The party has an audience with Viere Cantelli... for now. They need his approval to use Tether's portal system, but first, a little quid pro quo and some new info about a long lost bro.

The truth seems to be within reach. The party has entered the location where they believe Cantelli resides. Will they find an ally waiting for them, or will cursed Perotia only give them more lies? Archie finds a moment of self-care. Osiris makes a connection. Six gets denied. Margbark’s in this one too.

The party visits the most action-heavy courtyard in the city of Perotia. It's got combat with the undead, ancient elven puzzles, and new friends. Come for the history, stay for the poetry.

Having secured expedited logistics and premium trade goods, our Intrepid interns return to Bumbleberry’s for some well deserved R&R.  Trisk attempts to make amendments to the contract.  Sage samples a bevvy of bachelors, and Isborn goes on a date with Imperial Councillor Halona Autumnscar.  And then…things get weird.  Onwards!  To Gold and Glory!

The party comes to terms with the condition of Perotia. Undeath permeates the walls, the walkways, and the waters. While trying to overcome the challenges of the city, Six and Margbark make some new agreements. They’ll only learn if history repeats itself once they find the historian.

Having bested gladiator mercenaries at the temple of Vedric, our intrepid interns prepare for their trade mission south of the empire, and attempt to secure provisions and transport for their overmountain trek.  Sage signs a contract.  Isborn tests his animal friendship abilities, and…the party is split!  Onwards!  To Gold and Glory!

Archie, Six, Margbark, and Osiris are faced with an entire town that's been zombified.  Looks like they are going to have to clear a path for Chaundry, but first, it's time for some retail therapy!

Having commissioned a trade prototype pipe for smoking halfling weed, our fearless franchisees continue preparing for their trade mission, and set about securing additional funding for their upcoming journey.  The team visits the temple of Holy Vedric, god of profit, risk, and…gambling?  Onwards!  To Gold and Glory!

Fresh off their first successful heist for corporate adventuring firm Gold and Glory, Inc, our heroes land what promises to be a lucrative new contract for market research and franchise expansion to the Grey Marches, in lands south of the Empire.  The team samples some butter pastries, and commission some new merchandise…the first episode of Campaign 2 - Gold and Glory...Beyond the Pale!

Join us for part two of this festive two-part adventure as our party dives into the heartwarming  and magical winter festival of Shiverfest! Tasked with uncovering goblin infiltrators, our party quickly finds themselves entangled in a web of illusion and camaraderie. Amidst snow-kissed landscapes and shimmering lanterns, secrets unfold, and unlikely friendships are forged. Will the adventurers overcome the holiday challenges, mend the distrust between gnomes and goblins, and reveal the goblins' true intentions? Or will this year’s Shiverfest be ruined?

It’s time for hand to feather combat. The whole party gives this battle all they’ve got. If they don’t emerge victorious, they’ll get up close and personal with this roc’s digestive tract.

After hearing a thunderous screech, Archie, Six, Margbark, and Osiris meet up with one of their toughest foes yet while trying to protect the boat and its precious cargo.  Also, there are cats.

Now that the gang has a plan, it's time to move. Archie leads the way through the streets of Port Wayworth as the group makes their first steps towards Perotia. Bye bye spooky corner, hello pirates.

Archie, Six, Margbark, and Osiris try to escape Port Wayworth without being captured and taken back to jail.  Six plays chess, Margbark wrestles arms, Archie connects with his past, and Osiris worries about multiple ships.  Stay out of the corners!
