Inglorious Bards

Jeremy with a big recap.

Two proud and capable dwarves join the heroes on their quest to liberate the city of Kanebren from a monstrous threat. When the group teleported into what was supposed to be the heart of the city, each of them had different expectations—some imagined a dramatic arrival, others hoped for a magical vault with treasure, maybe even a tavern nearby. But not a single soul predicted they'd materialize th...

The Guardians of Tabonry are no more. The heroes each close a chapter on the lives they once knew, unsure of their next steps. Fortunately, they know someone who can see what lies ahead. Unfortunately, that future holds a threat that is ancient, relentless, and impossible to avoid. 

The Guardians have changed—inside and out. As they journey back home, they realize that their experiences have transformed them not only as individuals, but as a team. Some return feeling like heroes, others burdened by failure, and a few still haunted by unfinished business.

Facing an onslaught of Castle Guards and the lethal Queen Shade assassins, the Guardians' hopes of survival were already razor-thin. But when the Ashen Queen HERSELF descended into the fray, their chances shrank to a mere whisper of possibility. And then, as if the heavens sought to seal their doom, the Jagged Witch—once their ally—turned against them. In that moment, hope wasn’t just lost; it was...

Al Kenet grows tired of the childish games of sneaking around her palace. She is ready to claim the revenge that she has been dreaming of for centuries. The useful idiots that she brought with her have become a nuisance, and they are no longer necessary.  The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of The Jagged Witch, long will she reign. 

A recap through episode 40.

In the dark labyrinth of tunnels beneath the Ashen Queen's palace, Yannick is forced to let Al Kanet lead the quest. Her singular goal is the destruction of the Ashen Queen, and she proves that she will cut down and kill anyone who stands in her way, even the Guardians.    

The Guardians finally arrived at the gates of Kaseer, a formidable religious city state that is the seat of power of the Ashen Queen and her coven of Blood Witches. At the Gates, Zaldor reveals his skills in deception, Galen swears another blood oath, and Yannick desperately tries to keep everyone focused on their deadly serious task. But there are many distractions in the city, and their new cons...

Exhausted, wounded, and barely conscious, the Guardians finally stand face to face with the Jagged Witch, Al Kanet. Unfortunately for them, Al Kanet has not been sleeping; she has been waiting for this fatal battle, so that she can once again taste the blood of her fallen enemies, and finally be set free.

After what feels like weeks of travel through the labyrinth of Al Kanet's tomb, the dazed and stupefied heroes descend into the Jagged Witch's final resting place. All they have to do is defeat an entire coven of Forgotten Witches and Skeletal Mages, and submerge their hands in blood... hopefully not their own.

Seeking protection from the Ash Queen’s detection, the Guardians direction must be genuflection but further inspection of the haunting projections shows bloody infection will mean their subjection.

Jeremy recaps through episode 35.

Galen gets fatigued trying to keep up with Geggy's grueling pace through the Jagged Mountains in search for the Tomb of Al Kanet. Fortunately, the path to the tomb is made clear with some help from Jericho's new friend. 

The Heroes were given 10 steps, each one is more harrowing than the last, that must be completed for there to be any chance for them to destroy the corruption in Thave.  Step one is supposed to be a simple blood test, but blood magic, it turns out, is EXTREMELY dangerous!

The Guardians are brought to a mysterious magical tower, seeking answers to their nearly impossible task of defeating the corruption in Thave. Zaldor is forced to face his past as he and Jericho bond over grief.  

The Guardians barely evade trouble in Sarveed on the quest to Kaseer.  On their way, they encounter a stranger who requires their rescue, but Galen is convinced that they made the wrong choice.

The Guardians are reformed and try to avoid detection as they travel to Kaseer. Zaldor has a couple tricks up his sleeve, but to get into the capitol city, it's going to take a good pickpocket, a face, and a healthy dose of deception, whether Yannick likes it or not.

Jeremy recaps up to episode 30.

Jericho finally destroyed the bundle of silver cords that he and Hemlock had been seeking for days. The explosion created a magical created a magical mist that changed the faces of the Guardians forever, and when the mist lifted, the heroes found themselves surrounded by otherworldly corruption and a deadly enemy that plans to cut their reunion short.

The Guardians survive Fenmarrow Forest only to learn that the road to Kreevorn is littered with assassins, aberrant creatures, and a fate that will change our heroes forever...

Time stops for no one, and the threat in Thave grows closer and more dangerous.  The Guardians find themselves desperate to answer the call, and to find the lost faces that Jericho and Hemlock so desperately miss.  Unfortunately , time stops for no one and a difficult decision must be made.

Hemlock ties up a loose end, and all the Guardians plan for a long, dangerous journey to Thave. All except Jericho, who is determined to do anything to find his missing friend. Even if it costs him everything.  

After a deadly confrontation nearly disrupts the celebration at Newall, Mayor Plen decides that he should hire some of the Guardians for a NEW type of job. Jericho and Hemlock struggle with the knowledge their friends are not who they thought they were.
