They've secured new powers in their fight against the first and had some major developments in the process. One of those is a shocking revelation Violexx is happy to share.

February 09, 2022 15:14 - 38 minutes - 87.9 MBSo the party has finally found Deverick! Awesome! Who's Deverick again? Were they even looking for him? Violexx talked about him real quick that one time with her mom right? Honestly, we were too distracted by her mom being awful. Well anyway, he's obviously important to Violexx so what a pleasant surprise for everyone! Now let's see if they can actually save him. That may be a tall order considering they just entered a room full of genetically altered draconians, and all the main baddies ar...

July 28, 2021 17:29 - 35 minutes - 81.8 MBOur adventurers' plan to save a Chosen prisoner has come down to a brawl, and things are heating up on the battlefield! It could be because of the brawny and mysterious enemies stripping out of the bandages wrapped around their bodies, revealing wings, scaled muscles and testosterone fueled powers. Or maybe those powers are from the draconic heritage they all seem to share. But one thing is clear, these buff and tough bruisers are built! Super hot! Events getting heated might also have t...
Episode 104- Eat It Kyle I Love You
July 14, 2021 14:33 - 40 minutes - 93.2 MBIt's time to rescue one of the Chosen! And it just so happens that the Chosen prisoner is also Blag's sister, so the stakes are extra high for the party!

October 21, 2020 14:39 - 42 minutes - 97.8 MBIt's a Giant Combat Tournament! No not a giant tournament like a real big tournament, even though it is that. A giant tournament like the combatants are giants. Literal giants, not just big people. Except for our party of adventurers of course. They're not giants. But they do have giant personalities. Yeah, this is getting confusing. What's important here is Nock and Violexx were watching the tournament and made an off-hand comment about competing. The giant king, king of the giants not just...

Episode 82- Little Gnome Fact
September 09, 2020 13:21 - 39 minutes - 18.2 MBHere at the Episode Description Department, we pride ourselves on our ability to, well, describe things. Specifically, events within an episode. This one has us stumped though, as we find ourselves confronted with something we've never seen before. It is so mind-boggling that attempts at description elude us. For in this episode, the players mostly talk to one another in character. And they do it a lot. We haven't done the math, but it feels like they talk to each other in character more t...
