Demon Dayz: An Actual Play Podcast

There’s a few loose ends for the party to deal with before they can finally leave Edgewater and deal with the troubles ahead, and one of them involves getting the bad news to Scoioel about one of the members of her thieves’ guild The Black Rose. First step...figuring out where the heck she actually is. -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @ movieguyjon -- PLAYERS -- Andrew Staton @ andrew_staton Tony Dane @...

After a lengthy interrogation with one of Melanthar’s cambions, the party takes a few moments to suss out their priorities for the remainder of the evening. -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @ movieguyjon -- PLAYERS -- Andrew Staton @ andrew_staton Tony Dane @ nomsternessy Johnny Recher @ johnnyrecher Samantha Garrison @ samijane613 (Insta) Bryan Dressel @ WhyBryanWhy -- SPECIAL THANKS -- ArcKnight for p...

Combat! The party leaps into action to help Fetter take on Melanthar and his cronies. It’s a rousing battle that yields some surprising information along the way. -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @ movieguyjon -- PLAYERS -- Andrew Staton @ andrew_staton Tony Dane @ nomsternessy Johnny Recher @ johnnyrecher Samantha Garrison @ samijane613 (Insta) Bryan Dressel @ WhyBryanWhy -- SPECIAL THANKS -- ArcKnight...

While making plans for the crew of the Phoenix Blade to grab supplies from the Misty Step, the party is summoned by a foe familiar to Fetter. Not surprising, but definitely concerning. -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @ movieguyjon -- PLAYERS -- Andrew Staton @ andrew_staton Tony Dane @ nomsternessy Johnny Recher @ johnnyrecher Samantha Garrison @ samijane613 (Insta) Bryan Dressel @ WhyBryanWhy -- SPECI...

The party finally gets to the bottom of something that’s been troubling them since the mountains of Gris Norvald, and Taslinn receives some extremely vague and troubling omens from her patron about the party’s future and the future of the world at large. -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @ movieguyjon -- PLAYERS -- Andrew Staton @ andrew_staton Tony Dane @ nomsternessy Johnny Recher @ johnnyrecher Samant...

The party parts ways with Scoioel and makes their way to Golatha’s tower to fill her in on what happened in the Shattered Lands, omitting certain familial details. Once there, they meet an unexpected guest. -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @ movieguyjon -- PLAYERS -- Andrew Staton @ andrew_staton Tony Dane @ nomsternessy Johnny Recher @ johnnyrecher Samantha Garrison @ samijane613 (Insta) Bryan Dressel...

The Sky Ship Phoenix Blade reaches Edgewater and tries to figure out the best place to land to minimize scrutiny. Meanwhile, the party decides to test some loyalties while preparing for a trip into the city. With a lot of pieces in the air, everyone is anxious to get on the move. -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @ movieguyjon -- PLAYERS -- Andrew Staton @ andrew_staton Tony Dane @ nomsternessy Johnny Re...

With Edgewater looming and the potential threat of familial retribution from a Rakshasa, the party plans their next course of action and tries to convince the captain that maybe going to Skypoint isn’t the best course of action.  -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @ movieguyjon -- PLAYERS -- Andrew Staton @ andrew_staton Tony Dane @ nomsternessy Johnny Recher @ johnnyrecher Samantha Garrison @ samijane613...

The Sky Ship Phoenix Blade takes flight, heading back toward Edgewater for supplies and repairs. Along the way Leysa and Taslinn get a chance to take a few members of the crew aside and get to know them better. Fetter gets an unexpected missive from home. -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @ movieguyjon -- PLAYERS -- Andrew Staton @ andrew_staton Tony Dane @ nomsternessy Johnny Recher @ johnnyrecher Saman...

A new day brings deliberation. Where should the party go next? Is Skypoint in their future or do they need to avoid it like the plague? Do they head south to Leysa’s monk order to find answers or seek out the possibility of other towers? A lot of questions in the air but perhaps the most pressing is what the hell happened to Drago? Why is he here now after all this time? -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty...

In general, reunions are pleasant affairs, with the estranged parties coming together and catching up on all that lost time. In the back of his mind, Drago Bernal had hoped reuniting with his son would follow that same formula and they could begin putting their complicated pasts behind them. Fat fucking chance.   -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @ movieguyjon -- PLAYERS -- Andrew Staton @ andrew_staton...

The prolonged engagement starts to turn in favor of the tiefling, but they aren’t free of the danger just yet. There’s still that rift to deal with as well as the fact that this galleon’s arrival was just too damned convenient.  -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @ movieguyjon -- PLAYERS -- Andrew Staton @ andrew_staton Tony Dane @ nomsternessy Johnny Recher @ johnnyrecher Samantha Garrison @ samijane613...

The tableau is pure chaos. Nine hellfire riders advance upon the four tiefling, and once again a tear in the fabric of reality has spit out abyssal spawn. As if that weren’t enough, a flying galleon has just broken the cloud cover, seemingly in pursuit of the riders. Get ready for some serious shit. -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @movieguyjon -- PLAYERS -- Andrew Staton @andrew_staton Tony Dane @nomst...

In the Nine Hells, everything has its place in the grand, infernal hierarchy. Those who work outside of these confines suffer dire consequences. That is, if they get caught. The party discovers that there’s more to the history of this tower than just Modron art and bags of holding, and that some of that history is absolutely terrible. -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @movieguyjon -- PLAYERS -- Andrew St...

One of the more persistent rumors of the age suggests that The Tower of All belonged to the great Mordenkainen and that he commissioned its clockwork infrastructure from the Modrons. As our heroes traverse this physics-defying building, the rumor gains more credence.  -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @movieguyjon -- PLAYERS -- Andrew Staton @andrew_staton Tony Dane @nomsternessy Johnny Recher @johnnyrec...

While working through some things on his watch, Fetter sings a shanty.  -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @movieguyjon -- PLAYERS -- Johnny Recher @JohnnyRecher -- SPECIAL THANKS -- Gordon McAlpin for the art for this campaign! @gmcalpin (twitter, insta) KiloWhat for her amazing portraits of our horny heroes! @KiloWhat_Art (twitter), @thebibliotaph.blog (insta) ArcKnight for providing the minis and props...

With the arboreal threat dealt with, our horny heroes make their way through the last leg of the Low Marshes in the Shattered Lands and reach the dreaded Tower of All. What awaits them on the other side of that darkened spire? Death? Oblivion? Or perhaps it’s something far worse...revelation. -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @movieguyjon -- PLAYERS -- Andrew Staton @andrew_staton Tony Dane @nomsternessy...

COMBAT! A scream and a large whomp is all our heroes have to go on when they awake suddenly in the night. They rush to action, but could they be too late to save their guide from the vile creatures of the Shattered Lands? -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @movieguyjon -- PLAYERS -- Andrew Staton @andrew_staton Tony Dane @nomsternessy Johnny Recher @johnnyrecher Samantha Garrison @samijane613 (Insta) Brya...

A brief conversation between two familiar souls deep within the prison of Trost conjures up distant memories. -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @movieguyjon -- SPECIAL THANKS -- Gordon McAlpin for the art for this campaign! @gmcalpin (twitter, insta) ArcKnight for providing the minis and props used in this campaign. @arcknightgames --- MUSIC FROM https://filmmusic.io --- "Heavy Heart” by Kevin MacLeod (h...

A hundred years ago a massive quake sundered the eastern shores of Valderian, leaving devastation in its wake and creating what is now referred to as The Shattered Lands. The port town of Edgewater to the north managed to turn the geographical blight into something of a tourist trap in later years, giving a minor boost to their stalling economy. And for a time things were considered good, although...

COMBAT! The all tiefling party finds themselves down a captain and surrounded by Lizardfolk. They must keep their wits and work together if they hope to survive this encounter out on the channels of The Shattered Lands.   -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @movieguyjon -- PLAYERS -- Andrew Staton @andrew_staton Tony Dane @nomsternessy Johnny Recher @johnnyrecher Samantha Garrison @samijane613 (Insta) Brya...

While it’s not the open seas, it’s still a journey on a boat and that’s just fine and dandy for Leysa. It’s also a mission and that brings about good memories for her. -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @movieguyjon -- PLAYERS -- Samantha Garrison @samijane613 (Insta) -- SPECIAL THANKS -- Gordon McAlpin for the art for this campaign! @gmcalpin (twitter, insta) ArcKnight for providing the minis and props u...

All the preparations have been made and the party beds down for the night to get some much-needed rest. The next morning, a surprise guest throws a wrench into their plans and gives them pause before their journey.  -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @movieguyjon -- PLAYERS -- Andrew Staton @andrew_staton Tony Dane @nomsternessy Johnny Recher @johnnyrecher Samantha Garrison @samijane613 (Insta) Bryan Dres...

What to do on the last night before a big and fateful journey but check out a smutty bookstore with a quirky proprietor, take a relaxing dip in a hot bath, and go on a philosophical bender at an impossible tree. -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @movieguyjon -- PLAYERS -- Andrew Staton @andrew_staton Tony Dane @nomsternessy Johnny Recher @johnnyrecher Samantha Garrison @samijane613 (Insta) Bryan Dressel...

Taslinn makes her decision after a conversation with Fetter and the party begins their preparations for the journey ahead by making their way to the prominent mercantile of the city - The Misty Step. Turns out there’s a lot of prep when it comes to epic journeys. -- DM -- Jonathan Hardesty @movieguyjon -- PLAYERS -- Andrew Staton @andrew_staton Tony Dane @nomsternessy Johnny Recher @johnnyrecher S...
