Up on the battlements of Skyreach Castle, two hundred feet in the air, Moon Sugar is sketching the view of the Sword Coast into her parchment book with charcoal, having never seen anything like it before. Beside her, Yaseino is meditating. Neither of them notices Leosin Erlanthar until he’s right behind them and greeting them … Continue reading Episode 6: The Hunt for a Hero
Riding on the head and shoulders of Gary, a Frost Giant who took pity on them for being unable to keep up with the rest of the giants, the adventurers soon see Skyreach Castle in the distance, resting at an angle to the snow-covered surface of the glacier. On the way there, Gary explains to … Continue reading Episode 5: The Battle of Skyreach Castle
After spending the night sheltering against a hefty snowstorm in the foothills of the Spine of the World, the weather has cleared enough the next morning for the adventurers to spot the pass between the mountain peaks that will lead them to the Miklos Glacier. The path looks steep and treacherous, but it’s well-travelled enough … Continue reading Episode 4: A Giant Leap for Critterkind
“I bring you fast-break!” Bonecarver, the shaman of the ice hunters, throws open the door to the hut and presents the adventurers with a large dish of dried fish, before sitting cross-legged in front of them and smiling. “You need energy.

The docks are still fairly busy too, so it’s fortunate that nobody notices the opening of a magical portal, nor … Continue reading Episode 1: Return to Waterdeep
Stepping out of Strahd’s black carriage, the adventurers stand in front of an ornate set of doors marking the entrance to the huge gothic structure that looms out of the murkiness in front of them. Deciding that they should just go in as they’ve been invited, they gingerly push them open and then step into … Continue reading Episode 15: The Broken Heart
“I call to you, Llolth, to COME AND CLAIM YOUR PRIZE!” Drusilla’s starry eyes sparkle as she joyfully speaks the words, but suddenly her expression changes to one of shock and fear, for the creature that emerges through the portal is not the spider goddess at all. Whilst the enormous legs are most certainly that … Continue reading Episode 14: Boons, Banes and Betrayal
Silence claims the Amber Temple once more. From the head of the statue the adventurers can’t see much in the great hall, especially Siri who can’t see anything at all.
