    Episode 161: Transversal: Aorut

    Anatrea’s answers have proven to be frustrating to say the least. It’s hard to tell someone they’re doing something wrong when it also seems they’ve done everything by the book, so to speak. However, her interest in the data sphere may yet open up new avenues of information. Connections are affirmed, feelings are expelled, and I told you so’s are uttered.

    Episode 159: Transversal: Bellowhearted

    Assurances that the Bellowheart call was harmless within the walls of Castle Aventur were in fact too good to be true. But rather than a towering creature made of teeth and tendrils, everyone is instead confronted by something much more terrifying. Poison is administered, creative tactics are employed, and leaders are sternly addressed. Join us and Nehemiah, Smalren and Jhori encounter the Bellowhearted.

    Episode 157: Transveral: Nanos Doing Nano Stuff

    The call of a Bellowheart has put everyone on edge. But a few more hours on the road doesn’t do much to calm anyone’s nerves once the group realizes where the sound is coming from.
