Join the crew as we discuss Power Word Fail's epilogue: what happens immediately after the campaign and what legacy do the characters leave?

The Failures’ journey began in a cave, with a dragon. It will end the same way. 

The Failures continue fighting their way through the basement of Castle Everton. They confront some familiar enemies and have to unravel the mystery of how to move forward. 

Battle in the basement. Following Pkelz’ little-evil-man-in-her-head intuition, the Failures descend into the lower levels of Castle Everton and finally find a fight worth picking.

The party makes a move. The Failures begin their infiltration of Castle Everton. They make some bold guard-related choices and learn more about what’s going on behind the Wormleys’ walls. 

The Wrinkles of Time. The Failures take a proactive approach to a problem (for once) and head for the Mayor’s Castle.

An investigation on several fronts. The Failures do some snooping, first on the new threat of the Harbinger, and then on the dark history of an old friend. 

Harbinger of Change. The Failures plot some murder and begin getting to the bottom of the strange goings-on in Everton.

A spot of soup and intel. The Failures enjoy the hospitality of the Everton’s Oasis faction, and do a bit of shopping. 

Another live episode of Power Word Chill - the show about the show! The cast does a live level up to bring the Failures up to Level 9, and chats about Atrales, the events of Episode 55, and divine conspiracy theories. 

A hero’s story. The Failures have a difficult conversation over breakfast and an enlightening conversation with the mother of a lost companion. 

The bard-off and the bad deal.  On their first night in Everton, the Failures are  unexpectedly confronted by the past of a long-lost friend (in more ways than one).

The Failures finally make it to the Kyln settlement in the Trakari Wilds. A night of joy and celebration follows as Fyrric and Idalia choose a new future together.

A very special live episode of Power Word Chill, the show about the show! The cast answers fan questions and discusses the campaign so far. 

A head full of evil men. Pkelz goes on a traumatizing quest of self-reflection. In the morning, the Failures forge ahead to Everton and (reluctantly) pick up a traveling companion.

Not-quite-a-bridge-troll, not-exactly-a-good-idea.  The Failures encounter rough roads, bad weather, and a very suspicious character on their way to Everton. Ambrose proposes a plan to delve deeper into Pkelz’ strange memories. 

Fantasy icebreakers. The party hits the road once again. Conversations around the campfire that night lead to unexpected revelations. 

Introductions and late night visitors. The Failures are reunited and learn more about their new companions. During the night, they have a strange encounter with the inhabitants of a nearby pond.

 Chase scenes and new friends. The Failures flee the consequences of their actions . . . again. Along the way, they receive aid from an unexpected source.

In which the Battle Buggy is invented. The Failures go incognito (sort of) to attend the Ortemalian Games and finally get a glimpse of the Rock of Bristoll.

The Master and the mangled gnomes. The Failures make their way to the capital of the Concurrent Theocracy, and get an unexpected lead on an ongoing mystery. 

After the mines. The Failures put themselves back together following the deadly conflict with Tarsian and the Dark Matron. 

The Failures emerge from Castle Everton to find the city greatly changed. As they journey north, the party discusses what comes next for them, and Fyrric and Idalia decide what they want their future to look like.

So take a look at what you’ve done. The terrible battle with the Dark Matron concludes.

Through the portal. The Failures open a door and finally confront the enemy they have come so far to find. 

Chaos in the caverns. The Failures continue their exploration of the mines. They uncover some long-buried secrets and poke some obviously-evil vegetables. 

And the importance of elevator maintenance. The Failures begin their descent into the underground caverns of the Dark Matron. As always, things immediately go wrong. 

An assassin’s story. The Failures question their prisoner from the ambush. They learn a little about him, and a lot about each other. 

Camping is fun. On the second night of travel toward the Concurrent Theocracy, the Failures camp beside a river and finally get introduced to the other party traveling the same road. 

Context is everything. The Failures finally depart from the grand city of Mournstead. On their way out of town, they make a stop at Eugene’s parents’ house and an appropriate amount of chaos ensues. 

Research mode activated. Ambrose leads the party on a quest to understand the Royal Library’s organizational system. After a wild and crazy night of mining for lore, the Failures decompress in their own unique ways. 

A deep dive into fantasy tax law. The Failures head to dinner with Cornelius Abernathy, who offers them an unexpected gift. Navara takes steps toward repairing more than one broken soul. 

Fresh from their victory over the Harbinger of Change, the Failures hope to return to their own plane and get some well-earned rest. The Dark Matron has other plans. 

So say the Heroes of Mournstead. The Failures make an ambitious proposal to the Golden Council regarding Mournstead’s next ruler. A new arrival in the city brings news of the past and hope for the future. 

Let’s get the mob’s perspective. The Failures pay Pkelz’s family a visit to learn more about the candidates for the next king of Mournstead. Everyone’s favorite gnomish political operative has some secrets revealed. 

Lore! Confessions! Mournstead Toast!  Vilvanus’ stories about the good old adventuring days have surprising relevance to the present. Navara and Idalia bond, Pkelz and Miroz trauma dump, and Fyrric gets gloriously drunk. 

Always split the party. The Failures spread out in the city for an afternoon. Idalia and Pkelz do some shopping, Fyrric and Miroz have a heart to heart at the Black Rose, and Ambrose and Navara visit the Abernathy Estate.

Guess we’re politicians now. The Failures meet with the Golden Council to discuss the issue of succession. The candidates for the new ruler of Mournstead are presented, and the party is put on the spot to make a choice.

A night of respite. The Failures celebrate their victory and their sweet new home base by (accidentally) throwing a party. The political machinations of Mournstead’s elite don’t give them much time to rest. 

Confessions and funerals. The Failures spend an afternoon navigating their grief and guilt, uncovering some painful truths, and honoring those who fell at Zeos’ hands. 

What happens after. With their battle won, the Failures and the city of Mournstead have more questions than answers. The party returns to the Abernathy estate only to find a reminder that Zeos was not the only evil in the world. 

They crash around me… The prolonged battle with Zeos and his monsters reaches its deadly conclusion. Miracles and losses abound. 

Here's a war! The Failures’ showdown with Zeos at the royal court continues. When pushed to his breaking point, the tyrant of Northwatch proves even more dangerous than expected. 

The Failures finally come face to face with the Harbinger. A battle ensues, and Atrales’ mind is opened to some of what’s happening behind the curtain.

Are you ready for this? The Failures get one chance to sway the Queen of Malindor to their cause. Their visit to the royal court changes the course of their future – and everyone else’s. 

Welcome to the Homebrew Network's HolidA.I. Special! Join our unlikely heroes from across the multiverse as they teach Tiny Tommy the true meaning of the holidays.

A father’s love. The Failures bring grim tidings to Cornelius Abernathy and ask for aid in gaining the ear of the Queen. Evangeline’s family (somehow) proves even more complicated than previously thought. 

Well, that’s one way to cause a ruckus. Idalia channels her grief into (dubiously) productive action, and the Failures plot against the looming threat of Zeos.
