Before the campaign started, the new cast of JRWI sat down to talk about the new world they’d be adventuring in. As we step back from producing this podcast, we’d like to leave you with this final “episode” of the project.

Thank you for joining us on this journey. There are no endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time, but this is an ending.

The mysteries deepen as the Heroes of Dal Sherandu venture further into what seems to be the tomb of (or memorial to?) a bygone Age. Pimur demonstrates for Quercus, repeatedly, that there are in fact still hazards he has not yet had a chance to run headlong into.

Amena quickly heals Lance again before chasing after Pimur to save him from himself, then returns to scold the Ogier quite thoroughly for performing unprofessional and unsafe medical studies.

Pimur and Amena wrestle with an electric eel for a waterlogged box of prizes, while Lance goes looking for Quercus, who was last seen being dragged down a hallway by a wave of water. He finds the Ogier standing at the far side of the large pool found previously. The two of them explore the flooded room more thoroughly, but it isn’t until the novices join them that the lever to drain the pool is found, revealing a macabre twist on the as-yet-undetermined purpose of this underground complex.

Coughing on toxic air, the party ventures deeper into the strange dungeon underneath the old fortress of Dal Sherandu. Lessons in marine biology are administered, along with applied physics. Where is all this water coming from?

Amena pockets anything shiny, Pimur leaps before he looks, Quercus really gets crabs at a personal level, and Lance fearlessly leads the way.

There are few things as beautiful as an Ogier barreling out of the smoke of battle to save your dying friend, but watching him then casually decapitate the enemy threatening your party is certainly one of those things.

Reunited, the Heroes of Dal Sherandu patch themselves up as best they can (aided tremendously by Amena’s newly discovered Healing weaves), and resume their trek to the ruined fortress on the east side of town.

In a suspended instant of deafening thunder, the quiet sanctity of The Eighth Tower is destroyed as battle arrives in Dal Sherandu. Keira Sedai reminds everyone that she is still a Green sister, and then the party splits up.

Quercus heads to the defensive positions at the north edge of town, while Amena, Pimur, and Lance attempt to move east through the town, hoping to reach the fortress and its mysterious vault that the enemy seeks.

The party carefully conceals themselves in the underbrush to spy on a supposed meeting of the leaders of the enemy they’ve faced over the last few days. They are richly rewarded with unsettling sights and valuable information. Afterwards, the party is faced with a choice, and splits up to follow multiple leads.

Tedric arrives on a scene of bloody chaos as the party wraps up their fight with the berserkers. Pimur wakes up with an ear-splitting roar as he is stabilized by the warder’s experienced field care, nearly drowning out the tongue-lashing being administered simultaneously to the entire party.

Facing a quartet of menacing Borderlander warriors, Lance and Quercus are as startled as anyone when four fiery explosions shatter the quiet of the night behind them.

Lance draws blood as fast as he loses it, Amena struggles to maintain her composure, while Pimur is torn between disprite strategic impulses. Using teamwork, grit, and desperation, the party manages to overcome the odds and avoid a Total Party Kill. Barely.

In the aftermath of the battle, the Heroes of Dal Sherandu meet their first band of Aiel, and learn that an army of false-Trollocs has been making their way west through New Malkier towards their home. Despite their enthusiasm to join forces with the Aiel and continue the chase, they recognize that they need a few hours rest before going on. They wake to find themselves alone again, and take off after their new friends.
