The Deck of Some Stuff: a prototype to the Deck of Many Things? Or is it more of an “Apprentice’s First” type situation? Whatever the source, it doesn’t stop the Idiots (aka Xelas and Rokain) from drawing handfuls of cards. The Wise (aka Ygin and Kaxus), on the other hand, only take a few. Yet when Fortune favors the Bold, the results, whether good, bad, or maybe even a little silly, might not be...

Without the immediate threat of the Ichor snarling at their backs the heroes have time to enjoy their various activities, recruit help from one another, and have some meaningful conversations. Though Ygin and Kaxus might find themselves getting closer, Xelas accidentally gives Rokain way too much food for thought. And, at the end of a long day, a friendly face makes a nighttime appearance. Content...

At last there’s time for the heroes to enjoy a well-deserved break before they prepare for the next move against the Ichor. Thiel’s enjoyable company also brings lots of fun stories and a few, potentially unwanted, revelations for some. Rokain might be working off a debt to Thiel but it’s Ygin who’s really tied up on the ship. Content Warnings: explicit language, allusions to sexual encounters Tra...

The unexpected visitor has brought an equally unexpected opportunity…for shopping! Aboard the good ship Magpie, a treasure trove of interesting items waits to be explored and possibly purchased. Kaxus even nets a nice discount for Ygin, Rokain and Xelas too. But making a profit isn’t the only thing the visitor has his eyes on. Content Warnings: explicit language Transcript Check out our Patreon an...

Now safe and sound again in the bunker, it’s not quite the relaxing breather the heroes had been hoping for. There’s foreboding dreams, wild new abilities, concerning glitches, an unexpected visitor, and Kaxus actually wants to go outside!? The mystery deepens when Rokain’s research unearths an ancient diary with a strange name written inside. A name which even Eko doesn’t recognize and which hold...

Whether it’s pulling Remaria back from the brink or pulling Xelas out of the fight, desperate times mean desperate measures for Ygin and Rokain. Luckily, this time, Ygin’s learned a thing or two about saving someone from Ichor. On the downside, Remaria’s memory has only marginally improved and Tilly knows how to cover her tracks, and her evidence, all too well. Content Warnings: explicit language,...

Precious seconds are ticking away rapidly and Rokain, Ygin and Xelas must think quickly. Optimism says they can surely both stop Tilly and save Remaria, and Experience hasn’t yet taught them there’s advantages in numbers which means it’s time to split the party. Ygin needs to hurry though Remaria’s house is strangely conveniently close; Rokain discovers Xelas doesn’t understand the concept of a ch...

You know what the storybooks never mention legendary heroes having to do? Attending an autopsy, which is something Xelas, Rokain and Ygin could’ve quite happily continued their lives without. But being sick has its benefits, even if Xelas has to fake it, and that’s the chance to poke around Tilly’s office. Was it truly a ploy to gain the coroner’s job or does Tilly have something else up her devio...

After a frustratingly uninformative night, split paths and party members reconvene at the totally legit, absolutely not a front, and shockingly rat-free Inn (complimentary coffee included; petting the cat not guaranteed). And the reunion comes with gifts: cool, sparkly magic items courtesy of Kaxus. Together again, and with Rokain playing up the family name, it’s back to what’s left of the casino...

The trail to finding the culprit behind the attack at the casino has branched quickly. From Kayleigh’s mother, who’s clouded memory is a suspicious sign, to a very charming tiefling who runs a snorkeling business, and even to the potential next constable to-be, it’s quite the web of suspects the heroes must unravel. Unbeknownst to Ygin and Xelas, Rokain has another pressing matter on his mind too....

Miraculously, Kayleigh, the waitress the heroes met shortly after entering the casino, survived the attack. With her safely in her house and Rokain 'watching' her, Ygin and Xelas head for the dubiously-named Clammy Hand bar in search of Kayleigh's mother. Finally on a trail and hopefully headed for answers, they forget something has been on their tail as well. Rokain better shake off his existenti...

It’s a losing battle inside the Beza Casino despite the heroes’ considerable efforts. With Ichoric creatures and infected humanoids at every turn, Ygin and Rokain recognize when it’s time to get out. Xelas, however, takes some more convincing.

The Ichor is back! This time in the form of small cephalopod-like creatures which, really, is much more terrifying than it sounds. Especially since they’re accompanied by legions of Ichor-infected humanoids eager to maul anything in their path. While the masses of previously happy casino-goers bolt for the exit, Rokain, Ygin and Xelas attempt to hold back the swarm. But Rokain and Ygin are about t...

Kaxus’ vague instructions has led to predictable results: the heroes scratching their heads and uncertain of what to do next. There’s a lot to look at inside the Beza Casino and even more people to talk to. If they can figure out just who they should talk to and how to ask questions without coming across as utter weirdos. It’s a high bar for Xelas and Rokain. Ygin, not so much. Maybe a couple of r...

In the beautiful Laith, the true evil isn’t the Ichor. It’s capitalism. The new Beza Casino is all glitz and glam and greed after trampling the locals into the mud. Outside, a desperate woman begs for signatures on her petition, but Rokain isn’t about to lend his weighty family name to help for such a silly reason. What a ridiculous notion! Content Warnings: explicit language, oppressive capitalis...

Special inside look! Episode 5: Teamwork's Talk Back (Hyperfocus) episode had some unintentional RP in it we decided should be canon, and we wanted people to know some of the cool stuff they'd get to experience by joining our Patreon.

Teamwork makes the dream work (maybe). At least there’s some training occurring and that’s progress of some sort. Xelas practices his magic, Ygin revives a millennia-old forge, Kaxus puts aside ancient rules, and Rokain experiences more emotional constipation. Well, progress for three out of four is pretty good... And stay tuned next week for an exclusive look at what our talk back shows are about...

Finally, some answers! But with such unhelpful descriptions like “shining darkness” and vague instructions like “investigate,” are they really getting anything useful? They can only hope the strange gauntlets Kaxus provides will actually be helpful at some point. On the other hand, the steamy romance novel Ygin finds is sure to provide.

Along the shore, there’s plenty of sorrow and Mackerel Joe’s to be had. Yet, do not despair! For he has risen…and walked right into his embarrassing, overbearing mother who still thinks she knows best. Maybe Xelas should’ve stayed dead.

A victorious battle but still no time to stop. There’s homes to visit, families to reassure (and horrify), and magic and ancestry to be discovered. Rokain’s family certainly comes as a shock to Ygin and Xelas. The guide, Kaxus, manages to avoid a shock of his own.

Destiny has roped in its chosen heroes and they naturally have a lot of questions and concerns. But there's no time for that! Evil is already afoot and determined to draw the heroes out. And what better way to do that than to threaten innocent loved ones?

Every heroes' journey begins somewhere. Unfortunately for Ygin, Rokain and Xelas they weren't heroes and their journeys started with maiming, near death, and mostly unwilling kidnapping. Because Destiny didn't merely come knocking - it smashed the door down.
