This week, the party finally returns to Highhelm—just in time to catch their breath before the family festival begins. With a day to spare, Krohan sets out to do some quiet information gathering, hoping to learn more about the festival’s guest list. When he returns, he brings word of four individuals who might prove useful in solving the party’s current... predicament. But not all news is good news—Krohan also warns of one guest th...
In Part 2 of our Chapter 2 Recap, the party takes a breath (finally) to reflect on the chaos of Guldrege. From favorite fights to funniest failures, emotional turning points to MVP-worthy moments, the group looks back on what changed, what scarred, and what still lingers in the minds of their characters. Expect revelations, inside jokes, and just enough foreshadowing to keep you guessing.
Join us this week as we dive into some of the most unforgettable moments from Chapter 2. From crumbling ruins to questionable deals, it’s all on the table. In Part 1, we get down and dirty revisiting the gritty chaos that defined the Guldrege arc.
This week, the party throws everything they’ve got into a final stand against the Stone Maker. Exhausted, bloodied, and out of options, they fight to keep Guldrege from falling any further. But will their strength be enough… or will they become just another stone in the ruins?
This week, the party presses deeper into the Xulgath encampment, continuing their full-scale assault. Their next target? The mysterious Stone Maker. And while the name alone sounds bad enough, given the party’s usual luck... it’s probably way worse than it sounds.
This week, the party strikes a deal with Tsaal—then immediately turns around and brokers another with a mimic. That’s two shady agreements in one dark hallway. What could possibly go wrong? With all this wheeling and dealing, it's only a matter of time before something explodes… probably metaphorically. Hopefully.
This week, the party leaps straight from a cockroach nightmare into the waiting arms—well, tentacles—of a pack of chokers. Fungie can feel his throat tightening just looking at them. From skittering shells to strangling shadows, Guldrege really isn’t letting up.
Man, Guldrege has been nothing but non-stop chaos—battle after battle with barely a moment to breathe. And now? Giant cockroaches. Seriously. Giant. Cockroaches. Just when the party thought things couldn’t get any worse… the city proves them wrong. Again.
This week, the party makes their first descent into the shadowy depths of Lower Guldrege. Fortunately, they’ve brought the stealthiest fungus this side of the Darklands—perfect for scouting ahead and sniffing out danger. With spores on the breeze and trouble around every corner, what could possibly go wrong?
This week, the party experiences something truly surreal—an out-of-body journey that reveals the grim fate of Guldrege from a whole new perspective. As ghostly memories flicker to life, one detail stands out: was that an Avernian Worm... speaking Dwarven?
This week, the party picks up mid-battle against a squad of relentless clockwork spies. But amidst the clash of gears and sparks, a strange ticking sound grows louder. Something’s counting down—and it’s not just the initiative order. Get ready… it’s gonna blow.
This week, the party continues their latest round of breaking and entering—but this home isn't going down without a fight. From walls that whisper to plants with a mean streak, even the greenery seems eager to kick them out. Some houses just don't like guests.
This week, the party’s back at it—breaking into homes and taking down the unfortunate souls inside. But this time, their usual chaos meets an unexpected defense: the terrifying power of hiding under the covers. Turns out, bedtime isn’t always safe.
This week, the party brushes themselves off after a rough scuffle in the ore silo—only to come face-to-face with a new nightmare: dolls. But not the kind your grandma used to collect. These ones are cracked, cursed, and carrying a whole lot of attitude.
This week, the party arrives in the mysterious city of Guldrege. First stop? An old, long-abandoned ore silo. Naturally, nothing says 'good decision' like climbing into a dark, dusty, enclosed space with no clear exits. What could possibly go wrong? Let’s just hope no one has trouble breathing in there…
This week, the party concludes their clash with the elusive Skibrellon. As they take a moment to recover and regroup, an unexpected lesson unfolds—revealing the very real difference between DMDs and MDs. Spoiler: only one of them is useful when you're bleeding out.
This week, the party finally corners Skibrellon—who may just be in the running for the worst host in the history of the Darklands. Then again, considering how the party's been treating his home, they might be equally deserving of the title worst guests. Tensions rise, spores fly, and manners are nowhere to be found.
This week, the battle rages on as the party delves deeper into the heart of a colossal mushroom. Amid the chaos, they come face to face with another Leshy—Skibrellon—whose sudden arrival might just shift the tide of combat. With spores swirling thick in the air and enemies closing in from all sides, the fight takes a decidedly fungal turn.
This week, the party remains trapped in the ever-revolving nightmare of the fungus-infested cavern. Every time they hack one moldy menace down, another sprouts in its place. It’s a losing battle against rot, spores, and sheer persistence. If only someone had thought to bring bleach—because as we all know, that stuff kills everything.
Ssshhh... wait—what is that sound? Oh no. Oh no. It’s a shrieker! Good thing the party brought their resident fungus expert, because things are about to get loud, chaotic, and very, very spore-y.

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.
