Jesters of Ravenloft: A D&D Podcast

The troupe found themselves unexpectedly in a fight for their lives. New Rogue noticed that the scarecrows had disappeared from the nearby field, and just as Del realized that Rumpleforeskin and the cockatrices were frozen, they were set upon by the straw-stuffed beings and eventually cut down. Meanwhile, Shadow Nemesis fought an entire village of gnomes seeking vengeance against him, and even as...

Ignorant of the happenings inside the blacksmith’s shop, New Rogue received a special amulet from the Watchers, and Del received a hand mirror through which she could speak with Lucretia. Meanwhile, Shadow Nemesis shot and stabbed the blacksmith to death, and then—after talking it over with Shadow Master—ate the brain, threw the body into the forge, and decided that if there were no consequences,...

With Tyler still missing, the rest of Wet Change entered a pastoral town, where the townsfolk were waiting to see whose side the General would choose in an upcoming battle. The description of the General just so happened to match Tyler. The troupe were asked to retrieve an important icon for the battle, and so Shadow Nemesis, New Rogue, and the Doctor Deputy secured cockatrices to ride on their qu...

As Tyler clung to a rapidly fading Guy Bradford, the rest of Wet Change—including New Rogue—fell into the mist. Shadow Nemesis was attacked by yet another member of the Nutter family, but the troupe defeated him and found themselves in the picturesque woods of a new domain. Del received a text from her friend Laura and discovered that they’d been gone for a year in earth-time, they came upon a suf...

Amidst the strangeness that seemed to be enticing them to stay in what was formerly Denton Arthur’s realm, the troupe agreed they should leave for the next domain as soon as possible. Guy, however, was convinced that entering the mists would mean certain death, so he abruptly started running away. Tyler chased after him, but it was Shadow Nemesis who stopped him by shooting and mortally wounding h...

Wet Change is on the hunt for New Rogue. Tyler received a cryptic message from Ezra and discovered the entrance to a network of tunnels under Protection Town that could take days to search, Del and Rumpleforeskin concluded that they had to escape the realm as soon as possible, Guy was bewildered at how much his friends have all changed, and Shadow Nemesis found a yet-to-be completed robot prosthet...

The comedy troupe Wet Change have defeated a second darklord and taken over his domain - getting weirder every minute they’re away from Earth! Del, the ghost-whispering bard, keeps finding supernatural friends. Adam McNamara, now the evil barbarian Shadow Nemesis, is determined to get revenge on Ezra, the god who accidentally brought them here. Tyler, the bladesinging hexblood, wants to keep the t...

The troupe finally gained the upper hand against the Dark Lord! New Rogue dealt a strong blow against Denton Arthur, Shadow Nemesis cut off one of his arms, and Del summoned more ghosts to prevent him from fighting back. Tyler called out to remind everyone that New Rogue—as champion of this realm—had to be the one to destroy Denton, but Shadow Nemesis wanted a second Dark Lordship and made a grab...

The troupe continued their desperate battle with Denton Arthur. As the Dark Lord used their own weapons against them, New Rogue was the first to make it past the hole in the floor that had plagued them, Shadow Nemesis summoned some rats, which miraculously attacked Denton’s wife in concert with Del’s shrieking ghosts, Tyler finally broke the latch and brought down the barrier that had been protect...

Wet Change’s companions continued to fight off robots, while the troupe faced Denton Arthur and his Frankensteined wife. With the Dark Lord in possession of their weapons, the troupe did what they could. Del contacted Werner Herzog for tactical information and learned how to release the barrier shielding Denton, Shadow Nemesis boldly scuttled up the wall to face him head-on, and New Rogue miraculo...

The troupe were set free by Rumpleforeskin, who helped them see that Denton Arthur has always been the Dark Lord of this realm. They faced off with flamethrower-wielding robots, but upon closer examination, they determined that the robots were the former citizens of Denton’s village and their constant refrain of “We protect the town” was their desperate attempt to communicate. The boys armoured th...

With New Rogue fighting off death inside his mind, the rest of troupe awoke, bound, armourless, weaponless, and unable to use magic! Tyler and Del speculated on why Denton Arthur imprisoned them, but their questions were soon answered. Denton arrived wearing the Robocop armour, which infuriated Shadow Nemesis, and explained that he was frustrated at not being able to use the bodies in this realm t...

The battle for the fate of the realm raged on! Del used up her magic beans, which created all sorts of bizarre effects, both helping and harming the werefolk, Tyler was knocked out, got back up, accidentally hit Merrith Glimplimmer, and was subsequently knocked out again, Shadow Nemesis challenged Aesyr Sanguine in a complex yet ill-conceived plan and was promptly taken down by his minions, and Ne...

Finally face-to-face with the army, the troupe tried their hand at subterfuge. Tyler pretended to be Streamlabbing Tyler and commanded the armies to stop, Del tried to corral the werefolk to safety within the tree, but she became overwhelmed by screaming ghosts, Adam found himself able to lie again, but at the cost of having his hand-severed off by the truth-compelling bracelet, and New Rogue trie...

The horde is almost at the gates and the troupe sort of has a not-very-good plan! Tyler still plans to parley with the generals while posing as his dead doppelganger, New Rogue might still be planning to pose as his still-living doppelganger, and Del created a large matte painting to hide the werefolk, while Adam emerged from his mind palace as a blend of himself, Shadow Nemesis, and Krispy Kris,...

As the armies drew ever closer, Shadow Master convinced Adam to try to work things out with Shadow Nemesis inside his head, and Del considered a spiritual partnership with Lucretia, while Tyler and New Rogue devised a tentative scheme: Tyler would disguise himself as his doppelganger to meet with the generals and fight them instead of the entire horde, Adam would take Tyler’s Nose Ring to look lik...

While Adam climbed alone to the top of the tree and had an existential crisis, the rest of the troupe tried to find alternative options to fighting the approaching armies. Tyler contacted Ezra for clarification on whether New Rogue could become the new dark lord without have to defeat the current one, but there wasn’t a precedent for it, New Rogue wrote to Denton Arthur to request robotic assistan...

With the army quickly approaching, the troupe started to strategize their defensive plan. Tyler sent Ivan up to do some reconnaissance, Adam failed to get anyone to help him find his missing bag of holding, New Rogue was curious about Del's deflections about the bag and questioned her about it, Rumpleforeskin destroyed the bag in the flames of their body, and Del finally revealed to Adam that the...

The troupe continued to battle Streamlabbing Tyler! Del terrified their foe with disturbing ghostly images, allowing the rest of the party to use the moment of distraction to finish him off, Adam then feasted on Tyler’s doppelganger’s brain, Tyler discovered the purpose of his new ring when it flew to his nose and turned him into a dwarf until he ripped it out, and New Rogue ran through the gamut...

The troupe burst into the next room to find Streamlabbing Tyler with his deadly beard being continually healed. New Rogue made a decisive radiant blow against their foe, Del used her ghostly spells to bolster her friends and hinder their enemies, Adam raged fiercely with his vampire bite, Tyler conjured distracting copies of himself, and Rumpleforeskin took charge of the Doctor Deputy, Jack Magnum...

The troupe used a brief reprieve from battle to prepare for the boss fight. With Shadow Nemesis badly hurt, Tyler bargained with him to heal him but only if he let Adam come back, and Shadow Nemesis finally relented. Del and Rumpleforeskin had a poignant conversation about the uncertain future of their friendship, New Rogue cast a protection spell on the bone horse and Jack Magnum, and Adam used h...
