Liches Be Crittin

Mytros, the shining city of the Five, bastion of the mortal races of Thylea and the current epicenter of an apocalyptic storm, stands before our heroes as they are quickly escorted to the king by mighty dragonlords atop their imposing mounts.  Much different than their reception with the king in Estoria, King Acastus has a proposition in mind for the heroes, though it is not one easily accepted.  After making some hard decisions, the Chosen of Versi find themselves at Volkan’s Peak, likely unprepared for what comes next...

Ariel gets some wine.

Eto keeps his head down.

Nausicaa appraises many oxen.

Nehmet suggests blasphemy.

Ylva sees a familiar face.

Next time on…

Volkan’s Peak, the highest point in the city of Mytros and home to one of the few gig-ready microphones in all the land.  A fitting venue for our heroes’ epic struggle to rid the city of the destructive storm which wracks its walls.  Two gods, one 500 year old bard, one chance to rock so hard that Sydon surrenders his assault on the city.  Are the heroes up to this new challenge?

Does Ariel understand human anatomy?

Can Eto fly?

Can Nausicaa take the eye of a storm?

Will Nehmet invent a new genre of music?

Did Ylva ever confront Haskell?

Find out next time!  Until then, remember to ward off the jealous gaze of the Twin Titans and to revere the blessed Five.  May The Chosen of Versi succeed in their quest, else all of Thylea will be lost...

Recorded: 09/JAN/2021

The 500 year Oath of Peace is coming to an end and the Titans’ jealous rage has only ripened over time.  Five heroes have been summoned by the Oracle, who prophesied that they are the only hope of refuge from the death of the gods, the destruction of the sacred tree, and the total annihilation of all mortal races.  Join our heroes (and their players):

Ariel (Venus), a naively entitled nymph with a pension for persuasion

Eto (Billy), a hard-ass Aresian soldier who believes that discipline and pride are cardinal virtues

Nausicaa (Violet), a strangely social medusa who can kill a yak from 200 yards away with her trusty bow

Nehmet (Sojak), a man out of time, slowly clearing a 500 year fog from his mind as he composes the greatest epic poem Thylea will ever know

Ylva (Jacob), a stranger in a strange land whose bone-and-hide armor is almost as threatening as her fiery magics

as they are guided through the world of Thylea by their Dungeon Master (Sam).  Many dangers exist in Thylea, especially for one so bold as to take up adventuring, but if The Chosen of Versi fail in their quest, the future of Thylea is certain to be a grim one.

With an absurd number of naked civilians rescued from the clutches of Euria and her evil sex tower, the heroes start on the home stretch to Mytros.  Only one thing stands in their way: yet another favor for Kyrah…  And with interpersonal tensions running high, this may prove the most difficult instrument to recover, despite being the least fortified.

Ariel puts the boss to sleep.

Eto runs a footrace.

Nausicaa teaches someone a new game.

Nehmet starts a fight.

Ylva meets an elephant.

Next time on…

The gates to Mytros stand now behind our heroes as they look into the storm-ravaged city.  With winged escorts to guide them, the Chosen of Versi must now meet with the mighty King Acastus of Mytros, founder of the new Dragonlords.  Though he may not be the heroes’ favorite person, he does have important tasks to ask of them.  After all, who better to rescue the shining bronze city of Mytros, bastion of mortals, holy place of the Five, than the so-called heroes who are supposed to save the world?

How long has Ariel gone without visiting a bar?

How does Eto feel about being in the big city?

How many oxen can Nausicaa afford?

How does Nehmet feel about these “new Dragonlords?”

Does Ylva stand out in the big city?

Find out next time!  Until then, remember to ward off the jealous gaze of the Twin Titans and to revere the blessed Five.  May The Chosen of Versi succeed in their quest, else all of Thylea will be lost...

Upon their return to Estoria, the heroes meet some interesting new acquaintances who beckon them towards the shining city of Mytros.  With Ylva’s sister rescued and personal quests starting to draw divides in the party, this direction is a much needed rallying post, so our heroes set out on the road south.  On the way, though, Kyrah nudges them towards another side quest of hers: recovering another instrument from one of her old bandmates.

Ariel gets naked

Eto opts out of a quest.

Nausicaa finds some comfy loot.

Nehmet gets rid of the witnesses.

Ylva peeps on some peeps.

Next time on…

So close now to Mytros, but our heroes aren’t in the clear yet.  Upon bringing their new entourage of rescued captives to the city limits, another side quest rears its head.  Another of the Four Winds, another instrument and another attempt at a nonviolent encounter, though hopefully one Eto will be more useful during.  Mytros will have to wait just one session more.

What is Ariel most excited for in Mytros?

Is Eto just fed up at this point?

Why hasn’t Nausicaa talked about her personal quests?

Does Nehmet really think a nonviolent approach can work?

Has Ylva ever seen an elephant?

Find out next time!  Until then, remember to ward off the jealous gaze of the Twin Titans and to revere the blessed Five.  May The Chosen of Versi succeed in their quest, else all of Thylea will be lost...

With an unclear path ahead of them, the Chosen of Versi have a sit down in the Mithral Forge to decide what to do next.  Go south to rescue Ylva’s sister?  Go east to Aresia and Eto’s quest?  Maybe Kyrah will have the answer yet again: some old friends turned new complications.  The road is a strange one, with new friends and old enemies, but at the end of their day trip is a bright light, beckoning them to comfort and contentment…  Praise Helios...

Ariel charms a charmer.

Eto praises Helios.

Nausicaa claims a very big eye.

Nehmet attempts diplomacy.

Ylva gets a strange reunion.

Next time on…

Another quest completed and Ylva’s sister rescued from the clutches of Zephyra.  It seems now like the only direction for our heroes is to pursue Kyrah’s old bandmates in order to recover her lost instruments.  Well, that and plenty of personal quests with loose ends.  It seems one thing is certain, though: all roads lead to Mytros...

What is Ariel‘s favorite kind of dungeon?

Can Eto cast spells?

Can Nausicaa get new hair-snakes?

Does Nehmet like it in the middle of the cuddle puddle?

Is Ylva the team spy?

Reaching the Necropolis of the Dragonlords may have been precarious in itself, but the heroes’ third labor is far from over.  First, they must venture into the maze, guarded by a dreadful minotaur named Graxis.  Then they must recover from Xander’s tomb whatever arms and armor they can without being cursed.  Finally, they have to find a way off of this dreaded mountain without becoming yeti food.  The challenges our heroes are about to face pose some very unexpected twists and turns, not unlike the labyrinth they are about to delve into...

Ariel casts a new spell.

Eto has aegis envy.

Nausicaa earns her crown.

Nehmet meets a very, very old friend...

Ylva goes sledding with a buddy.

Next time on…

That’s it, right?  Three labors were laid out by Versi and three labors now have been completed by the heroes.  They even got to level five, finally!  So where could their next steps take them now?  South, towards Mytros, to rescue Ylva’s sister?  Back to Estoria to check on their allies there?  Or perhaps to locales stranger still.  After all, the work of a hero is never truly done and unfortunately for our particular heroes, their end goals, personal and prophesied, are still out of reach...

Can Ariel win a charm-off?

Who is Eto‘s favorite god?

Can Nausicaa resist shooting things with her bow?

Does Nehmet like pickles?

Will Ylva find her sister?

Find out next time!  Until then, remember to ward off the jealous gaze of the Twin Titans and to revere the blessed Five.  May The Chosen of Versi succeed in their quest, else all of Thylea will be lost...
