A knock at the door. Blood on the ground. A scrap of an antler. A strange voice in Kipa’s head. What does it all mean? Where is Icarus and Minnow? How can our party do what needs to be done with the telescope without their guidance? These questions and more race through our heroes minds as they find themselves corned at the Labyrinth by the Lord’s Alliance. But help comes in strange ways, from strange friends. Armed with the allies of a new alliance, our heroes find themselves in a…
Episode 19: The Boys are Back in Town (Boys are Back in Town) (Towwnnnnn towwnnnnn!)
Quiet. Too quiet. The town of Neverwinter, the bustling metropolis which our heroes first arrived at earlier, is as silent as Jake’s backstory. The streets, usually riddled with peddlers and citizens, are empty, and a sheer wind blows eerily through the stones. Something is wrong, and It doesn’t take Slal’s critical eye to see it. With this palpable danger, our heroes must find Icarus to get next steps regarding the Sword of the Seven Seas, wading through thick quiet and deafening emptiness in Neverwinter. But what is lying in wait?…

Episode 17: With Friends Like These…
Following the harrowing experience with the Winsome Cutlass, Sieghart is shooketh, and he is not alone. He is so shooketh, that he shares a portion of his backstory with the crew of the Sea Monster to explain his connection with the phantom ship that did a drive-by in the previous episode.

Aboard the Sea Monster, Captain Fal’kjun is met with mutinous crew members who don’t have as supportive a view of our Hero’s quest as Fal’kjun…

Falling. Everything is falling. Death has been welcomed unto the islands, and the islands respond in kind. Our party is in grave danger, having no way down to the Sea Monster in a safe manner. But all is not lost, and the party is not alone. In addition to having height issues, the party has retrieved the Sword of the Seven Seas, and with new wealth, comes new dangers. The Sword is an old artifact with friends in both high and low places, and maybe some are closer than they…
Episode 15: Who Ordered the Monster Caeser Salad with Thousand Islands Dressing and Extra Pain on the Side?
They found it; the Sword of the Seven Seas. All was strung as tight as a bow-string, and as Kipa pulled the engraved blade from the cursed ground, hell broke loose. Lark, the King of Sky Island, warned the party that there was something bad guarding the sword, but it wasn’t until the blade was pulled free that the goop hit the wind-fan. Not one, but two cursed bears made of stone and vine were raised from the cursed flora to meet our heroes in battle over the deadly oceanic…
Episode 14: The King of Sky Island Will See You Now
The boys are reaching new heights, as they almost come crashing down. The flora has proven to be not only dangerous, but mysterious, with some strange goop that even Gwyneth Paltrow would be disgusted by. However, our party comes face to face with some original and not so violent inhabitants of the islands, who seem to be in just as dire of a bind as Sieghart, Aereus and Kipa. Will our boys have the resources, wherewithal, and knowledge of Nintendo history to not only help Sky Island royalty, but also…
Episode 13: The Viner Things in Life Require a Sense of the D’Vine
Following a trail leading to the Sword of the Seven Seas, our boys find themselves hundreds of feet above the ocean in the midst of a flock of Floating Isles, faced with skeletons seemingly animated by vines.

But what happened on these mysterious…
Episode 12: Have You Ever Seen An Elephant Fly? No, But Is That a Floating Island Up There?
Our boys have arrived at the location Captain Fal’kjun saw in the telescope, but it seems that the destination was not on land but above it! Floating isles in the middle of the sea; this was not what anyone was expecting. How can the crew of the Sea Monster even reach such high altitudes? Well fear not dear listener, for you have never heard or experienced a crew like that of the Sea Monster! With a few tricks up their sleeves (and a lot of luck), our boys have all…
Episode 11: On the Road to Adventure, the First Steps Begin Eleven Episodes In
With a heading, our boys make sail from Neverwinter port. Having made somewhat of an explicit departure, it seems that their absence won’t go unnoticed, especially after Sieghart’s surprise return. Also, Kipa may have sent a few ripples through the local police force, having dispatched a particular despicable racist zealot after said zealot had accosted Aereus. Luckily, the crew of the Sea Monster are not unfamiliar with hasty get-aways. With a strange and mysterious destination in mind, our boys and crew spend a few days of leisure, enjoying the brief…
