Adventures in Novus

Squeaky Squeak! Squeaky Squeak! The Chapter 2 finale leads the party into the highest reaches of Castle Greslania, where old vows linger in the ancient stone. Whispers press at the edges of their minds, shadows shift in the halls, and every step draws them closer to a reckoning centuries in the making. At the summit waits a truth none of them are prepared for, one tied to a past long buried, and a...

The war begins! Our heroes must trust that the army they have assembled will hold the surprise undead attack as they try to get past them to the tunnel to sneak into Greslania while the undead are distracted.

There is also a surprise down in one of th...

We go long in this fantastic episode and hilarity ensues with the most ridiculous scene of our podcast yet.
