## Episode Synopsis

This time on Cthulhu and friends…

Leonard, in a fit of rage, attacks Nigel and knocks him out. Frank tries to calm Leonard down unsuccessfully.

Suddenly the group hears a baby crying somewhere in the house and they head off looking for the source. While looking around, Leonard swings his pick axe and some lab equipment, but is shocked by some electricity and passes out. Frank hears a familiar thud and turns the corner and sees a woman. She lunges forward and pushes Frank into a nearby mirrored box. Frank's consciousness is somehow separated from Eliza's body and he fades from existence.

Later, Leonard wakes up to find that he's tied up next to Nigel. The unknown woman kills Nigel with his pick axe and then hands Leonard a knife. She throws herself onto the knife repeatedly. Leonard has some sort of mental break. Sometime afterwards, the police arrive, but he is unable to communicate with them. He eventually finds himself in a padded room.

Elsewhere, Evie wakes up in her son's school. She tries to talk to the staff, but they don't seem to see or hear her. unable to interact with anyone, Evie decides to follow a man named Jack Thompson. While she's watching Jack, Evie sees another woman. The woman recognizes Evie and tells her that they are both stuck in the mind of Cthulhu and need to escape.

Episode 22 - A Hysterical Dragonborn

Welcome to another action packed episode of Drunks and Dragons! When we last left our heroes there was a strange ticking noise coming from Thom’s head… What could this mean for our group? Found out who lives and who dies in "A Hysterical Dragonborn."

## **Story**

Thom the Dragonborn immediately starts panicking at the buzzing in his head and starts running in any direction hoping for doctors. Trant Thumble forbids the party from seeing Fennekin and directs them to the west wing where there are clerics of Bane. The party successfully herds Thom to the west wing where they find that only a cleric of Erathis could help Thom. The party makes their way to the Temple of Erathis of which Fennekin is the head. They narrowly avoid letting Thom's head blow up but luckily Aludra crits on the last roll and Fennekin stops the buzzing.

Fennekin informs the party that he could permanently deactivate the devices in their heads but first they need to get him The Orb of Endless Power, The Whip of Binding, and The Brazier of Worlds.

## Episode Synopsis

This time on Cthulhu and friends…

Leonard attacks Johnny to take his mirrored box. A struggle ensues and ends with Evie putting a pickaxe through Johnny's throat. After disposing of his body, the new box starts knocking repeatedly and water begins to seep out. Fearing the worst, Frank hurls an open box at Evie who is holding the newest mirrored box. The boxes begin floating in a circle and emit a powerful force that renders the group unconscious. When Evie and Leonard wake up the next day, they find Frank half-dead from hypothermia. They rush out of town to a nearby clinic. Evie hears the thud and opens a box to find a bottle of pills which she opens. Suddenly the feel of electricity shoots out of the bottle. Evie tries to close the bottle, but burns a hole through her hand. Leonard tries to disarm Evie by smacking her hand with the pickaxe, but the electricity stops right before he hits her. Evie faints and out of the burn wound on her hand a small figure appears. It slowly grows into a person with red hair.

This time on Cthulhu and Friends…

Emmett, a powerful politician’s son, awakes in a cell with his accomplice Riley, a smuggler. After racking her brain Riley recalls being apprehended for smuggling paper the night before. Erik, the station’s head of security, announces that he has obtained a confession, and that Emmett isn’t getting away from him this time.

Eddie Mason hears that his friend has been put in jail, and tries to sort out the situation with Erik. Unfortunately, Erik doesn’t budge. Eddie pushes further, and Erik agrees that execution is too severe a punishment for the crime. Erik relents and places Riley under house arrest at the Mason Family complex.

Riley is moved to the Mason complex, and Lilly, Eddie’s assistant, heads to the Jail to attempt to find another way to free Emmett She confers with Luc, Emmett’s bodyguard. With no other way to save his friend Eddie contacts his father, Warren, and talks him into placing Emmett into stasis.

Bigby's Realm

**Bigby's Realm** was a pocket dimension that existed outside of the traditional realms we're familiar with. Create and occupied by Bigby, it was a large, strange place. It seemed to constitute itself as it was viewed, so anything you weren't looking at didn't exist, until you viewed it. At its entrance was a large gate, being guarded by a warforged bearing the resemblance of River Grey.

Years in the past, Bigby, along with his adventuring team (including River), fought and defeated a Tarrasque. Instead of killing it, Bigby cast a *Plane Shift* spell on the creature's heart, banishing it to his Realm. Years later, the Tarrasque would be freed (likely by Bigby's own *hand*), and The Tower of Grey would be tasked with stopping it. The heart of the Tarrasque still had some residual Planar magic on it, allowing the party to use it to find their way into the Realm...

## **Recent Events**

The Tower of Grey traveled here in search of Bigby. They could only access it by harvesting the heart of the Tarrasque *(Heart-vesting?)*. Upon entering they were greeted by a Warforged in the shape of River Grey. They didn't defeat it, but instead, circumvented it, to enter Bigby's Tower. Inside, they found Bigby's Lab, where they fought Celtra Wimblepuck, a clone of Celtra Wimblepuck, and a clone of Thom Vidalis. These, the Tower defeated, and found a series of tuning forks attuned to various planes of The Multiverse. They then peaced out, but not before destroying the lab.

This time on Cthulhu & Friends...

The man uses a knife to cut open the dead sacrifice, draining her blood. At that moment, Anya is sent up above the Earth and sees a being of fire named Cthuga that has come to burn the Earth. Xander, upon seeing Anya's eyes go black, goes over and touches her on the shoulder. He joins her above the Earth. After taking his hand off her shoulder he returns back to the Earth where he decides it is time to assemble the artifacts.

After a moment, Anya returns and joins Xander and Jack in assembling the artifcats. Erik killed the man who sacrificed the woman. Anya hears some scratching in the kitchen and opens the door, which lets a large Saint Bernard into the party. The Saint Bernard butts heads with her and telepathically communicates that she would protect her. After bringing the lanterns out of the bronze box, nightgaunts start trying to open the windows. The dog butts heads with Xander and tells him that it is not the place or time to do this.

After putting all the artifacts away, Erik is snatched by a nightgaunt and thrown off the building. The investigators escape out a servant door and down the stairs. Upon hearing the moaning of several zombies, they get out at the first floor (rather than the lobby). On the way out, they run into Erik who somehow landed on the first floor and cut out the power to the building. Jack heals him and the party goes off to find a car in order to escape.

After finding out that Erik has access to an FBI bunker, the party decides that is the safest place to assemble the artifacts. They make their way to the party and they deliberate whether it is time to rest or immediately assemble the artifacts. Jack decides that he wants to shower and clean up before assembling the artifacts. After going into the restroom to clean up, somehow a psychic link from Cthulhu renders him unconscious. He slips and falls in the shower. Anya screams and Xander comes running.

Episode 14 - Dreams of Dragons

Imagine, if you can, waking up in a desert and fighting to survive the night. This is the situation our adventurers found themselves in. We have mentioned our “dream sequence” episode in the past and we glad to finally release it! We are joined by a new friend and get to fight a terrifying new foe.

## **Story**

### Long Story

After falling asleep at a tavern, Tum "Darkblade" Thumble, Thom the Dragonborn, and Aludra the Dwarf wake up in a barren desert not knowing where Junpei Iori is. A handsome young elvish man appears out of nowhere and announces himself as Aelar. Aelar claims that Junpei is in grave danger. The adventurers must save him, or he will surely be eaten!

The adventures discover Junpei tied to a post, obviously unconscious, with a snarling Young Brown Dragon stalking behind him. They roll for initiative. After Aelar professionally fires off a fountain of flame, the dragon dangerously breathes a stream of sand over the party. After several rounds, Junpei comes to. The dazed dragon reels, and Junpei uses his trademark Mage Hand to free himself. The adventurers discover once again that math is difficult. Just when it draws close to bed time, Thom lands a fierce killing blow.

Nearby, a rooster crows. The adventurers awaken, unharmed, and shake off the dream. However, they cannot explain why there is sand in their underwear

### Short

The adventurers have a strange dream, where a dragon hunter named Aelar tells them that Junpei is in danger. They fight a dragon that has captured him, and defeat it. Then they all wake up with sand in their underwear.

## **Trivia**

* First appearance of Aelar, and the "sand in the underwear" goof

## Episode Synopsis

This time on Cthulhu and Friends...

Our investigators are questioning Akmahl the demonologist. Akmahl is unable to answer the group’s questions, so they head into a conference to discuss what to do next. Anya wants to assemble the artifacts; however Erik refuses to give her the key to the bronze box. Before she can argue any further Vaeda comes into the room. Vaeda pleads for the party to help Jack. After a display of force, Anya gives away the box. Erik levels with Vaeda and decides to hand over the key. A short while after Vaeda leaves a large explosion rocks the University. The party rushes towards the blast site.

While running out of the building, Anya is pulled into a room. Erik continues towards the blast, but Xander doubles back. Erik finds the artifacts assembled in the courtyard, and sees Vaeda ascending the light bridge with a body. Erik yells out and pleads for help from the Captain of the white ship. The Captain is able to retract the light bridge, and Vaeda falls back to the ground. In the sky there is a large fireball streaking towards the ground, and a blue orb of light coming from the horizon.

Anya goes into pre-term labor, and shockingly delivers two stillborn kittens with the assistance of a ghoul midwife. The ghoul is unable to resist feasting on the dead kittens. Anja shocked from the experience shoots the ghoul. Xander finds Anya, but is unable to comprehend what happened. And that is where we left our investigators.

Episode 12 - Not Quite Through the Woods

To make up for the lack of a battle in last week’s Drunks and Dragons we fight for a really long time this episode. Like always, we go back and forth between dying and exploding the enemies with reckless abandon. Close your eyes and let the sounds of battle wash over you. Be sure to listen to the end since some pretty crazy cliff hangers occur.

## **Story**

### Long Story

Bolstered by their new abilities, Aludra the Dwarf, Tum Darkblade, Junpei Iori and Thom the Dragonborn hastily arm themselves to face the sudden orc attack. As arrows begin to fly, Junpei accuses Thom of sleeping while on watch, making the group an easy target for their foes. Thom bristles at the slight to his honor and turns his anger on the orcs, launching a furious attack. It brings no aid to Junpei though, as he is struck down by the orc archers.

Tum, Aludra and Thom press the attack against the orc witch doctor and his raiding party. As the orcs balk in the face of this ferocious charge, Thom manages to revive Junpei, but he himself is badly wounded in the process. As Junpei deploys a barrage of spells, Aludra charges the orc archers, forcing them into close combat. Their clumsy axe blows are no match for Aludra and Thom, but the desperate orcs have elected to fight to the death.

With one last vicious strike, an orc hand-axe nearly beheads Thom! Aludra intervenes and prevents his death, only to have the Dragonborn grimly exclaim it was a good day to die. As Aludra slays the final orc, the heroes wonder if the raiding party had been on their way to New Newfoundland Land to put Ballard's people to the sword. Looting the bodies of the slain creatures, the group finds twenty days-worth of rations and a purse containing eight gold pieces.

As the group leaves the battlefield, they come within sight of the port town of Mastwick. Approaching the gate, they discover the entry tax for the town costs more gold than they have. As they decide what to do next, one of the gate guards unexpectedly addresses Tum as "Master Thumble," and graciously welcomes him and his friends to Mastwick.

### Short

The party is attacked by, and slays, a band of orcs, then makes it to Mastwick, where Tum Darkblade is referred to as Master Thumble by the guards.

## Episode Synopsis

This time on Cthulhu and friends…

The group is on the other side of the portal floating in space near earth. Harold turns into an odd creature with long bony spines coming out of his appendages. As they fall back down to earth, Xander gathers up the artifacts into the bronze box. 42 and Jack manage into avoid damage from the fall, but Xander and Luna aren't so lucky. As they hit the ground, Xander breaks his legs and Luna is impaled on Harold's appendages.

Suddenly a bright beam of light flashes and then Clem and Erik appear nearby. Harold transforms back into a man and opens the box. As the group gathers around the box, Cthulhu approaches and Harold goes after him with a roar. Clem tells them that the obsidian piece needs to be charged. 42 offers Mary Mason from her head, which is absorbed by the obsidian.

Suddenly the white ship appears. As the group hurries up the light bridge towards the ship, they are greeted by Mary Mason - who is now the captain. Clem jumps off the ship and emits a powerful beam of light at Cthulhu. Jack levitates and allows the ship to fly on without him and Xander. Mary then flies the ship down at the ground towards Clem and they disappear.

Jack, with Xander in his arms, floats down to the ground and makes his way towards the box. Just as they get a hand on it, so does 42 and Cthulhu.

Episode 37 - Mastwick Chronicles

Hello wonderful listeners, we welcome you back to the auditory version of the beautiful Mastwick. Yes, it is a fine little city. But, you are not here for pleasure, no this is a business trip. Perhaps you will meet a few new associates along the way. You know, Networking.

## **Story**

The party arrives in Mastwick, so much older and (debatably) wiser than the last time they were there. A greasy elf named Niles Blackwater meets them on the docks and asks them to help him find Bercy Hamhands for the Darkblades. They decide to do it, partly for the memory of Tum "Darkblade" Thumble and mostly for the money.

Niles takes them to see Hamhand's girlfriend Tilly who lives on Elm Street (maybe, somebody check that). Thom is eager to show off his door smashing skills for Niles and they burst in on Tilly, who is the worst. Thom intimidates her into submission and she tells them that she doesn't know where Hamhands is and they should go check with his coach Salty at Knuckle Punchers on Maple Street.

They head over to Knuckle Punchers and find that it is a rough and tumble gym for knuckle brawlers. Niles advises them to prove themselves in a bout before they can get information. Thom happily agrees and does fisticuffs with a burly guy. Salty approves of his fisting and asks them what they want to know about Hamhands. He tells the party that Hamhands had a hideout outside of town where he kept a bug out bag, and that he dreamed of leaving Mastwick and Tilly behind.

They head out to this shack in the night and find it completely empty. Niles disarms a trap for them but otherwise nobody has been there in a while. They find Bercy's bug out bag untouched and inside is a picture of Old Mrs. Hamhands. They find Old Mrs. Hamhands' address on Oak Street and head back to Mastwick to find her.

When they get there Niles stops Thom from immediately busting down the down and listens at the door. They hear the sounds of two people snoring behind the door.

## Episode Synopsis

This time on Cthulhu and friends…

Clem’s body disappears. Erik and Luna bed down for the night.

Early in the morning Luna wakes up and hears a helicopter. Luna gets Erik out of bed and prepares to run. Fearing for her safety, Luna sprints to her Jeep, and speeds away. Erik stays on the porch and waves at the helicopter.

Suddenly the helicopter opens fire and Erik is struck by a bullet. Herbert West rushes outside and is gunned down. Luna, hearing the gunfire drives back to pick up Erik.

Luna manages to get away from the helicopter, and pulls up to an old gas station. Luna notices the jeep is nearly out of gas, so they decide to scout out the gas station. Upon opening the service garage they find a mint condition classic car. Further inside they find a store stocked with medicines.

Luna and Erik loot the store. Within the cash register Erik notices a button. After hitting the button, a door opens revealing an office. Inside the office Erik finds a machine that continuously prints out reports. From a current report, Erik sees that Warren Mason was captured and killed.

At the West residence, Ronald and Jason pull up and see someone being removed in a body bag and loaded onto a helicopter. The unidentified helicopter people depart quickly. After positively identifying the Herbert West’s body, Jason and Ronald move inside to find the overdue books. Downstairs in the lab they find several of the books they are looking for. Jason heads back to the car to get a bag.

Once outside he notices someone hiding in the shadows. It’s a female ghoul. She is looking for Erik Miller. Jason relays that everyone from the house is dead or ran away. The ghoul is excited by the news, and says the Ghoul king, Emmett, will be pleased to hear that Miller is dead.
