopsis

The Friends, with the help of Bad Bitch, have entered the streets of Brisvegas. Bobby masquerades as Raul Chamgerlain to gain entry to the Haystack casino. The bouncer explains that entry to the casino requires a credstick and costs 2000 credits each, which is returned in non-refundable chips. Freezo sells his Ares Microtechnology shares for 16000 credits to pay the Friends' way in, and find they need to gain access to the Skyway Lounge which contains the entrance to the Needle and Freeside, and costs 3000 credits each to enter. Freezo and Bobby go to play some Space Blackjack, where Freezo tries to encourage Bobby to cheat and is fined half his chips. Dobson Bugnutt and Baston are meanwhile playing Roulette.

Philge asks Megryan to identify the richest person in the room, and she points out Ariel Billgates, a curiously dressed man playing Hyper Poker. Philge tries and fails to impress him and then falls back on grabbing the purple chips he was gambling with and stuffing them in her mouth while attempting to seduce him. She does persuade him to take her to the High Rollers Lounge (which she wrongly believed to be the Skyway Lounge), where she is offered a Martini, drinks it, and accidentally swallows the chips. Philge asks Ariel to punch her in the stomach, which he does - causing her to vomit up the purple chips, the martini and most of 12 mid-strength beers from the Ute Muster over him. While Megryan attempts to gather up and wash off the chips, Philge whispers to Ariel that she has a gun and leaves. Megryan reveals that the purple chips are worth **one million** credits each. Philge, against advice and to the shock of the audience, puts all six million on red on the Roulette wheel in an attempt to win so much money she can buy the Needle itself. She loses.

## Description

With their first escort in flames and their second revolutionary, The Dragon Friends are forced into a choice of allies. The splendours of High Netherill or the righteousness of the Free Folk.

## Synopsis

Surviving the crash of the airship *Rapture*, the Dragon Friends pause to tend their wounds. While Philge swaps warrior stories with Jerek Rim, Freezo tells the Freeborn leader, the Great Tsar, the truth: that they are from a time one thousand years in the future when Netheril has fallen, and that they have come back to find out why. When no-one wants to here other minor details about the future, Freezo stalks back into the ship and steals the Claw of Chiron. Bobby and Baston read through *The Terrible and Lamentable History of the Noble House of Strahd*, trying to find out more about this time; they reveal the nature of the book and ask the Tsar about Paternius von Zarovich, whom the book says opposed Karsus and paid “the ultimate price”. The Tsar says he can help them meet Paternius if that’s what they want, as Freeborn dog sleds arrive.

Taking the unconscious Val with them, they head to the Howlers’ hideout, hidden in a secret cave deep in the desert. There the Tsar brings forth Paternius: he has been transformed into a Magen. Val is dumstruck as the Tsar reveals this is the secret of Netherese power: they use the Free Folk as slaves and sources of magic. Bobby impulsively darts forward and, before anyone can stop him, murders Paternius. The Tsar is outraged, and when Bobby tries to explain that Paternius’ children will cause “a ruckus” in the future, the Tsar reveals he is Paternius’ son: Strahd von Zarovich.

The Dragon Friends have turned their new allies against them. As the Howlers move to restrain the Friends, Freezo wonders if the solution is to just kill everybody...

Thank You, The Dave

## Description

*The Dragon Friends are faced with a quest; retrieve a dragon egg that can power their enchanted sleep. With Baston's progeny in toe, they set out to restart their journey back home.*

## Synopsis

This episode entry is in need of a synopsis. Please consider taking a few minutes to add one.

## Cast

### Dragon Friends

* Philge
* Bobby Pancakes
* Freezo
* Baston

### NPC's

* Byron Vowell (Dave used the portmanteau *Byron Indrurovowell* for this episode)
* 'The Dave', a humanoid actively describing the world, actions and situation (result of Freezo's polymorph)

### Bestiary

* Various horny plants
* Big, one-eyed creature-eating plant with the ability to wink seductively
	+ It is polymorphed by Freezo to become 'The Dave'.
* One of the last remaining Netherese Mages (according to Byron)
* Red dragons

## Places

* Barovia (the past, new timeline):
	+ Bellenok Mountains
	+ Vallaki Gorge (Svalich Woods)
	+ La Rune's Landing
	+ Abandoned Netherese tower of the Magi

## Themes, tropes and running jokes

* The audience drew a disturbing amount of horny plants as a result of Dave's weird taste in jungle design.
* When Freezo casts polymorph, the group is conflicted on whether or not to turn the plant into the latest model of iPad. When Dave mentions it has to be a creature, Freezo morphs it into a version of Dave who's Dungeon Mastering. It's lovingly called 'The Dave'.
	+ Polymorph can only work if you have seen a creature before - something Hing isn't entirely sure about that they have. They have met a version of Dave in season 4, however.

## Trivia

* Scott Edgar of Tripod provides the musical accompaniments for this and the next episode.
* Both Ben and Alex manage to roll the same outcome twice in a row on the same turn - a 2 and a 20 (!!!), respectively - a 1/400th chance! It grants Philge a spellbook written in Goblin and Byron a number of painful moments.
	+ It's not the first time this happens with a natural 20 and especially not for Alex - in season 4, she achieved the same feat, resulting in Philge killing Lady Casilda.
Raul Chamgerlain

**Raul Chamgerlain** is a world-renowned French fashion designer who looks surprisingly similar to Bobby Pancakes. The resemblance was strong enough to allow Bobby, after some minor plastic surgery, to impersonate him and gain access to high-society events in his place. This mostly consisted of replacing his ear which had been removed by Strahd von Zarovich in Season 2.

Philge and Raul had a high-profile romance in the weeks before Season 3, causing her much embarrassment when Bobby found out. Raul also with had a close relationship with visual effects specialist Glitter Gleam.

Raul's name appears to have been drawn from a list of fake American-sounding names for baseball players that appeared in the Japanese SNES game Fighting Baseball.

## Themes, tropes and running jokes

* Kiss The Ham: the well preserved ham continues to be kissed, although Freezo states that, in order to kiss it, you need to say something nice about pre-ham Banknote. Freezo later offers Byron some time alone with the ham in return for one hundred shells (the current day's equivalent of gold coins).
* Coins are not a thing yet, instead everyone pays in shells.
* Multiple NPC's have to explicitly tell the Dragon Friends that no one is cross with them in order to prevent them from being cross.
* Dave and Ben continue to mix-up names.
* *Ask the Renee*: Dave advises Ben to check the Wiki on whether or not one of the La Rune's has died. He instead checks with Renee (*an audience member and lore-keeper*), who confirms that the Wiki says that the La Rune's are alive.
	+ (*technically it never said they weren't alive - it just never stated they were dead. Yes, I know, who cares. No one likes a technicality, But who's job is it to prevent technicalities by adding to the Wiki? Is it my job? Yours? Why am I writing this? This isn't funny. Please help update this Wiki. We're still missing an article on Flappy.*)

## Themes, tropes and running jokes

* Before the show, Dave asked Twitter (and Discord) users if they could create a number of player characters for him as he wanted to up the stakes after years of bullying by removing death saves. If a character would die, they'd get a new one. Unfortunately, it was Tom's character who died, indirectly due to Freezo's actions. Dave apologized to Tom: "*these consequences weren't for you*".

The Vampire Named Strahd Too!

## Description

More clues come to light about the shadowy house of Strahd and the motives of the vampire count. The Dragon Friends try their hand at grave robbing. Freezo finds a magic coin.

## Synopsis

The Dragon Friends loot the body of the mimic. Freezo here gets Freezo's Cursed Coins. They also find a scroll, a lantern, a key, and an elven breastplate. Freezo further steals from Philge.

They hear Strahd von Zarovich's voice through a suit of armor in the library. He tells them that all he wants is Patrina, meaning Ireena Kolyana. Bobby Pancakes tries to explain that Patrina is dead, but Strahd doesn't want to hear it. Baston puts on the armor Strahd is speaking from, but it is cursed and he cannot remove it. Freezo examines the rest of the magic items that they looted to find out what they do.

The Dragon Friends decide to go upstairs to search for the Name Sword of Sergei von Zarovich. Philge uses the magic key on the door, and they are all sucked in to the doorway, so hard that Baston's armor falls off. They are deposited in pitch darkness, far below the doorway.

To explore the dark room, they all hold hands in a line to cover ground and search for other things in the room. Freezo holds out his magical sword with his free hand and it eventually hits something and lodges. The room illuminates and Freezo sees a pile a rags that is a sleeping creature. They also see doors to crypts on the other side of the room. Bobby tries to sneak to the other side of the room, but the Ettin , Kyle & Jackie O, awakes. They begin combat, Ireena trying to dack the monster. Philge speaks to them in orcish. They are a bit racist to Philge because she's a half-orc. They kill Kyle first, and then Jackie O.

## Quotes

## Table Talk

* The communal rule making, starting by Ben Jenkins, births Freezo's Cursed Coins.
* Ben says that a long discussion about the order in which they're all holding hands and sweeping the room is "super duper cut from the podcast," but it's super duper not
Thomas Smedley

**Thomas Smedley** is an NPC afflicted with *The Glimmering* who informs Baston and the other Dragon Friends of the existence of the Gates in Season 5.

Smedley appears to have been taken from an actual *Call Of Cthulhu* adventure called *The Smedley House*, originally published in the fanzine *The Unspeakable Oath*.
Stoot

A stoot is a garment common among the futuristic elite and is often worn by bodyguards, earning them the nickname "Stootmen". It is much like a suit except that the trousers taper seamlessly into boots. Multiple stoots are stolen over the course of Season 3 and used to disguise members of the Dragon Friends as security staff. Stoots by Armani are considered especially stylish.
The Lance Of Perrix

The lance of Perix first appeared in Season 4 episode 1 Erotic Cirque Du Soleil where it is stolen from Janos Steyer in The City of Brass

The lance is a magical artifice created by The PlanesWalker Perix, it’s primary function is to make it possible to pierce the cradle that encircles the 9 known worlds, for this action Perrix and the entire race of Goliaths we’re banished from the cradle and exiled to wild-space
