Seasons of Skyrend

Bk. 04 Ch. 06 Finnigan and Rystos may have burst onto the scene in wildly different manners, but perhaps they can learn to work together. After all, both have much to reveal. As the party seeks rest and refreshments in The Duke's Lament, they must also face some of their own shortcomings. Arannis' divine magic is proving difficult to control, so maybe what the party really needs is a teacher.   Mu...

Bk. 04 Ch. 05 Dangerous plant creatures burst through the ground to assault the party as they travel to a well-known roadside tavern: The Duke's Lament. Terrifying creatures bloom from enormous stalks, but it's an eerie laughter from below the ground that is the most disturbing. As the battle rages on, young Mahogany returns with a new allies in the form of a tiefling and drake team whose true goa...

Bk. 04 Ch. 04 Striking out from the capital, the party heads south towards Earl and La Berra. There is a lot of ground to cover, and the party has undergone some changes. Though they have said goodbye to their Denouement allies, they have gained several faces both new and old. Samudio, happy to be on the road again, is already angling to make a quick stop to enjoy some pleasures of the roadside. T...

Bk. 04 Ch. 03 The Church of Rebellion has successfully endorsed the power grab of the giants, lead by Elder Gar'Shen. On top of that, they seem to have attracted the attention of several individuals. As the founders of the church return from the Holy Hall of Tren'Ga, they are faced with a new group with their own desires. But it is the plans of older compatriots that will turn them on a new path....

Bk. 04 Ch. 02 Killing a king and creating a new church has a way of drawing attention. That sort of ambition and influence can be seen as a threat or as a tool, and it doesn't take long before other parties try to wield it for themselves. When confronted with such a situation, by faces new and familiar, the newfound Church of Rebellion must decide to what extent they will allow themselves to be us...

Bk. 04 Ch. 01 Welcome to Book IV! A dead king. A fallen palace. A new god. With the capital city of Vermillion reeling from recent events, the citizens are in desperate need of stability. Arannis, the newly self-proclaimed God of Rebellion must decide what to do with his new power. Darvin, Veil, and Iolana must find their paths forward. New allies can come from unlikely places, but new enemies cou...

SPOILERS AHEAD   The cast comes to the table to answer some questions directly from YOU, our wonderful Skyfriends! Our second ever Q&A session covers everything from the very beginning up through our third Interlude game. We do our best to stay on topic, but don't be surprised if we get off-topic. It was fantastic to explore so many questions from everyone! Thanks to everyone who made this possibl...

Welcome back to The Glamour!   This interlude takes place between Books III & IV and features our D&D-based minigame called "The Glamour" by our very own Scott Blake.   Join us as we take on the roles of our ambitious and greedy members of The Glamour as they seek personal gain on a global scale. The impact they can have is immeasurable...and not necessarily for the best.   Patreon: patreon.com/sk...

One way or another, the struggle to save those affected by The Withering ends here and now. The threads of so many hang in the balance. No mortal body can hold them for long, but Arannis will push his to the limit to save as many as possible. It's the exciting conclusion of Book III that will leave the world forever changed.   Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discord.gg/yEbuAVU

The Vermillion Bulb represents the last hope for the survival of countless creatures. As the gods and their children struggle against The Withering, the members of The Bard's Rebellion prepare to put everything on the line. Darvin, Iolana, Veil, and Arannis must find a way to save as many souls as possible. The task will demand difficult choices and pain beyond the physical. With so many lives in...

Deep in the heart of the palace, the royal family's private vault is set ablaze. As the flames grow and consume the past, the party seeks out another fire. The massive Bulb they have been told lies beneath the palace is the last hope for putting a stop to The Withering. As powerful as the Bulb may be, it is equally dangerous. Harnessing such power before cost Veil an arm. This time, it could take...

While Veil and King Aldabas fight for dominance within Huracan's body, the rest of the party needs to deal with Lt. General Raz'Ai, a fire giant who will protect the king no matter the cost. The royal family's private vault is littered with mementos, but it is hardly a treasure vault. If the party wants to save Iolana's father, they must win. If they want to save everyone, they must press even fur...

Within the royal family's private vault, King Aldabas and Richard Landan are hastily working to enact the king's plan. Veil, Arannis, Darvin, and Iolana have to act now to prevent them from doing something terrible. With Huracan still yet to be seen, there's no telling what the king has up his sleeve. Whatever it may be, he needs to be stopped.   Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discor...

King Aldabas has been dropped into an escape tunnel by his attendant, Richard Landan, as the battle against the giant El'Brus continues. As he continues to flood the rooms and bring in aquatic dangers, the party needs to decide if they can afford to leave the fight early to pursue the king. Either option is dangerous, and there's no telling what awaits at the bottom of that hole.   Patreon: patreo...

Having snuck into the king's chambers, the time has come to act. The party tries to hide among the Withered statues of elven royalty, hoping to catch King Aldabas and his attendants off guard. Once the action begins, there's no turning back. At a minimum, they are committing treason. The king is well protected, but the element of surprise may be in the party's favor.   Patreon: patreon.com/skyrend...

After setting up a distraction in the underground cells, the Darvin, Veil, Arannis, Iolana and the crew emerge back onto the main floor only to find a surprise guest. They'll need to act quickly so as not to reveal their true intentions in the palace. It is vital they make it to the king without raising any sort of alarm, but the path isn't always clear.   Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Disco...

Within the cells beneath the capital's palace, the party tries their hands at improvised surgery. Unsurprisingly, it is no easy task. When their elemental patients cry out, the guards get suspicious. Luvah, the lizardfolk guard the party bribed to get into the cell, has to balance the value of that bribe against his duties. When the time comes, the party will need to think quickly.   Patreon: patr...

King Aldabas has delivered his speech, announcing a new era on the horizon for the citizens of Carricar. What role Iolana's father is meant to play in all this is unknown, though it surely can't be for his own benefit. But first, the party wants to set up a distraction to make their attack on the king a little easier. The palace's dungeon is holding some special guests, and they could be quite hel...

Kenny the Mace and his entourage are looking to get into the palace. Surely the wealth and influence he has built up in Caravel have earned them entry. But this isn't the real Kenneth Mason. Arannis, Darvin, Veil, and Iolana are doing their best to play their parts, but they'll need more than a bit of luck to get in. With the king's announcement drawing nearer, they don't have time for failure.  ...

In The Denouement guild house, bumps in the night are not uncommon, but some late-night visitors have more surprises than anyone can imagine. When morning comes, it will be time to head to the palace. The question of method of infiltration still hangs in the air and, given the heightened security for the king's announcement, force seems like an unwise decision.   Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcas...

On the eve of their most brazen assault, The Bard's Rebellion draws ever closer to their goals in the capital. While the freedom of Iolana's father, Huracan, is forefront in everyone's mind, it is not the only concern. Trying to find a restful night shouldn't be too difficult, but they will need to stay focused on their goals.   Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discord.gg/yEbuAVU

Maintaining secrecy while passing through the orc borough of Vermillion turns out to be more of a challenge than expected. The closer the party gets to the center of the city, the more suspicious and reactionary the guards become. No matter what happens, they can't afford to give the king any reason to be aware of their presence.   Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discord.gg/yEbuAVU

When the party arrives at the capital, they decide that they need to keep a low profile until it is time to make their move. A Denouement passage makes for the easiest way to enter undetected, but that is only the start of it. In a city as vast as Vermillion, the odds of moving unseen are terribly low, and making plans on the fly carries dangers all their own.   Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast...

Tonight, The Denouement guildhouse in Caravel hosts a pair of tamani along with our heroes. As Arannis, Darvin, Veil, and Iolana get the opportunity to learn more about Samudio's past, they must also deal with the fallout of the assassination and the city-wide search for Sam. Knowing that they are pressed for time to get to the capital, they will need to plan, and act, swiftly.   Patreon: patreon....

The Chapel of Alithea honors Typh, the shapechanger god. With some time to kill, Veil pays the chapel a visit. Whether they are looking for answers or assistance, the chapel seems a more viable option than anything previously available. While they have some time to reflect on who they are and what they want, the Denouement assassins seek to carry out the contract on Iona and free Samudio.   Patreo...
