*The Stormchasers (and an army of allies) begin their great hunt for the Titan of Land, Stonemaw!*

## **Summary**

### **Announcements**

* Mark Introduces everyone and introduces the players.
* This week was Mark’s 37th birthday (10th February).
* There will be more High Rollers and High Rollers adjacent content this week! Starting on Wednesday 15th at 6pm GMT, the High Rollers will be playing Warhammer Fantasy 4e by Cubicle 7 Games. The character creation session was recorded and is currently available on Twitch but after that expires, it will only be viewable by Patreon and You Tube members. Katie decided to sit this one out because it is a more brutal system, and she would rather her character does not die.
* Each game will be a micro campaign with only a few episodes. Katie and the rest of the players will be swapping in and out of the extra games with different systems. There will be guests from non-HR people who come in depending on who is available and whether they are interested in that system.
* Mark and Rhi will be playing in a new short campaign called Fury of the Black Rose DM’d by B Dave Walters (@BDaveWalters) on the Idle Champions Twitch channel. They will be joined by Ellen (@Icklnellierose) and Johnny (@Johnneh) from Oxventure as well as Gabe Hicks (@GabeJamesGames). The first episode will be on Monday 20th Feb from 6pm-9pm GMT. The campaign is a 6 episode Dragonlance special micro-campaign. Rhi will be playing a levelled-down Sentry in the campaign, and Mark will be playing a character.
* It was announced at the end of the stream that this episode had been pre-recorded.

### **Recap**

*"Last time, the Champions found themselves in the Burrowfolk town of Starwatch Rise during a festival, the Festival of New Stars. As they wait for their allies to prepare for the Great Hunt over the beasts of Atelicus, the party enjoyed the festival – they helped clean up some rooms and clear out some dark spirits, they helped to collect some vegetables and preserve them from the Dash Hogs that were chasing after them, they met with some old allies such as the Wild Elves and various Burrowfolk, they participated in an ongoing festival of scaring away an evil wolf spirit, Lucius scared some children… it was your general, typical Champions of Aerois shananigans. It all culminated in a lovely festival sending off these floating paper lanterns up to the Astral Sea to celebrate the past and the deceased."*
