The story

*Who wants a recap?* - AJ

## Prologue

### Year 0 (The Pre Podcast Years)

* Somewhere in Wildemount a tavern burns down and, coincidentally, a gnome, a crocoborn, a half-orc and a human priest meet. They are rapidly tasked by the city constabulary with a simple sanitation management task. One fatality.

Sometime after, the gang reassemble for a trip to sunny Port Damali looking for Aristobulus who has gone missing.

A close friend is kidnapped by a treetop Tabaxi gang.

The gang rescues a bulette who turns out to be a foul-mouthed tiefling druid. You may have heard of her.

## Campaign 1

### Year 1

#### Orbs of Tartarus (Ep. 6 - 10)

The gang hunt down the Orbs of Tartarus, winding up at a crumbling old cathedral in the Ruins of Molaesmyr, Hunarsh poops in a well. They bring the orbs back to Tessarion. Some elves die. A horse-drawn carriage is stolen. A journey begins.

### Year 2

#### Journey to Palebank Village (Ep. 1 2 - 20)

From there they travel north into the Greyling Wildlands and have a fun shopping episode in the Dwarven city of Uthodurn. A goat is left unharmed and no one falls to their death.

Arriving late, the gang discover a massacre has taken place in Palebank Village. In a Very Special Episode, Tatty comes to face with his nemesis Skaal and a militia of violent gnomes. Also, a cow is milked.

#### Crime & Punishment: The Prison Arc (Ep. 21 - 36)

Following a summoning circle accident the gang are imprisoned in Uthodurn and put on trial. Found guilty (unsurprisingly) they are sent to Nutbush Penitentiary, finding new friends and wonderful prison gangs. On behalf of an elderly man Webbly Pebbles and a Kenku called Squawk they try to steal the warden's haemmorhoid cream. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

Aristobulus discovers the wonders of sweetcorn.

Deciding that the prison walls cannot hold such dipshittery, the authorities decide to release our gang.

#### The Four Emmentals (Ep. 38 - 60)

In Port Zoon, the gang are tasked with tracking down four (or is it five?) mysterious cheeses, the Emmentals.

An old friend, James P. Jibberstop, returns. The gang must rescue their pets from the city pound, where Belciar rescues Cato the crow. Tatty encounters a fatberg. Another mysterious fire occurs as our intrepid adventurers are once again forced to flee the city and hide in the countryside. Some orcs die.

Down into Hoggle Hole the gang make friends with the fishy Kuo Toans and retrieve their first emmental. Marvin the goat joins Maud as her sworn ward. A tragic story plays out at Musty Meadows Farmstead.

Back in sunny Nicodranas the gang charter Captain Dutch Nuggets and the HMS Rust Bucket for a trip into the eye of El Bastardo to find another of the emmentals. Thwarting a mutiny, our adventurers throw themselves into a dragon turtle, where there is some confusion around reproductive anatomy, before washing up with their cheesy prize on the shores of Nicodranas. A dragon turtle dies.

### Year 3

#### Emmentals Galore (Ep. 61 - 101)

While the city weeps over a terrible environmental disaster, it's time for a shopping episode! Love blossoms between Belciar and eligible bachelor Al Garundi. In an unrelated incident, a magic shop burns down.

Fleeing yet another city, the gang make their way to Wixley Manor. A beloved member of the group dies tragically in a fall. The gang help the manor goblins unionise and the workers seize the means of production. Hunarsh becomes a bandleader. Maud makes friends with Keith the sugar glider. A lawn party is ruined.

On their way to buy a boat, our adventurers happen across a fertility festival in the village of Skanksly. A mysterious person - pale, doesn't like sunlight, not a garlic fan, won't come into your house unless invited, hates running water, not saying they're a vampire but they're a bit bitey if you know what I mean - is biting people. A well-performed autopsy takes place. There's more shopping.

The gang achieve a life dream and buy a boat on their quest for the final emmental. On the Lady Luck they set sail for the ocean city of Maritopia. A shark commits genocide. Hunarsh and Belciar take a turn for the worse.

Leaving Maritopia the party of adventuers set sail in the direction of the Everplume Underwater Volcano in search of the third Emmental. They arrive in time for it to erupt releasing a particularly grumpy golden dragon. It appears the dragon is sporting the Fire Emmental in its chest scales.

The dragon flies off in the direction of Maritopia. A hot chase ensures. Maritopia comes under siege. Our Heros arrive and dispatch the dragon and gain the third emmental. But not before Tatty is burnt to a crisp.

#### The Final Emmental (Ep 102 -)

Tatty is resurrected a crispy burnt mess. The party set sail for the Diver's Grave in search of the final Emmental. Much amateur sailing is achieved as they finally arrive at the hulk of a half-sunken galleon. The ship is explored revealing ghostly goings on.
