Imprinted Echoes

Although it seems like nothing is being purposefully kept from them, the information the party has doesn’t seem to be what they’re looking for. In an attempt to find more specific answers, they each branch off to do their own versions of data collection. Fanatic followers are interviewed, datasphere depths are plumbed, and higher knowledge is sought. Join us as Nehemiah, Smalren, and Jhori search...

** With the caravan stopped for a longer period than planned, everyone uses the opportunity to take stock of their situation. The Luminous Procession  leaders have given the group permission to rejoin with the rest of the caravan but even still, keep distance seems to be the better idea at least for today. As a new dawn breaks though, it’s time to saddle up and get back to their duties. Recip...

The leaders of the Luminous Procession have come to talk. As it turns out, Nehemiah’s situation has been caused by a perfect storm of seemingly unconnected events. And now with the details of the entire circumstance on the table, it puts everyone in a tough position without a clear option on how to proceed. Tattoos are revealed, connections are confirmed and meditation is attempted. Join us as Neh...

The ritual was interrupted. Whatever beings the group carries the influence of, they decided to try and reach out during the Luminous Procession’s alignment process. With such a drastic and dangerous disruption, the caravan leaders obviously want to talk. But they give everyone time to catch their breath. Which also gives them time to have a few conversations. Options are given, visions are drawn,...

This episode is going to take a slightly different format than most. This is something we did way back near the beginning of season one and thought it would be a good time to bring it back. We’re going to take a short moment with each character to get their inner thoughts and personal considerations on the things that have happened recently. So join us Nehemiah, Smalren, and Jhori reflect. Music a...

Anatrea’s answers have proven to be frustrating to say the least. It’s hard to tell someone they’re doing something wrong when it also seems they’ve done everything by the book, so to speak. However, her interest in the data sphere may yet open up new avenues of information. Connections are affirmed, feelings are expelled, and I told you so’s are uttered. Join us and Nehemiah, Smalren and Jhori Ge...

Facing off with the Bellowhearted experiment has left everyone off balance.

Assurances that the Bellowheart call was harmless within the walls of Castle Aventur were in fact too good to be true.

Poison is administered, creative tactics are employed, and leaders are sternly addressed. Join us and Nehemiah, Smalren and Jhori encounter the Bellowh...

Once inside Castle Aventur, our adventurers and the caravan set to unloading supplies and looking around. The courtyard full of nanos, experiments, and equipment is the perfect place to do a little poking about. And as it turns out, this place is more than just a space for people to work. The stakes are in fact a bit higher. Offers are made, competition is uncovered, and disagreements are settled....

The call of a Bellowheart has put everyone on edge. But a few more hours on the road doesn’t do much to calm anyone’s nerves once the group realizes where the sound is coming from. Turns out they might be in for more than they bargained for in their stop at Castle Aventur. Calls are located, sandwiches are accepted, and curiosity is piqued. Join us and Nehemiah, Smalren and Jhori venture to Aventu...

Leaving their temporary life of piracy behind, our party finds themselves in Wyrfall. Known for its tiered levels surrounding a massive waterfall, the city provides some very unique goods and services. Given that their initial plan has been thrown out the window, this seems like the perfect place for everyone to regroup and find a new path home. Back alleys are explored, caravans are arranged, and...

Now very unnerved, the party members met below deck to hear about Nehemiah's discovery concerning the doppelgangers.

Join us and Nehemiah, Smalren and Jhori try to connect the dots. Mu...

The crew of the Red Wake, eager to get a better payout than their last endeavor, has set their sights on a merchant barge heading their way along the river. But what they thought would be a quick and easy target turns out to be anything but. Markings are recognized, voices are recognized, and faces are, you g...

A few days on the water has done almost everyone a bit of good. Even though poor Haddock is a tad sea-sick, everyone else seems to have taken to some part of ship-living fairly well. The crew is an interesting sort and there are plenty of places to poke around. Rigging is utilized, the ship is examined, and friendship is attempted. Join us and Nehemiah, Smalren and Jhori settle in. Music and SFX C...

Please be aware that Zann's audio is a little odd sounding in this episode due to some recording issues. It's still listenable but it'll sound different than usual. Passage aboard the Red Wake has been granted by Captain Ironthroat. The party settles in as the crew get the vessel ready for voyage. While choosing a ‘boat of ill-repute’ was a good choice for discretion, will it be a good choice for...

Split up between different tasks, our concerned adventurers take steps to get out of Qi as fast as possible. While Jhori goes to retrieve their belongings, she realizes she left something very important behind. And as Smalren and Nehemiah search for safe transport up river, they realize that their passage might not coast what they originally anticipated. Companions are retrieved, pirates are conve...

Everyone has escaped the pressure that had been building in one of Qi’s most exclusive night clubs, but that doesn’t mean they are out of trouble yet. In fact, leaving the city as soon as possible has become the utmost priority.
