What could bring together two burly half-orcs, one sly halfling, and a dragonborn sorcerer? How about a Dungeons & Dragons Campaign? Introducing "Disaster In Dawnbreak", a special episode of the Bridge of Two podcast. We bring Caleb and Stephanie on to recap our DND Campaign so far and shenanigans ensue. 

Reaching the elven town of Eldritch, it soon became clear to Lucky the troll that their kind was unwanted. Now, Lucky is set to face an even greater threat: a sect of zealous mages whose singular purpose is to bring about the extinction of the trollish race. Where has Lucky's sister-in-law Diaphony Le Viol disappeared to? How will trollish pacifism stand up to elven aggression? Find out how this family-friendly, queer fantasy epic concludes in Caveworm: Part Two. (This episode is part 2 of 2)

Spaghettos Abenteuer kommt endlich an sein Ende. Na ja, nicht endlich, sondern leider. Leider ist es vorbei, aber glücklicherweise haben wir ein episches Finale für euch! Matilde und Georg, also eher nur Georg, führen uns zu Spaghettos letzten Kampf und es ist ein guter. Spaghetto hat sich Hilfe geholt in Form des Goliaths Ulkan Bockbatscher Patapata, und diese wird sie brauchen um ihren letzten Kampf gegen die Waldelfen zu gewinnen, oder verlieren? Wir wollen ja nichts spoilern, ohne dass ihr die Folge hören könnt. Matilde ist immer noch in Schwierigkeiten mit den D&D Regeln, und Georg ist in seiner Dungeon Master Rolle auch ein bisschen allein gelassen. Aber nicht desto trotz schaffen sie es dieses wunderbare Abenteuer zu beenden, ohne euch hängen zu lassen, denn guter Content ist bei MUGPU immer auf der Tagesordnung. Wird Spaghetto innere Ruhe finden? Oder wird sie für immer den Tod ihres geliebten Moussakis rechen wollen?

Dieser Podcast wird nur von der Nervosität von Georg und Matilde präsentiert.

Spaghetto Lassos aufregendes Abenteuer geht weiter und erreicht einen ersten Höhepunkt - ja richtig: ersten, denn wir haben gelogen, und es gibt insgesamt drei, nicht zwei D&D-Spezial-Folgen. Matilde fühlt sich besser in der Rolle als RPG-Spielerin, Georg ist immer noch ein bisschen überfordert, aber beide meistern ihre Herausforderungen und produzieren GUTEN D&D CONTENT - In dieser Episode begibt Spaghetto sich in den verwunschenen Kobaltforst auf der Suche nach den fiesen Wald-Elfen, die ihren geliebten Moussaki auf dem Gewissen haben und begnegnet mehr und weniger gefährlichen Waldbewohner*innen auf ihrer Reise.

Dieser Podcast ist GUTER CONTENT und wird von sich selbst präsentiert.

Willkommen zu der langersehnten, ersten MUGPU D&D Spezial Folge. Die nächsten drei Wochen werdet ihr mit Spaghetto verbringen. Spaghetto geht auf eine Reise, für Rache. Rache für ihren geliebten Moussaki, der von einer Gruppe Waldelfen ermordet wurde. Spaghetto ist eine Barbarin Bardin Halbling, eigentlich nicht bereit für den Kampf. Aber weil sie den Tod ihres Verlobten rächen wollte hat sie Ulkan Bockbatscher Patapata – einen alten Goliath, gebeten sie auf den Kampf vorzubereiten. Im ersten Teil dieses Abenteuers, reist Spaghetto nach Backenstett, um herauszufinden wo die Waldelfen überhaupt wohnen. Da Spaghetto die Tavernen Inhaber*innen in Backenstett kennt, durch ihre Arbeit als Bardin, hat sie vielleicht einen Fuß nach vorne, aber wird das reichen?

After our heroes successfully recovered Rizbul from his prison and returned to the raft nest to discuss their next steps with the Sanction, they have begun making their way east to the Cave of Lightning. It is here that the party finds hope in discovering the mysterious "Sovereign Glue" that can aid in fixing Dipple's legs. On the way, they also hope to discover crossing into a realm known as the Feywild, a mirror dimension to their own where time works weirdly, and everything is lush and green. It is in this odd place that they believe their ticket back to Drailea and finally stopping Theodosin once and for all exists, but first, they must deal with the dangers along their path, and Thoradin must pull himself together and kill a few Wyverns!

Lucky is the unluckiest troll in the Hole: a massive cave system which has provided sanctuary for trolls like Lucky since his great-great-great-grandpappy Grimblade's time. But now there's a newcomer - Lucky's sister has married an elven woman - and with the elf's arrival, the peace between trolls and the outside world threatens to come crashing down.

An old "friend" has joined the party! Saved by his brother's student, Nimdioc, Rizbul has come with more dire warnings about the power and danger of Theodosin, a.k.a "The Great One".In response to his information, the party has decided the best course of action is to return to the raft nest outside of Blackwolf Citadel and join the Sanction of the Duck in their search for unicorns, to hopefully find a way into the mirror dimension of the Feywild. This, according to Rizbul, is the only way back into Drailea, and our hero's only path to saving their friends, family, and people.

After multiple days spent in and out of Blackwolf Citadel, our party has learned much of the situation they find themselves in, yet are missing so many pieces of the puzzle. The party has decided to spend a few last days in town to relax and prepare themselves for the rough journey ahead of them, Thoradin fighting, Angus drinking, Dipple tinkering, Sheik reading, and Nimdioc, now left adrift from his master The Mysterious, having seen a vision of what appeared to be his demise, searches the Shadowfell for answers, and deep in that dark dark place, a voice calls back to him... but who could it be?

Our heroes have been on a non-stop, action-packed series of events over the past few episodes, and in doing so have left their crew on the Boar's End ship alone for a while now. One begins to wonder what must go down on a pirate ship filled with goblins, kittens, and rowdy pirates when they begin to get bored. Well, this episode, follow along as Red Cheek (Thomas), Driden Hemsworth (Andrew), Gary (Serenity), Tiki'Taki (Dominic), and Gerblow (Bri) join our special guest star Ben Stacey, playing as Browntooth, on the misadventures of the Boar's End crew!

BattleBard Survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BBPod1 

Our heroes successfully saved the forest surrounding the Raft Nest of the local Sanction of the Duck from a horrible wildfire. With the powerful aid of Shiek's Tidal Wave spells, the fires were made short work of, and the cultists were discharged with little remorse, save for their leader. The mother owlbear, who was caught hibernating when the fires erupted, was saved by the two Sanction members who came to assist, and the leader of the cult was put in chains. But, now what will the party do? They know Theodossin is headed to the Elemental Kingdom to find the final book he has been searching for, but there is a nearly impenetrable storm between the party and stopping him. So for now, some learning needs to be done, and some money needs to be earned for the long road ahead...

After a long and tough battle deep in the heart of the Blackwolf Citadel, our party has 24 hours to solve the problem of Dipple and Angus' rotting condition. Angus and Thoradin both found leads to an odd colony of healers just a few miles down the mountain, and without much of a moment's hesitation, the party decided to follow the trail, desperate for aid from any lead. This led our heroes to a small cave, wherein they found an odd frog fellow who spoke surprisingly good Duckese. So good in fact that Shiek realized where she was, she had finally met a member of the secret organization she has been unwittingly chasing since those many months ago back in Drailea. Now it is just these people that will be her and her friend's saviors, but perhaps the party will need to be their's as well...

Mummys, Red Guard, and Spiders oh my! The party has narrowly escaped with their lives for a deadly fight between two powerful enemies all for... a rusty iron helmet? Is it all worth it as the party now suddenly realizes just how deadly the disease of Mummy Rot truly is, as they watch Dipple, Convel, and Angus deteriorate before their very eyes. The party must rush their decaying friends back up to the city above in hopes of finding someone, anyone who can help them before they turn to dust. But, perhaps help does not lie within the city of forge and steel, but outside in the nature around it where an unlikely ally may be found...

Our heroes find themselves in the, recently apparent, ancient city of Blackwolf Citadel, which is home to, unusually, both Giants and Dwarves living in peace and harmony. This is all thanks, in part, to the founders of this great city who found the deep veins of gold believed to be non-existent beneath large chunks of fools gold. Our party has followed on the tail of a mysterious group of red armored soldiers bearing a red gemstone eye, similar to an "old friend" from back home... After navigating the dangerous dungeon made to honor and protect the tomb of the founders, the party has found the tomb itself ransacked and broken by these soldiers. In an effort to surprise their enemy before they have a chance to react, and after Angus seemingly failed to instill fear within their leader, Nimdioc chucked a fireball pearl from his necklace setting off an explosive chain of events they did not see coming!

Hot off the escape from the Iron empire our heroes find themselves in a new land altogether. After entering the city of the Blackwolf Citadel some of our party entered themselves into a light-hearted drinking contest, while the others sat by and laughed as they failed. To make up for his failure Angus started playing dice games which was Nimdioc's idea, Dipple... went to sleep which was Sheik's idea, and Thoradin got in a fight. After a few rounds of bets Nimdioc, Angus, and Convel followed Thoradin to the Fists Gold where he single-handedly beat a stone giant while remaining completely unscathed. The arena paid out big for himself and his party, but as they made their way back to the inn where their friends lay waiting for them, they noticed some odd soldiers in red armor. Each adorned with a red gemstone over their left eye, a reminder of an old "friend" of theirs, one whom they are finding themselves increasingly at odds against.

The party has escaped the Iron Empire and made their way across the ocean along a long and arduous journey to the Sunless Dominion. Along their journey they discovered they were being watched, which was quickly dealt with by Shiek's masterful understanding of the arcane, Nimdioc gained a better understanding of his connection to the Shadowfell, Thoradin meditated on himself and his past, Angus worked on creating his first-ever stick of Dwarvenite, and Dipple took her first picture! Much has occurred, but much more is to come now that they are tailing the last known lead of the book of power called the Weapons Securitas in the mountain city of Blackwolf Citadel.

Our party has miraculously secured the "favor" of the Emperor in that he has decided not to instantly kill them, only to force them into exile of his kingdom and tell every guard in every town what they look like and to kill them on sight. So the party made their way out of Draconhollow northward to meet with the Boar's End ship at the nearest port town. During this trek, they encountered a heavy blizzard, and an old friend... of sorts. After settling an old feud, the party arrived at Arborend where their ship lay just on the opposite side, waiting peacefully in its port, with a city full of guards between them and freedom. And they still have the long journey ahead of them once they reach the ship to make their way to the Sunless Dominion and the rumored last sighting of the Weapons Securitas, one of the three ancient relic-tomes of power.

It has been a long and hard few days. From fighting one dragon to nearly dying to another, it was only thanks to the silver tongue of Angus Dusklin that the party still stands. However, they shall not continue standing in the Iron Empire. The party must now make their way out of the empire and towards their next lead to stopping Theodosin and The Incomparable Witness. They now head to a small port town to meet back up with The Boar's End and make their way to the kingdom of the Sunless Dominion to hopefully find the next piece of this enormous puzzle.

After a long journey north, the party has made their way into Draconhollow, the Dragon-proof city. An investigation ensued, Thoradin being distracted by a lovely blacksmith lady, let his guard down. And she guided the party deep into the city, into the mines, pointing out all of the damage the "dragon" had caused. It was there that she revealed her true intentions, though the party knew not who she was. She revealed that she had faked all of the damage and now has seen their usefulness come to an end. She then summoned an ACTUAL, adult, blue dragon into the mines where the party had to guide it, as safely as possible, out of the city and into a location where The Emporer was summoned. He then slew the dragon, and the party was left broken and battered, with one member fallen to the earth by a blast of lightning...
