The Warlock's Curse: An Epic D&D One-Shot on Mostly Superheroes

The Warlock's Curse: An Epic D&D One-Shot on Mostly Superheroes

This episode of the Mostly Superheroes podcast plunges listeners into a thrilling Dungeons & Dragons one-shot adventure titled "The Warlock's Curse," led by the esteemed Sam the DM. Hosts Logan Janis and Sam Zeller (also known as Sam the Sleeper), alongside Scotty Scoop, embark on a perilous journey as "The Fabulous Three." Logan Janis's character, Lorgan the Dragonborn Sorcerer, joins Sleeper the Elven Ranger, and Kilroy the Tiefling Warlock.

Their quest for a shortcut through the ominous Whispering Wood takes an unexpected turn when they stumble upon "The Withered Rose Inn." Inside, they encounter Helga, the innkeeper, who offers free lodging in exchange for dealing with a mysterious, unsettling guest. This stranger, Sir Reginald, is revealed to be afflicted by a Warlock's Curse, slowly transforming him into a "rabid platypus." The only hope for a cure lies in a basin of holy water at an ancient, ruined temple deeper in the woods.

The adventurers face immediate danger as zombies attack the inn, forcing them into a desperate battle. Lorgan the Sorcerer bravely engages with a Firebolt, and Kilroy's Warlock unleashes an Eldritch Blast. Amidst the chaos, Helga provides vital healing potions. The episode culminates in a tense moment as Lorgan the Sorcerer falls unconscious after being poisoned by an Imp, leaving the fate of the mission in the hands of Sleeper and Kilroy, with Sleeper using powerful, holy-water-boosted attacks to fight specters. And the Lorgan somehow pretty much saves the day!
