Sanctum Arcanum is an actual-play D&D 5e podcast using the official Strixhaven: Curriculum of Chaos module, expanded with original worldbuilding, character-driven storytelling, and high-stakes magical adventure.✨ In This Episode…

The hunt remains contained within the tangled, humid depths of the Witherbloom campus, but the danger is spreading. Though the party is surrounded by the familiar rot and renewal of the bayou, their task is anything but routine. The elusive mascots—from the geometric Quandrix Snake to the volatile Prismari Fire Deer—have scattered into the swampy wilds, turning the campus into a chaotic gauntlet of magical anomalies.

Navigating the treacherous terrain of the Witherbloom bogs is hard enough, but tracking down creatures that belong in other colleges is proving to be a logistical nightmare. As the party pushes deeper into the overgrowth to find the Lorehold Stone Cat and the Silverquill Ink Blob, the heavy atmosphere of the jungle mirrors the lingering tension between them. The mascots are out there, but in this wilderness, the party might find that the environment itself is just as prickly as the creatures they’re trying to catch.

✨ In This Episode…When Alex’s Bag of Holding catastrophically fails due to the Pest Witherbloom Mascot, the party is left to pick up the pieces—quite literally. In the center of the magical shrapnel lies Chunkle, Grunkle’s loyal canine companion, who bore the full brunt of the explosion’s fury.

Grief quickly curdles into a terrifying, singular focus. Enraged by the loss of his best friend and the carelessness that caused it, Grunkle sets his sights on Alex. What began as a simple journey looking for mascots has devolved into a hunt for vengeance, leaving the rest of the party to wonder: can a fellowship survive when one of its own is out for blood?
