Odyssey Ch. 33: The Beach Episode


Listen Later

And lo, the poets’ words spake of a sun that shone like the bronze city itself, of water clear and cool enough to feel like swimming through air, of a beach sport so fun and relaxing that the heroes might feel refreshed afterwards.  Yes, I speak now of that most wondrous of times: The Beach Episode.

Ariel meets a fish man.

Eto runs another footrace.

Nausicaa allows some questionable moves.

Nehmet enters spike town.

Ylva grows a tree.

Next time on…

The time has come.  The lands have sent their champions.  The stands are packed and the arena grounds are rife with…  Land sharks?  The Great Games are upon us, my friends!  A time for spectacle and challenge; love and tears.  Twenty five teams from across Thylea, the Cerulean Gulf and even the Forgotten Sea beyond have come to show their might and try to take home a medal for their people.

Does Ariel know any support spells?

Is Eto playing for his team, or for someone else?

Is Nausicaa in it to win it?

Does Nehmet have any other old rivals still around?

Can Ylva afford the time to play in the Games?

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/APR/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.
