Taking Initiative

Ven finds that some group chats are in order, Kent continues to be a creep, Callista remembers some things, and Abraham...well, Abraham is having a rough time. Wait, who is THIS?

Churros, anyone? No? Ok, I'll just have them later. Welcome back to Episode 13, where everything is stress free and everyone is a-ok. Our party ventures forth back to the village of Barovia, ready to discuss their next task with Ismark.

Well, last episode was a whole lot of info and RP, eh? The party is all set with some sort of plan, but first thing's first: let's get back to the village of Barovia and help Ismark out. The trek shouldn't be all too difficult...right? Feel free to drop us a review on iTunes and cast Message to us over social media. It's only a cantrip. We'd love to hear from you!

Hungry children? Barovian accents? People with hoarse voices? Yep, this place has some character. But the question is: who is this Madam Eva? Will she be of help? Or is she just another of Strahd's (Josh's? Who can even tell anymore) evil plans?

Our party finally left the Death House, but at a major cost. How will they handle their recent misfortune? Where will they go? And...wait, who is that guy?

And so we come to the finale of the "House of Spoops" arc. What awaits them at the end? Will they live? Will they die? Will they become best buds with the monster in the basement, maybe play a bit of poker and share some wine? Oh, maybe the monster isn't anything at all. Maybe the kids are straight up liars! ::shrugs:: I guess we will have to see. Please keep in mind, this is not the end of "Taking Initiative!" The next episode concerning the Curse of Strahd module will release as usual in two weeks, aka June 26th, under the title "Barovian Rhapsody." But what does this mean for the party? Stop asking for spoilers, just listen to the damn episode already!

Kent found his dream girl, though his dream girl doesn't give any shits and isn't afraid to talk to her ferret about it. Also, guys, stop touching chests in a spooky house. Just stop. Bad things happen! This is "Curse of Strahd," not "Kleptotown!" Though, that being said, that sounds like a fun mod. You could get points for the amount of stuff you swipe. It's essentially the video game "Thief," but the tabletop RPG! Hm, I'll be back, I need to go relay this idea to Bucky. Oh, and before I forget, the "House of Spoops" finale, episode 09, airs on June 12th! You really won't want to miss it. Hey! Bucky! I gots an idea!

Ahhhhhh, after a nice long rest, the party is back on their feet and ready for action. Oh, what's this? It seems Kent is resuming consciousness. For the first time, the four party members are truly together using the power of Internet. Will they conquer their sass and be the team they need to be? Meh, probably not, but let's see!

Aw, dem kids are cute. Dead, but cute. Our group of goofs take the kids on a field trip and traverse into the depths of the Death House, discovering that the basement has a similar feel to the top floors of the house: it hurts. Can our heroes (?) make it out alive? Or is this the unwarranted dark D&D sequel to the movie "Monster House?" Remember that movie? That was a thing. Also, I don't even think that comparison makes sense. Meh. Remember to tune back in on May 15th for episode 07. Enjoy!

Alright, where were we? Creepy house. Kent went through some hard times. He's sleepy sleepy. Punched the new party member...right. Laying some dead kids to rest. This environment is euphoric, isn't it? Kind, gentle, comfy, cozy. Ahhhh. Vacation spot 5/5, would rent again. Hehe, Rent...you'll see. Remember to tune back in on May 1st for episode 06. Enjoy!
