Welcome to Echoes of: The Wandering Inn, where the levelling never stops.

This week, we're covering Chapter 40.

Ryoka is back on her feet, but getting back to work proves a little more complicated. Between Magnolia's influence, Runner politics, and Ryoka's absolute refusal to be pushed around, she manages to do what Ryoka does best: burn some bridges and choose the considerably more dangerous option.

We also pull the camera WAY back and learn a ton about the wider world, its continents, conflicts, history, and some very interesting names and places that we're definitely filing away for later.

And then... Ryoka gets something back that she hasn't had since arriving in this world. Suddenly, running feels like running again.

Join Geoff and Paul as we talk Runner politics, stubbornness, some hefty worldbuilding, and why sometimes all you really need is a good playlist.

Welcome to Echoes of: The Wandering Inn, where the levelling never stops.

This week, we're covering Chapter 39.

Erin has spent a long time missing Humans. Now that more of them are showing up in Liscor, she's beginning to remember that maybe she didn't miss all of them.

An accusation of theft quickly turns into something much bigger, giving us a closer look at the tension between Humans, Drakes, and Gnolls, and forcing Erin to decide exactly where she stands when things get ugly.

Join Geoff and Paul as we talk prejudice, hypocrisy, Erin's particular brand of stubborn morality, and the important lesson that no matter the species, some people are simply assholes.

Welcome to Echoes of: The Wandering Inn, where the levelling never stops.

This week, we're covering Chapter 38.

Something strange has arrived in Liscor, and Erin isn't exactly known for staying away from strange things.

As new faces make their way into the city, we get a closer look at Liscor's place between North and South, some hints about the wider world of Izril, and a reminder that certain names carry a LOT more weight than Erin realizes.

Meanwhile, things are changing below the city too. The Antinium have plans of their own, the Queen is busy with something important, and a new player is about to enter the board.

Join Geoff and Paul as we talk suspicious cargo, famous strangers, disappearing skeletons, and yet another Antinium name we're probably going to pronounce wrong.

Welcome to Echoes of: The Wandering Inn, where the levelling never stops.

This week, we're covering Chapter 37.

Ryoka's leg may finally be fixable, but apparently magical healthcare comes with a few important fine-print warnings. As the Horns work to put her back together, we learn more about healing magic, adventurers, and some of the surprisingly practical rules that come with living in this world.

And once Ryoka is back on her feet... well, she's a Runner. What did you expect her to do?

Join Geoff and Paul as we talk magical medicine, the Horns of Hammerad, and what happens when you give Ryoka Griffin two working legs and absolutely no sense of moderation.

Welcome to Echoes of: The Wandering Inn, where the levelling never stops.

This week, we're covering Chapter 36.

Ryoka is in bad shape, and the clock is ticking. With her options running out, she puts her trust in a very unlikely solution and an even more unlikely group of people.

But this chapter isn't only about fixing what's broken. We get a deeper look at Ryoka herself, the mistakes she keeps repeating, and whether she might finally be ready to let other people in.

Join Geoff and Paul as we talk questionable magical healthcare, unlikely friendships, and some surprisingly important character growth.

Welcome to Echoes of: The Wandering Inn, where the levelling never stops.

This week, we're covering Chapter 35.

At first glance, this feels like a quieter chapter, but there's a lot going on beneath the surface. As life at the inn settles into a new rhythm, Pirateaba expands the world around Liscor, introducing new history, cultures, and places while quietly laying the groundwork for stories still to come.

Join Geoff and Paul as they dig into the lore, discuss the growing world of Izril, and see which details stand out now... and which ones might matter much later.

Welcome to Echoes of: The Wandering Inn, where the levelling never stops.

This week, we're covering Chapter 34: Candor Vs. Morality.

Ryoka has never been one to sugarcoat the truth, but this chapter asks a difficult question: is complete honesty always the right choice? As painful realities come to light and impossible decisions loom, good intentions collide with uncomfortable consequences.

Meanwhile, old prejudices, personal principles, and desperate circumstances continue to blur the line between what should be done and what must be done. It's a chapter full of difficult conversations, moral grey areas, and the kind of character moments that quietly reshape the story.

Join Geoff and Paul as they debate where honesty becomes cruelty, where compassion becomes compromise, and why The Wandering Inn refuses to give its characters easy answers.

Welcome to Echoes of: The Wandering Inn, where the levelling never stops.

This week, we're covering Chapter 33: The Horns of Pain.

The spotlight shifts away from the inn as Ryoka faces the consequences of her choices, and they're every bit as brutal as you'd expect. With time running short and every step coming at a cost, she's forced to rely on help from people she never expected to trust.

Along the way, we spend more time with one of the series' most entertaining adventuring teams, uncover a few surprising layers beneath the banter, and get a glimpse of just how complicated this world can become when desperation meets opportunity.

Join Geoff and Paul as they discuss stubbornness, found family, questionable medical advice, and why Pirateaba has an uncanny ability to make us care about characters almost immediately.

Welcome to Echoes of: The Wandering Inn, where the levelling never stops.

This week, we're covering Chapter 32: The Immortal Game.

After one of the series' most emotional chapters, The Wandering Inn slows down... but only on the surface. A simple game of chess becomes something far more significant as grief, understanding, and quiet determination ripple far beyond the board.

What begins as two players making moves soon has unexpected witnesses, impossible questions, and consequences that neither player could have predicted.

Join Geoff and Paul as they explore one of the most beautifully written chapters in Volume 1, unpack the symbolism, marvel at Pirateaba's storytelling, and probably spend far too long talking about chess despite neither of them being particularly good at it.

Welcome to Echoes of: The Wandering Inn, where the levelling never stops.

This week, we're diving into Chapter 31, and... wow. Pirateaba decided it was time to emotionally damage us.

After the devastating events of the previous chapter, Erin finds herself face-to-face with the Antinium in a way no Human ever has before. What follows is less about swords and monsters, and more about grief, misunderstanding, empathy, and seeing the world through someone else's eyes.

It's a chapter that completely reshapes how we think about one of the most mysterious races in the series, while giving us some of the most heartfelt conversations we've seen so far.

Join Geoff and Paul as they try to hold it together, discuss one of the biggest perspective shifts in the story so far, and inevitably get sidetracked into a few ridiculous tangents along the way.
