The Dice Girls

Our adventurers cross into the Hollow Hills. Elana does a bit of backtracking. Kaida feels unprepared. Marv...wait, who's Marv?

Our adventurers have to do a bit of thinking on their feet with a few injured party members!

Our adventurers continue their treacherous battle with the storm cloud!

Our adventurers face off against an angry cloud. Kaida rolls a 1. Elana rolls a 20. Schnicktick has some choice words.

Our adventurers set off down a new path, with an old friend!

Kaida and Elana finally get to talk to Raz and prepare to embark on a grand quest!

Kaida and Elana spend the rest of their day doing productive activities (and stewing a little about the quiche-off) before finally headed to see Raz! (This wound up being a bit of a short episode, dearest Dicelings, apologies! Sometimes timing sessions to be multi-episode length is hard. But, we had some fun chatting for a few minutes after our session, and I've left that part in!)

Kaida and Elana still have some of their day to kill before they meet back up with Raz, so they decide to greet their new neighbor, and let's just say things get a little tense. Elana invents scrambled egg pie. Kaida blacks out for a moment. Grom no like dry quiche. 

Kaida and Elana have 24 hours to kill while Raz thinks up his favor. Elana takes some notes. Kaida frets just a little bit. Zillow comes by with news about the neighbors.

Kaida and Elana debrief after trying to scrute Lunhra (say that 5 times fast), and decide to fill Raz in on what they've learned. Then, they learn a bit more.  Kaida's next family reunion may not be a happy one. Elana's brain gets a little bit broken. And Raz...doesn't finish the food he's eating.

Our adventurers squeeze Lunhra for more information. Elana is quite curious about everyone's age. Kaida has a few more cookies (and Alexa does foley work!). Lunhra remains mostly inscrutable (but don't forget to ask her at some point about her run-in with the Fae!).

Kaida and Elana finally get some answers, though they might not be the answers they were hoping for. Kaida eats some cookies. Elana tries to...scrute? Lunhra is matter-of-fact. 

Kaida and Elana speak with Raz to find out what he knows about the curse. Elana is excited and worried. Kai tries not to spiral. Raz eats some peanuts. 

Kaida and Elana's sub-basement adventure continues. Kaida shares some important family background. Elana experiments. They both have so, so many questions. 

Our adventurers ask Raz about their discovery in the basement, and learn a few new interesting things about their boss. They return to investigate the source of the giant rats, but wind up finding something much more interesting instead... (Note: This episode is not sponsored by Zillow OR apartments.com, but if either of them -wants- it to be, we're open to negotiations. lol)

Our adventurers face some muggers in The Clunk. Elana uses a hair dryer. Kaida has excellent nails. The mugger leaves with less than he came with.

Kaida and Elana make their way down into The Clunk, where they meet a few new faces and learn a bit more about one of the dragons. Kaida tries some gambling and talks a little about her scales. Elana shows off more of her wares. Schnicktick puts an item on layaway.

Our adventurers make a new friend(?) and seek the entrance to The Clunk! Elana starts a side hustle. Kaida gives some guidance. Orthiax likes lemons.

Our adventurers find out what is hiding in the chambers of the cavern they've entered -- and they learn a few more secrets along the way!

Our adventurers venture into the tunnel they discovered, and leave with more questions than they came in with!

In a familiar scene (only bigger), our adventurers take on some rats in the tavern basement. In an unfamiliar scene, our adventurers make a discovery after the battle!

Our adventurers talk their way out of trouble, then find themselves right back in it again when they travel back to the rat-laden basement of the Cog 'n Grog.

Our adventurers get off of work and then find themselves at the Trading Post, where they...do more work, make a new friend, and encounter a surprise jigsaw puzzle together!

Our adventurers finish up the rats in the basement, have a chit chat with their first Moonspeak local, Glura, and make plans for after work!

Our adventurers face off against that classic D&D foe -- tavern basement rats -- using some not-so-classic tactics!
