S05E03: Some ragtag weirdos

In our 24th episode of News from the Breach we discuss chapter 5 & 6 of Book Ocean: “Archmage Akiyu” and “Bait and Switch”. We meet Tidebound Tina and some new creatures of the sea and sand. Our heroes have a map but get stood up by Zubeia - if only she’d listened to Dr. Soren. In Scumport we meet Finegrin and his assistant, and witness some pirate shenanigans from our very own crew.

We recorded during a storm so apologies for background noises in the
first few minutes. We hope you enjoy the episode!

Bloodbending and Blood Moon
Bloodbending is easier with full moon (like Waterbending) but
there is no mention of the influence of a blood moon in the Avatar
wiki, so Ceilidh thinks she made it up.
