The Damascus Spears

Following big IRL events we have plenty of episodes recorded and nearly ready to post as time allows. With episode 39 and the first part of the prison break infiltration being broken audio, I combined a recap along with episode 40 to get us on track again.

Leaving Thebes, the party heads on their way to Delphi. The only obstacle in their path being the Sons of Atlas' activities mining Mt. Parnassus with the Athenian Prisoners of war they have. The hidden door to the Underworld that Orpheus created is said to be somewhere inside, but hasn't been unlocked just yet. One thing to be understood about D&D: never underestimate the ingenuity of players.

Preparation begins as the party plots to kill Zenchin, however a deal Petra made with the Sons of Atlas has thrown a wrench into the machine.

A second chance is given to Dorea and her family, while the party plots their next move. The city of Thebes is given respite from the Sons of Atlas - their influence reduced. Now only the Spartan Regime under command of the heavily preoccupied Aeneas remain. The King of Thebes remains in hiding, but other problems must take the Damascus Spears' attention.

Finly's past comes up with getting to know an old friend sparing room in their home for the party. Galatea seems quite taken with Scion and his progress. Petra gets scolded by her great^4th Aunt for the people she hangs out with. The guards continue their search for the lost fugitive - Sidri currently residing with the party.

The Sons of Atlas versus the Damascus Spears in this Gangs of New York style clash in the city of Thebes. Barbara claimed violence, and that is what they got.

Stumbling into the Thieves guild den where Petra had been hiding out has been an awkward, yet opportune, turn of events for the party. She makes a break for it but few are prepared to outrun a hasted monk with a passion for tackle hugging their family.

Stage fright can definitely scare away most people, especially when their eyes watch waiting to strike. On another note, Barbara insults someone's mama, while Annikke sees what became of an old "friend".

Thrust into the fray and chaos, the group maneuvers through the big city of Athens. Their runaway friend proving to be a considerable ally in the hunt for Petra.

Despite the ongoing pressures mounted by the Sons of Atlas influence in Thebes, the party prepares to drop the hottest diss track in the Aegean. Surely nothing would go wrong.
