Prelude to new coming adventurer, Owldysseus a telepathic 10ft tall owl who was the first of their species to really get to know humans.

This part is of first contact between humans and big fluffy and mighty owl people.

I fight a lot of bugs and the spar with by Haligorom and my moat monster.

I then see the enchanted mouth and are repeatedly insulted

Stats gained 6mr and 6sp

xp sacrificed 130 000 ish

Big wolf fought: 10 times

Big wolf petted: many many times

We escape but the Lunurek leader but something in my mind, I pushed it back before I did something horrible but I'm not sure it is go after all he did say I'll never be free of him.

This bring us to the end of Rhaknar Mad stuff, there was more but that has been unlinked from the rest of the game as it isn't cannon any more.

She then get out and finds it a more convention prison and get revenge on the people that double trapped her.

We find how we're looking for, but it look like things are going to be difficult.

We team up for a rescue and learn the are probably working for Runeskin as they have Oakaruk. We meet them and are knocked out in less then a minute and now I am such in my own mind, where they are also rooting about searching for secrets and discovering all my darkest desires.

Goblins are angry about this as it was originally a goblin artefact made using powerful goblin magic although later enhanced by human mages and plot to get it back and having a forest sneak up on the trading post.

Sir croakington goes into the forest and keeps goblins from getting all the most powerful items, armour and weapons in the world.

The first I find is a Dragon's lair near Talinus. I visit it several time to try all the options and regret none of them is just having and nice chat over Palo and biscuits.

Sir croaking goes on patrol and fights some skeletons then the giant ironfirst returns to cause more trouble.

There is still more to do here.

We also meet with our friend from another MAD maze apparently we'll have to team up at the bottom

We get to the temple, solve a puzzle of levers and snakes reach the statue and finally get rid of the curse. All four on the trip get very very muddy, one very very very very muddy.

Then to rush into the temple to dispel the curse before it ends my companions with many many undead

When I try to get out it turns out a lot of oakruk wrecked all those undead that loitering around and blocking my way out. The sorceress Koro-Tul my maybe ally is one source but runeskin and Ginoras have oakruk too and certainly need me alive to do their schemes.

This curse is getting annoying, next episode its time to get rid of it.

I find the goblin, learn its secrets and discover getting out will be very hard indeed.

I then climb two more of those 150 feet tall statues and get two more cubes.

After fiddling with statuettes and paints the time comes to deal with it once and for all, destroying it so hard it never existed.

Sir Croakington statue climbing (whispered) madness continues as she climbs Greygor's statue. The worst result happens, twice, surely the time mages are getting sick of saving her from her own obsessions.

After a big fight the staff of bats gets it ultimate power up.

She also fight scalp hunters near the first statues as another person.

Tiny ravenbone cube count: 5

I save the tavern from being burned down and fight a big bug.

Two formal adventures are unlocked here for the next episode.

I also make up what randomly generated song names are about and sing a bit of them.

I got to put this tavern in the game for supporting the 2019 kickstarter.

Except this is whispered madness and what actually happened is unknown.

30 choices each with 3 options. In this one I just pick whatever the first options is, sometimes its heroic sometimes selfish, sometimes cowardly.

The Mic stopped working a few times so things will suddenly skip ahead, to find what is missing there you'll just have to play the game.

I also remember Vark, another person I killed for no reason, in the tunnels of peril adventure.

I then next episode we'll get further.

I one thing I know for sure is I got some very nice bread.

I might have met a certain ogre, but with the whispered madness in my mind I'm not sure.

I fight many several devastating battle,except I don't but I still get hurt. I learn that whatever is going on ties into the Balewards, Raknar's MAD, the prince Iakor, or at least she thinks it does, but Madness.

You would have guess non existent weapons could hurt so much?

I get an amulet to protect me (hopefully), I put in on and won't take it off for quite some time.

Next is go back to Saarnguard isle (as soon as its but in game, apparently its on the back burner as time crab is more fun)

This time the mark is Tragyrox, the lord of the bronze hall, magical being, meddler in mortal affairs and really really big. He knows I am returning to that scheme filled isle and wants to be sure I'm prepared. Do do that I have to get 3 gems from a maze of his making and then forgetting. But that will wait for next time.

The first time I go into the portal and second time I don't, but that time was boring so it doesn't count.

Firstly I get a magical Aura that boosts Neveral reserve

Then someone tells me to retrieve a crystal ring and I get Ring that was powerful before power creep in the same dungeon.

After finally getting back I learn something survived, and that it hates me.

We are going back to Saarnguard, perhaps it will all start again.

She then remember what the her of his timeline was told to do, a summoning site.

What is summoned is those darn thrones themselves. 4 of them, this 4 of them and bring at lot of them. That alder bastard is their too, I see them all burn to tiny piles of ashes..

Surely this is the end, the enemy of time will never know of this place, right, RIGHT.

More importantly the best thane is back and still badass and I didn't turn him evil.

She meet two old friends, and learns what all her temporal meddling did to them. For one it went well and the other it went very very wrong indeed.

Apparently it worked but it still doesn't go them for them.

Then I turn up to destroy the alder throne half way through it turning the 4 siblings. Turmithra falls and I fail to save her because I hesitate.

I am allied with Mazembak before he becomes thane.

Also child Unleri is someone you don't mess with if you like breathing.

We the meet Thane Pyrond when he did the badassness that made him a thane.

First two jumps in time into the past of two dear friends of ours. I may have changed history, or maybe changed it back. It all very wibbly whobby timey wimey here.

Also ding dong a witch is dead, and the other is pissed.

It isn't secret anymore and one of the witches is there with us and the only way it to run, no matter the cost.

We have to go to Kardsen hoping that there hold back just a little in their own territory amongst those that think they are the good guys.

I then take a very stupid decision despite being repeatedly told it is very stupid and die.

Then things get more complicated.

Along the way sir croakington spends a night at a border rangers outpost. Thing then get tragic.

With every even quarter way safe way off destroyed a true risky way off the island must be used, it doesn't go to plan.

As expected snakemen are also fought and there is lots of fire.

We then take a winged reptile short cut to the top but it seems that with the guys having winged reptiles to and unlimited fire we have not avoid danger but rather compressed it.

A lot of snake men at fought and a lot of fire is thrown at us. He once again meet our old friend from all the way back in proving grounds one.

There is bad news, but what that is will wait to the next episode

We decide to get out of boat before half the crew turn out be rats (probably snakes actually tzaril feature heavily in at least some of the schemes of the island) or something but even your boat out was trapped.

I take about how spider that aren't magically big don't really work for assassinations and ants would be better. Spiders aren't going to waste their precious poison on something too big to kill and eat.

We are going to the city state of Kardsen which is long way away. We only just started and have already meet archers and a fire pew pewing sorceress.

The first is got from a well connected merchant we helped before

The second evolves going past 4 ghosts cursed by very weapon we use against them that repeated tell me this is very very bad idea.

We go forward anyway because we have to know what happens.

Then there is an evil looking egg but what that will hatch will wait for a later episode

All she has to do is say 3 words to someone and ignore the dreadful implications of doing so. There are 3 ways this can do, and several ways to them. I read all of them

After getting a way into the cave she fight her way through the technicolor bat squad and then meets a bat with clothes and magic who was taken the lady as a "bride" which implies some very horrible things may have happened who is called the bat lord and claims the land by ancient settlement and dibs.

In the battlegrounds I finally win a spar against a ruffian turned adventurer and get a ridiculous amount of xp.

37 is fairly typical puzzle involving levers, broken statues and giant mechanical rats.

One floor 38 we finally meet the mage we have been after since the attack on Ashlyre hundreds of episodes ago, there is fighting but maybe that isn't how it will always go.

There's also some fighting at the end, although that might not have been part of Rhaknar's original design.

Note: when I first unloaded this it was with the wrong episode but that is now fixed.

Someone I figure it all lot and the hammer gets more gems to make it fabulous.

The next for a blob monster, hot churning gears and pottery shards, there's a connection somewhere.

Then one the next floor there are giant shadow serpents.

The little stone spiders are put to use, skeletons are fought, loot is gotten and a giant spider is fought

Finally we Meet Rhaknar himself who explains somethings, notably that the Labyrinth is Not Mad.

I hope Thyrmbak can deal with them before they wreck him.

At the start I also accidently have to redo the previous adventure and end up doing it 100% murder free.

She learn the giant had a noble reason to be there and helps with that.

Dreyuk is still driven utterly crazy by the desire of the dreadstones, the feeling becomes mutual.

As happen in many cases involving the dreadstones there end up being a lot of corpses and dreadstone get a new owner (but who/what own's who here?)

Surely there a better way this could go and thus this route never happened.

Its turns out its with another powerful wizard that went crazy and disappeared, as wizards do.

The 19th has a lot of elementals and a elemental theme all round.

The 20th is a of stuff which automatons, shadows spiders and a lot of stuff to do with the best dial and we're only just getting started.

I also talk about how dating with lichen growth is a thing and that reveals that my name was carved centuries ago in an inaccessible place

This time the giant nigh indestructible elementals are earth and the hammer removes the nigh and in.

I also find a monster that is far far above Sir Croakington's ability to defeat, fortunately I don't have too much it still there and we will probably meet again.

I his episode I talk about werewolves and why they should learn that much astronomy and I also burst into a song based off the song with that comes up whenever the word Flash appears all highlighted.

She fights a lot more of those fight warrior and gets the rest of the pieces of the ogre automaton. She have to solve the very difficult puzzle of having to remember what was on the previous floor.

She then fights a lot of giants shadows by setting herself on fire.

First she crosses the abyss and she's what is on the other side, then she has to cross it again to find out something I should have remembered or noted down somewhere back on floor 2. It turns out that poem is important lower down as well (which I knew as I done this before many times but I forgot for drama or something)

Then she fight robots and are also skeletons for twice the expendablity .

She then starts gathering giant metallic body parts for reasons unknown, maybe building herself a new non toad body?

There is still much deeper to go.

In Just the first floor she finds, deadly automatons, moving floors that try to stop her (she finds something to help with that) and first encounter with the eye, skull and moons symbols and dials she will become VERY familar with.

I then meet the actual goblin king and he tells the story of the fall of his empire and what he would have done with the statue if everything hadn't been destroyed before it was done. I then get massive rewards.

At the end there is a great mechanical reward and all the souls trapped by this business are freed.

Along the way we meeting beings that we caught up with the curse that put the two mages in the painting.

I also go off on tangents such as about reassemble-able Roman statues that and the stabby politics that made they necessary.

We then cut off just before we finally confront whatever the heck is going on here.

I then get directed to the next glyph which I then go and get in an illegal way that then didn't happen.

She also fight an ogre and seems to be part of greater schemes.

She then finds a lady in a painting and is drawn into a larger adventure.

Sir Croakington Climbs the tower solves a puzzle that proved hard for an idiot (me) fights a lot of undead watches geometry go off and cry in a corner and gathers the flame. Then it is back to Irongard for great rewards and no real answers.

Along the way I talk about the range of replayables in Sryth, historical map making and ways the piles of human bones could have got there.

She then does a bit of extra judicial killing tests a new axes she got and meets a crime lord.

I get some green fragments from her that I help will do something.

Gra Granak has one last trick which is quite unexpected by sir Croakington but which Breyek seems to have seen coming .

She then makes her exciting escape.

She goes into the ruins of an ancient tower fights a lot of snake men and finds a cat man that explains what is going on who is behind how disastrous it will be if they succeed.

Taking them down will be in the next episode.

Firstly I help defend a rundown fortress from a bunch of angry trees.

Then I rescue someone from a semi legendary amphibious beast

Once his get his she has the attention of people who certainly have a flexible attitude to property rights and may turn out not to be safe to know in general (if this quest yet lead to anything further)

After more then 200 games she defeats the 7 mavens and become known as the greatest player.

Some zarathmoorian stuff is tied into this to because of coarse it is as the great crab's pincers reach far indeed.

She then she and rat and ends up having to deal with that problems and coming across wibbly wobbly timey whimey zarathmoor stuff in the cellar along with the rat's friend.

Sir Croakington goes to the lakeshore tavern and starts by climbing her first of the titans of tysa statue getting the first of 9 ravenbone cubes.

On the way into the tavern some wibbly wobbly timey whimey zarathmoor stuff happens or at probably did.

Looking around the tavern a bit sir croakington then repeatedly relaxes by the fireplace until 24 adventure tokens are found.

The She goes to the Moonshore crossroads and take part in some of the earliest events ever added to the game

They I track down an ancient artefact and ignore all the the contextual information

She also get told to track down an ancient Aldvarian Amulet and that will almost certainly lead to fighting too.

Firstly she gets sent off to seek from treasure by Piripor (the tavernkeep) cousin the she discovers something disturbing below the church in Hawklor.

Then I go to another place I unlocked long ago in blentlimb wood and upgrading the table.

I then do the first upgrade of the sword itself.

I go down and find the inn is haunted, but that isn't the real problem.

First I need to get a map to the place which involves dealing with two somewhat shifty characters.

Then I go into the Tomb of Zardruzin and see that became of him and restore the wand.

This adventure is also framed in a very creative and heartwarming way.

Then at the end of the episode I learn what to do with them.

Sir croakington fights her off on her own and gets 10 jagged Iron shard and are fused together to make a disk that will unlock further adventure.

They are found and only violence remains to be done.

I also might have got the interest the dark god or one of its minions and gets a repulsive token of said interest.

I learn what blueboot thought we was doing and decide what to do with him. Then I try to find rethwill.

Concludes here: https://redcircle.com/shows/bd535987-8b1f-4ba5-afcb-adb2484eef24/ep/869d9a38-264d-4153-a03a-6ca46245f474

I then visit blade square and get my pocket picked and discover most of the ways that could turn out, with one being much more rewarding then the others and leading to ATs

In the fight a thief is tracked down

In second I rescue a goblin fence before learning a terrible secret

This time there is no adventure (like this https://redcircle.com/shows/bd535987-8b1f-4ba5-afcb-adb2484eef24/ep/143b1a90-5fb2-4f10-a5bc-7ce872b9c5bd) or new area (https://redcircle.com/shows/bd535987-8b1f-4ba5-afcb-adb2484eef24/ep/69198f89-57bf-4787-bf0a-aef9fe43f450) to explore as there was been in previous years, with time instead being spent on family and permanent content instead your just get powerful equip that becomes even more powerful when used together giving me a new most powerful weapon.

I then find someone else wants the boot and gives even less reason, as they aren't even the one that wants it and they don't say who does.

At the end I can only hope I haven't helped the forces of evil because I have no way of knowing if I did.

Firstly I first a slimy worm and then bunch of glowing monsters although it turns out they aren't just a random monsters.

That is lot of them and it mostly falls on sir croakington

Even after victory the heartbreak doesn't end.

I then learn of and play a part in, the tragic fate of the mage Nillom who give me what I need to strike at the heart of this business.

One the way she finds a cave filled with undead wolves and demiwolf who seems to be behind all of this.

Finally getting back to stonegate and rather then rest she find more undead rampaging around killing and terrorizing everybody, undead use in more horrific tactics then usual.

A lot skeletons get smashed.

I discover it out only the souls of bad dudes that are stuck in axepath cemetery.

I encounter another undead lord that hate Jurth Creyn, but that doesn't make him a friend and I go tomb robbing.

I start to uncover the secret of tablet of axe and brambles.

She then challenges the hall of seven ghouls.

I meet a palobreadman and wolf creatures that that wants to eat him and all his people and an island kingdom that is being exploded and its knights cursed to wander as ghosts.

This was the started of an aborted jousting event in the battlegrounds.

Bandits, bug and goblins oh my.

It is super strong, super faster, and super pissed off at me, and that before I killed it a dozen times.

Sir croakington goes to it and has various adventures including a fight with a big worm.

Firstly a company of Oakaruk

Then I encounter the Ogre champion again, it still hates me

At the end of the trail I find the Gilnoras who can finally explain things whilst Runeskin is busy fighting a whole lot of dragons.

There over several day I encounter an image of an ogre that is slowly becoming real. It seem to be being slowly made to just to fight me.

At the same time Ginoras is also advancing his schemes which I will probably take part in until our goals diverge overmuch.

Eventually the ogre becomes solid and attacks furiously.

I get the box.

Then the necromancer wants the box too.

I don't know enough about either of these to make the choice. But I feel I made the wrong choice here.

Since I'm already in Durnsig I do a couple of adventures their too.

I deal with some ogres in the traditional stabcentric way.

I once again meet the entity that I first meet in this episode, https://redcircle.com/shows/bd535987-8b1f-4ba5-afcb-adb2484eef24/ep/9883b189-bc16-44fe-84f9-ac1a65cad5c7

I am to get some scrolls for him but I have to get past a dungeon filled with skeletons first

Who but that object there isn't clear put the townsfolk saw a man in a leather hat who has interested in the circle of warding.

I also get 4 adventurer tokens.

This aren't so simple has something has possessed everybody in the town and I have to fight through them.

I also find some very powerful blue stone orbs.

This concludes everything that is in the game so far.

Tally had been there so I asked him about it.

It appears it used to be his, or his partners, and a center much be found to restore it. I go to a former companion of Tally to get the missing piece.

Then Things get complicated and deadly.

The rewards at the end are great.

Then I have my first encounter with a ghostly ogre

I can only hope they didn't do anything nasty there.

I have my first two encounters with what seems to be a attempt to make a copy of sir Croakington.

I also uncovered the first lower level of Tarn and that it is Tarn Hurn himself that has the ring. Apparently there are more layers to go (they aren't in game yet)

There then more Oakaruk north of village, where I find another runemark stone left by mysterious axeman.

Reinforcements have arrived, from someone how has dealt with runeskin before, starting here: logisticssupportsalisbury@wessexarch.co.uk

Since the traitor mage Gilnoras has turned up runeskin is certainly behind this, what if any role the sorceress in the woods had is unknown.

Even though village is saved not everyone in the village is.

Firstly I get and enhancement from him that helps me role more 20s in battle which is very useful.

Then I learn he has got himself in debt to another mage you has very rough friends were are as all the other things a master mage can do to those that anger them like turning them into a slug or something. I retrieve an ancient staff with possible necromantic powers to clear that debt, hope that does lead to problems down the road.

There's supposed to be a ring but Zorlairn won't talk about it.

On each floor I encounter a unique skeleton with unique loot, and lots of lots from the regular skeletons.

At the bottom I finally defeat what I assume it the evil behind all of this and and enslave all the rest of the skeletons.

I gets some nice rewards at the bottom of this.

We explore the skull shaped dungeon which has many layers, a least 3 so far and lots of loot.

Something has done down in Hawklor and Runeskin is connected.

The Oakaruk have now down as far as Mirgspil, and in such large numbers it requires a heroic sacrifice to deal with them. It appeals runeskin controls them, so how much of previous Oakaruk business was the sorceress?

I show her it it is half of the writ of Umdorol and give me clues to find another. I get to where it is with the help of a mysterious ally that I have meet before. I fight some elements meet Umdorol and complete the writ.

Using it we find a weapon that will help against all those Oakaruk we keep on fighting.

The stewardship of fogbough is now restored and is battle against the curse of the wood and finding the sorceress and here walking sticks are a foe.

I get a very nice reward of a large permanent base stat boost.

I learn what became of the disgraced mage Umdurol Baleward.

After finally ending the monster I return to trithik and am greatly rewarded.

As the castle I she just you strong the wards on it are and am very glad I'm wearing the Baleward Seal.

As I light the beacons I learn the fog doesn't like being banished and is quite capable of doing something about it.

I am tasked with relighting the beacons of Baleward castle to drive of the cursed of the forest and restore the stewards of Fogbough to return to keeping that word in check.

It seems very likely I will encounter a Mistwraith before this is all done.

Firstly I unlock and use the full power of the bowl of blood, hopefully that doesn't turn out to be a terrible idea.

I find a mysterious book in silver crest headquarters and meet Dreadmask again and help him fight something again. (previous meet here:https://redcircle.com/shows/bd535987-8b1f-4ba5-afcb-adb2484eef24/ep/43fa690a-994f-4336-b559-dea19ead85c9)

After that the silver crest is ready to go back to monster slaying (although I suspect I will end up doing most of it)

I also find more treasure in the spider trolls lair.

I meet a corrupted guardian of the forest

I get all the equipment needed to explore the circle of the wolf

I help some people get out of forest whilst keeping ahead of some oakaruks

I see the sorceress for the first time put she teleports away before I can do anything.

I find several places that I may return to in the future.

I find two sources of temporary stat boosts.

I try out the goblin totem block for permanent passive stat boosts.

I find enough to unlock and silver crest reborn and heir to flame adventures.

https://redcircle.com/shows/bd535987-8b1f-4ba5-afcb-adb2484eef24/ep/9d6b0f99-e8eb-489a-bb9f-2c05f8f4d8cd

https://redcircle.com/shows/bd535987-8b1f-4ba5-afcb-adb2484eef24/ep/9d6b0f99-e8eb-489a-bb9f-2c05f8f4d8cd

https://redcircle.com/shows/bd535987-8b1f-4ba5-afcb-adb2484eef24/ep/9da95c25-9077-4a81-b1b8-8f2ecd92f9d1

We learn the some bits of evil are leaking out of forest, but maybe there is good within it too.

I fight the Ogre god that gardens the gems and smash it to bits.

My apologies to any Skargokk believers listening to his.

I get up to ten gems, to get the last 2 I will have to explore the cursed forest.

I also read a New GM journal update and get hyped.

Between rounds of the Lords of Ogredom Battle grounds challenge I find away to the temple. I has many traps and then the Ogre good himself. I get my first gem. 9 more to go and then I can see Teek, formerly of the silver crest about the last 2.

I then get a lot of rewards for finishing Proving grounds V. But I have to fight at cat to get them, a cat that has nine lives and zero sense.

All my companions are demindcontrolled and then we banish the evil from this world and get a cool weapon too.

Then there are good byes.

But what is the green glow?

It may be too late as the dragon as already took control of figures at the highest level of society and stole the army. I have to fight them but only to subdue as they aren't themselves right now.

I go towards the dragon temple fight ancient heroes and then I have a sudden revelation that completely changes how I view everything.

Its seems this village is more for Larping then as a military base.

Things have not been going well. There have been deaths and turnings.

With the power of the eye the shadow dragon's greatest minion is released from centuries of darkness and my surviving companions are restored.

We then team up to fight a horde of enemies.

After many trails I face the spider king defeat him after an epic showdown and take his treasure.

Now to go back to by companions, if there's anything left of them.

Sir Croakington learns shadow magic, a lot of shadow magic. We then learn where we will go where it will be most sorely needed.

The road is long and shadows hunt us put it seems be do have an ally.

I then learn of how this all got started with the war been the league of 4 then later 5 and the shadow dragons.

Meanwhile back in Trithik a greater evil tires to eliminate the whole silver crest.

I face a Kurnok then a Stumpstill. As for what they are you'll have to listen, or play Sryth yourself.

To get it I raid a tomb. Unlike other tomb raiders I do not disturb all the dead, just most of them that were already walking around.

My first mission is simple wagon guarding duty, or it was supposed to be that anyway.

I go there it is filled with bandits. Even after loudly beating them nearly to death they still won't run away until they're had their turn. There leader is even dumber then that and uses up his one mercy token and thus has to die.

This is Zoop's run through were we meet the actual lord of infestation then deal with in the traditional manner of heroes (violence) https://redcircle.com/shows/bd535987-8b1f-4ba5-afcb-adb2484eef24/ep/fba8fe58-76da-4c5a-a82c-9394ee0ed2de

It takes 3 goes to finally win the contest. An the attention of legendary bandit chief and self (and sometimes other people too) proclaimed hero moonwolf. I say I will help him out but I whether I will remains to be seen.

Something spoilerly happens and Jirig is going to stop hunting trolls.

Guided by the Archmage Hurenon (who I first meet here: https://redcircle.com/shows/bd535987-8b1f-4ba5-afcb-adb2484eef24/ep/7c5e57f0-65a8-4b68-b269-2e939105b162) I go to to a strange place to get rid of it.

I then do some short by very rewarding follow up adventures to it.

Just to see what happens I make a series of bad decisions and an adventure option that will never have happened.

Whilst the 1st of the 3 parts is easily to find then second is taken by the guards and placed in the well fortified guard tower.

Good thing I'm friends with their boss.

other routes for 2nd skull fragment here https://redcircle.com/shows/bd535987-8b1f-4ba5-afcb-adb2484eef24/ep/cc3efaa7-5c10-4000-96af-775fffa348ce

I follow the trail of people that had it, but they have already passed it on.

The blind Archmage Hurenon, who's power and skill rivals the Grey Mage herself has commissioned me to get before it necromantic power is used for ill.

I fight: a hag, undead spider

I don't fight: dog because they are good boys

The tree lord tells me of a guarded glade, the guards being nastier trees and then some ghouls. I can't get the thing they are guarding yet.

I then collect the bounty on a master assassin and resist this bribe of lots of blood money.

Sir Croakington meets both of them.

Thing is there is a bunch of other goblins in the way that don't want he rummaging around in the tomb of their most renowned leader for some reason, but they are quickly scattered, but they will be back.

Then I end to talk to another old man about how to actually get in there.

Its that not everything going to here is what the masked thane wants, I suspect more snakey authority has a big role.

Then I find the secret at the store of everything, a throne with iron panels and certainly some magical powers.

I sat on, maybe that was a very very bad idea but asap xp makes you forget regrets.

Within there are monsters to fight and mysteries to uncover.

I finally meet the sorceresses in the hills which we which got hints of in our first formal adventure wholly on the island. Apparently we're been here before, in another time and place entirely and it links to a great smoldering throne.

I then explore Saarnguard keep, it is a very scary place and constantly tries to kill you and is filled with secrets and lies

I also get 8 ATs.

A clue I find tells me where to look next, the jagged hills where I go back to to beings that are at least honest about wanting to kill me.

He is good, so could I only won by temporal shenanigans knocking him off his house so hard there is no melee fight needed.

I then learn who he really is and it is very good news.

The show goes no least morale be further damaged and she still naturally wins.

The mechanics of jousting are explained in the previous episode https://redcircle.com/shows/bd535987-8b1f-4ba5-afcb-adb2484eef24/ep/d8613726-36f2-41c2-8761-540bf012a90b

In in part 4 we see the schemes extends far beyond thanely politics as we suspected before.

Also one of the jousts is a jerk, but he get back at him with the lance.

This obviously results in more dead snake men and zero dead sir croakingtons. But the reaction to his intrusion threaten my disguise as much as theirs.

I also meet blue cape, despite trying to kill me twice he seems closer to the side of angels, as close as you can get on saarnguard.

I meet monsters and a friend in the wild.

Along the way me get messages from a soceress in the hills that we will surely meet later.

The chief of goblins is also of note.

I also fight a giant fire breathing snake that just comes back bigger if you kill it.

Things in saarnguard continue to run deeper and darker.

Further show by combat Prowess and learn of a qualify for a joust.

I also talk with the thanes chief commander here.

I warp to the island and after fighting some goblins make a good first impression and so face what is probably not an accident and prooves nearly fatal.

Such is danger in this endeavor that not even the fortress of thane is safe any more.

However it all seems to link to saarnguard isle and the efforts to reclaim it

Things get very complicated as a massive battle with goblins, ogres and royal calvery breaks out.

Only stonesong can end this and with the help of an expected ally it does.

One tomb raid later the horn is retrieve, now we just have to get past the army of the goblins and ogres to totally toot up that giant (and hope the legends are true and the magic still works)

I also identify the items picked up in the previous episode and use them to max out sir Croakington's base stats.

But then I learn the message is non longer necessary but hawklor is even further from safe now.

We then find that the remaining forces, now stranded in this world have decided to attack southleaf just to be dicks in something like a fantasy version of the battle of Castle Itter and like that battle we meet up with other quirky defenders.

It is already opened so we have to fight various things they bring through it and the true leader of the attack.

He also learn exactly what they are they.

After dealing with the dangers of wilds and and an ambush he discover they are going to an ancient temple to summon forth who knows what.

I also find an ally.

They are seeking a mage you knows how to open locked shadow paths thought which even greater horrors will doubtless be brought.

The town now safe I team up the the master elementalist Unleri to stop the invasion, save her father and avenge those already fallen.

Just getting close to springs is hard enough but then then I have to fight my way past a small army of undead solve a puzzle and defeat the springs final guardian.

I just help that this water helps whoever it ends up being given to.

This is also my first episode with intended background sounds.

An item that I found in those ruins helps the town out of its economic slump, although how it works and how it got there remains a mystery.

I then deal with a criminal element that was using the town, permanently.

I am tasked with finding an amulet on an island.

I explore the isle land and find a cave with a magical barrier more exploring finds 3 crystal rods to lower it.

As I find the amulet it less and less looks like it was simply lost.

However and bit of convenient forgetfulness and some all skills and powers xp make me not ask questions

This begins a long quest where we fight along side each other, with Vark either defeating some foes or making combat easier. But he does get hurt in the process.

Since I'm a twisted bastard I wanted to find out what happens if I Vark's health goes down to zero.

I find out, it is very sad but the adventure does continue and nearly always takes note of that.

I really appreciate that that GM wrote and coded this dark route even though it is quite possible that nobody has seen until I did just now.

This is how is should have went if I wasn't so sadistic: https://redcircle.com/shows/bd535987-8b1f-4ba5-afcb-adb2484eef24/ep/9ba9a83b-e112-47f8-aa05-99123ee57989

I fight trolls

A rogue stone construct that doesn't know to stay down

A dimension with unknown by certainly evil goals

I fight and ancient and incredible tough skeleton with thousands of health.

I then fight a big snake that may not have actually been a threat to anyone

Both of them give me lots and lots of xp to everything.

I then trade in all the stuff I found over the previous 4 episodes to Timikith for a lot of adventure tokens.

1. a very powerful skeleton
2. a really big snake
3. A sinister force that commands hordes of rats

In this adventure we deal with the last by restoring the shattered idol the really really big rat god (I presume). Oddly enough this god has no issue with me just taking the idol.

I find a big snake, lots of stinky ghouls and suspiciously aggressive rats with glowing eyes.

It almost like someone wants the undercity to stay seals and there are things down there and should stay down there.

Guess I have to deal with whatever monsters are down there pretty sharpish before then get out and kill everybody.

More importantly she finds the dragon we saw flying over the city in the previous episode and we have a chat. He has problem only a smaller person can solve, which I then do.

She see's a dragon and is told where to look for it

She learns and secret and very dangerous way to open a path to the even more dangerous undercity

She learns of rat man problems lead by dude in eye patch you is almost certainly a rat in disguise.

Then there is a shocking twist at the end.

These adventures as short but I spend so long on theological speculation I pad it to the hour mark

Following restoring it to a mostly presentable state Sir croakington starts getting visitors. The first is very unwanted but the option to whoop his arse and get 8 ATs makes it worth it.

The second reveals the previously owner was eccentric even beyond what comes naturally with being costume drama lead rich and had an actual secret basement for mad wizardry, at least some of which involved the quickstone and other of it the involved shadows, shadows that are far more the mere absence of light.

A normal person would be angry about this but for sir Croakington having danger without the commute is a selling point for this house.

This is also the end of the backlog so the next episode we go back to adventures of sir Croakington

I get the bandits and an extradimensional horror to boost getting powerful equipment to better deal with whatever menaces the kingdom next.

This adventure is so tough sir Croakington has to sit it out as she doesn't have the powerful items that would help having only done about a 5th of all the stuff one could do.

Even Zoop has a lot of difficulty and has to use all the tricks he has which makes the victory even sweeter.

I also meet the mysterious rescuer from the very start of Zoop's adventuring career.

Only the first ten are sent to the bad place here the other 3 have holed up somewhere and it will take a whole adventure to root them out

A series of very odd timey whimey reality bending zarathmoorian stuff happens whilst I get them

This gets me the first 10 of them

I read out what those prizes were here (except the top prize as on the winner knows what they are)

I also tack a different contest for a very nice amulet on end.

At the end of the event the Platinum cubes were traded for fabulous prizes, including more adventurer tokens then you'll get from doing everything permanent with one character and powerful equipment.

Later we deal with the those eggs: https://redcircle.com/shows/bd535987-8b1f-4ba5-afcb-adb2484eef24/ep/5255dfe4-8fc8-4f96-87b9-ead507c514eb

Here's hope he indulged the other hobbit traditions of good food eaten often, being friends with cool wizards, being forgotten by the forces of evil and long lives.

After touching the pommel of of statue 30 times over several months (and likely being featured in several episodes) sir croakington get teleported to mysterious dungeon in another dimension to meet who brought me there, and she cannot leave, even in death.

She get got, but has to go through some skeletons with some help from a helpful magical axe.

She buys a map from a random guy with promises of "great treasure" then drinks a strangely colour liquid she found in the middle of nowhere.

She then goads a master swordmans into a duel, a swordsman we met before. Sryth bedtime stories | RedCircle

I then learn they are even worse then that.

Then I get there and its even worse.

The first is to catch a poacher.

The next to deal with some problem in a small village which turns out to have had the missfortune of being a sight of demon invasion, but I nip that in the bud.

I then return to Sevenhorn and the wild man Quith. The Kurund are up to something, and since its them its going to something bad. It is only in the second adventure I learn just how bad.

Also one person is very very very very very stupid, but gets to live up because I'm impressed that someone could put that much stupid in one place.

I take a different route then I did when Zoop did this https://player.fm/series/sryth-bedtime-stories/the-killing-hand-of-winter and take a path that is more rewarding has someone mostly innocent paying the price for it.

I also talk about some ways this adventure could be spiced up a bit.

There is a mysterious man with mysterious powers from a mysterious source who plans mysterious murder for mysterious reasons. At least some of those mysteries with me revealed when the scenario is published.

Its will take 36 runs to get shield, these will all be done off mike, this is what will happen when you finally get it https://player.fm/series/sryth-bedtime-stories/the-final-slaying-of-the-ice-troll

Then she comes in contact with the minions of the time crab. Its turns out things are already timey wimey.

She fight 2 of the most powerful monsters ever and then a foe that is in every way her equal, which actually wins.

Then she tries again wins on the second try.

She also meets someone very very important.

Put first we have to get it back, which means we have to solve a dungeon filled with murderous bells.

The rewards are great indeed.

Also has a co host.

Sir croakington has difficultly due to repeatedly making very bad decisions and getting killed, fortunately its a video game (but without video) so that didn't happen. She then filled and escapes with the treasure, but it turns out she isn't the only one after it.

Its started here: https://www.breaker.audio/sryth-bedtime-stories/e/96210826

This time she has to fight a lot of Undead, using that handy undead bashing staff she got in the previous episode.

Somehow that has ended up saving that whole realm, I may be for the best not to know exactly how.

Its turns out an old foe is behind it.

She is to get an orb of underground ruins. 3 tried before and they never escaped, probably due to all those giant bugs.

Sir croakington succeeds, of course and get another 4 ATs.

Sir croakington then goes to the battlegrounds and takes part the challenges. Someone drops in uninvited and starts off something that will probably take a while to finish.

Sir croakington also gets a nice new Bow

Also art criticism.

After dealing with some regular bandits she tracks down the leader, who is also necromancer, barely.

The books are retrieved in short order.

They is then get another archery contest which is the same as before except when the technicolour snowflakes fall, I everyone tries shot as they already got their bows out.

A stuck well turns out to have a truly monstrous cause, and even killing it isn't the end of it.

Then sir Croakington help deal with a troll under a bridge

Then I get you off on a lorebook dive about the Fabled north.

She then finishes of a century old tale of love, terrible parenting and murder.

Somehow sir Croakington Finds them, it might have something to do with that person that turns up whenever she finds one.

She gets some of them from a lair of giant ants and there even gianter queen.

At the end there is huge reward, several of them actually.

She gets a few uprgrade on the way to discovering the secrets of the city.

It will take many runs to uncover all that is to be seen there.

She Gets the feeling this was his plan all along.

She then snakes through a now dungeon and choses a shape for reasons as yet unknown.

Then a portal opens, it surely leads to the final showndown, but she should be sure she is well rested before doing that.

The after fighting another of runeskins immortal minions, this one a human (or a least WAS human) she ends up with part of something that might actually win this thing.

Its a huge thing with goblins, undead, trolls ogres and every bad thing that could be rounded up.

Quite a few things for Sir Croakington to Deal with

Sir Croaking Fights Runeskins Varied Minions and then the beast himself.

and despite some bumps along the way succeeds and is greatly rewarded.

Nope.

Also singing.

Its turns out its worse then that.

We finally stab all the evil out of her and she then combines her 3 pretty god rings to one uber ring.

She then fights a lot of undead and pushes through to the inner chamber where a lot of stuff will do down in the next episode.

The the merchant uses a bonus I got early to some I can actually use it.

Goblins

Giant bugs.

Giant humanoid that aren't rare enough.

She also thanks her horse, firstly by giving her a name.

Before that I explore the odd north woods a bit and find the Jade Fang Ant lair, which I stay far far away from, those ants are scaled!!!

I also get permanent stat boosts, this saga being one of first places put in the game to do that, as by then several people had maxed out Xp and brought nearly everything at Tallys's so that was the only way everyone gets something nice at the end.

But first I have to deal with redcoat yet again.

I also learn the goblins have other deities, one of which is is opposed to the goblin odd of fire and hatred.

But it isn't over yet, in the final part I can finally do lasting damage to the goblin gods schemes.

It falls to Sir Croakington to save the salamander before it gets hurt, or hurts someone else, or both.

There also goblins because that's what the saga's about.

This adventure was also the very first I recorded, so you can see the (lack of) improvements brought about by 18 months of podcasting

https://www.breaker.audio/sryth-bedtime-stories/e/64021569

In this one most of the goblin fighting goes to other people, she's got traps to worry about.

After stabbing through the latest goblin subcontractors Sir Croakington finally traps the necromancer somewhere he can't run. After he finally runs out of skeletons he is killed.

But he is a necromancer.

She also meet someone she'll like to have an adventure with sometime.

Its turns out Goblin human relations don't always have to lead to war.

She'll have to help out the border ranges that cleared that up once she's dealt with whatever these flame Tattoos do.

The goblins and head and scattered and won't be probably for a generation, the necromancer escaped and will certainly cause more trouble.

The wood is calling, she will have to go into it eventually.
