Welcome to episode 1 of Mind's Eye! In the prologue, our two new characters are introduced and imprisoned as the previous group are on their way to free them (previous games not recorded).

“Welcome to Drakhaven! The century city which has been free from all dragons! We have major festivities planned in the square, we wish to see you there.” - Mayor Goth

Arriving in Braedon, our group takes some time to regather themselves by resting and upgrading their armor. Feeling down after failing to capture Nezznard, as well as noticing one of his minions looking like Kidd's brother, Valk, they have no choice but to continue moving now that death is on their doorstep. Reaching Schleem, they report to the library to get some more information on what they've been dealing with. Handing the black orb they stole from the Black Spider over to the head librarian, an old dwarf, he shows them another orb they have collected from another group centuries ago. Hearing that there are 2 more orbs in the land of Talsorim, our group decide to track down the rest, starting in a hidden island known as Dath Gilad, far west from their current location next to the lands of the elves. Joined by a new partner, Angel, a seemingly undead man tracking down the chaos that the orbs bring, they prepare themselves as they continue their quest. Welcome back to the finale of DRAUMR - Chapter 1!

Returning back to Phandalin, the gang decide to head to Bordon, the next city on the path to Schleem. Hoping to learn more from the library, they are also given Lords of the Alliance medallions in their quest to rid the Black Spider and his minions. On the way, they run into a beast that they hope to not show up again… Welcome back to episode 25 of DRAUMR - How Do Y'all Feel Bout Ogres?

Finally arriving at the doorstep of Nezznar: the Black Spider, our group prepare themselves as they head into battle. With two humanoid creatures protecting the drow, the Leftovers charge towards the altar. Heads banging due to the power of the black orb, they are destined to kill the man that has been tracking them since the beginning of their story. Welcome back to episode 24 of DRAUMR - The Leftovers vs Nezznar!

Following the paths of the endless cave tunnels, the Leftovers end up on an embankment as Kid lights a nearby brazier. Within seconds, a group of ghouls invade the carved out stone stairs, intent on devouring what they may. With they make it out and come upon the mysteries of the Black Spider? Find out now in episode 23 of DRAUMR - Pizza $hits!

Calling the wraith with his beautiful bird cry, Moony turns around to see Mormesk teleport into the Spectator's old forge as Kid gets ready to turn the undead away from the necrotic brazier. Able to get their previous items back from the stomach of the wraith, the group continue as they get closer to the headbanging waves of the echoing cave. What will they fight this time? More bugbears and skeletons? Maybe another drow-esque creature? Find out now in episode 22 of DRAUMR - Flameskull!

Clearing through a group of skeleton Dwarf miners, our group end up running into another undead-like being - a wraith known as Mormesk. A once human mage, Mormesk has transformed into a faded, ghostly creature with his prized possessions hidden inside his incorporeal torso. Wanting to also learn more about the magic of the cave, he sends the group of 4 up to the forge of the mine where a darkened green brazier lights the ruins. Is Mormesk willing to help them out, or is he instead sending them to the guardian of the mine? Probably the second one, but find out now in episode 21 of DRAUMR - The Book of Mormesk!

After signing their names to the dwarf brother's contract, our group decide to head straight to the legendary mine - the Wave-Echo cave. Before heading down a steep drop into the maze of tunnels, Moony sensed a great darkness in the air of the cave. Clearing up the skeletons of the past, they continue moving as the waves boom throughout their body. Could it be the Black Spider himself, or maybe just a bad contracting job? Find out now in episode 20 of DRAUMR - Thunderclap These Cheeks!

Waking up the unconscious dwarf, the group realizes it is the brother of Gundren who they had been looking for. Hearing from the dwarf, they learn that the Black Spider has been holed up in a mystical mine to the south of Phandalin. Cleaning up the rest of the goblins in the Kragmaw Castle, they begin their final(?) quest to rid the void of the Black Spider. Welcome back to episode 19 of DRAUMR - Kingslayers!

Pushing away a tattered rag, the Leftovers enter into a hidden carved out path in the north side of Cragmaw Castle. Checking out the various paths the goblins have created, they take out a hobgoblins before being locked behind a door with two people arguing. Casting bonfire in order to break down the door, Kid broke through with the gang as they saw a large goblin, his pet wolf, a female drow, and an unconscious dwarf lying in the corner. Did we find the boss room a little too early? Find out now in episode 18 of DRAUMR - King Grol & The Cragmaws!

Returning back to Reidoth's hut after barely avoiding defeat from Venomfang, the young green dragon protecting the ruined tower of Thundertree, Kid and Archie return to their vessels. The kid in his lamp, and Archie in a fort of blankets. As they begin their rest, Trogg spends his time performing while Moony and Reidoth enter the forest in order to teach our firbolg the mysteries behind the spirits. Entering into an ethereal-like realm, our druid is able to peer through the sky, lighting up any creature that he is able to visualize. Seeing his group in a white light, he is also able to visualize the zombies that were created from the volcano explosion decades prior in a shadow form, as well as a void of nothingness towards the town of Phandalin. With rest, the group departs after a day towards the hopeful castle of Cragmaw with hopes to rescue the brother of Gundren as well as learn more about the hidden mine and the void surrounding it.

Arriving inside a hut in Thundertree after watching a squirrel enter inside, Moony comes face to face with the traveling druid, Reidoth. The old man offers to teach our firbolg about the spectral beings, but only if the Leftovers clean out a ruined tower to the north.

Exiting Agatha's house in the ruined village of Coneyberry, The Kid gets a big hug from Moony as he shows Archie and Trogg where Cragmaw Castle is on his map. With another step closer to rescuing Declan's brother from the goblins, our group decide to make one last stop at Thundertree before heading south. Moony believes that an ancient druid lives there after hearing from Carp Alderleaf's mother while having breakfast at the halfing's farmhouse. Could this druid teach our sweaty giant how to dispel the spirits in his forest? Find out now as the Leftovers make their trek to the lost city of Thundertree in episode 15 of DRAUMR - Hermit and the Recluse!

Clearing into the forests to the north after setting the Redbrand's tavern on fire, the Leftovers began their quest to communicate with Agatha.

Encountering a few flying terrors on their trek, they eventually reach the dilapidated huts as the cold shivers into the night. Welcome back to episode 14 of DRAUMR - Agatha or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Banshee!

Returning back to the Town Master's Hall after defeating hordes of skeletons, goblins, and Redbrand Raiders, the group takes a rest while deciding where to go next.

Getting more news about Gorail's sidequest with a banshee, the Leftovers finish up the day by shopping at the local merchant shop. Welcome back to episode 13 of DRAUMR - Moony & The Mask!

Entering into the dark cavern after taking out a few skeletons and Redbrand Ruffians, the gang slowly hears voices creeping into their heads. Wanting to leave as soon as possible, they enter into a western door, leading straight to another group of Ruffians. Able to take them out, one Ruffian is almost able to escape until Archie takes him out with an arrow. However, they aren't alone as massive beasts start breaking down doors, rushing towards the Leftovers as Moony the dire wolf investigates the voice that won't stop cackling in his head... Welcome back to DRAUMR - Episode 12, Druig (We Hardly Knew Ya)!

Entering into a seemingly abandoned building, the Leftovers end up running into a group of Redbrands Ruffians next to an eerily-cold cistern. Taking the two out, the group continues moving through a series of doors until Archie spots 3 figures in a room filled with tombs. Jumping across a hidden hole after the ground crumbled underneath, they continue moving. Taking out the 3 figures - a group of skeletons - as well as a few more ruffians, the group discover a family of prisoners that the Redbrands had taken a few days ago. In a mission to rid the rest of the ruffians, Kid enters into a cave carved into the building as he begins to hear a voice talking directly to him. Welcome back to episode 11 of DRAUMR - Oh No...

In the eerily quiet setting of Mébira, two adventurers approach together, though not for the same reason. Angel, a man overcome with the sense of right and wrong, and Yoski, a lizardfolk traveling from an unknown kingdom nested between the cities of Tandria and Rocord. With a gut feeling (and an earthquake), Angel feels as though something has cursed Mébira, while Yoski plans to meet with a penpal in order to receive an item that may solve his issues. In a one shot by Andrew Akers, be careful when approaching the village, the wolves have arrived. (Angel - T.J., Yoski - Derek)

After exiting the inn, Trogg, Kid, and Archie started down the path towards the town master's hall, when they are suddenly stopped by a group of red cloaked bandits looking for a fight. In the meantime, Moony entered a farmhouse, guided along by a young halfling in order to get the firbolg some breakfast. Introducing himself to the halfling's mother, he learns that there is an older druid that hides in the forests nearby, one that may help him heal his village.

Cleaving through Klarg's head, the Leftovers return back to Ymeek to show the goblin that he is last remaining. Throwing the older human, Sildar, at the group, the goblin departed the cave, departing before anyone could get an attack on him. Returning back to Declan, they gathered the extra barrels from Klarg's hideout and traveled further north to Phandalin. They now find themselves in the middle of town in a search for the secret goblin castle, Kragmaw in order to rescue Declan's brother, Gundren Thundertree. Welcome back to DRAUMR as we start a whole lotta side quests in episode 9 - Lionhearted!

After a long day checking out the town of Stillwell, our crew gathers in the basement of Chugs along with the keeper of the tavern, the half-elf Yannis.

Returning from the trapdoor (without the fleeting mage), Kid and Archie interrogate the 3 remaining thieves that were tied up by Trogg and Moony. Unable to get any specific information or location of their whereabouts, the gang finished the group and left a note at the local guard's quarters to let them know that they "found" the lonely shack ablaze on their travels back to Qusa. Thankfully after returning back to the Red Herring, Samuel the bartender was more willing to give Kid an idea of where to head in order to find his brother, Valk'ithra. Gaining access to a ship, we now head towards Schleem, a city in the north-west of the Empire in episode 6 of DRAUMR - What's in the Box!

After investigating the angry round man's room, our group decide to split up in order to find the perhaps “Frederick” a bit faster.

In the land of Hadria, there is a lonely facility near the Academy of War Magic. Typically referred to as "The Tower", its insides are hidden by anyone not of the royal army. There are rumors that the citizens toss around, however it is nothing close to what actually occurs.
