Our adventurers delve into the temple of The Black Earth Cult and come across a group of cultists in short order and Pellan attempts a peaceful approach (he's new here).  Battle ensues and they quickly find themselves getting their asses kicked by a land shark (doo doo doo doo) and take a page from the Knights of the Round Table and....RUN AWAY! (0/2 against cultists for those keeping score at home).

Our band of intrepid heroes show how incredibly suspicious they are of dirt, squish a big bug, and wander into the Black Earth Temple where they are promptly welcomed accordingly. (Oh and their new friend ran off to escort the rescued prisoners from last week but through podcast magic he'll hopefully be back next week).  

The group has a rematch against that blind chick, finds a lich, makes an important discovery and makes a new friend....it was a good day.  Also apologies for the shorter episode, technology is smarter than our DM who's in charge of hitting the record button and making sure it stays recording.

The party continues to explore the monastery and they meet a blind woman that proceeds to kick almost everyone's ass.  Then Shi'Thead decides to make matters worse, because of course he does.

Cry havoc and whatnot! Through Shi'Thead's *cough* ingenuity (aka killing spree), the party gains entry to the monastery through the kitchen and begin trying to figure out what in tarnation the monks are up to, which they discover thanks to the fine investigative work of Arthur (aka common sense and literacy skills).  Also, we learn that a few members of the party might be lying about their alignments.

The group continues on their journey  (feels like its been a lot longer than a couple of days, huh). Kuori and Shi'Thead discover a fun new tactic....Pocket Kobold sha-sha-shaaaaa!   Thargok meets some of his dwarven kin at the Veil of Dancing Waters, which is about as productive of a meeting as you would expect, before they finally make it to the Sacred Stone Monastery.

The party continues on their merry way to check out the Stone Monastery (they may eventually reach Beliard.....maybe).  Shi'thead discovers a new delicacy, Kuori finds out exactly how hard he hits, and the group discusses a new epic superhero.

The party set's off towards Beliard and encounter some ankhegs, which prove no problem, and some fire happy cultists, who give the party a small idea of what they may be up against......fire bad. Fire very, very bad.

Kuori makes a friend, Akira gets drunk, the largest and smallest guys sneakily ransack the tower during a feast.....oh and the party hunts a manticore.

Our merry band of heroes gather to begin their shenanigans.....I mean adventure to discover what happened to the delegation from Mirabar.
