Echoes of Elsewhere - a Call of Cthulhu/Dungeons & Dragons Crossover Actual Play Podcast

The party reaches Vallaki, a town where forced cheer hides deeper fractures, and a missing holy relic threatens the only sanctuary left in Barovia.

Previously On Echoes of Elsewhere

After a tense arrival at Vallaki’s gates, the group uncovered a watchlist of “dissenters” tied to the town’s weekly festivals and intervened when guards harassed a drunk villager. They delivered tragic news to a grieving family, learned of the cruel stockades used for public humiliation, and discovered that the infamous pie‑selling sisters had been taking children for far darker purposes. With orphans in tow, the party set out for the Church of St. Andral seeking safety for their companions.

In This Episode

Inside the church, the party meets Father Lucian and quickly learns that Vallaki’s protection is not what it seems. The sacred bones of St. Andral, once the source of the church’s holy ward, have vanished. Meanwhile, Blake escorts Ireena and the rescued children to the orphanage, where a nervous boy hints that Vallaki’s secrets run deeper than anyone admits.

Next On Echoes of Elsewhere

The search for the stolen bones begins, leading the party into the heart of Vallaki’s paranoia, and toward a confrontation that may decide whether the town’s last refuge can be restored before the Blazing Sun Festival arrives.

Previously On Echoes of Elsewhere

After leaving the Vistani camp with grim fortunes hanging over them, the party pushed through the woods and met Uxis, a towering stranger with a mysterious connection to New Eden. Their shortcut brought danger: an armored ghost that nearly struck down Professor Gregor and aged Blake thirty years in a single blast. With the threat defeated, the group set their sights on the windmill where the orphans are being held.

In This Episode

The road north proves anything but safe. Gargoyles watch from the bridge, the mist thickens, and the party debates whether rest is even possible in a land where sleep might send them back to New Eden. Elliot confesses that something inside him is shifting, and Blake reveals she may be feeling the same pull.

At the crossroads, a black carriage waits with two pitch‑black horses who speak of “the master” and offer gifts that may be more dangerous than they appear. The party presses on, passing through gates that open on their own as the forest closes in around them, racing daylight toward the windmill.

Next On Echoes of Elsewhere

The windmill looms ahead, its broken blades turning in the fading light. Whatever waits inside has already taken children, and the party arrives tired, shaken, and unsure who among them is still fully themselves. The rescue begins.
