Sagas of the Sunless Reach

Episode Notes Does an Errols’ penchant for harming others know no bounds? Aldrich’s experiments, the Anglers. Stanislaw. Sorren. My mother. And here I sit, naïve and, worse still, ignorant. Back at the start of this, I had asked Sorren something about what they might have wanted when they were first free of Aldrich Errol’s clutches. It seems such a stupid question now. What do I think I could do t...

Episode Notes Content warning for graphic violence It is almost refreshing to be back on a job that is as simple as ‘there is a beast; hunt it’. Viidra fills us in on local lore as we travel, and even Apricus has some knowledge stored away from an old academic paper, so we have some general information on Ol’ Bone Snapper before we head into battle. ‘Pig-like’ and ‘massive boar’ seem to be the bes...

Episode Notes Content warning for graphic violence and depictions of suicide Our conversation with Cipru was immediately cut short by an ambush of members of the Sangele — a riverboat mafia, who must work at odds against the Wolf Armada. But, according to Cipru and Viidra, this ambush is out of character for them. They both agree that there is something far more sinister behind this attack, as Tom...

Episode Notes Content warning for graphic violence The Wolf Armada is a well-oiled machine — and like anything coated in oil, it is wont to conflagrate with very little provocation. I do not like feeling as if I have to tread on eggshells where Ksana is concerned, but she is willing to turn every confrontation with a hostile force into a fight. Even when discretion is the better part of valor. Tha...

Episode Notes Content warning for graphic violence I can’t decide if it is easier to fight against undead that can speak or not. I can fight against other humans (or vampires, I suppose) no problem. The early warning system set up by Vanatori with undead strapped to trees was gruesome but easy to deal with. They were unintelligent creatures being used for a purpose by a cruel man. Bog mummies are...

Episode Notes A year is a long time to spend in one place, even though I know we're doing good work here. So when they suggested that we expand our reach beyond just Ruel, I might have leapt at the chance. I agreed to stay, but that doesn't mean I don't chafe at the decision; should have left when Orin did, honestly. I hope they're okay out there -- it's hard to get word back to the fort, even whe...

Episode Notes One year has passed since our heroes killed Aldrich Errol and helped the Rams free the people of Ruel. Since then, they've spent the time securing their place in the parish and struggling to get an upper hand on trade blockades and fighting back against increased road warden patrols. There is only so much that technology and primal magic can do to help mitigate the dwindling supplies...

Content warning for graphic violence Tell me truly, as you stand before your mighty victory: Was your heroism honest, or was it noxious trickery?
