What they got… was Orlen. Freshly freed from captivity, Orlen reveals he’s not royalty, not a spy, and definitely not worth ransoming. He’s just an apprentice alchemist with a really nice cloak and a gift for getting into trouble. Still, a new friend is a new friend—and with goblins behind them and the Duskhollow Sanctum still ahead, the party sets their sights on the next leg of their journey: deeper through the Virenshade Forest and up into the looming, mist-wrapped spires of the Gloamspire Mountains. But something stirs in the woods. The mountains are watching. And not every secret is buried beneath the Hollow. 🧪 One alchemist. 🌲 One cursed forest. ⛰️ One mountain pass that may be their last. 🎲 The journey climbs higher.  💡 Truths are revealed. ❓ Questions multiply. 🎲 Let the dice decide. 📌 Subscribe and hit the bell so you don’t miss what’s next in the world of Vaeloris!  #dndpodcast #actualplay #ttrpg #DnD5e #homebrew #fantasy #SameCritDifferentDay #Drakenholde #DnDYouTube #storytelling Expect:  🔥 Cult conspiracies and sealed dragons 🧙 Big lore and even bigger chaos 🎲 Full sound design and a cinematic D&D vibe 😂 Questionable decisions and terrible rolls 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3sMTVnB... 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/samecritdifferentday/ 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/nfFsbMzNJD Thanks so much for supporting indie creators—if you give it a listen, we’d love to hear what you think!

And sometimes, it’s on fire by the second round. With their Rivian guide Garth Crooks now part of the team, the party takes a captive goblin from the ambush and learns of a nearby village—and a human prisoner being held inside. The mission is clear: infiltrate the village, free the captive, and get out unseen. So they split up. One group distracts from the front. The others sneak around the back. It was a good plan. Right up until the part where they got caught. Now the party finds themselves in an all-out skirmish with an entire goblin stronghold. The odds are wild. The stakes are high.  🔥 One distraction gone wrong. ⚔️ One village full of very angry goblins. 🎲 The rescue turns riot. 🥷 Stealth fails. 💥 Chaos reigns. 🎲 Let the dice decide. 📌 Subscribe and hit the bell so you don’t miss what’s next in the world of Vaeloris! #dndpodcast #actualplay #ttrpg #DnD5e #homebrew #fantasy #SameCritDifferentDay #Drakenholde #DnDYouTube #storytelling Expect: 🔥 Cult conspiracies and sealed dragons 🧙 Big lore and even bigger chaos 🎲 Full sound design and a cinematic D&D vibe 😂 Questionable decisions and terrible rolls 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3sMTVnB... 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/samecritdifferentday/ 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/nfFsbMzNJD Thanks so much for supporting indie creators—if you give it a listen, we’d love to hear what you think!
