Total Party Kill

In Barovia, it’s traditional to have a pool party for the dead.

It’s implied that you swapped urine. That’s what friendship means.

The Dog and Pony Show returns! With the same dog… but a new pony. And new players! And a new DM! Please enjoy this trip to a tavern in Little Borovia, and watch Tony die a little bit inside in the service of Dungeons and Dragons.

In this episode, our adventure comes to its end. A while ago, the Adventurers’ Pyramid installed Calcryx the white dragon as the ruler of the Sunless Citadel, with Meepo as its right-hand kobold. Unintended consequences can be tough. Will the adventurers escape with their lives and their treasure? If they can, they’re definitely going to make the front page of the next issue of Oakhurst & Beyond!

It’s good to learn things. Where does the Hobgoblin fit in the hierarchy of D&D monsters? If you’re killed by an arrow, does the second arrow really do damage? And how much blood can spill out of the bodies of unconscious adventurers who were just trying to get back to the surface and claim their reward? Also: Meet Bobgoblin the Hobgoblin!

Our adventurers have begun their trek back to the surface! But they’ve left so much destruction in their wake… and now they may have to pay the price. (Also, Furian’s curiosity gets the better of him.)

The boss battle concludes! The frog is dead! The tree lies in ruins! But not everyone will make it out alive! Who will survive? Those who remain will get an exciting trip to… Level 3!

This is it! The beginning of the end! Our party enters battle with the evil druid, his monstrous tree, his two plant-zombie thralls, his twig blight army, and most importantly, his giant purple frog!

Hobgoblins and twig blights and frogs, oh my!

Yes, the underground gardens of the Sunless Citadel are a beauty to behold, especially if you’re a fungi enthusiast researching for the Great Bugbear Bake-Off. But these ancient statues from a dragon-worshipping cult are just creepy.
