Jesters of Ravenloft: A D&D Podcast

With a tremendous fireball, New Rogue blasted the troupe into a new day. He expressed his disappointment in Del for refusing to protect Jack Magnum and rode off, Tyler revealed his had lost faith in his ability to lead the troupe, and Shadow Nemesis took advantage of Tyler’s mental state to lie about his intentions and immediately tried and failed to kill Gregernant Mahn with the talisman. Hearing...

Del and Tyler pleaded with New Rogue to take responsibility for his actions, including any ill-advised deals made with succubi, while a group of trolls and orcs confronted Shadow Nemesis over his possession of Melisandre’s body and the stolen Talisman of Ultimate Evil. More and more enemies arrived and the troupe fought for their lives, but then Tyler died, Shadow Nemesis was dying, and Del rememb...

Wet Change finished fighting their enemies, and returned to fighting each other! Del forced Shadow Nemesis to drop his axe, and Tyler stowed it away before using the brief moment of calm to talk Werner into possessing the empty doll. Shadow Nemesis had a breakdown when he realized Gregernant was stronger than him, he apologized and gave out thank you coupons to almost everyone, and then he discove...

The troupe continued to fight bodily possession on multiple fronts. Finding herself body-less, Melisandre tried to join with New Rogue, but the cleric didn’t want her to live a life trapped inside him, so he shoved her out and Del called upon Lucretia, who whisked the gorgon away to hell. But New Rogue felt bad for Melisandre so he traded a future favour to Lucretia for her safety. Meanwhile, Wern...

The fight for Shadow Nemesis’s body raged on! Tyler used his magic to stun, hold, and disarm Melisandre in Shadow Nemesis’s body throughout the battle, New Rogue tried to negotiate with Melisandre but was caught out when he discovered he couldn’t revive a headless body, Shadow Nemesis and Werner Herzog wrestled as they both tried to get to Shadow Nemesis’s body first, and Del could have ended the...

Wet Change once again has a body-swap problem on their hands. Del and Rumpleforeskin decided it would be best for everyone to just kill Shadow Nemesis today, and the Mists fast-travelled them all to the caves. Shadow Nemesis made several plans to get back into his old body, each of which ended in the same gruesome way, Tyler didn’t think the plans would work but decided that Shadow Nemesis should...

Devastated by the loss of her only connection to her friends on earth, Del took Jack Magnum and Rumpleforeskin to find the final battle and see what she could discover without the boys. New Rogue put a magic collar on Medusa Nemesis, but when it had no effect on the Gorgon’s curse, they engaged in their longest argument yet before New Rogue got tired and gave up. Meanwhile, Tyler took over negotia...

The troupe spent the start of their day dealing with the Medusa in their midst. Del made blinders for Rumpleforeskin to protect them from Medusa Nemesis’s gaze, Doctor Deputy Extreme shattered into pieces inside Del’s portable hole, New Rogue became upset when he tried to ask Ezra questions through Tyler and Ezra wouldn’t answer, Tyler used Ivan to prove that Shadow Nemesis’s sunglasses wouldn’t p...

The troupe seemed to be outmatched by the Medusa, as Tyler was stuck using Ivan’s echolocation to see and Shadow Nemesis broke out of his petrification only to die as a pile of goo. New Rogue attempted peace negotiations with their foe and brokered a deal to trade the Icon of Ravenloft for some Tylenol, but Del had used her bloody ghost powers in the meantime to allow Shadow Nemesis to interact wi...

The troupe exchanged items and discovered proficiencies they had forgotten before approaching the deep caves. Del summoned the ghost of a Stonebreaker, who led them to the cave’s hidden entrance, and Shadow Nemesis convinced the guards he was a cleric of Mask to gain access to the boss’s chamber, where he was immediately turned to stone. Once the boss was revealed to be a Medusa and Jack Magnum wa...

The troupe arose from their rest only to encounter the Punksters, a bunch of goons demanding that Tyler repay the gold he apparently owed them. Del got to work covertly conjuring gold pieces with her reality paints after Tyler removed the curse from her armour, and Shadow Nemesis tried to convince the gang to go after Gregernant Mahn instead, but it was New Rogue who somehow converted the Punkster...

After Tyler fought his way into a T-Rex’s stomach and used his magic to drag the Reaper’s Scream through its body from the inside, his friends pursued the dinosaur as it ran, trying to save Tyler’s life. New Rogue leapt through the trees before missing the dinosaur altogether with a jump attack, Del continued to shoot at the monster using Doctor Deputy Extreme as a table, and Shadow Nemesis commen...

The troupe just defeated a demon-gorilla only to find themselves face to face with a gigantic Tyrannosaurus Rex. New Rogue managed to use his healing magic to bring both Tyler and Shadow Nemesis back from the brink of death, Shadow Nemesis tried to convince Dwarf-Ivan to distract the T-Rex so he could burrow into its brain, and Del instructed her giant badger to help Tyler and it tore into the din...

The troupe once again confused helping their friends with hurting them. New Rogue summoned a T-Rex and led it to the rest of the party before he lost control of the dinosaur and it attacked them all, Del was ready to give up until the Doctor Deputy Extreme convinced her to keep fighting and she finished off Rage-narok, Shadow Nemesis was in rough shape and was himself finished off by DDX for refus...

The troupe tried to survive combat with the demon gorilla, Rage-narok. Tyler tried to blind the beast but almost Shadow Nemesis instead, Shadow Nemesis exchanged blows with it in a vicious melee and was repeatedly hit with a necrotic-powered blade, and Del summoned more animals to join the fray and aid her friends. Meanwhile, New Rogue ventured deeper into the jungle, away from the battle, to sear...

The troupe prepared for an impending fight! When drums started playing in the distant woods, Del donned the Huntress’s armour only to discover that it makes her worse at everything and she can’t take it off. Tyler blamed himself for Del’s predicament and used himself as bait to lure in the demon gorilla, Rage-narok. As combat began, Shadow Nemesis used his new ring of invisibility to strike at the...

Still separated from the rest of the troupe, Shadow Nemesis survived the owl’s crash landing, was chased through the forest by a giant T-Rex, and narrowly escaped being eaten by summoning rats to form a man-shaped distraction. Meanwhile, Tyler explained the basics of human reproduction to New Rogue, New Rogue finally understood that he didn’t hatch from an egg, and with Ivan’s help, Del found Shad...

With Shadow Nemesis trapped in the belly of an owl, the rest of troupe engaged in desperate combat with dinosaurs! Tyler tried to save Del from certain death and cast haste on himself to great effect before being accidentally struck down by New Rogue, but luckily the cleric healed his friends and drove off the beasts. New Rogue then went off to bring back the fleeing Doctor Deputy Extreme, and Del...

The troupe decided that Shadow Nemesis could handle his owl problem on his own and continued on toward the caves. New Rogue confidently led them in the wrong direction through a dense jungle, they discussed the conundrum of having lost an hour in the morning, Del revealed that she’d learned that every day spent in this realm was a month back on earth, and Tyler had a philosophical discussion with...

The troupe awoke to a new day, but found themselves having lost their usual first hour. Shadow Nemesis was haunted by his continual failure to kill Gregernant Mahn, Tyler was temporarily struck thoughtless when he attempted to remove his cursed earring and discovered his new ring would leave him vulnerable in his sleep, Del secretly consulted Lucretia about how to deal with Shadow Nemesis, and New...

After Del and the squire defeated the severed head, the troupe barricaded the monastery so they could rest and tend to their wounds. The squire asked for a new name, and Del renamed him Doctor Deputy Extreme, Tyler collected Shadow Nemesis’s corpse and dumped it into the portable hole for safe-keeping, New Rogue was challenged by Rumpleforeskin to consider whether Ezra really was a benevolent god,...

The troupe were safe from the undead but not from each other! Shadow Nemesis believed his friends were possessed by Gregernant Mahn before he fell off a roof, died, and became a bat-winged severed head that could only speak in vowels. Del was so afraid that she hid behind Tyler, New Rogue fainted, woke up, tried to attack the head, missed, and nearly killed Tyler, the Doctor Deputy began stealing...

Interparty conflict came to a head between the barbarian and his former minion. Shadow Nemesis attempted to break the Doctor Deputy’s new cool bow, Del knocked him unconscious with harsh words, he recovered only to get stomped by Rumpleforeskin, and New Rogue stabilized him once more. Tyler tried to calm Shadow Nemesis down so he wouldn’t hurt himself of anyone else and eventually let him leave to...

The troupe found themselves with a horde of undead still remaining between them and their goal. Tyler had crushed the Huntress with his alchemayo jug, New Rogue finally received the Sun Blade back from Jack Magnum, Del gave the Doctor Deputy her cool bow and blew his mind when she told him he did a good job even though he had missed his target, and Shadow Nemesis searched an empty hole and refused...
