CritQuest

Our heroes have earned a little break after their last big adventure! What better way than reuniting with old friends, meeting some new ones, and making their beleaguered DM regret ever giving them access to magical items.

This is it folks, the villain has been revealed and the fate of Eilistraee’s Promise hangs in the balance! Can our heroes band together in the town's time of need or will Detrust's search through the desert be all for naught? Find out this week on CritQuest!

There's loose ends to tie up, goodbyes to be said, rewards to be received, and maybe a little canoodling for our heroes in this one. The party ends their time in Eilistraee's Promise and take a step towards their next adventure in today's (very moth-heavy) episode of CritQuest.

The mystery is nearly at its end! Everyone likes a parlour scene, right? Our heroes have some intense conversations and make some unsettling revelations as everyone who's anyone converges at the temple on today's episode of CritQuest.

An empathetic ear provided by Keegan Tealeaf and Morsten meeting a new, many legged player in the mystery they've all become entangled in.

A midnight bunk bed standoff leads to another mystery to solve. A sense of urgency instilled in them, our heroes gear up and get ready to look for leads, while one of them delivers bad news.

In today’s episode of CritQuest, our heroes work on improving their relationships with the local NPCs through feats of subterfuge, sleepover seduction and putting both themselves and others in unnecessary risk.

There comes a time in every Dungeons and Dragons campaign where players start shipping someone with an NPC. I'm not saying that happens today, I'm just saying that Keegan tells Detrust to spank someone with a sword. Now grab your shroompops and goodberries and get ready for a fight on this week's episode of CritQuest!

What's an episode of CritQuest without pyrotechnics, weird fungus monsters, flying hamburgers and lung infections? Lung infections are fun, right? Find out on this week's episode!

Keegan tucks in a gnome and Tealeaf meets a couple weird old people before Detrust and Morsten make a fiery return to Eilistraee’s Promise. Strap in for intrigue, explosions and… uh… sandals on today’s episode of CritQuest!

We're finally back with a very special Morsten and Detrust exclusive episode. As Keegan and Tealeaf leave to do their own things, something strange happens in the Halflight Haven and the lads learn new information about an old enemy. With the party at half strength and their weapons gone, we'll see how the boys do on their own.

A figure appears out of thin air to greet the party in the middle of a supposedly empty desert, issuing a warning and offering a trial. Our heroes will have to be on their best behaviour in this new chapter of CritQuest!

Welp, this is what happens when Tommy names episodes. Moving along... Our heroes learn more about their (tentative) new ally, observe some local wildlife and make an interesting discovery on today's episode of CritQuest.

Our heroes have returned to Watershearth and basked in their victory long enough. It's time to set out on a new adventure and Detrust has the key. Campfood, plant foes, and new faces await the intrepid adventurers out on the sands of the Dry Sea. Ever wondered what Elk sound like? You'll be downright tired of them by the end of this episode.

Our heroes return to Watershearth and contemplate their latest quest as well as seeking out a new one in today's episode of CritQuest. Spoils are investigated and reunions are plentiful, though some may not be as pleasant as others. Detrust contemplates a difficult decision, Morsten mourns, Tealeaf (unsurprisingly) sneaks and Keegan makes an aquatic friend.

What was the voice they heard in the Lazuli Cage's final chamber? What will the fate of Watershearth be? How will they eliminate the Tosculi threat? Just how many ways can they fluster their DM with unexpected actions? The answers to these questions and more are in today's episode of CritQuest!

Giggles! Grief! Triumph! There's a lot to process on today's episode. Tealeaf sulks and strikes, Detrust makes a show of strength, Keegan gets tiny and tough, and Morsten makes some dark decisions. Hope everyone likes excessive foley work, because Chris got a bit carried away in this one.

Pits, pratfalls, puzzles, and a potential payoff perplex our persistent players on today's episode of CritQuest!

On this week's episode of CritQuest our heroes do a bit of backtracking to explore the Lazuli Cage. Morsten swings a snake, Tealeaf gets busy prying, Keegan gambles with arrows and Detrust gets, just, a bunch of stuff stuck to his face.

Earth! Fire! Water! Goop! These, puzzles, pests, and more await our adventurers on today's episode of CritQuest.

The Tosculi have come to confront our heroes face to face and the fate of Watershearth hangs in the balance! A change of scenery brings new challenges and dangers! Chris stretches those DM brain muscles as he tries to keep hold of a puzzle! Today's episode truly has it all.

New faces and revelations await our heroes in Watershearth on today's episode of CritQuest. Tealeaf haggles, Morsten won't stop playing dress-up, Detrust gets closer to his goal and Keegan gets on the floor and talks to a dinosaur.

There are crits both good and bad aplenty in today's episode of CritQuest. Our heroes face off on the desert sands and make an important decision about the next step of their adventure. Keegan takes control of the elements, Tealeaf ransacks, Detrust gets as good as he gives and Morsten... well, Morsten makes some decisions that he may regret.

The new year brings a new chapter in our story as our heroes start their latest adventure. What new creatures, conflicts, costumes and conundrums will Keegan, Detrust, Morsten and Tealeaf encounter on the Dry Sea? Or, more importantly, will they even get there?

Our heroes come face to face with some new foes in today's episode of CritQuest. Morsten gets nautical and Keegan gets primal while Detrust and Tealeaf focus on teambuilding experiences.

Alternately titled Everyone is Covered in Knives Now, Chris How Could You Let This Happen. Our heroes have returned to their makeshift home of Cauldron to spend their well earned money and maybe progress the plot a little. Morsten makes some new friends, Detrust bonds with his blade, Tealeaf buys every shuriken ever made and Keegan is a tree now.

It's time to get paid, say their goodbyes, and head off into the sunset for our heroes in the final episode of Shadows in the Sun. But first, what could their newfound enemy's plan be? There's only one way to find out...

Things are topsy turvy in today's boss-battle oriented episode. Morsten vows revenge, Detrust gets supportive, Keegan is shooting vines all over the dang place and Tealeaf plays the hero.

This week's episode starts off with a bang as our heroes try to figure out what Frederic's plan is. Morsten's a magical boy of many faces, Detrust starts opening up, Keegan's inner otaku comes out and Tealeaf BECOMES INVISIBLE!?

A run down shack is a little old place where you can get together to fight some monsters in this week's episode of Critquest, where corks pop, jars fly, and ones are all over the friggin' place. Morsten and Keegan get inventive while Detrust gets violent and Tealeaf adds to her ever increasing inventory.

Our heroes set out with their charges as their escort mission begins! Tealeaf eavesdrops, Detrust falls behind, Morsten makes a fancy lad and Keegan creeps about.

Our heroes meet some new faces (and the body count rises) as their mission comes closer and closer. Tealeaf's persuasive, Keegan's inquisitive, Detrust gets a momentary twin and Morsten is handing out sharp objects like they're candy.

The back-alley brawl continues! Where'd that Duergar go? Will Darkmantle reappear? Is it possible to non-lethally shoot green lightening at people!? (No, no it isn't) Detrust doles out scritches, Keegan lays the bitedown, Tealeaf practices her acrobatics, and Morsten... well... he makes some questionable decisions.  

We return to our regular format this week with some vigilante action. Keegan tests out those many many druidic legs, Detrust exercises caution, Tealeaf gets richer, Morsten makes more heroes than friends, and Chris learns an extremely valuable lesson about character voices.  

We interrupt your regular programming to apologize for interrupting your regular programming. Since we couldn't all get together to make an episode for this week, have a listen to what things were like before the podcast even began, when our heroes were in their creative infancy. We talk backgrounds, alignment, and Chris gives a little summary of Sunland.  

A new chapter begins as our heroes find themselves travelling to the Human capital of Dawnscrest. Detrust meets an interesting peer, Keegan bugs out, Morsten finally meets someone who's nice to him, and Tealeaf keeps on sneakin' on.  

Our heroes are about to face their fiercest foe yet: CHARACTER INTERACTIONS. Detrust seeks out information, Tealeaf takes a challenge, Keegan wrangles eggs, and Tommy and Chris both forget what buttermilk is.

Our heroes are almost done their first job! They survived their first go in the Kobolds' cave, how will they do in round two? One thing's for sure: everyone will be mean to Morsten.

On our sophomore episode, our heroes see a bit more action, though not necessarily all together. Keegan gets toady, Tealeaf gets sneaky, Detrust gets grumpy and Morsten gets bullied.

Meet our heroes Detrust (Javier), Keegan (Emma), Morsten (Tommy) and Tealeaf (Ainsley) as they meet around the tabletop and take their first job together in the continent of Sunland on our debut episode. There'll be jokes and magic and fights and minimal complications (we'll see about that last part). Get ready for some Dungeons and Dragons, everybody.
