From Afar Podcast

The boys are BACK for 2021 as they welcome in the new calendar year with a maritime interlude! Opening the episode is a fresh new, shtanky fireside chat led by Sieghart explaining the not so solitary isolation on the island he was marooned at. Even though the underlying simmer of humor is a baseline for FAP, the inception of Sieghart's impetus for adventure is complicated, fraught with fatherly and husband responsibilities both bolstering and daunting. As the Fathers learn about their troubled chaplain, they take some much needed time after a hair-raising arc to understand the growth and developments that took place under and above the water. Sieghart's most terrifying recent realization makes him come to the other protagonists with frightening questions. Aereus must figure out what exactly it is his ancestors want from him, and Kipa studies mysterious items and their importance after retrieving them several episodes ago, in classic FAP fashion, from Icarus's labyrinth. As growth happens for all, it means crossing thresholds into points of no return, repeatedly and both intentionally and unknowingly. Our characters are no longer the misguided daddies from before, but have purpose, headings, and above all else, each other. With that, they can drink any of James Wagonblast's potions, no matter the color. If you wanted a good ass-whoopie pie today, then train your ears no further than right here, as you tune in from afar, to From Afar Podcast! Hammer time!

Breaching the surface, the Furious Fathers arise from the depths of the hellish marine victorious, yet also paired with somber loss. They found minus, defeated Selroc, helped to start a revolution against the strangely demonic sect of Sahuagins, and made new friends while also losing others. While the time is meant for utter celebration, there is work to be done, and souls to be remembered. As well, Minus's ruby has been added to the crew, increasing the roster by another Atlantian. With Prism and him in conjunction, there is further scope as to what needs to be done, and the Paters are waterlogged and anxious to get to the horizons. Not only is there advancement of story, but also of mechanical character, as the boys get not one, or one and a half, but two levels from this arc! But as advancement is progress, one step forward may incur two steps back, and bygones can't always be bygones for our heroes. With the safety of the Sea Monster enshrouding our party from the terrors defeated from the depths, internal terrors seem to double in effort, rising as an ethereal hydra to claim what was once agreed upon on islands of old. And what is to happen if vows are made in earnest haste? Join us as we sail with you in tow to realms unknown, from afar, on From Afar Podcast! Borg throws the best cheese-balls!

With Aereus' new found rage against the Sahuagin machine, him and Sieghart are able to turn the tides of battle playing in the hellish throne room atop the devilish tower. With their combined strength, they are able to buy time for Kipa as he is transported to a strange yet slightly familiar place, finding himself face-to-face with an enigmatic geodude. The conversation which then ensues answers questions and plot points that this narrative tale has woven since the beginning, showing old and new characters and villains in new light. Will this new Ruby of a King prove to be an adversary, or critical ally? Will the past choices of our Petulent Paters start breaking the glass surface of the lake of current reality sending waves if unrest towards the shores of understanding? While these questions may be circulating and or percolating, know this in the words of a sage, the past is no longer predictive, the present is fleeting, and the future is where we need to be. So join us this week, from afar, on From Afar Podcast! We are sick of FISH.

Having finally arrived at the foot of the Corrupted Throne, our Bodacious Begetters find themselves face to face with the Baron of Sahuagins, the Sultan of Sharks, the Great Shambino, the Big Fish, the Behemoth of the Below, the Wham Blam Call Him Pam Fishy Man, Selroc. But a dog's bark is worse than it's bite, right? Well, whatever chuckle buckle said that never met a shark man, covered in eyes, with four absolutely beyblade ripped arms and a huge sentient shark club. But our Fathers have faced formidable foes before, ranging from nautical pod racers to iron bars, and this fish is in danger of being fileted. Steeled with the raging fire of 11 episodes of underwater narrative adventure, and a host of questions still unanswered, the room at the top of the tower is charged with electricity as the corrupted and proud sahuagin meets the steely gaze of 3 protagonists filled with the god-given power of an author. Are our heroes ready for this strange, demonic marine chump? Or will they fall prey to the Black Tooth, becoming part of the file and ranks of the underwater corrupted army that Selroc commands? Or is Chick-Fil-A in for a nasty disruption as a new niche, protestant fast food chain becomes an overnight success using the bodies of fish hominids as protein? Get your investing stock in the right venture this week, from afar, on From Afar Podcast! Did you know there's a fish named a Sarcastic Fringehead? Must make a great sidekick!

The last episode left our Fathers confronted with a familiar symbol, from a familiar entity, but with a strange variation pointing to a strange realization. What would be the connection with such a symbol and this confusing, demonic tower? The Fathers can only theorize and steel themselves as they make their way higher, bolstering their resolve to meet the unknown as it puts on familiar faces. However, what was the purpose of this towering structure of hellish mystery, fraught with personal reflections that seem to grow and shift with the heroes as they traverse it's cold floors? Why would these challenges be facing them on the bottom of the ocean in the eclectic city of the sea? Find out if Andy can come up with anymore questions this week, from afar, on From Afar Podcast! Have you been held by good hands?

Welcome back this week, as we join our Fathers on the doorstep of destiny! Being subjugated to the horrible death ritual performed by Selrock on top of the eerie tower, our Heroes watched hopelessly as their companion was taken hostage. Now, they must decide how best to act, following several tense conversations about what it means to be an effective warrior, hero, and friend. And, as the saying goes, the skin of a cat has 9 layers, so choose your instrument wisely. Taking the seemingly most effective pathway, the party struggles against the deepest most complex of puzzles ever published in an antique bookstore west of the northern hemisphere of the Mississippi in the southern United States. However, inside the tower, reality seems to be a suggestion. Pulling back the door reveals not only another door, but several windows into reality, that confuse, befuddle, and clarify the unknown for the protagonists in our story. But what does it mean when someone who you may not understand knows the words to your soul? What does it mean to be met with conflicting information that shakes your very ideals? What does it mean to be a dog person over cat person? If these questions have you scratching the rump of a domestic short-hair, then tune in, from afar, to From Afar Podcast! The strongest teeth of all the teeth!

Having made their critical conversation concerning their choices and outcomes, the Furious Fathers are on the straight and narrow to help Lillia save the prisoners in hopes of having it cause enough of a distraction for the Fathers to get to Selrock. But by making these choices, what consequences will emerge, piercing at those inopportune times in the narrative? Will a clear conscious help protect our Heroes from the fallout of their moralistic choices? These questions hang thick in the murky oceanic air as our party moves through the hodge-podge strange city towards the prisoner's pit. Aided by magical items and steel will, the peturiolous paters aim to start a revolution to get to the tower and find out what Selrock is doing to these people. However, just as a crooked coin still has two sides, there are two outcomes to a choice, and there's blood in the water. But enough hemophilia talk! Need another Tylenol? Then tune in this week, from afar, to From Afar podcast! Nothing sucks like an electrolux!

Two of the party butt heads over how to approach their hard decision, and Dyilaan thinks of family.

The boys must choose to follow the woman prisoner, or the dead male as they are left in the middle of a crossroads.

The heroes make a vaulting maneuver and find a great vantage point, which leads to internal questions of ability.
