Rou and Trix leave the Dread Wastes and the end of the Cragsward Mountain range. As they enter the plains they see a swarm of butterflies, which offers a moment of peace after Eight’s loss. The pair set up camp after a long day’s travel and reminisce about their journey with their former companion. Cela even joins in and shares the full story of the incident in Isha. In the morning, they are awoken by the sound of horses and people. They find that Indy & Co, sans Indy, are returning from the fortress with a contingent of the Sultan’s army. They learn that, thanks to their connections, Indy & Co. were able to convince the Sultan to help them and raided the fortress while the party dealt with Erdir. The children were able to be saved but the Emperor somehow escaped. The pair join the contingent for a time, separating at Duskhollow, and eventually use the teleporter to get to Eulela. They travel from Kidohlva, ransacked and evacuated, to Liam’s manor near the remains of Pineview. As they draw close to their ally’s home, they spy a group of guards escorting an elf in a cage.

    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!
