    S6 E24: Setting Umé Free

    CW:This episode deals with character death. While we discuss these things above table and feel safe exploring them, we realize this might be difficult for some audience members. Please skip 30:03 to 32:51 if this would be triggering for you. As always, your safety and enjoyment is important to us. As Eight and Trix plummet toward a pool of molten earth the rest of the party races to help them. Talbain tosses a grappling hook, but it breaks. Realizing Trix is falling, Eight releases the orb into Rou’s possession and summons a portal underneath their friend. Talbain and Rou fumble a little but are able to save the orb from dropping below. Trix manages to angle themselves into the portal and tumbles out on their butt behind Rou and Talbain. As Trix is rescued, Mongo reaches out and catches Eight’s cape, leaving them to dangle high above the molten lake below. Eight takes the moment of stability to toss the ring through the portal, but watches helplessly when the toss misses its mark and the ring hurtles into the depths below. A blinding light flashes in the cavern momentarily. As everyone’s sight returns Eight slips from Mongo’s grasp. Talbain makes one more desperate attempt to grab Eight but misses the mark and the group is left to watch in horror as their friend disappears into the lava. A third color of smoke filters into the orb, the copper rings whir and make a clicking noise, the smell of sulfur emits from the orb. Behind them they hear a deep chuckle, and the owner is very large, barely able to fit within the cavern. The person thanks the party for freeing them, and helps them out of the cavern into the Dread Wastes. The stranger calls themselves Umé, and offers a boon as thanks for their freedom. Only Talbain takes them up on the offer, and Rou is broken hearted by his friend’s choice.  Follow Dax @gmdax, Kappa @TheKappaChris, Sebastian @sebastianyue, WallE @walle132 and Wren @ThornyDryad EPISODE CREDITS:  Produced by Dax Opening theme music, editing and mixing by Wren Logo Artwork design by Jessie Character Artwork design by Riyuski Segment music and sound effects licensed through Epidemic Sound LINKS: Be sure to follow and tag Roads Uncharted on Bluesky!

    S6 E23: To the Victor

    With Erdir defeated, Talbain and Trix take an opportunity to rifle through his pockets. They divide the goods among the rest of the party and Trix tries to peer into Erdir’s magic orb but to no avail. When Rou shifts back into his human form, Talbain reveals that he also is of the shapeshifter persuasion these days due to an incident while on a job. Rou lets him know that they have a deity that watches over the packs, and he even offers Talbain to meet up with Elaine, the lone wolf he met on his travels, in case he needed any advice or had questions. When Talbain is goaded into giving Eight an upgrade, Trix comments that perhaps they should all head outside the cavern before doing so. As all this is going on, Mongo continues to stare at Erdir’s corpse, commenting that something about it smells wrong. The group becomes concerned about Mongo’s attention toward the body, and Eight attempts to cast a dispel over it. They notice a weird shimmer cascade over the body before Mongo seems calmer about the situation. However, Erdir’s body immediately shrivels as if it had been mummified. Before the group escapes through the grate in the ceiling, Trix realizes they should check Faerlin’s pockets as well. They discover that Faerlin had mechanical limbs, and Talbain is shocked to discover he doesn’t recognize the maker. When Eight tries to discern if Faerlin’s ring is magical, they hear a voice just before the cavern floor splits open.    Follow Dax @gmdax, Kappa @TheKappaChris, Sebastian @sebastianyue, WallE @walle132 and Wren @ThornyDryad  EPISODE CREDITS:  Produced by Dax Opening theme music, editing and mixing by Wren Logo Artwork design by Jessie Character Artwork design by Riyuski Segment music and sound effects licensed through Epidemic Sound LINKS: Be sure to follow and tag Roads Uncharted on Bluesky!

    S6 E22: Shockwave

    After being stabbed in the back, Trix frees themself from Faerlin and notices that Faerlin does not appear to be ensorceled. When they ask why Faerlin would stab them, he reveals that the Emperor would not have abandoned them at the outpost without reason. The pair of Adar-Kai briefly engage in hand-to-hand combat before Eight utilizes the orb to cast a deadly spell at Faerlin. Unknown to Eight, this causes a pale light to glow from the gaps in their plating. Faerlin’s next attack brings Trix down, but pays dearly for his decision when Mongo joins the fray. With Faerlin defeated, Erdir teleports into the cavern. Rou seizes the opportunity to invoke his new patron and shift into his wolf form, which reveals his black fur is broken by a single white circle of fur on his left shoulder. Talbain chases after him and quickly closes the gap just before Erdir casts a spell to immobilize Rou. Eight collapses the ceiling on top of Erdir, the gaps between their plating glowing brighter, just as Cela brings Trix back to consciousness. Erdir emerges from the pile of rocks and turns his attention to Talbain, who strikes back with deadly force.

    S6 E21: A Matter of Trust

    A lantern illuminates the cell and reveals to Trix and Talbain that Faerlin is alive and well. It seems he’s come to escort Trix to their “proper chambers”, all the while shifting their eyes to the ceiling. Trix catches on to Faerlin’s hints and the pair agree to bring Talbain on as “another servant” so that Talbain can escape too. Faerlin escorts Trix and Talbain out of the cell through a hidden door in the floor, but they make a point to pull Talbain aside. He threatens Talbain with execution if Trix is harmed, but Talbain doesn’t seem bothered. When Faerlin assures the pair that The Dragon is not monitoring the tunnel, Trix brings Talbain up to speed. In the treasure vault, Rou sets Cela on a nearby chest before heading over to the pile of gear. He begins to change out of the borrowed clothes and notices Mongo holding a black furred pelt. It doesn’t take him long to realize that it’s his pelt, treated and prepared to be used as a rug. While Rou is absorbed in his thoughts, Eight learns something new about magic from Cela. They then set their sights on the orb and take it gently in hand just as Trix and Talbain arrive through a hidden door, escorted by Faerlin.

    S6 E20: More Flies with Honey

    A younger Rou is leaving the office where he has been hired to perform some clerical work and off in the distance sees a familiar face among the market-goers. A tall, athletically built dark-skinned person with round glasses is bribing a vendor with some cinnamon buns. The person spots Rou and immediately rushes over, hastily grabbing their purchase before doing so. Rou tries his best to disappear into the crowd but can’t escape Talbain’s excited greeting. After a short banter, Talbain steers Rou toward the nearest bar in an overly friendly gesture of camaraderie.  Back in the present day, Rou shakes off that memory and is greeted, briefly, by the smell of fresh cinnamon buns, sandalwood and lily. He tries to use his heightened senses to help find an exit but is unsuccessful, and the group quickly realizes the trap they’re set in when they hear stone beginning to shift. Rou notices that the tunnel is shifting and insists they run. Slowed from carrying Cela, Rou and Eight do their best to meander through the changing pathway and for a short time are separated from Mongo.  Meanwhile, Trix looks around their dark cell and realizes that the breathing is coming from someone who calls themself Talbain. Talbain has been chained up by his ankles, his wrists tied to those chains and he has been left to dangle from the ceiling. Trix successfully picks the locks and Talbain is freed, but they’re not as successful in fixing their mechanical arm. Once Talbain’s arm has been adjusted, he convinces Trix to escape their cell. Before the pair can plan their escape, a familiar voice is heard in the dark.       Follow Dax @gmdax, Kappa @TheKappaChris, Sebastian @sebastianyue, WallE @walle132 and Wren @ThornyDryad EPISODE CREDITS:  Produced by Dax Opening theme music, editing and mixing by Wren Logo Artwork design by Jessie Character Artwork design by Riyuski Segment music and sound effects licensed through Epidemic Sound LINKS: Be sure to follow and tag Roads Uncharted on Bluesky!
