In the Emperor's court, our adventurers, all wearing Trega's shape, are mistaken for ambassadors. Tengrail makes a decision that could endanger everyone, and with a silent conversation, the whole world changes.

Hang on after the end credits for an informal chat about the session and experience.

Recorded during lockdown in my "social distancing dome," outside in my garden on a forecast sunny afternoon. As its turned out the rain was pretty constant and at some points torrential, but it mostly stops about 20 minutes in. What happens afterwards is why I have been carefully reducing the noise of the rain for hours in this and previous episodes. This one makes it all worth it.

The previous episodes of this actual play can be found on our other feed: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Episodes 8 to 15 are on this feed.

A fight with snakes, a puzzle solved quickly, reconnaissance, an orc makes a pass at Tengrail, Isembold and Trega, and they listening on of the gossip of the Emperor Hroka's court.

Recorded during  lockdown in my "social distancing dome," outside in my garden on a forecast sunny afternoon. As its turned out the rain was pretty constant and at some points torrential. I am getting better at the NR with practice.

Finally, finally our heroes get to the fallen elven city, the Eyes of the Rose, now an Orcish town. Gormer has one concern, getting drink. Mergolene appears to remind Tengrail of his many concerns, we hear stories of the old days and Isembold, moves the adventure on, just a little.

Tengrail, Gormer and Isembold journey on to the Eye of the Rose.

We promised you our playtest of an earlier version of Destroyer of Worlds this week, but Dave didn't pull his editing finger out. So, like a hero I put this together at the last minute. Recorded after lockdown in my "social distancing dome." It's some time since Dave, Tony, Andy and I got together for Forbidden Lands, so we are somewhat chatty. There is a rustle of crisp packets.
