Night Owl Nerds

Having overcome the Swamp Trial and entering the Desert Trial, the party is confronted by new challenges. They are learning that not every danger can be seen.

The party finds themselves face to face with a towering treant, its imposing form threatening their survival. But as they fight to move forward they discover that the dangers among these trials are more than what they find floating on the surface.

In this installment of Matters at Hand, Robin, Jon, Zander and Heather discuss the new campaign and other nonsense. Given that the new campaign has only just started, it's really no surprise that we ran out of things to talk about. But still, contained within are important lore clarifications and insights into a few of the new characters. Plus, we play DnD Mad Libs!

The party spends their first night in Hastholm Tower. They share a meal, play some games and even get to know each other. But things get a little tense the following morning when they're faced with their first in a set of trials.

After a short hiatus, the Night Owls are back with Campaign 2! 

Our tale begins in a vast and dense forest in an unknown realm... Join us as we begin our adventure in a brand new world, rife with dangerous foes, mysterious pasts and and veiled powers-that-be. The peoples of this realm have no concept of gods, but in the shadows lurk the Watchers: supreme entities that remain ever vigilant over the world they've created.

We finally make it out! ...I mean, we finally finished the Tomb of Horrors module! The party spends way too much time trying to solve a puzzle and I feel like we all should have taken a hit to our Intelligence scores. Regardless, enjoy the final part to Zander's one-shot! (Can we even call them one-shots anymore?)

This has become a mini-series! The remnants of the party continue their venture into the depths of Acererak's Tomb. Being much more cautious as they fear for their lives, it would seem the survivors are more concerned with preserving their lives than completing the king's orders.

In this session, the players and the DM for "The Matters of the Gods" gather to discuss the campaign as a whole. We delve into the campaign before we began recording, we ask questions that ate at our very souls and we get off topic. Please join us in saying "THANK YOU" to Matt for taking us on this incredible 2 year long, 51 sessions deep journey!

*BONUS*

During our recording time, we always take a break to attend to various needs. While I am away from my desk, the other players have made a habit of leaving me little messages to find while I edit the episodes. I have included a selection of these clips, some raw, some edited, all amazing insights into the chaos that ensues while we play. Please keep in mind: these episodes are labeled "Explicit" for a reason.

With the brutal battle battle between our party and Lolth well under way, Nyx, Thrym, Kax and Kee may finally reach their goal. I can't say much more without spoilers.
