Hooked On Draconics

Ghosts of the past come to haunt each of us as our sins have come to manifest... and by that, I just mean me... Talon... unfortunately for them, I have more tricks up my sleeves than they might initially think... Meanwhile, the Neo Classical Rococo Che Lounge (or NCRCL for short) undergoes it's repairs. Can it be saved!? Can it be sat or laid upon again!? Will it get smashed by a giant 'Unknown reptilian' that came out of nowhere!?! Toad math and Keepo shenanigans on this weeks episode!

In this step of the Hero's Journey our group of amateur archeologists, after winning their battles of the supreme ordeal of course, and learning of the dangers facing our new home of Windstone, head back to the town with most haste. After  "A Climb to Remember 3: The Final Descent" which was the most dangerous one of the trilogy... And also Keepo Shenanigans... Mysterious events, beautiful sunsets, and predictable ambushes might be ahead!

(Warning:NSFW for adult situations and language in this episode...) From the shadows of the great throne of Big Chungus... All the way from the mountains of Heavens Ascension... He strikes from the shadows... to clean your socks and wash your delicates... We finally have the kobold mascot we always dreamed of! But before we can celebrate our new annoying companion's arrival we must journey back to the library to... defeat... the harpy!

Trog's back on the menu boys! Big Chungus, Big Charga, whatever his name is, he's our objective. We're here to defeat them to liberate Heaven's Ascension from their stinky ways... On a bridge over a pit, deep enough to be a sure-death experience if anyone drops off of it (it probably even has sharpened spears or spikes at the bottom to impale us when we hit the ground) we meet our destinies in mortal combat against this leader of the Twisted Elements! It seems time to Test Our Might!

There's some stuff in this episode about A harpy and some enchanting music and we all simp for her for a little while... But for real, If Ki-Adi-Mundi never told the council about the droid attack on the Wookies, Yoda wouldn't have gone off to help them fight off the droid invasion on Kashyyyk.... He would have been present to help Anakin fight off the dark side influence over him, and would have co-led the arrest of Chancellor Palpatine with Mace Windu and Anakin... thus preserving the lives of the other masters, discover the plans of how Palpatine was leading the galaxy against itself by leading both sides of the clone wars, and he never could have ascended to the rank of Emperor by dissolving the Republic and establishing the Galactic Empire... in short... Ki-Adi-Mundi doomed the Galaxy to 25 years of Imperial rule, and countless enslavements and deaths under their thumb. Also, shout-out to Neo-Classical Rococo Che Lounges!

Knocked out again... and again... and again... Talon (your friendly neighborhood devil) is about out for the count. Going down like a blaze of glory and protecting his friends is becoming a bit of a habit for him. But that's not stopping the kobold terrorizing the skies outside of Heaven's Ascension! Can Stump, Cass, and Thorimund save him in time and stop the terror of the XScaledGod666X!? Will Talon ever be able to prove his mettle as a competent rogue!? Is the Amateur Archeologist Association ever actually going to actually find it's way into the temple!? All of this and more, on this weeks episode!

He's sooooo bad... He's sooooo cringe... and he's out to prove himself way more than necessary! The dastardly kobold with a terrible attitude, a nefarious set of wings, and an even more grievous fighting style strikes from the sky! Beware all who invoke his wrath, he who goes by the legendary name "XScaledGod666X"

 Who would have thought that bathing on the insides of the Dread Gazebo could have led them to this!? A clash in the skies over a ravine creates quite the challenge... between bad die rolls and a stinky massive vulture tamer, the Quintet has a massive challenge flying right at them! (Bad ASMR warning... but you know you love it)

(Pre-session warning: the fatigue is reeeeaaaaal...) High up on the crown of the world, our group encounters a rare and dangerous, even legendary monster... the Gazebo! While Talon (the natural party medic of course) takes care of Thorimund's wounds, the more sensible half of our expedition examines distant "ravens" and a mysterious pool. But that's when the magic happens...

With our bygones put to rest, and our fading dreams filled with the wonders of adventure... Our amateur archeologist team find themselves having to head upwards and upwards.
Who would have thought that a temple named 'Heaven's Ascension' would have been so high up!? 
Climbing comes naturally to us these days luckily... so much so that Talon and Stump see who is faster, while Talon has legitimate skills, and then Stump cheats with spider form... 
But is there something waiting for us among these cliffs, ready for us to slip up?
