/RSS FeedOur party goes back to their daily lives after an exciting day of dates and adventure, in what is sure to be a light-hearted and breezy breather episode. Wait, I’m being handed a note. Oh…oh no.
Wealthy changes hats. Vons worries that by not taking Renegade points he’ll get the bad ending. Aracyne fails to see the problem, and also D.A.R.E. Grickx engages in introspection, one of the most the dangerous activities known to man or god, as he examines an old wound. The GM damages the timeline.
Production note: Whit’s microphone continued to cause trouble during this recording, so we apologize if you have the sensation that bees are attempting to see if your ears are flowers whenever Grickx is around. Also, Adam’s recording was corrupted and had to be re-recorded, so if he sounds odd at times, that’s why!

/RSS FeedThe party drifts home after a night at the bar and reluctantly resumes the trials of daily life. Aracyne visits a certain shop. Vons turns down a networking opportunity. Grickx’s past comes back to haunt him. Wealthy looks at transforming the equation of her life. The cast barely prevents becoming unstuck in time.
Production note: In addition to Ian’s continued haunting by the screams of children, Whit’s microphone ran into some trouble during this recording. We had to cut in a piece of our backup, so if you notice the audio sounds a little weird for a minute, or two, that’s probably what it is! Hopefully! Or you too are haunted???

/RSS FeedWe rejoin our party while Grickx is away, as Aracyne gets called out and tries to explain the party’s sudden presence in the distillery to Nara. Things get a little awkward, to say the least. Vons considers the better part of valor. Aracyne swears it’s not what it looks like. Grickx lets Nara know where she stands. Wealthy puts a ring on it.
Production note: Ian would like to apologize for the random sounds of yelling children in their audio. This is, at least at the moment, not caused by them being haunted. However, they did live in an apartment complex where a bunch of kids, whose voices would not be stopped by such petty trifles as closed windows, were playing in the courtyard during recording.

/RSS FeedBOY HOWDY we hope you like worldbuilding, Seattle references, and fox flirting. Romance is in the air and bugs are intentionally on the plates at The Dumpster this fine evening as the party spots an attractive vixen. Aracyne makes the group some new friends, wingmans erratically, and shares some family troubles. Vons maybe gets a date, no one is sure. Wealthy is socially terrified. Grickx does not get baby bjorn’ed, much to everyone’s disappointment.
By the way, the prosthesis we were referencing is the prosthetic hand of Renaissance-era poet-knight Götz von Berlichingen, who you can learn about over on Wikipedia! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Götz_von_Berlichingen

Here we start the tale of the city of Arx Moltimus, and our motley crew of adventurers: Vons, Wealthy, Grickx, and Aracyne.

Little do they know how complicated their lives are about to get…
