Dead Jester Productions Podcast

Sitting around the campfire, the heroes regain their strength and enjoy a warm meal. They elate in no longer being trapped in the marsh. Relaxing, they look forward to the easier travel before them. The fields in front of them would make traversing the landscape much easier than what they had just come through.

In the distance, small lights dot the landscape where towns lay in the valley. The population that resided in those towns was less peasantry, and more nobility. They would have to be careful about what they said, and avoid being tricked by the gold-hungry populace.

They planned their route forward, and made note of what supplies they would need by the time they arrived at the towns. They would make only the necessary stops, and not get held up by the excitement of the people. It would be easy to get distracted by events and vendors shouting at them as they walked by, but the heroes would definitely not be tempted by any of it.

After what seemed an eternity, our heroes arrive at the edge of the marsh. They step foot onto dry land, happy to be rid of the mud that had slowed them for days. Being able to dry off would bring them comfort, and clean clothes would raise their spirits.

They set down their packs, and quickly change into dry outfits. They bundle up their muddy clothes, and throw them into a pack together. Setting up a camp, they settle down for the night to warm back up and recover their strength. They gather around the fire to keep warm, and recount their humble beginnings.

The heroes woke up to find they had been covered in a thin green film. A stench clung to their clothes, and they worried about the state of their packaged food. They opened the pouch and were pleased to see that the food hadn't spoiled. They snacked, and then cleaned up the campsite.

Begrudgingly, they stepped back down into the marsh to continue on. According to the map, they were a little over halfway through the marsh. This gave them hope that they would be able to sleep on dry ground, without fear of a horrible odor keeping them awake. They pressed forward, one muddy step after another.

Along the way, they talked about the recent news. Roe v Wade was overturned, leading to widespread outrage. Rudy Giuliani was horrifically attacked via a slight pat on the back, and the hosts provide some.... uh.... interesting dating advice.

Continuing on through the bog, the heroes trudge through mud and an overwhelming stench. As they marched onward, the mud became thicker, and the stench grew worse. The vegetation in the area was dead, wilted over in the shape of snarled fingers. The rotting corpses of animals that couldn't escape the bog lay nearly preserved under the thick, marshy ground.

The heroes were careful to watch each step they took, lest they stumble into a carcass that would suck them under. As they continued on, they spotted a raised area that appeared to be out of the mud. They found their footing and lifted themselves out of the marsh. The ground was still damp, so they placed down a barrier between the ground and their bed rolls. They set up a campfire, hoping it would burn away the odor that hung around them. It did not. Hiding away under their blankets, they talked about the pay-to-win scam that is Diablo Immortal, Season 3 of The Boys, and how the Uvalde Police Department is covering up what they did in the Robb Elementary school shooting.

The heroes say goodbye to the guard, and continue on the path out of town. They pass the remnants of a few old carriages that had broken down either due to bandit attacks, or simply given up due to weathering. Birds picked at the skeletal remains of animals that had been chased out of town, scattering as the heroes drew closer.

While the way they had ventured into the village from was mainly forested, the path they were on now quickly changed into swampland. The ground grew muddier, and a foul stench hung over their heads. The swordsman hero had anticipated this, and had acquired some cloth from the town. They covered their faces to avoid breathing in the smell, and trudged onward. As they walked, they talked about the January 6th hearings, season 3 of The Boys, and the current drama surrounding YouTuber The Act Man.

The swordsman hero leaves the hut with the woman, meeting back up with the Jester outside. They head back on the path through town, stopping to grab a bite to eat along the way. The swordsman hero purchases a few small sandwiches for the group, and watches as the woman gleefully gobbled hers down in just a few bites.

They continue on the path, and eventually come to the edge of the village. The heroes look up at what appeared to be a grotesque effigy of sorts. The pole had pieces of what could only be assumed to be the remains of the old baron affixed to it. The limbs were bent and broken, strung up hastily and without remorse. Blood pooled at the bottom of the pole, and a heavy stench enveloped the area. They were quick to continue on.

As they did, they were stopped by one of the guards they had encountered at the baron's keep. He had spoken to them when they were captives. He wished them luck on their way, and hoped to see them again. They talked about the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard verdict, the recent gun violence in the US, and the different difficulties in video games.

After ensuring he had everything he needed, the swordsman hero got everything together and headed out. He made his way to the healer's hut, and found the Jester waiting outside sitting on a stump. The swordsman hero left his things with the Jester, and made his way inside the hut.

The woman, now fully recovered, was sitting at the table eating breakfast. The old healer was laying in her bed, muttering as she slept. The woman informed the hero that she had beaten the old healer in a drinking game the prior night, and so she wasn't feeling the best. The warrior hero lay awake on the spare cot, his injury looking barely healed. He waved at his friend, but said nothing.

The swordsman hero informed the woman that it was time to leave, and she nodded in agreement. She grabbed her pack, and slid her two daggers into their sheathes on her hips. The swordsman hero could see they had been sharpened recently, perhaps the Jester's doing. She also grabbed a brand new bow from a corner. It looked exactly her size, as though made specifically for her. She noticed the hero looking at it, and told him  the Jester had made it for her. He had cut the tree down out front of the hut, and carved the bow himself over the past few days. She also donned a new set of light armor, much better than her ruined set that she had on when they found her. Stringing her cleaned up quiver over her shoulder, she readied to leave.

After the bard had finished his performances and left, the swordsman hero returned to his friend Kloss who was sitting at a different table. He explained to him the plan going forward, and how the journey would be. He laid out what he had packed, and what he thought he would need. Later in the day, he would go to the market to acquire the last few things he needed, and then they would set out.

They further talked about what had happened to the previous lord, with neither knowing what happened to the body. They figured such things were better left unknown, and moved on. They discussed the YouTube Creator Clash, the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial, as well as the crazy inflation going on in the US. They also talked about the Halo TV Show, and how Kloss would fight Elon Musk.

The swordsman hero left his friend at the table and went to bed. A good night's sleep might alleviate some of his worries. Entering his room, he let out a sigh and collapsed onto his bed.

In the morning, he woke up later than expected. The Jester was waiting for him in the pub, listening to a bard. The swordsman hero sat down and motioned for some breakfast. The owner brought some over for him, and he slowly began to eat. In the background the bard continued to sing, piquing his interest.

After finishing eating the swordsman hero waved to the bard, inviting him over. The bard did so, sitting down opposite the heroes. They talked for a bit about music production, spending time with Andy Dick, and listened to some additional live performances.

After making sure his friend would be okay, the swordsman hero left the healer's hut and returned to the inn. He returned to his room and grabbed his bag. He then went into the Warrior hero's room and found his pack. He sat everything out on the bed and organized it. He would need to adjust what he took with him now they he had one less person carrying supplies.

After he was sure he had everything he needed, he packed the extra items into the Warrior hero's pack and carried it all into his own room. He would drop the pack off at the healer's hut in the morning. Finally ready, he turned in for the night.

And then he didn't. A knock woke him up, and he groggily made his way to the door. The Jester stood in the doorway, and motioned for the swordsman hero to go down into the pub. He did so, and was surprised to see an old friend. Kloss sat at a table happily enjoying the food. The swordsman hero sat down with him and they talked. They discussed whether or not children should be exposed to religion, if relatives should get leg kicked for getting incorrect pretzels, and the scams made up by the 1,000 lb sisters.
