Dear Listener, Pocketing the howl that Lark recorded over night, the trio take Helena to task about her revelation to Sully. With the Government potentially about to be breathing down their necks, Zlata's Grace proves Lark's previous experience true, but what will it say about the situation in Korentus? I guess you're about to find out. --- You can help support the show and get ad free episodes on...

Dear Listener, New acquantences, and maybe even friendships, are formed as the four interact with the Salisander family; learning about Aaron's previous explorations and Korentus' relationship with the fire Orchids. In the evening, they listen in to RT's weekly broadcasts, where Helena is put into a deeper quandry than before - but will she choose to come clean to our trio or continue her mission?...

Dear listener, Whilst negotiating for better protection, Ralph notices odd behavior in the flowers of Korentus, which prompts the trio to learn more about this frozen outpost. And speaking of learning more, Bríyel remains tight lipped with her estranged uncle as she asks for technical help from Ralph, but what is she trying to break into? I guess you're about to find out. Thank you to Jay for voic...

Dear listener, The group arrive late in the evening to Korentus, a place of snow, clothing and a secret cultist - all against the backdrop of howls that ring through the night. But speaking of secrets, is Helen hiding some else, or is she just complicated? I guess you're about to find out. Helen speaks many tongues, hides her true alliegences and yet, claims she wants to speak truth. Of course lik...

Dear listener, Finishing up their exploration at the warehouses, the group returns to the inn. Imparting their words of wisdom through a closed door, the travellers opt to move on as two of them share their experiences similar to that of the young man's plight. As they leave, Sully ensures that future visitors to Nodap are aware of the dangers, but will it be enough I wonder? I guess you're about...

Dear listener, Having an obligation to Gumpendorf, and promising to help the young man at the inn, the four travellers take the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone by Reclaiming an old Pharmacy - which includes breaking into the secure section where the controlled substances would be. Breaking into a place untouched by humanity for nearly a centuary will no doubt holding untold treasures...

Dear listener, Entering Della’s home, the group learns that her home is more than just a place to rest, it is in fact an old meteorological station. And for Lark, they learn that someone long lost, might not be lost for long. All that from a single night and they still have the town to explore. What surprises will it hold?  I guess you're about to find out. Thank you to Rhys for voicing Man Behind...

Dear listener, Finally on their way, the group head down the mountain, across the crystal and into The Cradle proper as they make their way to Korentus, but with night drawing in, will they be able to find a safe haven for the night? I guess you're about to find out. The kindness of strangers seems to be a fickle thing - sometimes it is dependent on the needs of the asker, the availability of reso...

Dear listener, OTI, the investigator, returns with a plethora of information about the local area, which helps our human investigators to plan their next move. However, their new radio operator friend reacts in a surprising manner to a favor to take care of a precious object. Is it possible that their new friends aren't as trustworthy as one might hope? I guess you're about to find out. It's curio...

Dear Listener, Listening is a skill set one must learn to work effectively in this world, and its a crucial infrastructure in The Cradle - so much so that the group pull together to help Helena with the radio tower, going so far as to persuade Araminthia and climb up high to attach the dish. Work that comes with a surprise reward for communicating with friends far away - but how does Helena know a...

Dear Listener, Lacy shows Lark and Ralph her magical healing processes through the medium of tattooing. Refusing to partake in the healing process, Sully instead works on planning their next excursion, perhaps as a means to occupy his mind as the following morning he speaks to his niece for the first time in a decade, but why doesn't she want to speak to him? I guess you're about to find out. Leav...

Dear Listener, The witches of Gumpendorf prove most helpful: with respect to the light magic that they do know, and the knowledge of whom might be able to help them with the more eldritch, weirder kind of magic. With Lacy and Araminthia providing them two people with whom to potentially ask more questions of, I wonder if Sully will get this way about who they will go see? I guess you're about to f...

Dear Listener, This time around, we find our travelers ascending the mountain under armed escort, into the welcoming arms of the Coven at Gumpendorf. Here, they find friends old and new on the highest peak in the middle of The Cradle. But who's old friend do they meet? I guess you're about to find out. Friendship is such a funny thing, don't you think? You can lose contact with people for centurie...

Dear Listener, Reeling after an awful situation, the remaining group members return to the scene of Seekers death to pass the night in relative safety before the long climb up the mountain. Do you think the two men coming down the mountain at them with shotguns will notice the cult's artifact carelessly tossed into the mine? I guess you're about to find out. Thank you to Tanja for allowing us to u...

Dear Listener, Trapped in what should have been safety, the group continue to fight off the darkness that's coming for them. Do you think they regret backing themselves into a corner?

Dear Listener, Opportunities were seized as Seeker decides to take a dangerous risk in order to get to the Book that so mysteriously went missing. After which, the team forges ahead towards Gumpendorf and makes camp in a potentially safe place outside of a mine. Common, you know it's probably not safe, right? I guess you're about to find out. Ah, Violet, took the concept of truth and lies and did....

Dear Listener, Long forgotten memories come to haunt the travelers as they set themselves up for the night. They end up watching shadows and talking until the sun comes up - covering everything from the wisdom of age, lost family and the instinct to run, but will their long night be detrimental to them as they have a long day's trek ahead? I guess you're about to find out. I find the dark strangel...

Dear Listener, The new group started heading towards the witches coven at Diableria, stopping at the first gate to talk with Lilian. Lilian who knows of Aster, Seeker... and obviously Ralph. Seeker not only receives information, but also a protective rune from Lilian, before she makes her way towards the airport. She seems quite nice, Lilian I mean. Meeting old friends is always a strange feeling,...

Dear Listener, Seeker comes bearing coffee and employment, although he is shut out of the room as Lark and Sully discuss a mutual friend. With dreams being dreams and there being a very physical threat of cult activity, the group instead turn to more practical matters as Seeker seeks to join them. Tangling with the cult, even briefly, equaled death for three, I wonder how investigating more direct...

Dear Listener, After meeting with the leader of Diableria, the travelers finally come face to face with Aster's friend Henri, or Seeker as he goes by now. Telling someone that there has been a passing is never an easy thing to do. But when the manner is so unusual, how will Seeker react? I guess you're about to find out. Hmmm. Seeker might have more information than he's letting on - oh my, it's q...

Dear Listener, Last we left, they had decided to follow Aster's last request and head towards Diableria to meet his friend Henri. Sully being Sully, is about to stumble into some familiar faces - not all of whom are friendly. Is approaching so boldy into a Collective a smart move? I guess you're about to find out. It's nice when strangers carry out your last wish. Good for them. --- You can help s...

Dear Listener, OTI makes his way towards the recently crystalized in order to discover what happened to recently departed. Is there encapsulated in the crystal? Is it safe to tread upon? Is anything else hidden in plain sight? I guess you're about to find out. It's amazing what lurks in our subconscious, eh Lark? --- You can help support the show and get ad free episodes on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ at...

Dear listener, Best you find cover if snipers make you nervous, because someone is taking deadly aim for our scavengers. Let's hope everyone gets out of this unharmed. Will everyone find cover and figure out why they're being targeted?
