You’ll hear Alex play Hal, a level 4 Bard. Kaetlyn plays Uitzash, a level 4 Warlock in service to Dendar. Kolton is introducing Krask, a level 4 Lizardfolk Paladin. And Matt plays a level 4 Grung Wizard named Rwrarp (pronounced like a frog noise). Colin was DM’ing this game. We are using the Milestone leveling variant in this adventure.

Today, the players are on fire with the jokes!

But also the characters decide to delve deeper into the mines. They deploy Linguine and Greg to scout ahead, form a plan on what to do next, and then plunge forward with that idea in hand!

This results in initiative being rolled.

I mean… this is Dungeons and Dragons after all.

Then, they find The Pool.

In today’s episode, we have a small time skip at the very beginning of this session. We meet up with the crew in an inn and they’re introduced to Kolton’s new character, the aforementioned lizardfolk paladin, Krask, who makes quite the impression. The players attempt to continue taming the Owlbear who still doesn’t have an official name. Gundren asks the players to go investigate the Wave Echo Cave and is willing to pay them quite a lot of gold to do so. And interspersed within all of this is the characters dealing with the loss of Olo with emotions ranging from sadness to suspicion and uncertainty.
A small disclaimer: We hadn’t seen each other for a few weeks between this recording and the last, so we’re a little silly. Hope you have as much fun listening as we did being goofs!

Please, enjoy the show!

Today you’ll hear the players save Gebbin from a Grick. Maybe that doesn’t sound like the most dramatic experience in D&D history but considering how low they characters are on class features and resources, it wasn’t the easiest task for them. It was also the source of a good amount of amusement for us a group and we hope that you enjoy it as much as we did. It also gave them an excuse to keep working on taming their new pet Owlbear!

*Disclaimer* Colin did forget the accent he established for the owlbear when we had started this recording session, so you will notice that he struggles to hold onto that voice during the course of the recording.
