This week as we take a peek beneath the Trench Coat we hear the guys speak about placing dominoes for once instead of knocking them down. Ken touches on how kind of him it was to give Harcos a nesting opportunity. They then move on to speaking with Trevor and Linara. There is a decent amount of talk about King/Queen stuff which leads into Nick realizing how dumb and confused he was. They then discuss how Trevor and Harcos sort of have some pull with the crowd and then Brad rounds it out...

This episode we release in Ken's memory. It is the penultimate episode of Riven. We love and miss you big guy. The team rests. But the respite is short lived as they rise early to make it to the political gathering on time. There is a bit of small talk before things get completely underway and some slight background knowledge gained on the "candidates". Some of our music used in this episode was taken from Tabletop Audio at tabletopaudio.com. Additional sound effects came from...

Welcome to the pre-session chaos! Sit down and feel free to listen to the guys talk about video games, recent episodes of shows they've been watching, fan-boy out about this, that, and the other, and all other manners of crazy that happens to roll in off their noodles! As this is the pre-session ramblings, it is mostly unedited and untouched. Enjoy! -Nick, the Sound Wizard See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Welcome back to Riven Tales, our background world building series! In this edition of Riven Tales we hear William's final hours after speaking with Harcos on the day of Syraxis' eruption.

Our first look behind the trench coat in season 2 brings a great many things with it.

Over the course of a month....our two favorite guys deal with the heavy toll that comes with having to deal with "losing".

Welcome to the pre-session chaos!

Ken recaps the last 2 years....the last 95 episodes of Riven.

We have some very sad news and you all deserve to know. -Nick

Nick has.....wait....Harcos???? has a Rolling in the Geek update for you???

Welcome to the pre-session chaos!

Our intrepid do-gooders, do all that they can to save a city from a threat it's citizens are ignorant to. They exhaust all possible options and get out who they can in the time they have left.

This week as we solemnly go behind the trench coat, we hear our trio speak about percentages.

Welcome to the pre-session chaos!

As our daring duo ascends the stairs to the surface, they both feel a twinge from within. Upon further inspection, they have an encounter no one was expecting..

This week as we go behind the Trench Coat we catch the guys talking about the talks they had with Malus.

Our intrepid trio heads into the ritual chamber to confront Syraxis for the second time in a handful of hours.

Trevor and Harcos take some time attempting to figure out the puzzle that is the river of ley line magiks. When they finally make it through, after some small hiccups, they continue deeper into the scariness.

As our trio continues down into the depths of the Aetherport Keep, they begin to encounter more and more tie-ups. They do what they can to progress as simply as possible.

The team and co. sets out for the keep. Not before Harcos attempts to interrogate the Tabaxi again...to no avail. Upon descending...they reach a chamber of numerous branching paths.

Our team is split...yet again. Harcos has some somewhat secretive talks with Avalon. Trevor heads off to reforge his hammer with his father.

Reeling from the newfound information about his life, Harcos goes off the deep end ever so slightly. Trevor does what he can to attempt to anchor Harcos so they can recoup and start fresh the next day.

Harcos rushes into the castle and very impatiently waits for the King and Council to be roused. Trevor and Linara make it there right behind. Soon after, they are granted audience.
