Episode 263 - Too Many Legs In This Feywild Part 2

The battle rages on with new foes joining the fray. Will our heroes be able to survive? Probably, they are level 16 and have lots of options so I am not too worried. But, any set back keeps them from rescuing young Thom Harper. The lad needs help and all of us need to band together to find him. Do you know where he is?

## **Story**

### Long Story

In the woods of the Feywild, three scary Drow (1 regal looking female, two males, one of whom just changed into said Drow from a spider form) threaten our valiant heroes, The Tower of Grey. It takes forever, and there are many twists and turns, but only some of the spiders are killed. The Drow folk do a ton of damage and are hard to hit. Skud is knocked unconscious, Lahni does a ton kicks and punches, Rowan Lightning arrows some fools, and Toby finally grabs everyone except Nook Nimmlock and uses his Robe of Stars (That he got from Sinu the Red in Episode 241) to shift them all to the Astral Plane.

### Short

After nearly getting their asses handed to them by a bunch of spiders and three scary Drow, Toby teleports everyone but Nook Nimmlock to the Astral Plane.

## **Trivia**

* Nika wants the audience to tweet at her "Jade Green" in the year 2020. You know what to do. @Nika\_Howard
* Tim wants the audience to tweet at him "All Dogs *Don't* go to Heaven" in 2016. You know what to do. @TimLanning
* Michael wants the audience to tweet at him "Why are you still doing this?" in 2030. You know what to do. @ThriftyNerd
* Tim is asked when the last time he did the recap. I know! It was Episode 254 - Tower Crashers, recorded 63 days before this episode
* Skud had a weird puberty phase, resulting in him getting strangely aroused when the Drow appear
* Lahni's standard movement is 60 ft!
* This would have been the first time combat lasts more than two episodes (not counting wars such as The Battle Above the Abyss or The War of Wyrmsbane Keep). It is hell.
