The ritual was interrupted. Whatever beings the group carries the influence of, they decided to try and reach out during the Luminous Procession’s alignment process. With such a drastic and dangerous disruption, the caravan leaders obviously want to talk. But they give everyone time to catch their breath. Which also gives them time to have a few conversations. Options are given, visions are drawn, and motives are uncovered. Join us and Nehemiah, Smalren and Jhori consider the ramifications.

This episode is going to take a slightly different format than most. This is something we did way back near the beginning of season one and thought it would be a good time to bring it back. We’re going to take a short moment with each character to get their inner thoughts and personal considerations on the things that have happened recently. So join us Nehemiah, Smalren, and Jhori reflect.

Anatrea’s answers have proven to be frustrating to say the least. It’s hard to tell someone they’re doing something wrong when it also seems they’ve done everything by the book, so to speak. However, her interest in the data sphere may yet open up new avenues of information. Connections are affirmed, feelings are expelled, and I told you so’s are uttered.

Facing off with the Bellowhearted experiment has left everyone off balance. With the promise of a more in depth conversation with Anatrea, everyone splits off to go their separate ways to deal with the thoughts swimming around in their heads. Heart to heart conversations are had, specific information id sought, and deep questions are asked. Join us and Nehemiah, Smalren and Jhori get some answers.

Assurances that the Bellowheart call was harmless within the walls of Castle Aventur were in fact too good to be true. But rather than a towering creature made of teeth and tendrils, everyone is instead confronted by something much more terrifying. Poison is administered, creative tactics are employed, and leaders are sternly addressed. Join us and Nehemiah, Smalren and Jhori encounter the Bellowhearted.

Once inside Castle Aventur, our adventurers and the caravan set to unloading supplies and looking around. The courtyard full of nanos, experiments, and equipment is the perfect place to do a little poking about. And as it turns out, this place is more than just a space for people to work. The stakes are in fact a bit higher. Offers are made, competition is uncovered, and disagreements are settled.

The call of a Bellowheart has put everyone on edge. But a few more hours on the road doesn’t do much to calm anyone’s nerves once the group realizes where the sound is coming from. Turns out they might be in for more than they bargained for in their stop at Castle Aventur. Calls are located, sandwiches are accepted, and curiosity is piqued. Join us and Nehemiah, Smalren and Jhori venture to Aventur.
