### **Opening Text**

*"It finally happened...A player character death. Too bad it wasn't Markus. Did I say that out loud? I mean, it was kinda cheap anyways...Evil Jim Jam didn't even make it...Krag yelling...Quigley charging..Alex stabbing...Leera in #Leeraland...And Markus doing...whatever. So, I guess it doesn't really count. Tell Jim who you want him to kill. Maybe he'll listen to you. This is Episode 20...Of...Buckler Bobsled. Dragons and Things.*

### **When Last We Met**

Jim: *"In the deadly Darklands,*

*Leera: "We're in the Darklands?"*

*Jim:* *the party has been working to track down a stolen artifact capable of controlling the mighty Daralaxitran so that she can be used as a living weapon against the shadow army seeking to invade the realms. To that end, they have teamed up with a deep gnome named Flin, a shaky alliance that is aggravated by some differences of opinion on what constitutes right and wrong. The svirfneblin, as they call themselves, have a vested interest in getting this powerful artifact out of the Darklands before it can be used to tip the balance of power between the other underground kingdoms, the Duergar and the Derro. If either one could destroy or subjugate the other, it would spell disaster for the Svirfneblin, who use the current conflicts as a sort of buffer to keep attention off themselves.*

*Flin* *offered two routes. Travel the Long Walk, patrolled by Duergar slavers or seek out the elusive Mongrelmen and ask for help executing a more subtle mission. The party chose to seek the mongrelmen, but as promised, neither option was exactly safe. The heroes stumbled upon a hungry fog that nearly dissolved them in its blinding plumes, and shortly afterward were confronted with the moral quandary of preserving their secrecy, or confronting Duergar slavers escorting prisoners. Despite Flin’s desperate insistence, Sir Quigley could not allow these slavers to pass unchallenged, and a fierce battle ensued. The heroes were victorious, and the slaves were freed, though Flin maintains that they are far from saved down in the lightless depths.*

*That is where we join you now. The battle has been won, and Flin is insistent that you must move now, as surely scavengers have already smelled the blood and will be arriving soon to claim what they can.*

*However, it has been pointed out by some members of the group that staying a while to collect the treasure, may be a better option in the long run.* *What do you do?"*
