Power Word Fail - D&D Actual Play

Join the crew as we discuss Power Word Fail's epilogue: what happens immediately after the campaign and what legacy do the characters leave?

The Failures’ journey began in a cave, with a dragon. It will end the same way. 

The Failures finally make it to the Kyln settlement in the Trakari Wilds. A night of joy and celebration follows as Fyrric and Idalia choose a new future together.

The Failures emerge from Castle Everton to find the city greatly changed. As they journey north, the party discusses what comes next for them, and Fyrric and Idalia decide what they want their future to look like.

Fresh from their victory over the Harbinger of Change, the Failures hope to return to their own plane and get some well-earned rest. The Dark Matron has other plans. 

The Failures finally come face to face with the Harbinger. A battle ensues, and Atrales’ mind is opened to some of what’s happening behind the curtain.

The Failures question their prisoner and devise a bold plan to confront the Harbinger at last, but the snake cultists aren’t quite done with them yet. Fyrric makes a fateful choice regarding the task Zorla laid before them. 

The Failures debate the wisdom of unleashing a magical sword upon the world, discover a complicated new friend, and make some typically chaotic decisions.

The party ventures into the first floor of Castle Everton, where they grapple with the morality of display cases, actually execute on a battle plan for once,  and try not to burn down the library. 

The Failures continue to explore the dungeons below Castle Everton, have more skirmishes with the snake cultists, and learn more about the fate of the Wormleys and the importance of bathtubs with lids. 

The Failures continue fighting their way through the basement of Castle Everton. They confront some familiar enemies and have to unravel the mystery of how to move forward.
