Heroes Rise two hundred and thirty-seventh entry: Journey of the Radiant Cynical

Welcome, brave adventurers, to Heroes Rise. This is the 237th entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday April 1st 2023 (that’s not a joke), and released Wednesday April 5th 2023 over at heroesrisepodcast.com.

This week we’re going to wander into the Market of Minauros to see what mysterious and magical items have filtered up for sale.  

Next we check out some D&D News, as we take a look at everything that came out of D&D Direct 2023

After that we’ll take a Short Rest and head into the Archives of Candlekeep and learn how to troll; before finally heading into the Scrying Pool to see what you [all] have to say.

Our adventure has now ended, and we've hung up our robe and wizard hats to enjoy our retirement on the Sword Coast, running a tavern where a fresh band of adventurers may meet and start quests of their own. We're still around on Discord, and you should come and join the Heroes Rise community at http://discord.heroesrisepodcast.com
