Our Defenders of the Realm arrive at Mosshaven to find a sleepy little town with a sleepy innkeeper and sleepy townsfolk.  Soon they will see for themselves, or appear to see, why everyone seems so fearful and morose.  Speaking of... it's my nap time.  So while I'm getting my own shut eye, you just sit back, relax and enjoy the soothing sounds of Season 3 Adventure 25 "Drained and Fatigued". - Wat...

Our Defenders, having just cleared the Temple of Soleen of an evil from beyond, find their work is not yet done. Sir Brenros has to make a very difficult decision.

The echoes of the great hall seem to continue without end - wait, no.  That's just a technical difficulty you're hearing.  Some things our Heroes just can't save.  One of those things is 21st century Earth technology.  However!  The King lays out 3 new tasks for our bardless band of Bards.  They all seem equally important, but which do they choose?  I'll give you a hint: Season 3 Adventure 23 "Vir...

You know when you have one of those days that you don't think can get any worse, but then it does?  Like when your body is the only thing that holds two sides of a chain bridge together with giant hooks in your flesh, but then you get torn apart by a well meaning Druid?  Heroes have rough days too!  After narrowly escaping the devices of Raneth, our band of do-gooders know they have to keep pressi...

The plan is set - on both sides.  The laws, new and old, must be enforced.  The vote is being called.  The lines have been drawn and now it is time to pick sides once and for all.  The King has returned, but will be be welcomed?  The people cheer, but for whom?  The powers that be are coming to light while at the same time darkness grows darker.  These events will forever change the future of Mear...

The Commoner's Law has been decreed. In Mearscon some people are in disbelief. Some are scared of what kind of retribution lies in store. Others are ecstatically awaiting for it to come to fruition. Those in power - Senators, Noble Houses and Priests alike - are doing their best to quell the forces of change. But they find their power is not as powerful as it once was against a group of Defenders...

The Festival of the Fall Sun is always a good time when you're in Mearscon.  There are tasty treats sold by pretty girls in the streets, there are games of showmanship that are played out by handsome barrel-chested farmers, svelt archers and majestic riders.  And there are the political games within the walls of the Senate where Senators use the common people like pawns in their vie for power.  Wh...

Our heroes, who split into two groups in order to finish up their respective quests, have a bittersweet reunion back in Mearscon.  Stories are told, ale is drank, laughs belt out and tears fall.  The future is beginning to look grim on one hand yet hopeful on the other.  But there still remain questions of the past and future.  Why did it have to happen that way?  What if they had not split?  What...

While half of our Heroes are away to the north, the rest of them proceed south in what is hopefully the penultimate mission to retrieve the last chalice that was stolen from Calaviaire.  This takes them to the sands of Thave.  Though it neighbors Navarre, most people don't cross the River Red that borders the two lands.  What awaits our adventurers?  You're about to find out in Season 3 Adventure...

It's not a common, nor preferred, decision to go a different path in order to cover more ground and accomplish two pressing tasks at once.  But sometimes the need is great enough to take the risk.  Sometimes, it is not.  Sometimes, the dangerous path is obvious.  Sometimes, it is not.  And sometimes... sometimes... the path offers no return home.  Follow the path to Season 3 Adventure 15 "Jix The...

Take one Idrisyl, a bowl full of cherries, some whipped topping, a game of Hopsies, a gourmet dinner, a senile but deadly wizard. Add 5 more Heroes of your choice (of our choice, actually), simmer in a pot full of wine and garnish with political intrigue and scandalous activities. You now have the recipe for Season 3 Adventure 14, "The Talmaldren Affair" - Watch us live every Tuesday 7pm Pacific a...

You know when you are in a hurry to get out of town and one thing after another comes up before you even get the saddle bags packed? "Oh yeah, I need to grab an extra set of scrolls, just in case." "Oh! And there's the bag of holding that we don't want to forget to bring this time." "Looks like there are some Demons to take care of before we leave." It's that kind of stuff that keeps this podcast...

How many Heroes does it take to start a civil war? Depends. How long does it take to travel a half-day journey? Depends. How many rooms can you fit into a rift in space? Depends. How trustworthy are those who seem most pious, most vigilant, most loyal?

In House Summeral the Heroes find sweet rest and delicious foods.  They also ponder the next step in helping Sir Brenros complete his quest.  This leads them to a tapestry shop with a less than helpful shop owner.  Fortunately there is a customer who proves to be more than helpful with plenty of information and inspiration to tap from.  Egos are stroked, egos are bruised, and bad jokes abound!  Al...

The Defenders of the Realm continue to assist Sir Brenros as they follow their leads to the capital city of Mearscon.  But along the way they happen across some folks in need of assistance.  Arrows fly (and miss), swords and mauls swing (and hit), potions fall short, magic scares everyone, and you won't believe who pulls off the biggest sleight of hand trick EVER.  Oh, and did you know there were...

Our Heroes take another step closer in helping Sir Brenros complete his mission. A mysterious woman may hold answers to important questions, but will she talk?
