Invisible and silent, the Slayers explore the Citadel. On the plus side, its giant guardians have no idea where they are. On the minus side, neither do our heroes. Can they infiltrate without bumping into each other? And what is going on with Buggie?

Let’s play Mishap! The Slayers have ‘pulled a Burple’ on their Teleport roll, now the DM will decide their fate. Will the Blue Dice of Power™ come to their rescue? Or will they find themselves plunging into the Rift Canyon?

The Slayers have found an unlikely ally. Will Talabir’s information propel them towards their goal? Or will they stand around for a whole episode, unable to make a decision?

The Slayers have teleported to the war-torn city of Kongen Thulnir in the hunt for Dragotha’s phylactery. Can they find anything of value in the rubble? Can they avoid marauding dragons and vigilant giants? Link to new map. Link to isometric citadel map.

We begin Book 10 of the Age of Worms – Kings of the Rift! The Slayers have returned to a rainy Tilagos Island from their adventures in the past. It is time to visit Marcus Doombringer before pushing on with their quest to confound Dragotha and his plans.

Uncle Buggie is under attack from a weird giant bony thing. Can the Slayers hold off the forces of Kyuss for long enough for the druids to escape? More importantly, can they finish Book 9 so we can all move on to something else?

We deal with some mail, then the Slayers must continue their combat against the Forces of Evil™. Can Paul get through an entire combat without malfunctioning?* Can Burple avoid making a catastrophic miscalculation?* The defence of the druids continues! *no *also, no Link to map

The Slayers have drunk from the Fountain of Dreams and have been whisked away to another reality. But where? And when?

The Slayers are short a feather. Can they steal it off Darl’s gang? Or will they have to go mountaineering?

Darl has disappeared. Can the Slayers seize the feather from the Efreet before his gang make their escape? WARNING: Contains painfully extensive scenes of logistical planning that some readers may find offensive.

Can the Slayers hold on to the Golden Belt? Come to think of it, can they hold on to their internal organs? Better yet, can they seize the Living Feather of the Roc King? The fight against Darl Quethos and his gang continues!

Darl Quethos demands the Slayers hand over the Golden Belt. Will they comply? Or will there be a bad-tempered combat packed with rules arguments? Take a wild guess.

The Slayers are locked in a struggle to the death with the Thornvale Nightmare. Can Scaly survive the sickly green disintegration beam? Can Buggie avoid being swallowed whole? Can Burple crawl to the nuclear detonator?

The Slayers have found the Thornvale Nightmare. Can they survive its deadly cone of super-heated Steve?

Wreathed in steam, something huge and unhappy awaits the Slayers in the darkness of the cave. Have they found the Thornvale Nightmare? The Elders as vikings can be found on Twix, here.        

Have the Slayers claimed the Golden Belt? Have they completed the second Task of Tilagos? And if they have, what next?

They have negotiated, fought, fled, fought again, fled again, negotiated again. Can the Slayers finally (finally!) claim the Golden Belt of Krathanos?

Scaly, Parker and Uncle Buggie take a trip to the Shadow World. But will they all make it back? And will all the players make it back from the broom cupboard? Krathanos does some more shouting.

The Slayers flee so far from Krathanos, the DM has to add in extra map to accommodate their cowardice. There is some re-grouping and re-thinking. Briefly, we lose a monkey.

We chat with AJ from the Adventurer’s Anonymous podcast and then it’s back to the inaction. The Slayers are in trouble. Will they make good their escape? Or just talk about it while things get worse?

The gang talk Dragonmeet and Christmas in an effort to avoid having to save vs. the imminent Meteor Swarm. The singed remnants of the Slayers must then face Krathanos’ giant ape guardians!

A reader emails in to take us all to task, then it is back to Tilagos Island, where the Slayers must face the wrath of Krathanos and his gargoyle attendants.

The Slayers have silenced the Doomshroud’s mournful song, and thus completed the first of the Four Tasks of Tilagos. Which challenge should they turn to next? And how will they get there?

We return to the Droomshroud for more forest-based fun. The Slayers are in trouble. Can they prevail over the Big Evil Tree and its arboreal guardians? Or will we have to come back again next week? Please, please can this be the end of it. And joining us for a chat this week is Willow … Continue reading Episode 171 – Underneath the Tree →
