    C3 - Ep47: Bodies in the Creek

    The thorns close behind them the moment they step through the gate. That turns out to be the friendliest thing these woods do all day. Twenty Sides presents Campaign 3, Crownfall, Episode 47. The last big gnoll's glaive flashes like the prism did, and then he turns and runs. Thelandor Misty Steps into melee, Annabel finally tries out her Wand of Magic Missiles, and Quinn finishes him off with Witch Bolt and Eldritch Blast, earning a brand new title from the table. After a short rest the party rides into the woods, follows the map through a night under the trees, and reaches an archway hung with charms made of bone, teeth and hair. Past the gate, a small stone bridge shows Annabel and Miller something in the water that nobody else can see. Then a tree in the middle of the path swings at Miller and Thelandor and pulls itself up onto its roots, and Quinn answers with the loudest voice in the forest. A little farther on, Annabel spots something green and about the size of a horse moving through the underbrush, and the whole party has to be super casual about it. New to Twenty Sides?

    C3 - Ep46: Swords in the Night

    Thelandor holds his swords to Quinn's throat while she sleeps. She doesn't know it yet, because in her dream she is somewhere else entirely, and she is not alone. Twenty Sides, a D&D actual play podcast. Campaign 3, Crownfall, Episode 46. On the snowy road, Thelandor's night watch becomes a gnoll watch. In her dream, Quinn wakes on red ground scattered with small fires as two figures walk toward her: an eight and a half foot devil whose horns match her own, and the celestial patron she calls Sky Daddy, who cannot see the devil at all. He tells her she is not what her parents did, that her mother is safe, and that she might want to ask the elf why he had swords to her throat. A few hours into the next day's ride the gnoll watch is a gnoll warning, and five gnolls with suspiciously good hair come leaping out of the snowstorm. In the fight that follows, one of the big gnolls makes a grab for Annabel's bag, which is a very specific thing for a gnoll to want. Thelandor and Annabel carve into the closest of them, Quinn upcasts Witch Bolt for 30 damage, and Miller drops two gnolls in a single turn. Every Twenty Sides campaign stands on its own.

    C3 - Ep45: Hand Over Hand

    Miller has one job: keep the mapmakers busy out in the snow. Annabel has to find one map in a tent full of them. Twenty Sides, a D&D actual play podcast. Campaign 3, Crownfall, Episode 45. To fix the cracked Focusing Prism, the party needs a map of the forest to the northwest, and every map at the outpost lives in the scholars' tent. An outpost brother brings two scholars out of the tent, and Miller keeps them standing in a snowstorm over the party's map of the portal, grilling one of them about scale, keys and what you are supposed to draw for a portal, until the mapmaker takes Miller's hand and draws it for him. Inside, Annabel unrolls map after map, puts each wrong one back, and slips out with the right one. Miller brushes the mapmaker off by calling him terrible at his job and walking away. Back in the tent, the brother who helped them is now sure he is part of the team, and he is already pitching names. Zalkim confirms the map, the prism goes into Annabel's bag, and the party rides out into the cold. On the first night under a big tree, Miller tests his new darkvision on watch, Annabel asks Quinn about her Sky Daddy, and the howls out in the dark do not stop.

    C3 - Ep44: The Crack In The Prism

    They tied the tent shut from the inside. She was already in there. Twenty Sides is a fast-paced, story-driven actual play Dungeons & Dragons podcast. This is Campaign 3: Crownfall, Episode 44. The prism works exactly the way Zalkum said it would, right up until he holds it to the light and tells them to keep watching for the flash. There is a crack in it. Not a chip, a hairline, the kind you only see for half a second at a time, and it is enough to make the thing useless. Which leaves two options, and the first one ends with the portal staying open forever. The second one is a woman who lives in a thicket to the northwest, who can put it right, and who is described to them in terms that would make most people pick option one. Back at the tent that night, somebody finally says out loud what the last four months have actually been like, and does something with a cup of water to prove to herself that any of it is happening. And in the morning, getting what they need out of the outpost turns out to cost something nobody saw coming. New here? Crownfall is a self-contained D&D 5e campaign.

    C3 - Ep43: Three Days Passed

    Something on the road opens its mouth and a human voice comes out. It is not its voice. Twenty Sides is a fast-paced, story-driven actual play Dungeons & Dragons podcast. This is Campaign 3: Crownfall, Episode 43. Two days of walking back toward the outpost with the prism, and on the second night the howling in the trees stops being distant. Six of them are coming up the road, five ordinary and one that is not, and they are not heading anywhere good. The party could let them pass. The party decides not to, and then immediately botches the approach badly enough that the things get to move first, which costs Miller more in one exchange than anything in the observatory managed. What follows is the most lopsided fight this campaign has produced, in the other direction. Then one of the few still standing opens its mouth, and what comes out is worse than the howling was. They get the prism to the one person at the outpost they trust with it, and he tells them exactly what it does by way of a story about his childhood that nobody asked for and nobody will forget.

    C3: Ep42 - He Knew And Said Nothing

    The prism is finally free. That is when the ceiling gives up. Twenty Sides is a fast-paced, story-driven actual play Dungeons & Dragons podcast. This is Campaign 3: Crownfall, Episode 42. Annabel gets the prism off its arms with a set of thieves' tools while a reptilian head the size of a table works its way in through the roof. The armored thing they were fighting takes one look and leaves. Thelandor goes up toward the creature instead of away from it, which is either the bravest or the stupidest decision anyone makes this week, and honestly it might be both. Then the whole thing drops into the room and opens its mouth, and the party finds out what it does at range. Getting out means going up the outside of a dome that behaves like a wet water slide, with a very large animal trying to follow. And then, on the way, somebody finally mentions a detail he has been sitting on for several minutes that would have changed the entire plan. New here? Crownfall is a self-contained D&D 5e campaign.

    C3 - Ep41: Something Upstairs

    Two figures in full plate turn to face the party. There is nothing inside the helmets. Twenty Sides is a fast-paced, story-driven actual play Dungeons & Dragons podcast. This is Campaign 3: Crownfall, Episode 41. Another floor up in the sunken observatory is a room full of broken windows, and hanging in the middle of it on four metal arms is a prism catching light from every angle. One of the armored things is up a ladder working on the arms when the party walks in. Both of them draw. What follows is a fight the party is winning, except the prism itself keeps lighting up and firing on everyone not behind cover, and they want it off those arms in one piece. Then something starts moving around on the floor above them. Then it stops moving. Nobody in this room, including the thing in the armor, is prepared for what comes through the ceiling next.

    C3 - Ep40: The Sunken Observatory

    There is one telescope left in the ruin that still works. Looking through it turns out to be a mistake. Twenty Sides is a fast-paced, story-driven actual play Dungeons & Dragons podcast. This is Campaign 3: Crownfall, Episode 40. They come out of the portal into ground they have never seen, black earth and burnt grass, two hundred feet from an observatory that has sunk into the ground. Something large has been climbing in and out through the torn roof, and something else has dug its own way down to the original doors. The party takes the doors. Inside, under the rubble of a collapsed hall, two things are purring in the dark, and when Quinn throws a lit stone to find out what they are, what comes out to grab it is not a paw. Upstairs, five observation stations, three of them intact and only one still in working order. It takes two tries to get a picture. The first person to look through it sees someone they recognize standing out in the shroud, which would be fine except that she is also standing right here in the room. Then somebody else takes a turn. New here? Crownfall is a self-contained D&D 5e campaign. Start at Episode 1 and you are caught up in a weekend.
