The Quest Company

Nowhere is impregnable. Nobody is objective. Everything is contaminated.

Deny it. Scrub your hands. Clear your mind. But it seeps in.

Through the cracks. The corners and the doorways. An entry. It only takes an instant.

In this episode: Realization. Confrontation. One bullet.

Previously: During their last night in Crestport, the gang spent some time bonding in the Anyport tavern! Tabitha got a wee bit sloshed. Frank tried his darnedest to do the same, but to no avail. Zara had a very intimate time with some snacks. Roarke did some wheelin' and dealin' to get a couple jobs for the gang to take care of on their way to Emberstone. And Corin did his best keeping it together around all these maniacs.

This episode: Morning means that it's time for our fabulous five to head out on the next part of their adventure! Once the right people are notified of plans and the horse situation is resolved, the gang will be back on the road. And nothing inconvenient or ominous outright bad ever happens while traveling across the country... right?

Previously: They've only been in Crestport for one full day, but the gang sure has left their mark already. Tabitha spoke with an old friend. Zara repented for the whole "blinding a guy" thing. Roarke paid money for goods and services. Frank and Corin worried about the intricacies of healing a reanimated skeleton.

This episode: With the day winding down before our artful adventurers set out on the next leg of their journey, there's only one thing left to do: go back to Anyport and get free drinks! When you've got a friendly barkeep and companions like these, things might get just weird enough that you hope you forget them by morning.

Previously: So it turns out that ships cost a LOT of money to replace if they are lost or sunk or stolen. Which left some members of the party wondering if travel by sea is actually the best option for the upcoming journey. Frank and Roarke talked boats. Corin inspired the youth. Tabitha called Zara's bluff. And Zara blinded a guy.

This episode: This chaotic crew has found its largest weakness: downtime. Because when they're not out on a mission to kill something or someone, they have time to stop and think about what they've done, what they're doing, and what they're going to do.

This will be Newridge.

This will be Interstate 5.

This will be the general store.

This will be the reservoir.

This will be a ranch style house with shag carpets.

This will be the end of the forest.

This we take for our children and ourselves.

This will be our space, pushing back at the trees and the dark and the Unknown.

I'm sure they won't mind.

In this episode: Plans are made and unmade. Groceries are bought. A close encounter is had.

Previously: The gang met Lord Anton, who requested their aid in his effort to unite the Free States. They agreed to journey to Ald Lento and Emberstone as his representatives, but they've got some time to kill before leaving Crestport. Frank and Roarke finally got their money, and Roarke received a letter too late. Tabitha was given a mysterious mask, Zara went searching for more information about the Sapphire Phoenix, and Corin totally got a crush on the Captain of the Guard.

This episode: Our "helpful" heroes still have most of the day left before embarking on their next journey tomorrow morning. You know what that means... more shopping! And yeah some plot and character development stuff but also... shopping!

August 24, 1979. Newridge, Oregon.

The Woods are lovely, dark, and deep. Out here, in the Siskyoe National Forest, time slips away between the Pines and Maples. Perhaps Time itself gets lost wandering through the trails.

A missing sister. Faces in the fog. A curl of smoke off Magus Lake.

To find Mae, Wendell grasped the unknown.

To protect his closest friend, Colt risked life and limb.

These three walk out of the woods and towards home, safety, and civilization. But they must know, listener – surely they must know… That although they've returned to Newridge, they're not out of the woods yet.

Welcome to Episode 18 of The Quest Company! If you have somehow missed the backstories up to this point, you can check them out in previous episodes or on our YouTube page!

Previously: The gang made it back to Crestport and found Ceidron, who enlightened them about Bolest's past before taking them to an inn where they could safely spend the night while his protective trees left the city. Tabitha confronted Corin about the whole "mass murderer" thing. Frank kinda tried to turn Roarke to the Dark Side? Maybe? And Zara wrote an incredibly detailed, well-formatted newsletter.

This episode: Since Frank and Roarke got caught trying to sneak out of the inn by themselves, the whole crew is heading to the keep to warn of the impending danger from Dagger Point. Hopefully they'll get an audience with Lord Anton! And if they do, maybe they'll find out why Tabitha is acting so weird about him...

Welcome to Episode 17, the first episode of Season 2 of The Quest Company! To skip the backstories, go to the 5:54 mark of the episode.

Previously: After narrowly escaping the sacking of Dagger Point, the gang made their way south through the Hollow Woods in an attempt to keep soldiers from following them on their way to Crestport. After Roarke and Tabitha spotted smoke in the distance, Zara and Corin got closer and saw the smoldering remains of a town called Weltrom. Frank yelled for Ceidron. Like a lot. A few arguments and one sweet headshot later, the party arrived at their destination.

This episode: Our harrowed hooligans made it back to Crestport, moving past trees of hanging soldiers and finding themselves in a sleeping paradise. And who was waiting for them? That good ol' horny boy, Ceidron! Even though things went a little awry for the gang there at the end in Dagger Point, he does have his end of the bargain to uphold...
