Did… you… say… TENTACLE?? It’s time to reckon with the deep when the Kraken comes to call. But is this a fight our adventurers can win? And what is it that the crew of the Undercurrent is hiding? All may not be as it seems, but one thing is certain - if they don’t work out what to do next, Everdeep Drop will be our journey’s end.

It’s time for our adventurers to get back to their posts and leave that nasty sand behind them as the Undercurrent continues its descent down into the cavernous chimney of Everdeep Drop. But as they work to light the way forward, they can’t help but stumble onto secrets still hidden in the dark. 

So you broke the ship you were granted passage on as stowaways with a giant untouchable anvil? Happens to all of us. Best stay out of the way of the captain and the crew until you work out what to do about it. Or, take the Rustle approach! Let’s see which way ends well...

No new episode today, but an announcement! We're taking a short break to make sure that we can keep bringing you episodes without burning ourselves out in the process. We'll wiggle back into your mind palace on March 1st with some super fun new episodes as our adventures continue their descent towards Atlantis and discover the many mysteries of the Undercurrent... Until then; keep submitting enchanting items, dastardly words, splendiferous spells, and deadly dice rolls, and watch our socials @ryoa_pod for news. Catch you soon!

See ya 2021. It’s time to farewell the year that was with some holiday cheer! The RYOA crew look back over the last year and try to remember things that happened in it. Plus a musical number from a surprise guest...

The deck of the Undercurrent begins to look a little worse for wear as our adventures foster a new-found hatred for sand. Mostly because it’s coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Also because it’s attacking them. On the upside, there’s a giant friendly crab who helps them fight some skeletons, attacking their weak points for massive damage.

The adventurers take a stab at fighting things other than shambling mounds and scary robots, namely: the ocean, some sand, and a wealth of sunken ships. While Mazj finally gets the leader she’s always wanted and Rustle rescues a fish, Ka’Met and Brynn don their superhero garb and become the terrified heroes they were always meant to be.

Everyone’s favourite way to start the day is with soaking wet clothing on a ship that has no indoor heating and smells of a reef, right? Well, lucky for Brynn, Ka’Met, Mazj, and Rustle, that’s how it begins! But how will it end? Probably with some tenuous plans to navigate an underwater ship graveyard and a friendly shark--doo doo doo-doo doo doo.

Four figures push through the thickening darkness, convictions crumbling with the world around them as they begin to lose sight of hope, and Londinium begins to fade. The whispers of Them follow, heavy and haunting as they make their way through the abandoned city. And somewhere in the distance, a faint cry for help begins to sound more like a scream.

It’s time to celebrate the spooky season with a truly eerie bonus episode. A quiet darkness falls over the starship city of Londinium. Engines that once kept the ship’s towers, parks, and gangway streets alive with light and noise now stopped without warning. While most were asleep, the ship powered down, and the lights went out. Survivors huddled in the darkness pass on rumours of the Them - a force or being undefined, but mentioned only in hushed whispers and terrified tones. But with those rumours, hope. A group of defenders is said to have gathered at the Great Core Park, and there, just maybe, lies safety...
