Liches Be Crittin – Détails, épisodes et analyse

The penultimate day of The Great Games is upon us.  Ahead lies spectacles honoring the gods Kyrah and Volkan as well as mother Thylea herself.  Some questions must be answered first, and some secrets revealed.  Our heroes may finish the Games with a very different perspective on eachother than when they started.

Ariel is betrayed.

Eto relaxes.

Nausicaa leaves her armor behind.

Nehmet is hypnotized.

Ylva is vulnerable.

Next time on…

Well that was…  Stressful.  What else could possibly lie ahead of our heroes in this tournament of familiar faces and uncomfortable truths?  With the next event approaching quickly, will the rest of the party learn what Ariel has uncovered?  Or will they be too distracted by the Great Game honoring Kyrah?

Has Ariel been talking to the other contestants?

Will Eto ever talk to Bemus?

Does Nausicaa know how to drive?

Can Nehmet do a flip?

Who does Ylva NOT want on the boat?

Find out next time!  Until then, remember to ward off the jealous gaze of the Twin Titans and to revere the blessed Five.  May The Chosen of Versi succeed in their quest, else all of Thylea will be lost...

Recorded: 21/MAY/2021

The 500 year Oath of Peace is coming to an end and the Titans’ jealous rage has only ripened over time.  Five heroes have been summoned by the Oracle, who prophesied that they are the only hope of refuge from the death of the gods, the destruction of the sacred tree, and the total annihilation of all mortal races.  Join our heroes (and their players):

Ariel (Venus), a naively entitled nymph with a pension for persuasion

Eto (Billy), a hard-ass Aresian soldier who believes that discipline and pride are cardinal virtues

Nausicaa (Violet), a strangely social medusa who can kill a yak from 200 yards away with her trusty bow

Nehmet (Sojak), a man out of time, slowly clearing a 500 year fog from his mind as he composes the greatest epic poem Thylea will ever know

Ylva (Jacob), a stranger in a strange land whose bone-and-hide armor is almost as threatening as her fiery magics

as they are guided through the world of Thylea by their Dungeon Master (Sam).  Many dangers exist in Thylea, especially for one so bold as to take up adventuring, but if The Chosen of Versi fail in their quest, the future of Thylea is certain to be a grim one.

The Great Games: Day 2, Event 2:  The Eye of the Storm.  Competitors are pitted against eachother in combat amidst the whirling tornado, all to the glory of the titan Sydon.  The combat is safe, though, with arrows awarding points rather than doing serious damage and the storm is mostly an obstruction.  But the Great Games bring more than the competitions, they bring familiar faces and familiar voices.

Ariel remembers loss.

Eto gives a hug.

Nausicaa has interesting drinking buddies.

Nehmet hits the gym.

Ylva checks in on Astraia.

Next time on…

With only three more competitions before the Battle of One Hundred Hands, our heroes’ time on the mainland is drawing to a close.  Soon they will be seafaring and island hopping on the famed Ultros.  Now is the time to air out the dirty laundry.  You wouldn’t want to be stuck on a boat with someone you don’t trust, would you?

When does Ariel not want to be smashed?

Is Eto fast enough?

What is Nausicaa hiding?

Does Nehmet know how to fix a chariot?

Would Ylva rat out a friend?

Find out next time!  Until then, remember to ward off the jealous gaze of the Twin Titans and to revere the blessed Five.  May The Chosen of Versi succeed in their quest, else all of Thylea will be lost...

The Chosen of Versi have certainly been in many peculiar predicaments, but this might be their strangest yet.  On board a ramshackle double decker raft, floating down the River Lethe with unlikely allies and an unclear destination, searching for a mythical ship lost to the ages at the behest of a king who has offered them little aid in the past.  Rapids and river creatures plague their journey, but at the end waits the Dead Falls and, hopefully, the completion of their fourth great labor.

Ariel investigates a letter.

Eto looks out for rocks.

Nausicaa gets some takoyaki

Nehmet teaches some new vocabulary.

Ylva smells blood in the water.

Next time on…

Five hundred years ago, in the throes of the First War, the legendary Dragonlord Estor Arkelander commissioned construction of the greatest ship Thylea has ever known: the Ultros.  The ship carried legions of soldiers past the edge of the world to confront the Lady of Dreams herself in the underworld, but the ship was lost, never to be seen again.  Until now.  With its ghostly light and skeleton crew, one can only imagine the treachery that awaits our heroes as they seek to return the boat to the port of Mytros.

Does Ariel recognize anyone on the Ultros?

How long can Eto hold his breath?

Does Nausicaa remember her last visit to the underworld?

Can Nehmet forgive an old rival?

Does Ylva feel guilty for killing that goldfish?

Another cool morning at the Sour Vintage.  Reminds one of the beginning of this great journey, when our heroes were hunting boars and still unsure of eachother.  Their tasks now are of a much greater scale, though, as they prepare to raft down the River Lethe to find the legendary ship the Ultros.  Given their past exploits, one can hardly guess what kinds of strange allies and new struggles face them as they venture towards the ominously named Dead Falls.

Ariel explains how to build a boat.

Eto gets a letter.

Nausicaa meets a new snake.

Nehmet forgives old grudges.

Ylva gets a kiss on the forehead.

Next time on…

We’re commandeering this airboat!  I had to say it, just once.  With Nehmet in charge, Eto looking out for obstacles and Ylva’s sister Ragna manning the rudder, our heroes set off on their hastily modified raft down the River Lethe to reach the Dead Falls.  An exciting and dangerous journey awaits, but that has become the norm for these heroes and their motley crew of allies, they should be able to handle whatever the titans throw their way.  But what was it Gorgynos said about a…  River octopus..?

Will Ariel let secrets stay secret?

Can Eto do anything useful during boat combat?

Is Nausicaa a strong swimmer?

How far can Nehmet fly?

Is Ylva feeling comfortable back on the water?

Find out next time!  Until then, remember to ward off the jealous gaze of the Twin Titans and to revere the blessed Five.  May The Chosen of Versi succeed in their quest, else all of Thylea will be lost...

And lo, the heroes did journey, with their minotaur refugees, north, once more, to the city of Estoria.  Their journey was sure to be a complicated one, but thanks to nearly 90 minutes of real time discussion on which route to take, they arrived safely with few surprise encounters.  And lucky for you, this recording skips over the pros and cons of the western versus eastern routes.  With a little bit of downtime marching along the road, the heroes are able to raise a few questions and concerns that have been brushed by the wayside during their non-stop adventuring, though the answers they receive aren’t the most comforting...

Ariel returns to a familiar place.

Eto does some astronomy.

Nausicaa gets a sidekick.

Nehmet places a long distance call.

Ylva gets a new purse.

Next time on…

Ah, the Sour Vintage: where these five heroes and their unsuspecting bard originally began their great journey with the slaying of a mighty boar.  They are stopping only briefly, however, as they are on the way to their fourth of three great labors.  The mighty ship Ultros of the great Estor Arkelander, thought to be lost, is supposedly one short river rafting trip away.  Then the heroes will be able to take their adventuring to the isles south of Thylea…  And yes, you read that right: river rafting.

Does Ariel know much about river rafting?

Will Eto meet the other Aresian?

Can Nausicaa slay a gygan?

Will Nehmet snoop on others’ private business?

Is Ylva dreading the task ahead?

Find out next time!  Until then, remember to ward off the jealous gaze of the Twin Titans and to revere the blessed Five.  May The Chosen of Versi succeed in their quest, else all of Thylea will be lost...

Maximus, ex-gladiator supreme, is now the most tyrannical slave-owner in Mytros, though much of Mytrosian society has been influenced to think little of his atrocities.  The Lady of Coins, however, wishes to put an end to his terror and has enlisted none other than The Chosen of Versi to help with that task.  It feels a far cry from liberating the continent from the murderous whims of the titans, but good deeds come in all sizes.  And all shades of gray morality, apparently...

Ariel meets some minotaurs.

Eto does a stealth mission.

Nausicaa commits arson.

Nehmet sends a message.

Ylva is a nightmare.

Next time on…

On the road again, the heroes return to Estoria, their old stomping grounds, on their way to the ominously named Dead Falls.  Tensions have been running high among the party as they grow ever closer and allow more of their personal demons out.  Perhaps what they really need is a few days traveling with a score of refugee minotaurs to air out their stresses.  Or perhaps this time without a foe to slay will only let them focus their aggression at eachother and at themselves...

Is Ariel eager to get a ship?

Does Eto think they’ll win?

Is Nausicaa ready for the Great Games?

Can Nehmet communicate with those outside of Thylea?

Does Ylva resent her gifts?

The underground of Mytros is a scary and heartless place, and it’s largely run by the thief queen herself, The Lady of Coins.  Not the kind of person you want to meet.  Unless you’re the Chosen of Versi, apparently.  A person of such ambiguous morals is sure to raise ethical problems among the group, but sometimes morals such as those are what heroes need in order to do what is right.

Ariel incinerates a contact.

Eto witnesses the evils of Mytros.

Nausicaa has a staring contest.

Nehmet is “non-lethally” killed.

Ylva meets Haskell’s employer.

Next time on…

Oaths of Service bind a worker to a master, usually as penance or payment for something, but this ancient magic has been twisted to evil by the metropolitan monsters of Mytros, head among them, Maximus.  Before heading towards their next adventure, wherever it may be, our heroes have agreed to slay this slaver and put an end to the slave trade in Mytros.  What they do next, though, is still up for debate...

Will Ariel help with the assassination?

Is Eto trained in stealth?

Can Nausicaa do more destructive arrow magic?

There ain’t no rest for the wicked, and the gods know these heroes haven’t gotten much rest since they first convened at the Sour Vintage some weeks earlier.  Lucky for them, they aren’t actually all that wicked, which means they are overdue some rest.  You know what that means, right?  SPA DAY!!!

Ariel is happy.

Eto gets a taste of home.

Nausicaa strikes a pose.

Nehmet loses some money.

Ylva shows her face.

Next time on…

Okay, spa day over, for better or worse.  The heroes are feeling refreshed and looking spiffy, so it’s back to the grind.  Their latest task: recovering the ancient lost ship the Ultros from the dead falls, where King Acastus told them it was.  First, though, some public service is in order.  Let’s put an end to slavery.

Does Ariel think about ethics?

Will Eto trust a criminal mastermind?

The city of Mytros is finally free of the terrible storm, meaning our heroes can finally see the city!  They have a couple more pressing matters to attend to first.  King Acastus has summoned them once again, no doubt to impart his pride and respect for their victory at Volkan’s Peak.  They’ve also promised to secure a worthy sacrifice for Vallus, after her great expenditure of power during the miracle.  First, though, they could use some downtime...

Ariel deals a lot of fire damage.

Eto takes a walk.

Nausicaa takes more than just eyes.

Nehmet takes a nap.

Ylva seeks out an old rival.

Next time on…

Back to back days of positively intense combat, defying Sydon and supporting the Five, leave our heroes entirely exhausted.  It’s hard work, being the only hope for the survival of the gods and all mortal races.  Today, though, is their respite, their mid-adventure reward, their… SPA DAY!!!

Has Ariel been missing her old lifestyle?

Is Nehmet eager to reap the rewards of heroism?

What is underneath Ylva‘s mask?
