Flavius is still alone.

Lost inside a frozen ruin, he stumbles onto a secret ceremony surrounding something ancient—something buried deep inside the glacier that was never meant to wake.

Then it sees him.

And it speaks.

Meanwhile, Mac and L.S. are still trying to piece together what remains after the destruction of Damon’s Retreat when Flavius’ mysterious shield begins behaving strangely. Chains stretch into the trees. A familiar eye appears where it shouldn’t.

And then, for the first time...

Gentle speaks.

The party may be scattered, but something is connecting them—and whatever is reaching across that distance seems to know exactly who they are.

What are these voices trying to tell them? And what happens when something that has been silent for centuries finally answers?

The secrets beneath Damon’s Retreat have finally come to light.

The battle beneath Damon’s Retreat is over... but surviving it may prove to be an even greater challenge.

As the last servant of the Drowned Queen falls, the ancient temple begins to awaken. Black waters freeze, forgotten magic stirs, and the old watchtower above starts to tear itself apart from the inside.

With precious treasure left behind, Burdette trapped within the crumbling tower, and every passing second bringing the entire structure closer to collapse, our heroes must make impossible choices while racing for their lives.

But the greatest question remains unanswered.

L.S. lies motionless.

The secrets beneath Damon’s Retreat have finally come to light.

Deep beneath the old watchtower, our heroes descend into the flooded temple of Brax, where the truth behind Thornhaven's curse is guarded by the drowned dead... and something far more ancient.

As undead sentinels rise from the depths and a horrifying avatar of the Drowned Queen bursts from an ancient cradle, the party must fight for their lives in a desperate underwater battle unlike anything they've faced before.

But surviving the temple may prove easier than surviving its aftermath.

One impossible decision at the very end of the session leaves the entire party stunned... and raises a single heartbreaking question:

Can L.S. be saved?…

Welcome to another Heroic Roundtable! In this side quest from our main actual play campaign, we step behind the DM screen and dive deep into the guts and gears of TTRPG design, mechanics, and table dynamics.

In this episode, we break down what "crunch" really means for player immersion, how over-indexing on shopping trips can derail a session's momentum, and whether every campaign truly needs to end in a massive, set-piece boss battle. From secret DM confessions about using loot tables to save prep time, to the legendary backstory of the "Battle Maxster" and character death, we cover it all.

----

Fresh from their battle with Grumpa the ettin, our heroes encounter an unexpected face from their past: Burdette "Birdie," the gnomish historian they unknowingly drove away from the ruins of House Corbeau. Birdie has not forgotten their last meeting... nor has she forgiven them for making off with her research.

But old grudges quickly give way to darker matters when the sound of approaching hoofbeats announces the arrival of Markus Foxtail. Using the body of the fallen Torv, Markus performs a profane ritual that summons a figure from the greenfaiwth: Heimer the He-Witch.

The apparition's presence is unsettling enough, but the counsel he offers may prove even more dangerous. Elaria has once again fallen under the influence of Lord Galen Thornhaven, and if Markus truly intends to claim the throne, Heimer believes there is only one path forward: a bargain with Callista Fey.

As ancient powers stir and impossible choices loom, our heroes are forced to consider just how much they are willing to sacrifice in the fight for Thornhaven's future.

With Rowan delivered to Callista Fey and their dangerous bargain seemingly fulfilled, our heroes set their sights on a new goal: gathering the rare ingredients needed to cure the growing curses afflicting their companions.

Armed with Mama Vell's recipe and haunted by the consequences of their recent choices, the party leaves Briarberry behind and journeys toward Damon’s Retreat, where an old tower and a tranquil pond conceal new dangers.

There, they find Grumpa, the violent half of the two-headed ettin known as Granny and Grumpa. Unfortunately for everyone involved, Grumpa isn't interested in conversation.

As steel clashes with club and magic lights the waterside, the party must survive a brutal battle while continuing their search for the missing Foxtails.

After discovering the escaped messenger Rowan sneaking through Briarberry, our heroes uncover a chilling message from Lord Galen Thornhaven himself: all loyal soldiers are to return to the Thornfort immediately… and anyone suspected of treason is to be separated and captured.

With Sir Landon and the party now branded enemies of the realm, tensions rise across the village as fear and paranoia begin to spread.

But Rowan’s capture presents a dangerous problem. Determined to keep the message from reaching its destination, L.S. proposes a risky and deeply questionable solution involving a Bag of Holding… and the Fey goddess Callista’s sacred tree.

The campfire has burned out, leaving only the cold ash of betrayal. The Manticore battle is concluding.

The manticore has fled into the dark with Flavius’ steel in its back, but the wounds it left behind aren't just physical. In a night of sheer localized horror, the Foxtails have been shattered from within. Blood has been spilled by friendly hands, a companion has vanished into the trees, and the ultimate price has been paid by those who stood tallest.

One struggles to lead a party that has lost its soul.

One watches as a teammate succumbs to a lingering curse, rising not as a friend, but as the living dead.

And one mysterious figure from LS's past shows herself.

Can the Foxtails survive the aftermath of the storm, or is this the end of the road for our heroes?

The campfire becomes a battlefield.

When a monstrous shadow strikes from the dark, venom and confusion tear through friend and foe alike. Steel clashes where it shouldn't, loyalties blur, and the night fills with the clash of battle and the cries of the wounded.

One searches for the arcane truth behind the creature’s power.

One answers with flashing steel.

And somewhere above it all, one calls down a storm of fury unlike anything Thornhaven Forest has ever seen.

But will lightning be enough to stop the Alpha Manticore?

At the Tannery, what should have been counsel around a quiet campfire turns into revelation. Old loyalties fracture as secrets rise with the smoke.

And before the truth can fully settle, the hiss of something far worse cuts through the night.

This week, the conversation gets spicy as the players and Game Master tackle one of the most polarizing topics in the TTRPG community: narrative control vs. the dice.

Join us at the Heroic Roundtable with Brandon, Chad, Jon and Zach.

🔥 What Surprised Us Most? (0:17)

The guys revisit the shocking moment from the last session where LS (Brandon) got ambushed! Was it a fair fight, or a sneaky DM move? We discuss:

- How LS's "impulsive" playstyle (outside of rolling checks) led him straight into danger.

- The rare use of Passive Perception and how the Game Master avoided tipping off the players.

- Brandon's philosophy: "If I never roll a dice in a session, it's a good session!" and the joy of pure roleplay.

🎭 Roleplay vs. Rollplay in TTRPGs (2:09)

We break down the fundamental difference between "Rollplay" (relying on mechanics and dice) and "Roleplay" (narrative and character embodiment), and how our group balances the two.

- Chad explains the "Rule of Cool" and when the DM should prioritize a great story moment over a strict rules outcome.

- Brandon, Jon and Zach (the players) perspectives on Jon's consistent character work and how it earns narrative influence.

❓ Fan Questions for the Main TTRPG Actual Play (7:27)

We answer your questions from social media!

- For LS/Brandon: What went through your mind when you realized who had ambushed you?

- For Flavius/Zach: What's your first impression of Orsik of Urol? (Hint: It involves condescension and a hilarious comparison to a "tattered robes" villain). We also theorize what "ultimate answer" Orsik might hold.

- For Mac/Jon: Do you regret not choosing Bard as your class? (The singing has to come from somewhere!)

🚨 The Ultimate TTRPG Community Debate: DM vs. Dice (13:34)

We jump into the hot-button issue dividing the TTRPG community: How much should a Game Master shape the story vs. letting the dice decide?

- The player experience of being "railroaded" and why it feels "deflating."

- Is fudging dice ever okay? The GMs give their honest (and differing) opinions on when they might secretly change a roll.

- The electrifying excitement of a High-Stakes, Open Roll—where everyone is on the edge of their seat!

Don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave a review! It helps the show grow and eventually lets us afford more pickle-flavored snacks for Zach! (Send your dill our way!)

At the heart of Briarberry lies the Inn on the Green—serving food, lodging… and danger.

L.S. finds himself among fellow rogues who speak his language—but a wink and a word quickly spiral into something far more deadly.

Meanwhile, Flavius and Mac share drinks with a soot-covered stranger who offers a cryptic prophecy: “An answer is coming.”

As L.S. fights for his life in the shadows, Mac brings the common room to life with a show-stopping (and slightly toxic) performance.

Will L.S. escape his latest tangle with fate?

Will Mac embrace his inner bard?

And will Flavius be ready for the answer on its way?

Join the Heroic Roundtable crew as we break down the most controversial topic in tabletop gaming right now: The use of AI at your TTRPG table.

We tackle the ethical debate, creative concerns, and why a "bad take" on a new technology shouldn't keep people from playing. Whether you're a DM who loves to streamline prep or a player who prioritizes pure creative freedom, we’re unpacking this complex issue that affects every TTRPG player.

In this episode of the Heroic Roundtable, we dive into:

🟩 The Great AI Debate (31:55): Is consulting an AI for character builds, encounter ideas, or art a creative "slop" or a vital new tool? We discuss the ethics, the future of TTRPGs, and why gatekeeping has no place in our community.

🟩 The Power of Risk (13:50): How a player's choice to abandon "playing it safe" leads to the most memorable and chaotic moments in a campaign.

🟩 Creating Engaging NPCs (23:03): We talk about the characters that stick with you—from the surprisingly complex Landen Thorn to the hilariously memorable Grandpa—and what DMs can do to make them feel truly dynamic.

🟩 Character Motivation & Play Style (10:37): How a player's core motivation and inherent "flaws" can guide their in-game choices and deepen roleplaying.

🟩 D&D Memories & Milestones (18:27): Sharing our first unforgettable TTRPG moments that got us all hooked.

🔥 Join the conversation! What is your ultimate ruling on AI at the table? Let us know in the comments!

Sir Landon stands at a crossroads. With Lord Galen imprisoned beneath the Thornfort and danger closing in, he must choose where his loyalty truly lies—his oath, or his heart.

Elsewhere, L.S. and Flavius uncover a chilling truth: the Silver Daughter is no myth... and her apprentice has been just ahead of them since the beginning.

And in the quiet village of Briarberry, fear reigns. The Alpha Manticore stalks the streets, stealing villagers from their homes and spreading terror with every wingbeat.

Time is running out. The people of Thornhaven need heroes—but will our adventurers be ready when the manticore finally strikes?

Episode 16 .. Something has changed in the Thornfort.

The air hangs heavier, the moss clings tighter, and beneath the roof of the Greenman, old grief threatens to bloom into something far more dangerous. Our heroes return to uneasy silence, tense reunions, and one desperate plea for peace.

But deep within the keep, something stirs.

A rot that no blade can cleave.

With the battle's end and a sacred rite complete, Flavius, LS, and Mac set their sights on returning to the familiar (or perhaps not-so-familiar) Thorn Fort. Their journey, however, is quickly complicated by a thorny new power player in the region.

The storm has not yet passed.

Within the chapel walls, the battle reaches its breaking point—flames burn hotter, shadows strike deeper, and unlikely heroes reveal unexpected powers. Every vow, every secret, every prayer is tested as the sacred rite nears its end.

But when power of the Holy They finally answers the call... It may not be the answer our heroes were hoping for.

The frost still lingers.

And the silver daughter waits in an uncertain future.

🎼 Intro by Bollsch https://open.spotify.com/artist/0Ni0pDimedGrY3TJ64JG3y?si=oaxkTUrmTC-kdF0ylL7MgA

The curse does not wait for prayers to finish. As the sacred rite unfolds in the Chapel of the Silent Brotherhood, the skies tear open and death rains down: spectral griffon riders descend with ghostfire talons, and the forest sends its twisted thorn beasts clawing for entry. 

Through frost, fang, and prayer, our heroes must hold the line and defend those monks performing the Ceremony of Secrets Unveiled. But will the price be their sanity, their souls—or one of their own?
