Part 8. Berry sorry for the delay, my dearest listeners... Be(e)hold, the penultimate episode! The Seed Vault is a mess, and so are its occupants (recent guests included). In awe and terror of the Imago's presence, the party attempts a daring escape with their new traveling companion and cargo--time to #LegIt4TheExit. Hog has an idea. Some survivors speak ill of the dead.  Neon Genesis Empress-gelion 8.0: Things Might (Not) Be OK.  

++ Plus: We have some hot mikes in the cold open and body of the episode--Trevor leaves his camera and mic on for too long... We have a bit of theory-crafting post-credits. We definitely recorded one of our sessions on an April 20th and this might have been it. Remember: Enjoy responsibly. 

This is an Actual Play mini-series that combines a hexcrawl and an adventure supplement. Hop on your Packsquab and explore the world of Cloud Empress with us! 

Content Warning: Sexually Suggestive Themes, Language; Fictional Violence, Giant Psychic Bugs; Male-Pattern Baldness (Trevor's).

CAST:
GM: the voice of the Escape Vector Podcast

Casper Cloudshot (Magician) is played by Trevor Brookes
Bek Fallows (Sellsword) is played by Kaitlyn Meloche Ratz
Hog Heartbreaker (Courier) is played by Dakota Burgin

Kaitlyn and Dakota are 2/3 of the Came To Play podcast, often about indie and cult favourite video games. Trevor Brookes is a recurring guest. They are so much fun! I love every episode.
