Gold & Glory! (a D&D Podcast)

Despite almost insurmountable odds, the G-team claims a very narrow victory against the Regent Lord Abraxis and his insurrectionist co-conspirators, and Queen Sorsha is restored to her rightful place on the Throne of Lemuria.  Theo solicits customer feedback.  Siona negotiates some expedited leatherwork, Selina's predictions largely come true, and Turinn...well you'll just have to find o...

With Queen Sorcha released from her curse, our fearless franchisees quickly move to find the Regent, only to find that he, and his elite Dragonguard, are doing the same, and are scouring the Royal chambers for the interlopers.  Lemuria's finest, against an exhausted g-team?  Bring it on!

Emerging from the Maelstrom,  a massive underwater shrine and ziggurat emerges, literally a new island in emergence.  The g-team gets their own personalized divine or mystical revelations, and Turinn, the proud owner of yet another new magic sword, also grows more alternate body parts.  Reunited with Princess Chronaar, and faced with a possible insurrection, the G-team has some important, and diff...

Emerging from the Maelstrom, the Ziggurat Shrine rises above the waters, streaming a beacon of radiance that pierces into the sky itself, giving birth to a new island in the centre of Lake Lemuria, and out pop our heroes, who, each in their own way, have a mysterious encounter with powers beyond the pale.  And Turinn?  He transforms....again!  

Entering the lower chambers of the underwater shrine, our Fearless Franchisees arrive at a nexus of primal power, the site where the ley lines converge, and where, with Selina's help, a Dragonborn Celestial is trapped within the confines of a Magic Circle.  But treachery abounds, as Minister Sauriv is revealed to be a powerful agent of the Shadows, summoning through a dark rift, terrifying ne...

Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!  Oh sorry, wrong podcast.  Which is this one now?  Oh!  Gold and Glory?  You mean the special episode?  You mean the one where there are meandering miscreants, oh sorry exploited entrepreneurs that are subcontracted by Dran Enterprises...oh right.  No affiliation whatsoever with Dran Enterprises… anyways, these meandering miscreants, have accepted a mission to infiltra...

A "Gold and Glory" take like you've never seen before.  An alternate tale of adventure, intrigue, and corporate machinations - featuring special one-shot guest players, and a special one-shot Dungeon Master, who normally players the role of our brash and beloved bard, Siona.   In more ways than one, it’s a tale of the “lower decks” on board the Sea Ghost.  Enjoy!  

When last we saw our heroes… Returning the pearl to Bonnie, the giant clam provides them a white pearl, which when merged with Clive’s black pearl unlocks the portal, which until now, has eluded all of the g-team’s attempts to open. Silvery radiance floods into the chamber, and appearing in the place of their stone statues, are three hauntingly beautiful guardian spirits, who speak together with o...

Beneath the Maelstrom, in a sacred shrine dedicated to three gods, our Fearless Franchisees brave its hidden depths, searching to unlock the keys to a sealed portal behind which they hope holds the cure to Queen Sorsha's curse.  Riddles and mysteries await the g-team, who continue the search for Bonnie's pearl, and the secret of the Star Sisters.  What do they guard, or guard against?  G...

Venturing into the depths beneath the Maelstrom, the G-team explores an ancient shrine dedicated to three gods - Athanor, god of duty, honour, and battle.  Ra'an - god of the seas and storms, and Vedric, Trickster god of commerce, merchants, and thieves.  Oh.  And more giant clams, and more pearls!  Tests of strength and tests of wit abound, as well as tests for the ummm....witless.    

Faced with choosing between inciting an uprising to overthrow the Regent Lord Abraxis and trying to remove the curse that plagues both Queen Sorsha and the kingdom, our Fearless Franchisees brave the Maelstrom in search of what lies beneath.  Are they in for some surprises!  Turinn bulks out.  The G-team tries breathing underwater and tries to speak shellfish.  And pearls!  Lots of pearls!

With Turinn declared a traitor, and the G-team along with him, our Fearless Franchisees are faced with some difficult decisions.  Can they successfully mount an insurrection against Regent Lord General Abraxis and his Dragonguard cronies?  Who are their allies?  Sources of Information?  What is causing the mysterious curse that has struck down the Queen, and may be starting to spread further withi...

Fleeing the Royal Chambers of Queen Sorsha, the g-team follow a secret passageway into Lesser Lemuria, where for a time, they are granted sanctuary.  However, their respite is ever so brief, as the Dragonborn sound the alarm, and begin the search for our Fearless Franchisees, who have, for all intents and purposes, have become fugitives, along with Princess Chronaar.  Theo casts an Augury.  Siona...

In pursuit of Princess Chronaar, our Fearless Franchisees find their way into the Royal Way barred by Elite Dragonborn Shieldguard, and Spellguard, whose duty is to protect the Queen, Regent, and other members of the Royal Family.  Selina and Theo try their hand at hypnosis. Siona turns on the charm, and the G-team are faced with some new revelations, secrets and tough decisions. All this and more...

Attending a State Dinner gone horribly wrong, our Fearless Franchisees attempt to earn their keep by doing battle with a terrifying Shadow Beast. Kt’Niss gets creative. Theo gets excited.  There is even a Princess to be rescued!  All this and more, on Gold and Glory - The Tides of Change! 

Our Fearless Franchisees enter Lemuria proper, eager to explore the kingdom that Turinn calls home.  However, they encounter more than a few things that they, and especially Turinn find troubling.  Apparently Queen Sorsha has imposed a caste system which divides Lemurian society into Warrior, Worshipper, and Worker castes.  In trying to find the source of the razor clam and coral disease, the team...

Having survived a deadly encounter with a Riftspawn Leviathan and a horde of Sahuagin raiders, the G-team set sail towards the maritime kingdom of Lemuria.  The kingdom, however, it seems has undergone significant changes since Turinn left. Edeth gets some new javelins.  Turinn sees some old friends.  Siona practices Lizardfolk etiquette, and Selina makes another accurate prediction!  All this and...

One big honkin' combat!  Gold and Glory fights a Riftspawn Leviathan, Giant Sharks, and Sahaugin reavers who threaten the Sea Ghost!  Nuff Said!   

Finally!  The G-team cast off with the Sea Ghost and sail away from Saltmarsh into the Shimmersea.  Under Captain Kanti's helm, the crew are in high spirits for their Gold and Glory maiden voyage.  Edeth celebrates.  Turinn has another dream.  Siona throws a flute at her fans.  Theo breaks out his star-charts, and Kt'Niss gets seasick.  Oh - and a dark storm is brewing on the horizon.  

With shore leave winding down and the Sea-Ghost looking ship-shape, the G-team makes final preparations before leaving on their arms trade journey to the kingdom of Lemuria.  The franchise launches the "Virout" cure for the Cabama virus. Turinn has another dream.  Siona has a friendly chat with Dran Enterprises.  Kt'Niss tries again to track her furry friend. Selina...goes on a date...

Our Fearless Franchisees continue to spread the fake news of the so-called "Cabama" virus in an effort to discredit their competitors.  Selina puts into motion expansion plans for Tl'actoq' Teas and Tisanes.  Siona tries to fast talk the town council into releasing emergency funds to deal with the virus, and the G-team returns to the Sea Ghost, only to find that bankruptcy loom...

Safely back in Saltmarsh, our Fearless Franchises return to the Sea Ghost, their floating Headquarters and Casino.  There, inspired by the creative musings of their resident bard, the g-team hatches a tall tale about a contagious virus being spread by Dran Enterprises.  Siona goes shopping.  Selina swindles some tourists, while Theo, Kt'Niss and Turinn speak with the Dead, getting a little mo...

Using the Mirror Shard to transport back to Saltmarsh, our Fearless Franchisees remove their Faerie curses, interrogating Pog and the Wizard Keledek over tea.  Turinn breaks out of a blood coral cage.  Siona invents a new plague, and the G-team uncover a secret society, and learn a cool drinking song!  Join us, for Gold and Glory!
