Episode 11: A Leap of Faith
In our eleventh episode, the party re-unites and take on the mission of showing Irvik and Nimri a good time in Brastlewark, which leads them to two venerable establishments: the Cockwork Inn and the Temple of Shelyn. Between flirtations and beauty treatments, secrets are spilled and new light is shed on some of Temerity's lingering questions...

Episode 9: Bats and Brandy
In our ninth episode, Professor Z and Ember discover the merits of earning a Golarion Scout Badge early in life when they attempt to set up camp. Several hours, a giant bat, and one fight later, they find themselves guests of a mysterious forest guardian. Meanwhile, Temerity and Oom enjoy King Drum Thornfiddle's finest brandy and his juiciest gossip. King DTF is in way over his head: the question is, are we?

Episode 8: King DTF
In our eighth episode, the party and their pal Miv find themselves up against a rube-goldberg machine, an aging academic, and absolutely terrible Stealth rolls. Disguises are worn, dragons are swaddled, and we technically visit our very first dungeon! Oh, and there’s a king named DTF.

Episode 7: It’s Complicated
In our seventh episode, the party and their pal Miv find themselves encountering the Infernally inclined guardians of King Drum Thornfiddle’s observatory. Things get a little tense, and eventually our heroes flee the scene of their breaking and entering to make room for us to discuss the particularities of Asmodean worship from a multicultural framework. Oh, and it turns out Oom is carrying something secret…

Episode 6: The Observatory
In our sixth episode, the party explores the secret observatory being constructed by King Drum Thornfiddle in collaboration with House Thrune. We accidentally set off an alarm, meet some young folks in plate mail who are passionate about their jobs, Ember plays fetch with a warflail, and Temerity finds a weird mummified hand. Oh, and we learn a little bit about telescopes in the process!

Episode 4: The Percussive Exit
In our fourth episode, the party dines at Chez Z and ponders the wisdom of exploding a construct over dinner. Then, we make an excursion into the foothills to spy on a secret observatory, roll terribly, and discover some mysterious metal figures guarding a moonlit path. Everything is fine and dandy, and we’re sure that when we go back we’ll encounter nothing of note on this road to a forbidden observatory!

Episode 3: Divinations and Dragons
In our third episode, the party seeks information about a passage censored from a book once owned by Orianna Selestine, Ember’s deceased Druid master. We meet a bard named Miv over dinner and are treated to a demonstration of their skill at playing the mountain dulcimer; attempt to connect to our own inner divinitory potential; terrify yet another gnome (this time in a city park); and formulate conspiracy theories about the monarchs of Kyonin and Brastlewark being romantically involved with the same dragon. With minds like ours, who needs tabloids in Golarion?
Content Notices:
Referenced and insinuated offscreen pre-campaign cruelty to an Awakened animal; some swearing and coarse language; light references to romantic and sexual affairs.
Episode 2: The Sandwich In The Library
In our second episode, the party continues to explore the gnomish city of Brastlewark. We invite a young baker to make us lunch in his own home as we discuss the circumstances of his aunt’s mysterious death, get into a fight with a street, ponder why a dragon might want to Awaken a dog, and stumble onto literary censorship during attempted theft. Sounds fun, right?
Content Notices:
Strong language; light combat violence; discussions of offscreen character death; and implied violence to an Awakened animal as part of backstory.
Episode 1: Must Love Dog
In our first episode, the cast of characters come together: a talking dog, a tief-elf, and two gnomes walk into a bakery. There are mysteries afoot well beyond the question of why the dog can talk now, and the fledgeling party is very curious (but very distractible). Will inter-party beef between gnomes derail them entirely before any questions are answered?
(There was a learning curve with our software which resulted in laggy video. Don’t worry, quality significantly improves by Episode 3, and we continue to glow up as we learn more!)
