That dastardly Strahd; he tricked us! Inviting our poor unsuspecting party to dinner at his castle then releasing gargoyles on us. He is going to get such a poor rating on Yelp! after this. Definitely nothing above three stars … I mean the food was very very good.

Show Notes

0:04:30-GARGOYLES!

0:11:30-RUN AWAY!

0:17:00-Nor shows off his bardic skills on an organ and gets the group out of the dining room

0:27:30-Hey look, an encounter as we traverse the castle; completely unexpected.

0:40:30-The bone room. Not a euphemism

0:48:00-Fleck puts his lunch in a cubby hole

0:50:30-We see a shadowy figure who says we should not be where we are. It goes well.

The party reaches Neverwinter and boy is it ever a Party. A delightful day of shopping followed by a lovely river boat ride. While I think everyone enjoyed the restful day, no one, I mean NO ONE, had a better time than Weeblow. But we know rest is short lived for these adventures, so let's see what happens!

Show Notes

0:00:00-The party makes it to Neverwinter and shops! GIRL POWER!

0:05:50-Olga is recommended to the party to sell their weapons. A female dwarf…

0:22:05-Now it is Audomon’s turn

0:23:20-Off to the jeweler

0:33:50-Off to the docks to get a boat from Captain Razor

0:40:20-Weeblow lets his sailor friend Sam know of his daliances and then disaster strikes!

0:45:20-Sam Facesplitter is no more! Let the battle begin.

1:15:50-Let the battle begin again!

1:24:20-Hey look bandits (yells Audomon for some reason that makes no sense).

So Nor’s reign as burgermaster of Valikai is over but I think his legacy will be felt for a long time. Any butts, I doubt the party is going to stick around much longer as they have some hags to harass and Fleck has some dream pastries to eat. Sweet innocence filled dream pastries.

Show Notes

0:02:30-The party does some shopping in downtown Valikai

0:20:00-Going to the inn for brunch

0:37:45-The party tries to speak to the dead to Luther and it doesn’t work! GASP!

0:51:00-Goin to the ol’ Bonegrinderrr…ah shit a black carriage

0:57:30-Into the Castle of Strahd

Even though the day is won, there is no rest for our heroes, well there is a little rest, BUT THEN straight to Neverwinter to gear up for whatever may come next. But this will be no leisurely hike as the party will meet many trials on there way to the city.

Show Notes

0:05:50-Cliff takes a bit to remember about previous players

0:08:50-The party discusses how to get to Baldurs Gate and shops

0:25:50-Off to Neverwinter to catch a boat and run into three snotty paladins

0:35:05-Xod scares the shit out of some bandits

0:37:20-Three ogres attack on this road. This unsafe fudging road.

0:43:20-Rodney learns what a dick puppet is

Greetings Adventurers! The party has left Krezk and is nearly to Valikai. When we last left the town Nor, the kind hearted and wise Burgermaster that he is, had invited the Dusk Elves into the town and tasked them with the rebuilding of the Burgermaster's mansion. As the party approached town they see no smoke and hear no screams so that must mean everything is going well! Let us follow our adventurers as they head into town into what will surely be a relaxing and fulfilling visit.

Show Notes

0:03:40-Into Valikai and to the church…people are not happy

0:15:10-Lady Watcher is still doing well

0:20:40-Back to the coffin maker’s house. Is it still his house? He’s been dead for a while now.

0:30:40-Oh my Morning Lord vampire spawn! We had no idea they’d be here.

1:24:10-The party realizes maybe they don’t try to take on a pack of 10 vampire spawn after fighting these 6

The party has done it they have defeated the The Black Spider and are cleaning out the remaining baddies in Wave Echo cavern, but all is not well and good in Phandalin where the party meets an old friend in a -not so happy- reunion.

Show Notes

00:00-Into the last room of the cavern without a care. The party finds ghouls.

19:42-Picking up Nundro on the way out and back to Phandalin

21:12-We try to cast silence on the DM to cancel the exposition but it doesn’t work

34:42-Exposition continues because this part of the campaign is ending

The party has successfully navigated the abbey without immediately alerting the abbey to the theft of hundreds of gold worth of items and a book on Strahd. They wisely have decided to camp outside of town and have the whole land of Barovia open to them. Time to see where they and their new companion Esmerelda go.

Show Notes

0:02:30-The party takes a look at the book of Moving The Plot Forward

0:13:30-Off to Van Rickton’s Tower

0:22:30-Hey look a puzzle

0:31:30-The party makes Fleck climb some rickety scaffolding

0:38:30-Rhogar doesn’t listen and approaches a suit of armor which of course comes alive.

0:47:00-Exposition time

0:59:30-Off to Valikai with only one annoying encounter

1:17:30-The Dick Mouth Adventurers are born!

The party continues to trudge through the evils of Wave Echo cavern, a bit too easily for my liking. There seems to be nothing I can throw in their way that causes even a slight inconvenience. I literally

end a battle in disgust in this episode. Whatever, I will kill them in another adventure.

I HAVE KILLED CHARACTERS BEFORE.

Show Notes

03:50-Fighting the wraith thing because Xod called his house a shithole

09:20-Big Bean berates the party for winning

14:50-The party finds a map and lots of loot

29:50-Into the bellows room and there is bad stuff! AH!

38:50-Glenn gets to use channel divinity for the first time. It goes as well as expected.

46:35-Big Bean calls the battle to everyone’s delight

Punishment Shots

30:20-Big Bean

Somehow Rhogar is making Luther seem compassionate…flippin lawful good weirdo. Oh well; the party is going to continue quote sneaking unquote through the abbey…lets hope the abbot isn’t randomly in the next room at 3 in the morning…WHOOPSIE.

Show Notes

0:01:30-With the bat spider person

0:05:30-Meeting a wo-man and a very handsome man

0:29:30-We get to use illusion magic! FINALLY!

0:52:00-A woman gestures to Rhogar; he is not subtle.

0:57:30-The party gets to walk around the abbey without a chaperone.

1:20:00-We very clearly meet a ma’am called Esmerelda

1:32:30-Shut up MELTY!

1:40:30-The party assaults a small child with questions about death

This is the Beginning of the end of a new beginning

or is it the end of the beginning of an old end, regardless the party draws nearer to the conclusion of the adventure and once again Audomon delights us with dangerously under thought and complex combat tactics. Lets see how it works out!

Show Notes

0:00:00-The players go over where we all have been on the map.

0:04:55-Nundro lets the party know about whats left in the dungeon

0:13:55-The party plays with a hole

0:22:55-Bugbear and drow vs the party in a river fight!

0:33:55-Audomon makes a very questionable choice to everyone’s delight

1:12:55-The party runs into a Beholder! Oh wait, Audomon is not a good source of information.

1:27:55-Into a pretty glittering cavern. Audomon makess a very questionable choice.

Punishment Shot

0:45:15-Big Bean

0:58:55-Cliff
