## Episode Synopsis

The crew is worried about the time difference. They set up the alarms in the bedrooms and take turns on watch while they sleep in the living room. The night passes mostly uneventful, with no time variation between the alarms. After breakfast the crew heads over to City Hall. While wandering through the building the group finds a recorded voice message from Darius. In the message Darius tells them that he is entrusting them to take care of St. Paxton until he returns. The message is stopped by a dark-haired girl who introduces herself as Nighthawk.

* TRIVIA BIT ONE
* TRIVIA BIT TWO
Hammer of Sundering

**The Hammer of Sundering** was a powerful artifact introduced by Avery T'léas in Episode 110. According to her, the Hammer would instantly destroy anything it was struck against, with the side effect of destroying whoever swings it, both in soul and in body. She gave it to the then un-named Ätlän-tã Fælcons to destroy the Demon Portal that was fueling the Demon Apocalypse, and there was much discussion that followed as to who would be the one to swing the hammer.

In Episode 126 Zird the Arcane sacrificed himself using the hammer on the Twis'tar to essentially sunder the edition, bringing the world into the Fifth Edition of Magic.

Leading into The Battle Above the Abyss, they decided that it would be Aludra Wyrmsbane who would sacrifice herself to the Hammer, much to the chagrin of Jaela (the two had begun a relationship by this point). However, before the final confrontation with Fennekin, Jaela and Lord Titus Harper had a secret conversation, during which they both vowed to do whatever it took to keep Aludra from swinging the hammer. They entered Fennekin's chambers and Harper immediately offered the Hammer to him, in exchange for the party's lives. Fennekin saw through the lie, that the Hammer was a fake. This started the fight. During this fight, Aludra found herself with the Hammer, face to face with the Demon Portal. Ultimately, she couldn't bring herself to do it. She returned to Jaela, whereupon they realized that Aludra didn't even have the Hammer anyway.

Later on during the next phase of the fight, Fennekin became a giant incarnation of Orcus himself! He held the Demon Portal in his hand, and it was Thom Vidalis who was revealed to have had the Hammer. It is unknown if he meant to do what he did next, or if it was just a freak accident. He threw the Hammer, and along its arc, it struck the foot of the giant foe. A crack shot up from the point of impact, reaching the Demon Portal and destroying it, Fennekin, the Demon Apocalypse as a whole, and Thom himself...

It is also unknown what became of the Hammer following Thom's sacrifice. It is presumably destroyed, although it survived Zird's using it to destroy the Twis'tar, so it's unknown. No reference to it has been made since.

Episode 5 - A Brief Respite

The fifth gosh-dang episode!

## **"Story"**

In this episode, the group takes a break from their adventures to recount the story so far. From waking up naked on stone slabs and fighting skeletons and zombie hulks to a Mexican stand-off between Thom, some spiders and everyone else to New Newfoundland Land and the Dreadwing Behemoth, no dungeon is left un-dungeoneered. Junpei is particularly concerned the other characters may have done unspeakable things to him last week while he was petrified, but Tum, Aludra and Thom deny his accusations.

IRL (in real life), the cast and dungeon master (DM) discuss the ins and outs of producing a weekly Dungeons & Dragons podcast. Much of this discussion focuses on the developing plot and how it evolves each week. Are the chips in the character's heads actually creating a virtual world for them to explore, Matrix-style? Or are the cast members themselves the ones locked in a simulation? What would Thrifty the dungeon master think of a guest DM? And why does Thom love battle in his own particular way?

This episode also brought the first batch of listener feedback. It notably contained the first appearance of show artist Azad Injejikian, and subsequently the first, but not last, mispronunciation of his name by Tim/Tum. And apparently both Australians and people from the UK say "G"day mate!" With a dubstep outro, the cast invites their listeners to keep things dicey!

Gertrude The'arcane

**Gertrude The'arcane** was an oracle who told Queen Aludra Wyrmsbane, along with her wife Jaela, her son Bucky, and two bodyguards Chilli Manilli and Brawlgus, about a terrifying prophecy. "The circle is broken, and Elysium, Arboria, and Mount Celestia, are all in peril. The very gods themselves will be undone."

She was later revealed to be the mother of Zird the Arcane, but I refuse to go through and update his last name everywhere, because that seems like a lot of work.

Greetings Adventurers Character Template

**NAME** was a character who was involved in adventures in this way. These articles are written in the past tense, regardless of the status of the character.

## **Biography**

This is a backstory/current events section of the article. It probably won't be necessary for minor side characters that are just in one or a few episoded. Describe how the character got into the situation in which we meet them, and then describe the events of the series from this character's point of view. Any decisions made throughout the show should be highlighted, and how they felt about plot points. Be sure to try to break the story up into sub-sections, like so:

### Meeting the Ätlän-tã Fælcons

Note the use of three equal signs on either end of the sub-header. This lets the wiki know that we are still in the "Biography" section, and creates a .1 subsection called "Meeting the Ätlän-tã Fælcons". This helps break up the biography up into "chapters" so that they aren't a wall of text. Probably not necessary on smaller characters

Frank Ubell

No facial hair
Short, and wore a short sleeved dress shirt with a tie
Spoke with a nerdy, Zird-like voice
Had eczema
Slightly damp at all times for some reason
Wore white loafers

**Frank Ubell** was a member of Ferrim Pecunia, the bank of Pelor's Hope. He followed along The Tower of Grey during their adventures to ensure that they made the proper payments accrued during construction of their tower.

During their stint in the city prison of Grull, Frank somehow found himself as the Owner? Master? Leader? of the largest man in the place, The Whale. The circumstances allowing for this, are currently unknown. That situation ended when Lahni Caplain knocked out the Whale, and then Bercy Hamhands knocked out Frank! He was fine, though. Later, the party found Frank as a captive in the prison, being held in a magical suit of armor that caused him great pain. The armor fought the party, but they were able to defeat it and free Frank.

Later on, the party escaped from Grull, and went to talk to Ioun, goddess of knowledge, about The Orb. They learned that one of the location they were being shown on the Orb was the headquarters of Ferrim Pecunia, located in the first layer of the Nine Hells. This was a shock to Frank, as he believed the headquarters to be in Pelor's Hope.

He got over it, though. Later, Toby Treacletart was cursed by Vecna and then cured. He decided to leave the Tower of Grey, fearing Vecna would come for him for revenge. Rowan Grey was reluctant to take full command of the Tower, but Frank subtly implied that it would in fact be him running the show.

Hank

**Hank, the Draft Horse** was a horse that Skud Derringer bought. Bay of color, and giant of hoove, Hank was described as a "Horse Daddy". I shudder to think at what that could mean, so I won't.

## **Recent Events**

Skud bought this horse, for some reason, while the party was hanging out in The Crossroads, preparing to enter Bigby's Realm. Despite going to fight Bigby, a powerful and dangerous wizard, Skud decided to bring his new, probably non-magical horse along with them.
Gold Bone Coin

The **Gold Bone Coin** was rare item that would allow the wielder to challenge the four Masters of the game Bones. It is unclear how many of these exist in the world. It had a small skull on it.

## **Recent Events**

Master Alder gave Skud Derringer this coin after saving his life from The Skull Bandits in the Monastery of Uthgar. He later saw a tournament of hundreds of trainers all battling together, and learned from Dodge Grabbit that they were fighting to win one of those coins, which would allow them the challenge the Masters. The fact that Skud had one, without having to enter this tournament, was of great surprise to Dodge.

## **Notable Owners**

* Master Alder
* Skud Derringer - *current*

## **Trivia**

* Could be said to have been modelled after the Iron Coin given to [REDACTED] in the hit tv show [REDACTED]. See the accompanying podcast, Cast of Thrones to learn more

Fennekin's Fortress

Fennekin's Fortress was created by Fennekin sometime after the start of the Demon Apocalypse and before the then un-named Ätlän-tã Fælcons awoke from their resurrection by Erathis. Where Caer used to be is now consumed by a ten mile wide undulating rift into the abyss that has swallowed every feature of the countryside. In the very center of the portal rests a black egg-like sphere, the size of a stronghold or castle - barely a dot in the middle of the abyss portal from which Demons emerge non-stop.

Greetings Adventurers

**Greetings, Adventurers!** is a weekly, 5th Edition, Actual Play, Dungeons and Dragons podcast. Set in the fictional world of Drunkeros, *Greetings, Adventurers!* is a comedic take on the classic role playing game, focusing on improvisation and entertainment, instead of rules and rigidity. Except for a few special episodes, the entire series has been run masterfully by Michael DiMauro. Along with Cast of Thrones, *Greetings, Adventurers!* constitutes one of the two first and most notable podcasts on the Geekly Inc network.

### **Players**

The current cast of players and characters is as follows:

* Michael DiMauro - *Dungeon Master*
* Tim Lanning
* Jennifer Cheek
* Nika Howard
* Mike Bachmann
* **(Former)** Steven Strom

### **History**

The idea for the series was born when Michael DiMauro, once and future DM, tweeted out a picture of some D&D books he found in his father's attic, whereupon Steven Strom responded that they should play together. This conversation grew to include Michael's friend Tim Lanning and his wife Jennifer Cheek, as well as other guy Mike Bachmann.

The first episode was recorded on October 31, 2012 (that's Halloween Night, fyi), and was released November 12, 2012. Due to the date of the initial recording, the first episode a rather spooky vibe to it, which would prove to be somewhat uncharacteristic of the rest of the show's tone. Due to the year of the initial recording, the current version of D&D at the time was 4th edition, so that was the version of the game that the show was first run in. However, during Episode 127, the in-game continuity was shifted over to 5th edition, with each character being modified to fit the new rule-set.

During Episode 31, founding cast member Steven Strom left the show, his character making a similar exit in-game. Following this, there were only three players, a dynamic that lasted until Episode 81. During this live show, a new cast member, Nika Howard, joined the party. She has been on the podcast ever since, and is a perfect fit for the show.

For the first two episodes, the show was named *Drunkards and Dragons*; however, starting with Episode 3, the name changed to *Drunks and Dragons*. It was an amazing, and iconic name (and helped the cast secure such valuable domains, such as their Twitter handle: @dndpodcast). However, due to issues with sponsorships, and to be viewed in a more reputable light, the name was changed again to *Greetings, Adventurers!* starting with Episode 315. It's a great name for a great show, I think.

The show ran it's first campaign from the first episode, all the way until Episode 427, which aired on October 18, 2021. This concluded Campaign 1, and after a brief mini-series called Leviathan (ran by guest DM Fred Greenleaf), the second campaign began on January 17, 2022. Set in the same universe as the first campagin, but separated by time and distance, this new campaign introduces us to new adventurers, new locations, and new status quos. But the love is just the same as it's always been.

Episode 60 - Hello, Mr. Vidalis

With the crew mostly, and monstrously, confused about just what the heck is going on with their trip to House Vidalis they are some how bombarded with even more insanity. Just what is happening in this strange land? Is it bewitchment or something more sinister? Stay tuned on this podcast feed to find out!

## **Story**

Reeling from revelation that Thom is apparently the lord of House Vidalis the party asks Thed Vidalis to take them to House Vidalis. They discuss it a little bit and Harper reveals more of his weird fetish for lizard lions. Thrifty talks mad shit about the South and Jennifer totally calls him on it. Eventually they head off through the swamps on special swamp sleds because the wagon won't go through the swamp. While traveling through the swamp they meet a highly intelligent monkey named Abu who travels with them and talks like a game show host. Then we all remember that the party used to have a hamster named Space.

Thed challenges them to a race through the swamp which kicks off a skill challenge. They completely destroy the skill challenge and arrive at House Vidalis where somebody tells Thom he's supposed to be making a speech soon. They go to the area and see somebody who looks EXACTLY like Thom on the dais. Our Thom immediately feels an immense urge to both fuck and kill this doppelganger. The other Thom makes a speech about attacking Pelor's Hope, pulls out his own Blood Drinker and reveals his special soldiers: a dozen clones of himself. Everybody's jaws drop so hard that it caused an earthquake in Peru that killed four people.

Episode 82 - Pelor's Hope

What is wrong with the world when we are its final and best hope for survival? Well, questions like that tend to hurt one’s head, so let’s just focus on the “how” of saving the world and avoid the “Oh God Why” for the time being. We are greeted with a brand new adventurer to assist us in our quest! The wait is finally over, we are joined by Nika Howard who is playing Jaela the Deva Avenger. Things are going to get much more dicey, in a purple, halberd wielding, religious way!

## **Story**

The show starts off just by introducing the characters and describing their paragon paths and whatnot. The most important part is that we introduce Jaela, the new character played by Nika Howard. Jaela is a Deva Avenger and we learn that she is from a city far to the east called Yangahr. They have lots of festival dragons and presumably eat their food with chopsticks. There is also a pretty intense discussion about Harper's new muscles and dick abs.

They discuss what they're going to do next, having a whole wide world of demons ahead of them. Jaela suggest they find the Demonomicon to help with their fight against demons. Jaela buys them some beers and food, while being super adorable the whole time. She also rents a room for them, but they all need to share a bed. Everybody is super into that.

Episode 68 - Over Hydrated

Hello dear listeners! I don’t even have to say that things in this episode get dicey. After the cliffhanger of an ending last week there isn’t a universe where things don’t get dicey. Maybe the diceyness will leave you asking yourself more questions than you would prefer. That is okay. It is all apart of the audio art that is Drunks and Dragons. Challenge yourself and really listen to our pain. You will be glad you did.

## **Story**

Aludra and Thom wait out the night at camp wondering if the Brazier of Worlds will return. They can hear the sounds of it but sometime in the night a griffon appears and flies away from them. Aludra and Thom pursue it on their own griffons, convinced that they see Harper riding it. Thom and Aludra masterfully maneuver their griffons to catch up with Harper.

Just as Aludra and Thom catch up with Harper a giant monster head bursts out of the trees and drags Harper down. Thom and Aludra discuss whether they should actually help him, but decide they at least need to get the Brazier back. Below the trees they find Harper in a clearing with a mighty 4 headed Hydra. Harper is fighting for his life trying to get away. He promises to tell them the truth if they help him kill the Hydra.

This fight breaks bad for them pretty hard. Aludra takes a massive amount of damage, enough to almost kill her. The Hydra beats the shit out of them and we end on a cliffhanger.

Glitterhold

**Glitterhold** was the name of the Gnomish afterlife/plane dimension. It was ruled over by Garl Glittergold, and seemed to be the place that Gnome souls ended up after death.

## **Recent Events**

After Toby Treacletart died attempting to get into the lower vault of the bank of Ferrim Pecunia, in The Nine Hells, he was sent to **Glitterhold**, where he met Garl. Garl gave Toby a hint as to how he could get into the vault in a more successful way, and then sent his soul back down, into a clone that Toby had prepared.
Geremy

**Geremy** was a Svirfneblin living in the Underdark, in the tunnels surrounding Mineford. He spent his days fishing in various pits and ravines. One day, T'Chuck fell into a ravine he was fishing in, and got hurt. Geremy fixed him up, and followed him back to Mineford. There, he became the town fisherman, and helped in the town's reconstruction.

Geremy was described as very strong, despite being only 3 feet tall. His skin was slate colored, but he had streaks of lighter, charcoal/ashy areas on his skin, including on his sunken in cheeks.

Episode 77 - The Temple of Ghostly Evil Part 6

Michael “Thrifty Nerd” DiMauro described it best – “the best part of the latest DnD episode is the first 20 minutes where nothing happens and Harper hears a mouse.” I think that sums it up.

The party fights a beholder. It's pretty tough. Harper almost dies.

Episode 56 - The Dog Park

We were told not to look at the dog park. We were told not to go into the dog park. We were told to not even think about the dog park. We did not follow those warnings. No, we plunged head first into this newest challenge to attempt to save the most important thing to our small lives: Bucky.

## **Story**

The gang enters the Dog park and finds that it's a lot bigger on the inside. They look around and run into two hooded figures and proceed to fight them. The figures prove to be worthy foes, one dominates Aludra and forces her to attack the others. They defeat these two and start to use the crystal tripod that Carlos gave them to find the ideal part of the dog park to set it up. It reacts more strongly the closer they get to a sort of magical funnel that goes up to the sky. There is a circular shape in the dirt surrounded by four more circles. They need to set up the tripod in the middle while also using the four other crystals in the other circles. But at this point hooded figures appear and attack. These hooded figures are a bit different, they have a nasty habit of splitting into two rather than dying. The party eventually realizes that they need to set up the tripod while in combat. It takes a bit of maneuvering but they figure it out. The glow cloud is destroyed and the hooded figures with it. Bucky is freed and Lex gives him her dagger as a present.

## **Trivia**

* Harper has a mom
* Harper's mother sang the following song to him: *"Its been one week since I used that skill sang this song and now I have Skulls Orah"*
* Lex gives Bucky her dagger as a present

Girl

**Girl** is the name of the female player who, as of Episode 81 - The Live Show, gets to play two characters!

Actually a goof the listeners of the Greetings Adventurers podcast came up with, which revolved around the idea that Jennifer Cheek and Nika Howard are, in fact, the same person, sometimes using different voices, depending on who you ask. First brought into the podcast in Episode 86 - The Council of Eight.
Griff

**Griff** was a goblin living in Mineford, serving as the town brewer. Years before the events of the show, Griff and his family were a happy group of goblins living in the settlement. After town leader Ratma Ritmo left, there was no one to watch over the town and keep them safe. Because of this, a wicked Drider moved in, and began using the tunnels around Mineford as his personal hunting grounds. Griff's family was killed by the Drider, and Griff, along with the other survivors of the town, were forced to go on the run. Years later (current times), Griff made a new friend, Kitten, a large mushroom-folk. The two ran into T'Chuck, R'Oarc, Selene von Esper, and Screech Echo, who told them that Ratma Ritmo had returned to Mineford, and that the Drider was dead. They agreed to return to Mineford, where Griff would resume work as brewer once again.

Griff new where all the best freshwater sources were, and had even found a hot spring nearby for anyone to enjoy.
