Episode 36: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Monster, Chapter 3
We find our Aquatic Ancestors underneath the thick water, standing on the edge of a continental divide. Before them lies an expanse of blue that is pierced by a pulsating red light, emanating from a towering structure of a curious design. From their vantage point, it would seem to be a maw of earth, with jagged teeth rising to meet them, washed in the bloody glow of the central tower. Heavily armed with weapons and deep caution, our Paters make way for the central structure, being drawn to the light…
Entry #35 of Tariq Daynjerine
So, after our multiple days at sea, and hearing Kipa tell that story about his home, I gotta say I was inspired and excited. Maybe today was finally my chance to show the crew that I can handle more on the ship. And I tell you what, I was ready- I wore my clean pants, and a new shirt I got on Garshep Island, and even threw on my lucky skivvies. There I was enjoying a meal in Cookie’s mess hall, and I see Earl enjoying his go to meal—the…
Episode 35: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Monster, Chapter 2
Last we left our party, they was face to face with a strange mist, sanguine in color and enigmatic in character, where their navigational direction seemed to end. With this pernicious condensation gawking at our Paternal Party, and the unbearable known journey behind them, it seems to be nothing more than a dead end. However, those unfortunate assumptions and assuages are the begetters of stories of horror and myth, where it is either hero triumphant or villain brutal that arises from the narrative ashes, and our situation is no different.…
One year ago…
One year ago, we released our first episode. It was an episode that we had recorded several months earlier, one where our characters were still nothing but small fragments in our minds. An episode that we had painstakingly edited through audacity, our only means we knew of at the time (and our levels were very off). An episode that was to be our first and foremost foray into podcasting. We were four best friends who, at the time, were living across the country and had had such a blast playing…
Guest Exit Interview: Jared – Tua’Rohk
In this episode we interview our first guest Jared and give him the space to share what it was like guesting on From Afar. It may seem daunting coming into the middle of a story, but Jared rocked it with panache and grace of Sacha Baron Cohen giving an operatic shave on stage. Jared hails from the western regions with a background in film production and is no amateur when it comes to the spiciness of dnd, or at least, it doesn’t seem that way. Ranging from a history that…
Episode 34: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Monster, Chapter 1
Yar, me mateys! This here episode marks the start of our first arc, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Monster! With an emboldened direction, our heroes and crew feel the fickle tickle of that wispy seductress known as wind; filling their sails and their hearts as they soar into the unknown that lay so tantalizingly close on the horizon. And with such travels comes the luxury of gambling and downtime, as Kipa Willowind blesses you with his very own fireside chat! Let Christian wisp you away into trees that know no…
Episode 33: Yub Nub, Eee Chop Yub Nub
Having helped the Garshep return their deity, the Mahna, killed the Cephoreal, revived Prism and said goodbye to a dear friend, our Furious Fathers find themselves in a position that they have not been in for several episodes: ready to embark. Since their warp from Baldur’s Gate, the Sea Monster has not been in tip-top shape or ready to set sail to sea. But bless her heart, she weathers many a storm, and now not only is it that beautiful ship that leaves the island with reinforcement in spirit and…
Episode 32: The Mending of Stone
Prism has awoken. The stone has been mended. The girl no longer sleeps. The Fathers have kept her safe and brought her to health, atoning for lifetimes of confusion. With Prism now a functioning member of society, our heroes have a chance to get answers to questions that have plagued them since the Sunken City. But it would seem that with the actions of the Father, the Child is held accountable. Gaps and spaces in knowledge give our heroes a hodge-podge picture, however one that still conveys a direction. A…
Episode 31: What’s Your Strength Modifier? Oh Yea, It’s Friendship
After a rough and tough fight where the line between ally and enemy became blurred and confused, our Furious Fathers return to Hurnininininininininininin hoping to see the results of their labors. However, it would seem that fate made this plot-line a little more complicated than a simple hunt and destroy. Being met with another dead-end, direction comes in the form of a strange and benevolent ally through a vague medium. But this episode doesn’t happen solely within the confines of beaver territory; the Sea Monster awaits to hear the news…
Episode 30: The Sushi Don’t Fall Too Far From the Tree
Emboldened by the direction given by Hurnininininininin, our heroes are ready to set out first thing in the morning, right after they get Aereus out of a gelatinous cube. Sometimes, you attune to the magical items, and sometimes they attune to you. However, with their new companion, our Furious Fathers have more than enough help from the locals in order to find this mysterious and strange beast which Hurninininnininininininininin believes to be poisoning the sacred waters. It seems like a straightforward job; find the monster, kill it, and return to…
