Whiskey in the Stream

Fire Genasi, Sorceror/Bard, widow, Doomslayer. Aurora Swol-laws - This episode is for you.

A divided party cannot stand. They can however run all over the place and make the DM work out their individual goals and how to bring them back together. Tango, and how to herd cats

So it's not the worst thing that's happened in a game, but it's pretty bad. Good thing Geneva doesn't exist here or some other convention that might have disuaded the choices made. Yarp, good thing that...well this got as dark as the inside of a bag of holding. It's fine. Divided party, terrible choices, peak DnD

Half the Doomslayers are out, and the other half tries a rescue. I'm sure it will all be fine and no one will have any existential crises...maybe.

The problem with giving your players things to use, is that they typically don't. Watch the revelation and frustration in real time as we all relearn something important about our favorite apocalyptic cutie. And now an endorsement from one of the players! "This is the worst one yet!" -Grrrdon

We speak to the unfucked, the disenfucked, and the refucktalized! The Doomslayers meet the Seillottians and discuss how to go about dealing with the Fire Newt. I'm sure it's fine. Let's break into the building we are welcome in, because reasons, but I'm sure it's fine. It's not.

The Doomslayers love the town so much they just have to go back. After having just left. After having returned, after having initially left.  Asti learns a new phrase and puts it to the test. Amongst the shenanigans, progress is made in the story! But why is Seillotte here?

Norm decides to try his best to help the group as the world's okayest armchair therapist. He is sorely unqualified but Grrrdon gets into the spirit of it. Come experience your first hobopopo with the Doomslayers

Credit to Kaylan for this episode's title. The Doomslayers live up to part of their name in dealing with a group of wizards and another misunderstanding that got out of hand.  Tends to happen a lot actually, but this traumatic attack on a beloved party member really brings them together. In a Cosmic horror meets 90s sitcom sort of way. 

The Doomslayers make their way down to Doomsayer's lane and have a chat with Percival. Definitely not important and super innocent the whole way around. Definitely fine. The party dynamic seems really sketchy when Aurora misunderstands Kaylan's anatomy, and what may have been intended as a kindness does not come off that way. By the way, who's keeping track of the Armageddon cutie?

Night Night! Sleepover at Eimar's! You may have noticed that there is not a recap at the start of this episode. That would be because this session ran a bit long so it's been cut into 3. Next session will have the recap and the setup for the continued decline of the DM's mental wellbeing. We laugh, we cry, we nearly kill Ken. 

Aurora reaches her true form as a leader of the Ka-Ren coven. The Doomslayers attempt to relay what's going on to Eimar and decide drunk is the better option. I don't think I blame them.

Season 2!! New Element Arc, who dis?  After a horrible ordeal in the fire sewers, the Doomslayers take a bath! we get some nice RP before things begin to....Doomslayer it up. Welcome to season 2!

The Doomslayers try to resolve the matter peacefully, but Asti has other plans. Our cute babygurl was hunggy, so apocalypse now. Are they going to make it in one piece? Will everyone make it out? Season 1, the Fire Arc is officially done, and now we move on to Season 2. We hope to see you there!

The Doomslayers meet with their first leader!...annnnd it goes as you might expect. Really well until it isn't. There's a puppet show, some mind control, and the group dynamic sours even more.

The Doomslayers continue through the fire sewers. Combat, diplomacy, buttholes, this episode has it all! Sorta. Anyway, the power of the butthole is on display here and really saves the day. Kaylan and Aurora have some words and what is up with Asti?

Are you a good bone, or an angry bone? The Doomslayers march on through the fire sewers. Diplomacy is in the air along with smoke and ash, so clearly diplomacy won't last long. "You do fuck things up. Like plans."

Whelp....The DM breaks by the end and the Doomslayers become Doom Layers as they lay forth their own impending doom. Sky Rocks. Rocks fall, everybody dies, roll new characters. Except we all know Ken won't take that route so he must deal with the consequences - being this episode and the negotiations within.

Aurora are you ok? Are you ok, Aurora? Surely actions don't have consequences and taking a demon lord's name as your own can't ever end poorly. Actions have consequences. And don't call me Shirley. How will the Doomslayers handle a communication breakdown, and who will think of the Pseudodragon?!

The Doomslayers really know how to make friends. Threaten to beat or kill them. Definitely works out fine. F in chat for poor Norm and the beargrubs.

Searching for an answer, or poor Norm's home. After breaking a normal human repair person's back, what else will the heroes known as the Doomslayers do? Grrrdon will probably never want to go underground ever again.

What's the first thing that comes to mind when someone offers to help and also ask for help in a sketchy place? Definitely sweep the leg. Definitely won't ever backfire or become terrible. Nope. 

The Doomslayers' trouble continues with the increasingly hungry bag. Some encounters are planned as mildly threatening only to take a turn, this one just shit the bed and will Aurora stop yelling? Not today my friends. Not. Today.

Sorry this is so late! The DM/Editor decided to take a vacation. The alternate title was Methane not Meth, as our Doomslayers advance through the sewer. Beware the poo puns for they are many

The Doomslayers had a one evening break before they are back at work. Off to pick up gear and investigating the trail of fire bugs down into the sewers. It's Christmas time in the real world so the DM gave a shitty gift. The whole plan reeks and ought to be flushed. Poop. Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season, stay safe, and Happy New Year!
