A villainous adventuring party travels from Tideswell toward Lacefield, chooses to camp rather than risk exhaustion, and encounters a lone halfling merchant; after coercing her for future intel, they cut off her hand as leverage, cauterize the stump, and loot her company wagon, including a journal. Entering Lacefield, guards inspect and magically catalog weapons; one member successfully uses a fake name, another is caught, prompting Mulwrath to reveal himself and intimidate Ferrison into wiping the records and allowing entry. Inside, the party secures rooms at the guest house connected to The Final Draught, learns about Moravael the jeweler, and hears that a black dome covers the old temple and that “The Pious” cult follows a priestess linked to Pelor. They pressure Moravael to flee, pursue information about a “lucky” sword and cult plans to contain divinity, and bribe/pressure Ferrison to retrieve the sword and obtain schematics, then regroup to plan infiltration using commissioned cult-like outfits.

The party recaps last session’s chaos at Duke Armand’s masquerade, where magic beans spawned a potion-bearing tree, monster-making toads, a 60-foot pyramid with an angry Mummy Lord, and a geyser. Initiative begins amid the wrecked ballroom: Perry polymorphs Lady Silvara into a donkey, Larry eats random fruit that shrinks him and then fully restores him, and he recklessly engages the Mummy Lord, suffering paralysis and mummy rot. Alynia summons an emerald draconic spirit whose psychic breath harms the Mummy Lord, while Perry’s firebolts exploit its fire vulnerability. After the Mummy Lord is slain and its heart retrieved, the group eliminates the toads, Larry loots a cursed Beholder Crown, and they execute a plan to drop Silvara from the sky, then finish her with disintegrate, melee strikes, and blight. Duke Armand demands answers, offers rewards, and agrees to burn the estate and erase evidence, but an epilogue reveals shipments of Malakar/Silvara hybrid creatures escaping the city.

Lost Episode Recap: Masquerade Mayhem, Mutations, and the Bag of Beans

The hosts explain a recording failure erased Caleb’s first episode, so Caleb paraphrases: Larry the myconid monk, Olinya the half-orc druid, and Goose the human fighter arrive at Duke Armand Vethral’s Wyghula City masquerade, don magical mind-reading masks, mingle, and explore side rooms, including a fortune-telling setup and dueling pits where Larry defeats a boasting dragonborn. A gnome guest collapses; Olinya casts Revivify, and newcomer Periwinkle “Mr. Fletcher” investigates, noticing the gnome’s bird-like legs. Suspicious Lady Selvara Vaethal blocks the party from following staff, prompting Periwinkle and Olinya to wild shape and infiltrate a mask-lined hallway, discovering Selvara’s metal-skin grafted legs and a hidden stair. The party finds a lab with hybridized victims, fights a mutated gnome-bird creature, learns Selvara and Dr. Elian are creating sleeper-agent hybrids for Lord Malakar, kills Dr. Elian, confronts Selvara, and Larry plants four magic beans that spawn a pyramid with a mummy lord, a fruit tree, polymorph toads, and a geyser, ending on a cliffhanger.

The House of Velma Thorn and the Spider-Rat Below

The party recaps entering a fog-shrouded, decrepit town, fighting undead near a Church of Tyr, discovering townsfolk are euphoric and branded when they notice the true horror, and finding a mass grave where Isabelle grabs dog tags and resists corrupting ichor. They follow an eight-legged “spider rat” into the crypt of Elora Thorn, avoid a hoard mimic treasure room, and trigger a sarcophagus/portal that separates Van into a strange house. Inside, they find a guest book of notable townspeople, Van has extra brands and no reflection, and a Modron servant says its mistress Velma Thorn left centuries ago; it identifies several names tied to the town. After manipulating a magically stuck grandfather clock to midnight and reaching an attic lab under time-stop, Velma’s diary reveals she tried to undo Elora’s death via a deal. In the basement they battle a multi-headed bear-sized spider-rat and shadows, seize a cipher fragment orb, lift the town’s curse, and are teleported back to town.

Tavern Illusions, Tally Marks, and a Graveyard Infection

Adam from Tales of the Broken Realms apologizes for missing the first 30 minutes of Sam’s episode two due to audio issues and provides a recap: the party reaches a mist-shrouded town, discovers a magical “immersion” around a tavern, and heads into the mist toward the church after hearing screams, where they meet Sky’s paladin and enter combat with hulking undead. The session features a long fight with heavy necrotic damage, Anya being downed and killed, then revived with revivify after the party finishes the enemies. The group rests at an illusory tavern (The Hollow Flask), notices strange tally marks, confirms a False Hydra–like memory effect, and finds the town’s church defaced and preaching power rather than Tyr. At the cemetery they identify “Homie,” retrieve dog tags, and Is becomes infected by black symbiote goo.

Omega Seven’s One-Way Briefing and the Mist Beyond Camp Ilmar

In a rain-soaked opening, the party—Dorian the rock gnome artificer, Van Draven the hooded archer with glowing green eyes, Anya the halfling rogue, and Reginald the muscular gnome—are briefed as “Omega Seven” and cleared for the Blackthorn Division to investigate deviants and a town where teams vanish, with magic communication disrupted; they receive items, sending stones, and visit R&D (including a theft attempt). Traveling through the forest, they spot a teleporting, corrupted bear-like creature, witness it obliterate a passing caravan, and kill it after a chase, collecting symbiotic black ooze and learning it spreads corruption. At Base Camp Ilmar, survivor Jonathan—partially afflicted—describes a mist-shrouded town with a church, tavern, graveyard attack, and a creature that reappears. Camp tensions rise via Reginald’s antics and Dorian’s intelligence headband prank, then an infected apothecary kills two patients and later dies in front of the party. The group enters the northern mist, fails wisdom saves, and experiences fear visions before the episode ends.

The party recaps reaching a temple after solving a cave puzzle involving gods’ statues and a shard, meeting Anya, and Henry falling into a chasm but surviving. Inside the temple, they solve a light-reflection puzzle using three lenses to activate murals of Pelor, Laer, and the Dawn Titans, opening the next door. In a corridor with Celestial inscriptions (“to pass into the sacred flame, one must first leave the light behind”) and a Watcher’s Seal, touching the seal opens the gate, so Sham holds it open while the others proceed, leaving him behind. In an antichamber, six braziers ignite when characters confess fears and secrets, revealing new magic effects and opening a descending staircase. Below, they reassemble and cleanse a mosaic to form a glowing scroll/cipher, triggering an attack by an Ethereal Champion and two wolves; after a hard fight aided by a summoned unicorn, they win, loot gold, potions, a Misty Step scroll, and an ethereal spear, confess more truths to reopen the exit, reunite with Sham, and escape as the temple collapses.
