Having sailed across the high seas, this episode finds our heroes heading to university. Featuring Lachlan as Hendric Stonesword, George as Ambo Phibian, Emma as Iva Chatte, Alex as Leer Flim-Flam. Hosted by Dungeon Master Sam Went. Story What exciting tales of freshers’ fair await our intrepid warriors this episode? Will they hit the books or party down? Will they find the academic answers they’re searching for? Or, along the way, will they find the one thing they’ve truly been searching for all along...love? (and violent revolution?) Quotes Iva: We did not torture that gnome, we mercy killed that gnome! *** Hendric: Given our current moral bearing - engaging in piracy? No. Letting pirates whip other pirates? Kind of fine?

Following on from last week’s adventures featuring our band attempting to get through an ancient dwarven city with life and limbs intact, we rejoin them now in the presence of an imposing (but hopefully not evil) palace. Featuring Lachlan as Hendric Stonesword, George as Ambo Phibian, Emma as Iva Chatte, Alex as Leer Flim-Flam. Hosted by Dungeon Master Sam Went. Story Having risked entering an ancient palace with questionable patio decoration, our plucky adventurers spend way too much time being meta and coining inappropriate phrases. What will they find within the well-drawn doors of the palace? Quotes George: Are there any suits of armour in which I could hide? Emma: Are there any bookcases we could hide in? *** Sam: Roll perception for a pervert painting! Find us on social media!

I hope no one ever compares me to Chuck Lorre for doing this meta/self-referential/whatever joke at the end of our notes. Wait I guess I just compared myself to Chuck Lorre. Crap, did it again.

Featuring Lachlan as Hendric Stonesword, George as Ambo Phibian, Emma as Iva Chatte, Alex as Leer Flim-Flam. Hosted by Dungeon Master Sam Went. Story In continuing their delve through the ancient city of Weitheim, our plucky band has unearthed horrors from the deeps. As we return to their predicament now, we see the immediate results of Leer “purest of intentions” Flim-Flam, who in no way can be blamed for the outcome of his spell backfiring. Quotes Hendrik: I love my stick, but it doesn’t do what I need it to do. Alex: A problem for anyone at your age. *** George: I’m really blessed, that all of the people in the city spend their dying moments writing exposition. Find us on social media!

Story Having found a beleaguered dwarven patrol our adventurers continue their noble pursuit of wealth and power by adventuring into the underwater underground of the dwarven city.
