Ep 24 - A Flower in the Desert

The adventure of the ancient tomb is now a fading memory as the Heroes of Arden return to the road to Jama. But first they must leave the canyons of this confusing place. Join them in the failing light as they press on toward the first of the Jewels of Edelenn.

In this episode we discuss the players' views on our use of the Unearthed Arcana three pillar experience. If you want to read about this alternate means of running XP in detail, check it out at http://media.wizards.com/2017/dnd/downloads/UA-ThreePillarXP.pdf.

We also reference a clip of a chilling sound from the 1962 David Lean classic, Lawrence of Arabia. You can see it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZOupbP3v_E&t=1m46s. For maximum effect, make sure your volume is nice and loud!
