    S7 E14: The Pain of Memory

    Ashaña expands on her tale while Rou and Trix begin to question Umé’s intentions. Ashaña is adamant that Umé wants what is best, insisting that it was their misunderstanding of Umé’s warning that caused the destruction of the people of Nadros. Rou and Trix are forced to reconcile their interpretation of the events with Umé and Talbain against Ashaña’s story. The more the party prods at the details and counters with new information about the deity, the more Ashaña seems distressed. In turn, the group updates Ashaña on who the Emperor is and why Umé might be interested in destroying him. In doing so, they provide Ashaña with some insight into why Umé has gone silent. However, the news seems to bring no comfort. Ze goes on to share that not all were destroyed, as the Princess and their shared lover left with some survivors to start anew. Ashaña stayed behind to watch over the island and the weapon that dwells there. When Rou asks if it’s possible that the survivors brought knowledge beyond Nadros, they insist it’s not possible and escorts the party to his home. Upon arriving, they find a mysterious figure perusing Ashaña’s gardens. Follow Dax @gmdax, Kappa @TheKappaChris, Sebastian @sebastianyue, Wren @ThornyDryad and Nala J.

    S7 E13: The Missing City

    Ashaña leads the party deeper into Nadros, to a valley seemingly lost to time. Over the course of their walk, he has shifted from an element of nature to more humanoid in appearance. She summons roots from the depths of a pond to create chairs for everyone to sit on. As they pry into the party’s reason for being on the island, Ashaña shares a little insight into the history of Nadros. Ze reveals that the people that once made this island home repeated some grave mistakes of their past, and ultimately were the cause of their own destruction. When he mentions Umé’s name in her tale, the party’s interest becomes piqued. They realize the once imprisoned deity’s involvement goes deeper than they knew.   Follow Dax @gmdax, Kappa @TheKappaChris, Sebastian @sebastianyue, Wren @ThornyDryad and Nala J.

    S7 E12: The Guardian of Nadros

    Trix rushes to aid Elaith, who has been suddenly pulled up toward the canopy and an awaiting man-eating plant. As they make quick work of the predator, Rou maneuvers to catch his new friend when they fall. Unknown to the party, an unseen figure watches the scene from the shadows. As the smoke clears from Trix’s arrow and Elaith lands safely, the figure reveals themself. Standing over 8 feet tall, the figure demands they return to where they came from and insists the island has nothing for them. When Elaith pushes back, and even goes so far as to give a thorough description of the plant they need, the figure seems to relax a bit. Rou and Trix chime in, helping to convince the figure to at least talk with them - preferably in a safer place. The figure, who shares she’s named Ashaña, leads them deeper into the jungle. What strikes the party is that the plants seem to react to his very presence as ze walks through the foliage.

    S7 E11: The Smell of Adventure

    Freshly freed from quicksand, the party returns to the river to clean off the grit and wet sand, making a quick plan before continuing their journey. They decide that Elaith and Rou will forge ahead while Trix leaps among the branches to spy the trail ahead. With the humidity too high to dry their clothes, the party dons wet clothing and gets back on track. As they push through the underbrush, the party hears the sound of a child crying. They veer off course to check out the sound and find the sound comes from a mass of tangled vines. Trix peers down from above and sees what appears to be a small form wrapped in something purple, the form shaking with each sob. Rou and Elaith head into the vines to help Trix get a closer look, and quickly realize it’s a mistake when Rou is grappled by vines that draw him closer to a gaping, toothed maw. Trix is able to make quick work of the vines with their explosive arrows, which causes the plant to disappear into the brush. Returning to their original path, the party experiences a moment of peace before Elaith is grabbed by a draping vine and pulled up into the canopy.  Follow Dax @gmdax, Kappa @TheKappaChris, Sebastian @sebastianyue 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!

As a trade off, the party is able to extract some poison from the snake’s mouth for future use.  Deciding to continue upstream, they attempt to climb up the hillside by the waterfall. Unfortunately, an incident at the top causes everyone to tumble back to the ground. Changing course to cross the river the party pushes forward into the dense jungle.

They follow the river northward until they arrive at a waterfall. Convinced there might be something behind the waterfall, Rou and Elaith leave Trix to stand guard on the riverside.

    S7 E8: Terror of the Deep

    CW: Thalassophobia, implied drowning and electrocution. This episode centers around being on a ship during a fight, including screams and the sounds of water, so if you have a fear of drowning or thalassophobia please exercise caution listening to this episode. If electrocution would be triggering for you, please skip 27:55 to 28:32. As always, your safety and enjoyment are important to us. Rou has noticed something in the water and alerts Captain Lucy. She calls out orders for everyone to man their stations and the party braces for a fight. Suddenly a massive clawed tentacle shoots out of the water and drags two crewmembers off the ship and into the water. Trix swiftly climbs to the crow’s nest and shoots an explosive arrow into the sea, causing some celebration when two tentacles float to the surface. Meanwhile, Rou and Elaith stand at the ready with weapons drawn, waiting for the creature to attack again. When the creature rises from the depths and reveals its full form, much of the crew begins to scream and paralyzed with terror, including Elaith. The creature rakes a tentacle across the deck, plowing into the mast that holds Trix. They are able to get down safely but at the expense of rope burns on their palms. Rou dives into the fray, hacking at the tentacles with his sword. Captain Lucy calls out, her voice seeming to echo from the skies above and then lightning shoots down and strikes the creature. It flees from the ship, taking more sailors with it as its tentacles drag across the deck. The ship slowly makes its way to shore, and the trio help with cleaning, repairs and healing as much as they can before nightfall. Rou makes a memorial for the lost crew and does his best to comfort Elaith who admits this was much more than they bargained for. During his watch, Rou is surprised to find footprints in the sand when the island is supposed to be abandoned.  Follow Dax @gmdax, Kappa @TheKappaChris, Sebastian @sebastianyue 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!

The group discuss the implications of Vampire relationships, how Liam’s staff might feel about their employer’s identity and the issue of immortality. As the trio move onto the blood oath issue, Trix decides to test out one of the theories by cutting part of their arm to see what happens. The next day, as they close in on the island, Rou sees a strange rippling along the water’s surface.  Follow Dax @gmdax, Kappa @TheKappaChris, Sebastian @sebastianyue 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!
