Through the Balcony

Having stuck up an unlikely alliance thanks to the efforts of their resident cleric, the adventurers from N'drin find themselves heading deeper into the Eastwatch mines.  As the Solstice strikes, the moonstone door at the heart of the mines swings open, allowing the group to enter; the first group in fifteen hundred years to be able to do so.  The answers to what Sutven wants here, and what happen...

Now that the Ebonfort has been retaken, there is no time to waste for 2.4.1. Drinks.  The solstice is rapidly approaching, but their clever use of magic, and pushing themselves to their limit, is the only hope they have for arriving in time to thwart whatever plans the necromancer has.  The Eastwatch mines loom before them, and it is time to make a plan to move forward until one of the group takes...

Having followed the Champion of Selanna across nearly half of the continent of Cairith, the Adventurers from N'drin have finally arrived at the city of Farglenn just in time to get mixed up in the threat posed by a Necromancer that had managed to cripple the defenses of the city.  Teaming up with a local captain and her twin brother, the only path froward seems to be to attempt to retake the fortr...

If Cairith has anything going for it, it's truth in advertising: the adventurers from N'drin have found nothing but cold and ghosts since arriving.  As they made their way across the Straits of Khada on their way to Farglenn the group had to deal with a ghost that had possess both Thyme and Kizzy in an attempt to seek revenge.  In the aftermath of that, the party must regather themselves and prepa...

After returning to Khadena, the task assigned to them by the High Priestess now completed, 2.4.1. Drinks (And Bitsy(And Xani)) now turn their attention to following the Champion of Selanna as she makes her way to Farglenn in response to a summons from the Captain of the guard there indicating troubles in the nearby mines.  Trouble enough to require a Champion's aid. Music in this episode is: "Tell...

The work of the past months have come to fruition: The tombs, the amulets, and the symbols.  All of them are about to come together as 2.4.1. Drinks (and Bitsy) prepare to accompany Rastin deep into the ruins and beyond the door he has never been able to open.  All in the hopes that he can make right the wrong that happened on his watch fourteen years before and restore Princess Amaya from her cur...

After a battle against the demons that lurked hungrily in the abandoned goblin city beneath the Teeth of Akkenia, the party decided to take a quick rest before continuing on their way deeper into the mountain towards Bereteth's Tomb, and hopefully the clue that Rastin sent them here to find.

In this week's throwback episode we see 2.4.1. Drinks continue on their mission to gain access to the tomb of the third, and final, eternal King Bereteth.  According to Rastin the tomb lies somewhere beneath the Aarakocran city of Broken Aerie.  Hoping that by speaking with the leader of an incoming trade caravan from the mountain-bound city they can gain passage there, the group readies themselve...

Welcometo the throwback episodes (finally)!  In the first ever recorded episode of Through the Balcony, our still fairly new party of adventurers prepare to go to Cajas in search of a way to find the tomb of the third, and final, Eternal King of Akkenia.  First there is a little bit of business to take care of in Jarmaulk before they get underway. Music in this episode is: "Teller of Tales" by Kev...

Having now completed their task of delivering the letter to Selanna's Champion Pelannia, they learned that there was trouble stirring in another part of Cairith.  After a late night meeting the Selanna herself, Kizzy had been charged to prove herself to the solemn goddess and agreed to aid her Champion as best she could.  As the morning dawns she asks the rest of 2.4.1 Drinks (And Bitsy and Xanith...

The Bastion of Souls was a place that few dared to venture near, let alone into.  Only the followers of Selanna seemed willing to do so.  However, it seemed that 2.4.1. Drinks would have to do the same if they were to make good on their deal with High Priestess Adonna.  The city was a ghost along the coastline, hollow and empty and cloaked in a cold glow from the mist that eternally shrouded them....

After the excitement in the woods outside of Port Erris, the party finds rest for the night now joined by the lone survivor of the attempted ambush.  In Port Erris there were answers waiting for Thyme and the others in the halls of the God Doyma, and farther down the road was the Bastion of Souls...

Hello, I have some announcements for you to cover the last month and more and talk about what's coming down the road.  For those of you who are listening it should be quick, for those that would prefer to read I have that for you too! "First and foremost thank you all for tuning in to this little announcement.  I just wanted to take a quick chance to explain what all has been going on behind the s...

The adventurers from now distant Kell spend some time getting better acquainted with a few members of the Pack before their meeting with High Priestess Adonna.  After accepting a simple task from her, the party heads south deeper into Cairith and directly into an oncoming storm as they pressed on towards their goal. Music in this episode is: "Teller of Tales" by Kevin MacLeod, Licensed under Creat...

The divided party makes their way towards Cairith: Kizzy meeting with the man that raised her, Grenden Beardripper and setting them up travel with a member of one of the Packs of Kentha; Thyme visiting his parent's grave with his old guardian Orlessa Ardenveil, Champion of Selanna.  Seeking guidance and answers as they head that way, the goal of Cairith is soon in sight. Music in this episode is:...

So, once again we come to an episode where something went horribly, terribly wrong.  This time we succeeded in pushing the record button, at least, but we had a faulty cable in the setup that made the audio... rough, to say the least.  So we got together and did another recap similar to the one we did at the end of the last arc so that you can at least get the gist of what happened.  However, if a...

Making good on their efforts to help Abal had earned 2.4.1. Drinks and their new companion Xanithia the chance to revisit the ruins beneath Jarmaulk.  First in hopes of giving Xani a chance to see some of the kinds of magic they had been dealing with, since she appeared to be studying it as well, and to see if they could uncover anything more.   Music in this episode is: "Teller of Tales" by Kevin...

Knowing that the time to meet with Olek's old childhood friend Shivan is drawing nearer, 2.4.1 Drinks, Bitsy, and Xanithia, make a plan to cover Olek while that meeting takes place, just in case she decides to put him in danger.  Even prepared as they were, it turns out that she still had some tricks up her sleeves that can catch them off guard, including a familiar set of claws.   Music in this e...

After arriving in their second home in Jarmaulk, the members of 2.4.1. Drinks (And Bitsy), now joined by the blue-haired, elven sorceress, Xanithia Moonsnow, look into a very nearly deadly incident that took place while they were away.  They called on all of their resources, new and old, to solve the problem.  First, however, Olek had to answer a challenge to prove himself and hopefully not die tr...

After the incredible events that took place in the Radiant Shrine the adventurers from 2.4.1 Drinks are ready to take the next step in their journey and, once again, return to Jarmaulk.  Becoming something of a second home for many of them they plan to recuperate and plan their path towards the distant northern continent of Cairith.  To get there they have agreed to take up aboard the airship stol...

Once again we find ourselves at a break between chapters.  As we wind down and the echoes of the past die off, there is one more voice that speaks out with knowledge of countless ages past. This episode summarizes the events of the Echoes of the Past arc from the perspective of the dragonborn warlock Toraia's patron, Shiadorin.  For new listeners this might be a good point to hop in before we laun...

After the dramatic and powerful events in the Radiant Shrine below Halder it is time to take part in an event even more important: Olek's Birthday.  With all immediate peril behind, it is time to start looking forward towards the future and where 2.4.1 Drinks wants to go.  Unfortunately the man in charge or our audio never clicked record so in lieu of the full episode please join us as we sit arou...

The battle with the pirate scourge is over at last, at least here on the Isle of Halder. The adventurers having returned now present themselves victorious before the crown of the kingdom to claim their rewards.  As has been the theme of this particular voyage not all is as it seems and soon the truth of the situations rears its five ugly heads.   Music in this episode is: "Teller of Tales" by Kevi...

The journey to Halder and the encounters with pirates have certainly been an adventure, worthy of being told by the great bard Abstinthe Artemesia.  That story can only be told, however, if they, and the rest of you, can survive the inevitable battle with Warrick Bramble and the hooded figures that seem to take his commands.  The battle is upon you and it will either be the end of a chapter, or th...

The situation in the Amastacian Isles is not great for the adventurers from Kell.  Absinthe Artemesia, the Hero of Breezebay, is a captive of Warrick Bramble and on their way to hidden lair, where Bitsy lays hidden after stowing away on the outside of his ship.  The rest of 2.4.1 Drinks trail behind in a ship of the Halderian fleet, far enough to stay out of sight, but hoping that they are close e...
