Our heroes are all rested up! Time for a quick quest completion! This should be easy, everything considered. Like I can’t imagine anything being more difficult to face than the fire giant. Let’s hope they don’t run into that again!

That was so tense! I didn’t know how they were going to make it out of there without a fight. Luckily things went smoothly. Thank the gods. I know Oolix wouldn’t have been able to take them in a fight. And if anything bad happens to Oolix…I might have to go fight the Black Spider myself. With backup from Max Hedman, of course.

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat

Oh wow, poor Gem. I can’t even imagine what she is going through. Hopefully things get sorted out quickly. I have faith that Oolix will come and save the day. Or someone will! Maybe it will even be Max Hedman? 👀

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat

Oh man, what a cliffhanger! I hope we get the conclusion to it immediately! Or…are we going to hear the other side? No, no, that’s fine. I just…I need to see the outcome. But I can wait! As long as we get it next episode…right?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat

Oolix is maybe the worst person to be alone I think. Quite literally it’s squishy. Like what is Oolix supposed to do if it runs into any trouble??? This does not bode well, and I don’t even know if I want to listen. Tell me what happens, Max Hedman.

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat

That wasn’t too bad of an encounter! Hopefully that’s the worst of what this forest holds….what do you mean look at the title of the episode?? What do you mean it’s not really a spoiler if it happens pretty early on?? Why is this description becoming even more meta than usual??? My brain is wracked, can I borrow yours Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat

Well, time to trek the woods. Hopefully nothing bad will happen! Surely, it won’t. Right? Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zaplsplat.

I am so sorry Gem. I can’t even begin to imagine how you are feeling. How did your mother even get involved??? It just doesn’t make sense to me. I hope we can get to the bottom of this mystery soon. Very soon. Let’s hope our party can keep up Gem’s sprits. I would hate to see what would happen otherwise.

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat

Gods I love when things are resolved peacefully. I mean fighting and violence can be gratifying, but there’s just something about finding out a non-violent solution to a problem that really tugs at my heart strings. Also Gem and Kayrn are going to have to do something pretty spectacular to dethrone Oolix as my favorite now. Right, Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Time to go see some orcs! This is absolutely going to be a hard and bloody battle, but I guess depending on the amount of orcs it shouldn’t be too bad. Just make sure Oolix stays in the back. I don’t want a single gel on that ooze’s head to be damaged. Too precious for this world. Right, Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Gods don’t you just love when you win?? I know our heroes are feeling pretty damn proud of themselves right now. And they should! Taking down an entire operation of bandits is no small feat! Well maybe for some folks like our previous protagonists…but regardless! I’m proud of them, and I feel like they should be celebrated! Crack open some bottles and start playing a tune, Max Hedman!

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Bradley really doged a bullet with Elsa, huh? Good thing he became a depressed alcoholic! Also I’m happy that they got some comeuppance for being so rude to our heroes. Does being rude deserve death? In this instance, yes! But I’m not judge, jury, or executioner. That would be Max Hedman.

This is a very interesting hideout. You’re telling me this group of riff raff coexists with a nothic AND skeletons??? I’m not buying it. Something fishy is going on here. Well, hopefully our heroes can make short work of these grunts and get to the big boss relatively quickly. I have hope! Do you, Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

That Nothic wasn’t too bad! Let’s hope the rest of this (for lack of a better term) dungeon goes well! I think our heroes will survive, they seem pretty confident. And it’s not like the Red Brands are trained fighters! Random street youths are easier to fight than soldiers, right Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Oh no. I hope the family is safe. I hope our heroes can help. Maybe this is just a random forest fire and nothing bad is happening?? The title of the episode has me a little scared though…please help me calm down Max Hedman.

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat

Harbon is the absolute WORST! He can’t stand the sight of a few dead bodies? What a CHUMP. Gods I hate him. I hope they elect a new town master. Someone incredible. Someone smart. Someone brave. Someone…like Max Hedman? Maybe?

Also, I guess I should say something about the Red Brands. Well there you go.

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Everyone here is so rude like what the hell??? Just the worst people I’ve ever had the displeasure of encountering. Someone tell that barkeep to grown a damn spine. Also that Chad character just makes me irrationally angry. I can understand why a certain bard tried to punch him. Perhaps you can get the drop on him, Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat

So that didn’t go as planned. I mean..who doesn’t mess up on their job every once in a while?? Also stink-eye from villagers can really mean anything! We don’t know the whole situation! I’m not going to count our heroes out just yet! Things can still go well for them. Right, Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

What a precarious situation indeed! Hopefully our heroes can get out of this with no trouble. I have faith that they will be able to save Sildar and defeat Yeemik quite easily! Then they can head to Phandalin and all have a pint! All on Gundren’s coin, of course. Right, Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

So this hideout hasn’t been too dangerous so far, which is great! But this guy here…he’s making me a bit nervous. Hopefully our fledgling heroes don’t have too much trouble. I’d hate to see any of them die this early in the adventure! I say you play us an optimistic yet cautious tune, Max Hedman.

Sound effects courtesy of zapsplat

So those Goblins were kind of pushovers if you ask me. Perhaps their leader will be a bigger threat? It’s always a bit scary to think about going to a cavern/hideout, but I’m certain if anyone is up for it our heroes are! Or they at least better be. I can’t imagine this will be friendly for those who are unprepared. Right, Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Oolix, Karyn, and Gem! What a trio of unexpected heroes! I know I have high hopes for them. Hopefully they can get this delivery done and get adventuring. Maybe they’ll even run into Bradley Copper and hear his sweet, sultry tunes (which sound surprisingly similar to Max Hedman).

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat

It’s a new day and a new adventure!! I am SO excited to meet our new crew! I’m really looking forward to getting to know them as we weave our way through this familiar, yet different, location! Maybe they’ll even run into ol’ Bradley Copper…that would be the dream. Right, Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Yes folks, it’s that time again! We have a talk back!! Also, we have a very special surprise guest that I don’t think ANY of you will see coming!!!! Please be sure to listen to the whole thing as we dig in to this past season of Modular!!

Well this is it, folks! This is the end of the story for our current heroes! Hopefully things go smoothly. Otherwise…I’m not sure how I’d feel. It is a bit sad, I think I’ve started to grow accustomed to these guys. Let’s hope they survive so we can see them again another time! Right, Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

So our heroes have were just beat the hell up..and that’s okay! They can still overcome this! Jermaine MUST be found! Garra MUST be stopped!! Things will work out in the end, I believe. What do you think, Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat

Oh wow! They just jumped right out! Talk about heroes who take action! Let’s hope that this wannabe Germaine doesn’t escape them. Let’s also hope that they don’t get into too big of a fight before dealing with the big boss of this operation! The title of this episode isn’t ominous at all…right, Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat

They found him! They found the boy!! Finally some good news!! I feel a lot lighter knowing that, truth be told. Hopefully they don’t have any issues getting him back home. I have high hopes for this. What about you, Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Hey just a quick forewarning, we had some technical issues with this episode. Hopefully everything should be good now, but I just wanted to make sure everyone knew. Excited to see what our heroes are up to next!

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat

Time to go investigate a kidnapping! But how is it tied to the Warforged going missing?? All of this is confusing and bewildering me. I hope something can get cleared up by this! What do you think, Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Jeez our team JUST got to this bar and they’re getting attacked ALREADY?! What’s up with that! I thought this was supposed to be a time of peace!! Well I think they can handle it. Or, at least, I hope they can handle it. What do you think, Max Hedman? Who’s coming out on top in this situation?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat

Things are going to start heating up in Sharn! Our new crew are about to kick some ass and take some names! Well, hopefully at least. They all seem a bit…weird. I mean, not in a bad way I think. Just..an odd bunch. What do you think, Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat

Hoo boy! A NEW campaign! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I can’t wait to see what cool and whacky characters our cast makes this time! Or maybe they’ll go with characters more nuanced and grounded? Nah I don’t think they’ve reached that level of maturity yet. What do you think, Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat

This is it. This is what it has all been building up to. Will our heroes survive? Or will they die trying to save everyone? I’m not entirely certain what will happen, but I do know one thing: Auril must be defeated. Right, Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat

Battle music courtesy of Descript

Well folks, this is it! Our final showdown! This is what it has all been leading up to!! I can’t help but feel nervous for our crew. Iriolarthas was a tough fight. They’ll need to use everything they have to really finish off both Auril and the cult once and for all. I have faith that they can do it! But just in case, can you hold me close and tenderly Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat

Okay wow, what a way to start combat. Let’s hope no one dies from this fight! Of course, they’ll be injured for their next one. I’m starting to think that they may not survive this journey. I don’t know if I could take that, Max Hedman.

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

A brain in a jar?? This has got to be the strangest adventure we have experienced on this show so far. The Dale is a weird place. Hopefully this person(?) can help our heroes get to the top of this tower. Otherwise, what really is the point of this character showing up? Right, Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

We’re in the spire!!!! We are really trudging towards the end now, folks! Let’s hope that whatever happens is only good for our heroes. It looks like we will just have to wait and see. The anticipation is quite literally killing me! Max Hedman, play me a funeral tune to ease my soul into the afterlife.

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Okay! We have the Octad, now let’s get this over with! And soon, please. I don’t think there has to be much glacier left for Auril to get through. We can deal with everyone else after we get this done. Right, Max Hedman?

I also want to extend a massive congratulations to our wonderful and fantastic editor Hollie for GETTING MARRIED! Seriously, this show would not be what it is without her. If you have the chance please send your well wishes and celebrations her way as she absolutely deserves it.

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Welp. That’s one death that can’t be reversed. I know this is going to weigh heavy on the party, but I think Bastion is going to feel it the most. Poor guy…he’s been through so much. I hope defeating Auril will help redeem him. I hope Amaunator is still around for him. I hope he sees the sun.

Okay so I know I went on this whole tirade about hags last time, but I’m honestly starting to hate these magen things as well. I understand that they don’t have a free will but come on. Also, who told them to go attack the bitterhearts?? It angers me endlessly. Auril needs to come down already so they have another target. Right, Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Does anyone else here just absolutely loathe hags? Just me? They always have some shit to say or do that I don’t like. It genuinely pisses me off. GODS they make me so mad. I wish our party wasn’t battered to hell so they could kill these fools. Oh well, a few stolen memories aren’t the worst thing. Also the way it is described isn’t how memories work..I’m not going to go on a tangent here. Max Hedman, play us a song to forget to.

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

So we’ve got the wand! Now we just need to find out the rest of the clues and then do this Arcane Octad! All before Auril can get down here! Also before Avarice figures it out as well. No biggie! If anyone can do it, it’s our heroes! I wonder what this woman encased in ice is all about though? Very intriguing, wouldn’t you say Max Hedman?

(if you have made it this far into the description, comment something about how Luke is an unfair DM, that’ll really get him)

These steps are pretty confusing to me. Why would the people of Ythryn design a system like this? Or maybe it’s the nature of the magic that requires it? I’m not certain, but it’s too much. I’d have stopped once I found out there were eight steps to this thing. I guess that’s why I’m not part of this group, right Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

(Also, if you read this description leave a comment on the podcast saying “Wow, great job Luke!”)

Not these things again! Who designed these creatures?! Whoever did needs to be smote. I hope it was Auril, because she needs to be smote anyway. Hopefully our heroes make it out of this situation so they can actually fight her. Also I figured she’d be here by now, what gives? Very weird how empty this city seems to be. Right, Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Well we’ve finally made it to Ythryn and I’m feeling a bit sad. At least Bastion got some form of closure. I hope he can find some kind of life after this adventure. What say you, Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Wow, a lot happened last time. I can understand if you need a little breather. Why not read this description to ease your mind? Reading something from a friendly perspective can help, or so I’ve been told. I think Logic did the right thing. I don’t think our heroes had a fight in them. It would have been hard fought, and they would have lost. It couldn’t have been avoided. Also those Nothic were very cryptic, weren’t they? I don’t know how much I can trust something with only one eye that speaks cryptically like that. The fate of a nothic is a sad one, though. I think this has been enough reading, don’t you Max Hedman? I think our friends here can rest easy!

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Okay so those guys came out of nowhere. Maybe they’ll know where the hostages are? I hope we can find them soon. I worry for poor little Toe’s life. He’s truly the best of us, wouldn’t you agree Max Hedman?

Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Oh, so Bastion is like GETTING his memories back. That’s good…I hope. What if we find out Bastion’s master was actually evil? Or Bastion is some kind of time bomb? I’m not sure I like this dungeon anymore. Max Hedman, can you please play me something to soothe my soul?
