Okay! We have the Octad, now let’s get this over with! And soon, please. I don’t think there has to be much glacier left for Auril to get through. We can deal with everyone else after we get this done. Right, Max Hedman?

I also want to extend a massive congratulations to our wonderful and fantastic editor Hollie for GETTING MARRIED! Seriously, this show would not be what it is without her. If you have the chance please send your well wishes and celebrations her way as she absolutely deserves it.

Welp. That’s one death that can’t be reversed. I know this is going to weigh heavy on the party, but I think Bastion is going to feel it the most. Poor guy…he’s been through so much. I hope defeating Auril will help redeem him. I hope Amaunator is still around for him. I hope he sees the sun.

Okay so I know I went on this whole tirade about hags last time, but I’m honestly starting to hate these magen things as well. I understand that they don’t have a free will but come on. Also, who told them to go attack the bitterhearts?? It angers me endlessly. Auril needs to come down already so they have another target. Right, Max Hedman?

Does anyone else here just absolutely loathe hags? Just me? They always have some shit to say or do that I don’t like. It genuinely pisses me off. GODS they make me so mad. I wish our party wasn’t battered to hell so they could kill these fools. Oh well, a few stolen memories aren’t the worst thing. Also the way it is described isn’t how memories work..I’m not going to go on a tangent here. Max Hedman, play us a song to forget to.

So we’ve got the wand! Now we just need to find out the rest of the clues and then do this Arcane Octad! All before Auril can get down here! Also before Avarice figures it out as well. No biggie! If anyone can do it, it’s our heroes! I wonder what this woman encased in ice is all about though? Very intriguing, wouldn’t you say Max Hedman?

(if you have made it this far into the description, comment something about how Luke is an unfair DM, that’ll really get him)

These steps are pretty confusing to me. Why would the people of Ythryn design a system like this? Or maybe it’s the nature of the magic that requires it? I’m not certain, but it’s too much. I’d have stopped once I found out there were eight steps to this thing. I guess that’s why I’m not part of this group, right Max Hedman?

(Also, if you read this description leave a comment on the podcast saying “Wow, great job Luke!”)

Not these things again! Who designed these creatures?! Whoever did needs to be smote. I hope it was Auril, because she needs to be smote anyway. Hopefully our heroes make it out of this situation so they can actually fight her. Also I figured she’d be here by now, what gives? Very weird how empty this city seems to be. Right, Max Hedman?

Well we’ve finally made it to Ythryn and I’m feeling a bit sad. At least Bastion got some form of closure. I hope he can find some kind of life after this adventure. What say you, Max Hedman?

Wow, a lot happened last time. I can understand if you need a little breather. Why not read this description to ease your mind? Reading something from a friendly perspective can help, or so I’ve been told. I think Logic did the right thing. I don’t think our heroes had a fight in them. It would have been hard fought, and they would have lost. It couldn’t have been avoided. Also those Nothic were very cryptic, weren’t they? I don’t know how much I can trust something with only one eye that speaks cryptically like that. The fate of a nothic is a sad one, though. I think this has been enough reading, don’t you Max Hedman? I think our friends here can rest easy!

Okay so those guys came out of nowhere. Maybe they’ll know where the hostages are? I hope we can find them soon. I worry for poor little Toe’s life. He’s truly the best of us, wouldn’t you agree Max Hedman?
