S5 E9: Dangerous Deluge

CW: If the sound of water or if flash flooding is triggering for you, please listen to this episode with caution or feel free to skip it entirely. We discussed the scenario above table for safety purposes, and want to make sure your listening experience is safe and enjoyable. 

Rushing water is heading toward the party and they’re trapped in a ravine. Trix spots an off-shoot trail leading out of the ravine and makes a desperate attempt to get to it, but the cart is stuck in the mud and the group is now trapped in a flooding ravine. Amara rides ahead toward the ravine’s exit and is able to get above the waterline, but the horse loses a shoe in the process. Rou climbs to the top of the cart to prevent being trapped inside. He tries to call out for Amara, who is nowhere in sight, but in the process slips and falls into the rushing water.

Trix tries to catch him with a lasso, but the water is moving too fast for their attempt to succeed. Rou is able to keep his head above water, and as he rushes out of the ravine Amara wades in and is able to grab him. Meanwhile, Trix does their best to distract Jimothy from the danger while they wait for help. Amara and Rou work together to forge their way through the oncoming water back to the cart. Amara casts a barrier spell to surround the cart and push the water away so that Trix can maneuver it safely out of the ravine. Once everyone is safely on higher ground Amara drops the barrier spell, ties the horse to the back of the cart and climbs inside.
