DnD Tonight Podcast Dungeon Master - Derek Matteson

Our adventurers find their way into the depths of Hades while the master of the underworld is away. His underlings are doing their best to dispatch these trespassers but they aren't likely to succeed. There are some unexpected visitors in the throne room of Hades's castle who offer up a premonition of the future but can they be trusted?Finally our adventures must make their escape from the underworld before Hades himself catches up to them while they get away with their snatched loot!

Heading deeper into the ground our group of adventurers encounter some strange things. Perhaps they are not alone in this seemingly empty cave after all. A riddle and a boat ride are coming up!

When your busy editing podcasts to make sure that content keeps streaming out to the legions of loyal listeners on the internet but your niece turns 15 and all she asks for is to play some DND with you. You drop everything and put together some DND for that girl's birthday.







Naturally I started prepping a game right away based on feedback from Tiffany that they had just been watching the Hercules movie. This first episode is based roughly on the fight with the centaur.

Neim Cave Painting: We fight shadow person. Smash him with axe. Was good fight. Cleff likes bananas, makes me like banana too!







All that stands in the way of our feywild adventurers is this shadowy temple guardian. The statues have been destoryed, but there's definitely a trick to the way this guardian fights. Perhaps they can figure it out before he manages to kill everyone's favorite character... Rain the griffin. Once the party gets inside what will they find? What has become of Asharis, Ghost Slinger, Merlin and Raal. Especially considering Asharis and Raal were both suffering from the negative effect that prolonged exposure to the shadowfell can have on you. Will Awen and her team of Fey companions make it? I can't wait to find out!







What's this... Light at the end of the tunnel? Well, perhaps darkness as we have reached the end of another wonderful season of DND Tonight. We hope you enjoyed it and can't wait to get you more great episodes in the future. See you soon for Season 4.

It seems our stand-in heroes are reaching the end of their journey. They have made it all the way to the temple atop the pyramid which Asharis, Ghost Slinger and Merlin managed to get trapped in and Awen can see the light of their spirits shining through the planes to her. There's only one problem. There appears to be a guardian and they aren't going to just let the feywild crew just walk in without a fight. There seems to be some trickery going on here as well? How can they fight this ghostly guard?







Neim Cave Painting: Shadow fight puny. Run away lots. I throw stuff til can hit good with axe.

Our feywild friends and their Paladin companion make their way to the Glacial Glade and the town of Skyfall only to find a swirling lake with a glacier at the center and ice closing in all around them. The helpful green Aarakocra that they saved from death in the snow suggests that they row out to the glacier they are so intent to visit in ceremonial canoes. You know what that smells like to me? A SKILL CHALLENGE!
