After getting some new information from various sources things in Plaguestone are looking... complicated. We commit the greatest RPG mistake there is by splitting the party, what could possibly go wrong?

Our investigation leads straight into the corrupted blight land whether we want it to or not. Things quickly go poorly as it seems everything in this area is murderous and terrible. We discover the wolf den, but does more lurk inside than just some caustic canis lupus?

We've discovered a corrupted water source that may finally lead us to the source of the mysterious blight. Will we be able to solve the mystery before we decide it's all too dangerous and doesn't really involve us and just leave to go be pirates? This remains to be seen.

We enter through a secret yet obvious door directly into a wild combat. For reasons that become obvious, we ponder the question of whether a stone horse poops rocks. Who knows how many plot hooks we miss as we blast our way deeper into the mystery of the blighted wood!

We encounter an educated orc who may or may not be a sadistic mad scientist. We may or may not unintentionally release his horrible monster which may or may not kill everyone including its creator.

We deal with the aftermath of the Sculptor/Blood Ooze fight. We're pretty stoked to just be alive, but we take the time to find additional clues to the Plaguestone mystery. Unfortunately none of us can read them. We head back to town for some much needed R&R before continuing the investigation.

With the help of the half-orc Temley we learn as much as we can from the Sculptor's paperwork. To thank her we may or may not coerce her into giving us magic items. From there we head out to mysterious Spite's Cradle, but what craziness may be lurking in the woods?

We traverse through the woods and end up at a big wooden palisade. From there everything becomes a bit of a faff as all involved are equally clueless.

After breaking down the palisade door nobody is quite sure if they want to fight or not. However, combat is pretty much a foregone conclusion and things get bloody fast.

In the aftermath of the orc den fight we take stock and heal up. We're approached by someone who claims to be the only remaining member of her tribe. After that's all sorted we find that we have to deal with some wind.

After exploring some more we find a kitchen with a nightmare of a different variety. Banter, deliberation, and smashing all ensue before we finally decide to go take a rest.

After finally taking the rest that Plum had so desperately desired we make our way back into Spite's Cradle. We find evidence of someone living there but they clearly don't seem to see us as much of a threat. Eventually we find some watery enemies and it's a good thing our adventurers wear more armor than a white t-shirt.

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
