Dear listener, Last we left our group, they had entered a burrow, with creatures that had killed all but two of it's inhabitants. It had been revealed via Zlata's Grace that Aster may not be all he seems - and that maybe coming to haunt them now that someone is shooting at them. Now if one of them died this early, that would be a shame wouldn't it? I jest, surely? I guess you're about to find out. Our Amazing Sponsors: https://www...

Sully being Sully, is about to stumble into some familiar faces - not all of whom are friendly. Is approaching so boldy into a Collective a smart move? I guess you're about to find out.

Dear Listener, After meeting with the leader of Diableria, the travelers finally come face to face with Aster's friend Henri, or Seeker as he goes by now. Telling someone that there has been a passing is never an easy thing to do. But when the manner is so unusual, how will Seeker react? I guess you're about to find out. Hmmm. Seeker might have more information than he's letting on - oh my, it's quite unpleasant! I do hope he's st...

Dear Listener, Seeker comes bearing coffee and employment, although he is shut out of the room as Lark and Sully discuss a mutual friend. With dreams being dreams and there being a very physical threat of cult activity, the group instead turn to more practical matters as Seeker seeks to join them. Tangling with the cult, even briefly, equaled death for three, I wonder how investigating more directly will turn out? I guess you're ab...

Dear Listener, The new group started heading towards the witches coven at Diableria, stopping at the first gate to talk with Lilian. Lilian who knows of Aster, Seeker... and obviously Ralph. Seeker not only receives information, but also a protective rune from Lilian, before she makes her way towards the airport. She seems quite nice, Lilian I mean. Meeting old friends is always a strange feeling, especially when time has passed an...

Dear Listener, Long forgotten memories come to haunt the travelers as they set themselves up for the night. They end up watching shadows and talking until the sun comes up - covering everything from the wisdom of age, lost family and the instinct to run, but will their long night be detrimental to them as they have a long day's trek ahead? I guess you're about to find out. I find the dark strangely illuminating when it comes to on...

Dear Listener, Reeling after an awful situation, the remaining group members return to the scene of Seekers death to pass the night in relative safety before the long climb up the mountain.

Dear Listener, The witches of Gumpendorf prove most helpful: with respect to the light magic that they do know, and the knowledge of whom might be able to help them with the more eldritch, weirder kind of magic. With Lacy and Araminthia providing them two people with whom to potentially ask more questions of, I wonder if Sully will get this way about who they will go see? I guess you're about to find out.
