The torture chamber has exploded in flame, and the crew now faces wave 2 of the quaggoth qreeps. There's the usual lackeys, another giant one, and now a floaty one with a staff. And uh, nobody has rested since the last wave. Some people definitely die this episode, but we can't promise whether they're NPCs or now. RIP Sarah's new monk??

Wow so the torture chamber really IS a place where people could lose a limb? Our mountainy crew cuts through a wave of quaggoth and takes a peek at a cage with what may be a surviving captive. Probably a friend. Probably no more waves of quaggoth. Probablies!

Welp, the ol' Dungeon Master made good on his promise to for this to be a deadly campaign. And now a cheery lil' torture room full of death bears! Okay let's stop being falsely optimistic for laffs, Dan has gone bonkers and we're all going to die. Please send help. *flares go up in the vast arctic sky as the boat sinks beneath an ice berg*

Our crew continues to engage in what is hopefully just a friendly game of drop-the-stone-scythe. So, time to wrap up this fight with the- undead demi-god? Or whatever? Juniper will probably be fine.

Oh an archfey. That's probably not that big a deal, just that thing that some people worship that cause trickery that undoes reality. And this is just a chill little negotiation where we give away some trayzure! Easy peasy.

New artifact! Giant ghost vanquished through persuasion! The crew is on a roll! So as long as the next thing they meet isn't, you know, omnipotent or something, they'll probably be fine. Oh right, a Total Party Kill is supposed to be possible this game. So it might be a god. Probably not though!

Haunted mountain stairwell ahoy! The giant behind them and a Glibbles in their pocket, our crew get to ascending stairs that aren't for touching. There is surely violence at the top, it sure would be nice if it was a chill use of common stairs, and not a series of horrors! Whoops, it's the horrors thing.

Sooooo this fight with a mutated giant and a pile of sentient viscera has been fun and all, but it feels like about time to get the hell out of here. Our heroes kinda wanted to sneak through, and they'd like to honor that intention by not dying. And how we enjoy being in person, because it leads to things like locking eyes with Blaine and preparing ourselves for more cat jokes.

As Pish Posh begins some very unpleasant business with the Flesh Meld and Glibbles sits in Juniper's pocket, it begins to seem as though Dan is more than willing to make good on his TPK threats. Hopefully everyone won't wipe on the first fight. Although that could also be fun!

It is time to traverse The Pillars of Despair Murder! The plan to jump from pillar to pillar unseen obviously fell apart long ago, but Glibbles the goblin is unafraid to lead the group anyway. Hammers will fall, and so will humanoids clinging for dear life.

It's time to head to the actual mountain! While the crew debates how to spell Mount Dukes, it becomes clear that yes indeed they picked the weirdest and hardest of the three paths.

Our heroes meet around Brian's table for the first time in almost 4 years! And some other heroes show up (the pencil and paper kind). There's two mountains, a dragon, and a nest. How will we rid this valley of the terrifying dragon menace? Only time will tell!

Our season finale is here! Dan attempts to tie a tidy little bow on five season's worth of narrative (hence the season-long boss fight). Crits connect, epic praise is heaped upon the surviving members of the Ice Five, an old friend returns, and Gus makes his pitch for becoming a demi-god. Thanks for listening, we hope to start new stories soon and invite in new listeners! Creating this world has been fun and the whole crew apprecia...

Oh riiiiight! We're not just in a crumbling tomb, but that tomb is in a weird pocket dimension, which is connected to the castle with a swirling vortex tether thing. Well you know what that means- it's balcony surfin' time! Maybe!
