S05E12 - The Four Treasures: Inexorable Chaos by Nino/Cliff Hanger
Gods are, generally speaking, not fans of directly putting their fingers on the scale. This is for a variety of reasons, ranging from cautioun to amusement, but is generally because after a few hundred millennia and enough prayers to fill a hollow Earth, you're bound to learn the art of delegation. Luckily, among the unwashed masses, there exist the exceptional, the gifted, those with the potential to become Heroes.
Useful pawns.
Thus, the Gods adopted a more laissez-faire policy.
Quasi Eludo has been a Hero. He did the whole "save the world” rigmarole, came home, and mulled over his magical journey. It was amazing! A whole lifetime as the destined savior, with magic and monsters, love and adventure, lifelong friendships and heartfelt goodbyes. There was so much, and yet, gone so soon.
It wasn’t enough. It was never enough. He wanted to do it again. And where wants coincide, there's a market, so he sold his services to the lazy, wanton Gods.
Now, after countless subjective centuries of Hero-ing, and several awkward conversations with the IRS, an odd God has come to Quasi with a unique request: Destroy a world, minimum payment of several million dollars on completion.
Quasi sees no reason not to accept.

S05E07 - The Four Treasures: Mistaken for a Returnee by ReWight
Aldritch of clan Blackshield is older than dirt and tired of just living day to day with no hope for the future.
A half-giant Dwarf by birth, a cleric by class, a soldier by duty, and a survivor by necessity. Aldritch has lived through more wars than he cares to recall. He's seen kingdoms rise and empires buried beneath the sands of time, and he personally witnessed the appearance of the first portal that bridged the gap between the demon realm and his home world. That portal was the catalyst that caused a chain reaction, which eventually led to the death of his world.
However, this isn't the end of Aldritch's story. And his next great adventure will take him to faraway lands where he'll make new friends, new enemies, discover a newfound love... And kill enough demons to drown the world in their blood.
Sulika Wysarie is the current leader of the Azuris' Hunter's Guild 3rd closing team. She lives with her lifelong friend; part time genius potion maker and shop owner, and full-time flirt - Faeyra Silverowl. The two of them have shared a secret since they were kids - Sulika is the sole surviving member of her family, a Kitsune, and more importantly, an heir to the mythical nine-tailed fox.
An oracle with a 90% accuracy rating has forewarned the hunter's guild that a group of cultists intend to open a portal to the demon realm right in the heart of their beloved city... But no one takes her seriously. No one, save for Sulika and her team. Now it's up to a Kitsune sorceress and her team to save their beloved city from the claws of demons. And in doing so, bring upon the world a walking calamity of anger and destruction.

Customer Reviews
Looking forward to season 4
Picked up the podcast on a friends’s recommendation, and burnt through Seasons 1-3 in a matter of weeks. Really entertaining. I liked the way the D&D format made the deep dive into Tolkien lore accessible.
Looking forward to Sembia.
Great Adventures in the world of Tolkien/Forgotten Realms!
Elen síla lúmenn’ omentielvo.
I recently started listening after finding about some of the interviews Jared had with Neo-Elvish folk. The story is true to Tolkien’s Legendarium but squeezes through and makes a fun, epic adventure. The interviews with the players and community stars, etc. are very refreshing. I would recommend for any Tolkien and D&D fan.
Oloré! Anyone who likes the Forgotten Realms, Sembia, Cormyr, Erevis Cale, etc. Needs to treat themselves to this wonderful drama Longwinded One has put together for season 4.
Excellent LOTR/D&D podcast!
This is a great way to spend some time journeying through Middle Earth with a fun adventuring party and excellent storytelling! Great wok folks!
