Low Armor Cast: A Cadre of Conversations (Episode 14)

Tama has a song to sing. Merit has to manage a meetup with his father. Scratch has to figure out how to defy gravity. All of them have final decisions to make as they head toward their opening ceremony for the Champion Armor Season Opener. Will they pull off a performance of a lifetime or embarrass themselves in front of the largest audience Tama's ever been in front of? Surely nothing could go wrong in the Sky Arena.

The Pit Crew has learned the true nature of leadership under a feudal society; even when it's dressed up in convenience and comfort. Now, with the real danger looming and an opening Champion Armor Battle about to kick off a new season, can our crew figure out a way through this problem? What about the lives of the people in the Spyre? Have they helped this situation or made it worse? Also, SLUMBER PARTTTTTTY!!!!!!

It seems the scheme the Pit Crew enacted has worked like a charm! With Scratch polymorphed to Maja and narrowly dodging a bit in the neck, not that the option is totally off the table, our Pit Crew find themselves in an evening scrape. But will their foe find purchase, punishment, or supper in this scuffle in the Sky Spyre. And to think, all they wanted to do was fight in Champion Armor and maybe make a little extra coin. Nat 1s and Nat 20s incoming in the newest episode of Through the Mill!

It seems the performance would turn from prancing to pugilism in this ambush. A little blood spilt, a few lies told, and some truths after that, and we find our Pit Crew once again sticking their necks out in the Sky Spyre. Not a great move the last time but I'm sure it won't come back to bite them this time. Exactly how good can Tama disguise a person? And why is Maja so damned decent at murder? Welp, time to get into a lot of trouble!

Can they just have one easy interview? Apparently not. Looks like Jambly wants to jam, and the Pit Crew work on damage control. We also find out what Scratch is up to while she sleeps? It's... less concerning than one might think. Now time to check in with the boss, the tall Asimar one, not the  money man of Regel Sol. Our Crew is neck deep and soon to be soft shoe and shining soprano in this newest series of complications, combat, and confusion.

Another update with old Rupert has the Pit Crew struggling with all these secrets. After realizing that life would not only continue to change for them but also for their new friend Wilton, they head back to work with a quick pit stop in the Adventurer's Guild Offices. With a few extra mimosas and a few parting gifts they head in to do something simple, right? Just a bit of press for the opening ceremony and match? Nothing could go wrong right? The likelihood of Merit jumping out of a window grows ever closer, even with the hundreds of feet of distance to fall in this episode of Low Armor Cast.

Things are looking up? No? Oh! The elevator is headed up beyond the 199 to meet the Governess of the Sky Spyre and boy are the Pit Crew... not looking forward to this. Things get a little tense for our heroes but they manage to word their way out the door without too much conflict. Yet. But what are they to do with zombies, vampires, politicians, press, and all manner of intrigue? Well, hopefully win their Champion Armor bout in a couple days. For now though, maybe it is a good idea to check in with the boss?

Betrayed, our Pit Crew find themselves in a bit of a pickle. Well, a warehouse of pickled people. Seems our Sky Spyre has a bit of an undead infestation. But hopefully stealth, and a lot of fleeing, will find our protagonists safely back to the more civilized side of the grand tower of Midland. Really, though, if you think about it, why are there so many dead people? This can't be just an accident. Wait is this a code yellow?

OH! And this episode features a song from Noel Shiri from Dames and Dragons (another great tabletop actual play podcast that you all should totally listen to). It's at the end in the background, and then replaces our end theme and stinger so you can hear the whole thing without me stepping all over it. Great work Noel!  Find everything you need to know about the talented musician and podcast editor and table top roleplayer at noelshiri.com!

Morality is a pretty gray thing. Hard to swallow but true none the less. As the Pit Crew discuss their next steps with Wilton they come to the conclusion that minimizing the potential cost of life is the best and they head on down to find J.J. on Floor 36. What will the sub-40 floors be like? Who is J.J. working with? Is that cigar smoke they smell? What happened to the overhead music? Well, we're going to find out in Episode 18 of the Low Armor Cast: A Few Floors Down.

Well, that was certainly a lot of death that just didn't seem necessary. Oh, and look, a wealthy businessman? With a meeting on the horizon and a lot of new trauma, maybe some booze will help steady the mind as our Pit Crew discusses who they can trust and who they can't. We do a mental health check-in and start to plan for the next evening, as well as a midday long nap on this episode of Low Armor Cast!
