D,D Podcast

First, it's Riddlin' Time! Subsequently, gooshin' occurs. Thanks to @Musicbox42 for riddling with us on Twitter; hope you like the shirt we sent you! Creosote and Anne Champrose drop a lot of French in this episode. And they do not ask for nor receive pardons for it.

What happens when all the PCs pass out? Tupak happens, is what. Everyone gets a performance review from the deities they've claimed--or the deities that claim THEM. Then, they have to figure a way out of Tupak's ultimatum. The clues are on Twitter for anyone to follow!

Climactic confrontation! Thrilling cross-referencing of rulebooks! Math! It is everything you have come to expect from D&D--and D,D Podcast--rolled into a short little 1.5-hour package!

The party squabbles, which is not unusual. Then they get answers, which is! There is much made of invisibility, and little made of the mysteries DM Matthew worked so hard to weave beneath Diddly's Inn. Disclaimer: any deviation from French accents are just an authentic representation of Merovan accents. Because it's all pretend!

...is the Gulthias Tree! Because of that song? From the movie/musical? And they're evil blood-drinking plants? You get it. Emen Neme's title suggestion was "Chlorofiend", which is better. But, Johnny schools her on how to be a paladin, so what does she know? Lots. Also, everyone demonstrates their knowledge of a certain Motown classic.

The theme of today's episode is true facts. We claim many things are; with varying degrees of sincerity. If you want to learn about Egyptian pet mourning, tango's effect on the lumbar region, or the Wiggles, this is the episode for you. Also, blights are a lot easier to defeat when you're level 3. Just saying.

I mean, the title is pretty self-explanatory. We learn a lot about why DM Matthew picked such a hard-to-remember name as Karrell Boyin. Everyone gets off-track between play sessions, but we think we're pretty funny. Squirrel beer.

Karrell turns out to be a bit of a man-bear-pig; and all jerk. Sophie learns how hard it is to rage and run. Mason learns it's even harder to keep up with her. Benadyl learns that sometimes the party must split. Level-headed Emen shows some fire. Johnny takes a bear of a risk.

Last chance to figure out the Mystery of the Levers before the gang does! Spoiler alert: it involves a lot of Mason running around. Thrill to the extended bit where the group inventories their treasure! Chill as they pay Richard--in copper pieces! Spill? as they...ignore a blue glow? Summaries are hard sometimes.

For the first time in a while, DM Matthew manages to remind everyone their characters are mortal, and should fear death. And for the umpteenth time, he reminds them of the rules--how spells can be cast at different slot levels, etc. I don't want to spoil everything in the blurb, but leather maid outfits feature strongly in this episode.
