In the final episode of this adventure, the party are insulted that the Emperor Hroka refuses to call them friends. Tengrail fights Ullt, the orcish commandant of the Eye of the Rose. We use the advanced combat rules for the first time. The second half of this episode is our post-session discussion, mostly out of character, though the party do slip back into role when they remember the insult. Boy, did Hroka make them cross.

The previous episodes of this actual play can be found on our other feed: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Episodes 8 to 18 are on this feed.
