Modular

Well those negotiations went well, I think. Time to go to the Sea of Moving Ice! Hopefully that will be easy. Just have to get that Codicil of White. Easy peasy. I’m not worried. You’re not worried either, right Max Hedman?? Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

So it looks like shit is about to go down. Which is…troubling to say the least. Well hey, at least Bastion got in a good punch of Stonefist. That guys pisses me off. But now they’ll all die together so I guess it doesn’t matter. You know, I feel like this stubbornness was a way to railroad our heroes into a fight…but surely the DM wouldn’t do that, right?? What say you, Max Hedman?? Sound effects...

Gods I hope this is a good idea. I know Stonefist doesn’t trust this situation, but hopefully he will be able to swallow his pride. Or maybe he’s right and everyone will die! That would be a great end to our story. That was sarcasm by the way. Can you tell sarcasm through text, Max Hedman? Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

These goliaths have too much drama if you ask me. Give me a tribe that has like, zero bad things happening to it. I’d chill with them. I just don’t understand generational grudges, I guess. They just don’t make sense. Once most of the old guard is gone, who cares what was done to them? Let the young live their lives. How do you feel about it, Max Hedman? Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Our Bitter Hearts have been through so much. Now they must be peace keepers. While there is nothing wrong with that, I hope they haven’t lost the plot. At least these Goliaths are agreeable. Let’s hope the next group is as well! I can only imagine that they would be! Right, Max Hedman? Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

So now our heroes must head to the snowy mountains to the west of Icewind Dale. This place is too big, if you ask me. It could be a bit smaller. Oh well, at least we get some good story out of it! I’m enjoying myself, definitely! How about you, Max Hedman? Sound Effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Well, time to head northward once again! It seems that these side quests are just endless. I mean I guess this one will help them on their main quest, but gods is this tedious. I wish at least fast traveling was enabled. The instantaneous kind, where the time of day doesn’t change. You know what I mean, right? Anyway, I think we deserve a hearty tune from Max Hedman about now. Where is he..? Sound...

Oh wow, this is very scary. I’m not certain our heroes will be able to pull through. Eight versus three? Those are odds I’m not comfortable with. PLUS Auril watching?? I mean sure, this first round has gone well. But what about the others? Max Hedman, I’m frightened. Can you give me some kind of inspiration to get out of it? Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Oh, that flashback was a bit unexpected. Hopefully we can resolve this upcoming conflict! I’ll be honest, I’m not certain what to expect from this. I’m a bit scared. But I have faith our heroes will be able to prevail. If anyone is capable of ending this madness, it’s the Bitter Hearts! Right, Max Hedman? Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Things are going from bad to worse. A sacrifice every night? There’s no way that can lead to a substantial population. They’re going way mad here, and they need to be stopped. I can’t believe I was rooting for the ten towns. Now it seems there are only two or three towns that are even worth it. Max Hedman, what has this world come to? Sound Effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

That Xardorok was kind of a pushover, wasn’t he? At least our heroes got this over with quickly. Now on the find the orb! Surely they won’t mess around in this fortress for too long. I can’t imagine them wasting time while they know their next move. Very unlike our party to do so. Right, Max Hedman? Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Gods there is so much sneaking around going on in this campaign. It’s absolutely wild. Where is the rushing in to battle? Why so much hesitation? I blame party dynamics. Get me a few good folks and we’ll storm this castle in like thirty minutes. We’ll even have Max Hedman be our drummer boy! Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

So this plan is absolutely going to work, right? There’s no way it will backfire. It’s going to be flawless in execution. They’re going to be in and out of this castle. At least, I hope… They killed everyone, right?? There wasn’t an extra person who was invisible, right? Max Hedman, can you help me calm down? Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Too much debating. Not enough action. Our party just needs to go with their gut! Storm the castle, kill the king, and be rid of the Duergar threat! Or even just go find the Orb and get to the glacier! Gods this is too much for me. Max Hedman, let’s go play some music somewhere else. Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

I’m glad our heroes were able to make it out of Brynshander, but MAN now they have to deal with these flying freaks? Will they ever get a break?? One can only hope. I just don’t feel good about their quest going forward. I would just abandon Ice Wind Dale at this point. What do you say, Max Hedman? Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Thank the GODS that someone is on our heroes’ side! The fact that they got basically everyone together to just shit all over our Bitterhearts makes me so angry. Like honestly, forget the Ten (Six) Towns. They can solve their own problems. I’d be on my way south if I was in their shoes. Also yeah I guess these guards are an issue. They’re inconsequential. Max Hedman, just shoo them away for us. Sou...

Arrested? Are you joking with me? They just literally saved the Ten Towns. These people are so ungrateful. I can’t believe it. I’d just leave the Ten Towns at this point. Fuck these people. Gods this makes me so angry. Max Hedman, can you play me something to calm me down? Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Oh man. This is it, right? They either succeed here or the Ten Towns are destroyed. We can only hope that things turn out alright. But nothing ever really does turn out alright, does it? Man I feel pessimistic about this. Max, can you try to cheer me up? Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

I don’t even really have anything to say or comment. Our heroes need to catch up with that dragon. They need to stop it. I genuinely hope no one dies. I don’t think I can take another loss. Please give them strength, Max Hedman. Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

If a dragon is what they must fight, the a dragon they will fight! This may be the last thing the Bitter Hearts ever do. But dammit, will they get it done! Also does anyone else think they shouldn’t have let that guy live? Like I know they’re not evil, but he certainly is. I hope it doesn’t come back to bite them. Oh well, bigger fish to fry! To arms, Max Hedman, to arms! Sound effects courtesy of...

So wait, if someone can just MAKE a mythalar, why does Auril want the one from Ythryn specifically? Could she not just have one of her followers create one? It seems Macreadius wasn’t too far off, just some tweaks. Perhaps this is something that will come up later? Quite perplexing don’t you think, Max Hedman? Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

So these guys are just two, regular, well-adjusted guys right? No reason to be freaked out by them? No reason to worry about the safety of our party? I mean a placed called the black cabin doesn’t sound ominous at all. Not at all. Max Hedman, why are you playing such creepy music? That’s not you? Oh. Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

The Paladin is so cool. Gods I love him. Them? Maybe. Also what is this Mythallar thing? It seems to be the key between Auril conquering Icewind Dale and our heroes prevailing against her. Truly I hope our heroes can figure things out before it’s too late. Max Hedman, can you play me something that will make me feel less anxious about everything? Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Moose and bodies and bears — Oh my! I mean they’re just bears though. They shouldn’t be too much of a threat. Right? Regardless of what happens here, I hope they find this moose. It can’t keep terrorizing this town. Also they can’t afford to be hated in another town.. Max Hedman, play something over there to get the bears to run away. Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Well now that Beetle has been set to rest, and Redoran has said some serious things to Aumanator, where do we go from here? I’m certain our party will figure something out. It’s not like anything has been time sensitive, right? Oh has it? Uh-oh… Max Hedman, can you play us something to make this a little less..awkward? Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.
