The Horizon Walkers finally face the Tearfall.

The Horizon Walkers finally face the Tearfall.

Confronted with their slave status on the Elemental Plane of Fire the Horizon Walkers decide to settle it once and for all with the very Efreeti who has been hunting them since their sentence was received so long ago. With the Tearfall looming just on the horizon of Ravens Bluff they'll need to make quick work of it. An episode full of revenge, prayer, and unexpected developments.

The Horizon Walkers return home to a devastated Ravens Bluff to face the Tearfall. It's not the homecoming they had hoped for and it would seem the ritual has progressed quickly in their absence. They need to collect the Elemental Stone of Fire they left in Thundershout's care, if they can find him.

After defeating the White Wyrm the Horizon Walkers have more hope of their abilities to face a dragon but little time to face the Tearfall. They make the best use of what time they have left by preparing their bodies, minds, and inventory. And then the time comes. It's now or never.

With the Tearful looming and time running out The Horizon Walkers can't move on without finding out what happened to their dear friend and Izax' Apprentice, Mallory. In this episode they find themselves face-to-face with her captor.

Back on the Material Plane the Horizon Walkers are determined to interrogate any remaining members of the cult to acquire more insight into the Tearfall. Even with a cataclysm looming they still have their hearts set on finding Mallory and with only two days time before the Tearfall, they are going to have to be quick.

The Horizon Walkers are running out of time quickly, and they don't know what is going on back home, or even if they're already too late. Arwyl, Kallista, and Guy plead with the Council of Dragons to send help to the Material Plane while Patches and Adelaide try to run a simple errand without getting into too much trouble.

The Horizon Walkers finally get to the Capital City of the Elemental Plane of Air, Borealis. They are nervous about the passage of time on the Material Plane so they need to be quick about seeking council. To get everything done it may finally be time to split the party.

After proving themselves in the Citadel of Ice and Steel our heroes are given a smaller task by the Prince. They'll have to deliver one more letter, and for doing so they are promised powerful friends and great rewards. But the temptation of meeting more denizens from the Elemental Plane of Air proves too much of a temptation for the Horizon Walkers.

Our heroes are confronted by the champions from the Citadel of Ice and Steel. They'll need to prove themselves to this community of battle-hardened warriors to gain audience and favor with their Prince. A series of one-on-one battles tests each of the Horizon Walkers as an individual, a combatant, and a strategist. But the fights won't be so easily won.

Arwyl awakens from a strange dream and the group decides to attempt to decipher the encryptic symbols it was riddled with. They remember Yenba mentioning a Star Gazer that lived near him who specialized in prophecies. On their way to deliver Yenba's letter the gang decides to make a pit stop and get some insight into their dreams and destinies.

After disrupting a delicate ritual the Horizon Walkers stay true to their name and open a portal in the sky that reverses gravity and spits them out in another realm. They’ll have to face the consequences of their actions, learn to navigate this new realm, and try not to get killed - all while free falling through the sky.

Our heroes quickly realize they may have approached the strange storm a little too aggressively, now they'll need to survive the ritual and its guardians.

After successfully sneaking into the Monastery our heroes quickly realize that it will be an even harder task fitting in. Solving the mystery of Mother Synilla's strange wounds and keeping a low profile will be a difficult task. But the gang is determined to find answers, even if it means breaking a few rules.

After a brutal encounter with hunting Yetis the gang decides to push forward, leaving Maarika's cave far behind them. They are soon met with another challenge though, the last the Tundra has to offer. They need to prove to a crazed hermit that they possess the qualities to save the land from this raging storm. If they can he guarantees them entry into The Monastery of the Yellow Rose, with disguises to boot.

The Glacier of the White Worm seems to stretch out and go on forever. Even with a bit of repreive the gang finds themselves being frozen solid. The snow bears down, teh temperatures slow their blood, and the howling of the wind is relentless. But it's not only the wind that's howling.

This Tundra takes no prisoners, but it seems as though our heroes have already weathered its worst. After struggling to find the edge of the TUndra, as the Frost Giants suggested, it would seem as though they have come to the foot of a cave in the mountains. But what awaits them inside is far from what they expected.

After proving themselves to their new employer our heroes head out into the unforgiving Tundra known as The Glacier of the White Worm. With FrogMarch as their guide their chances of success are greater, but the storm raging in this unforgiving wilderness is relentless and constantly threatening their lives. The few inhabitants of the glacier aren't any more welcoming.

The heroes saved some unfortunate adventurers from their old goblin friends and get a chance to speak with them on their shared journey toward Mulmaster. A strange monk awaits them and takes them to a meeting with a friend of their Patron. After striking a deal shit really hits the fan.

Our heroes find themselves in the secret exit for the COuncil of Lords yet again. With Yinatazassus left to destroy the city they are forced to push forward and move to the North in seek of more answers. Time is growing short, but they desperately need a rest. They have time to talk about their journey so far for a brief break before being dangerously interrupted by some familiar faces they didn't expect to see again.

Face-to-face with their greatest adversary the Fans of Flame will have to put everything on the line. Will they fight or run? With one party member already fallen and a panicked audience, it won't be an easy decision to make. The stakes have never been higher and Yinatazassus, the Ancient Green Dragon, doesn't plan on talking it out.

In a desperate attempt to grab the attention of all Nobles attending the Gala, Patches decides to keep the dagger in his stomach for all to see, but he'll have to make it to the ballroom alive to succeed. With a devil at their back and its minions on their heels, the party is going to need to use all their tricks to pull this one off.

The gang has made their way into the exclusive Gala and it is more incredible than they could have ever imagined. They'll have to bide their time and wait for their chance to confront Lander and hopefully change the minds of an important audience, but not before they have to stomach the performance of Lander's lifetime.

Seeking repreive from an angry mob and the potential family that lived in the house that they destroyed our heroes seek refuge at their Patron, Izax Oalore's, home. Izax gives the heroes some disturbing news, a generous reward for their hard work, and a chance to clear their name. If they don't mess it up.

Cornered and hunted our heroes have no where left to turn. WIth the horror that has them trapped in a small home they will have to use every trick up their sleeve to survive. They'll be torn between preserving the powers they've fought so hard for and preserving their own lives.

Our heroes find themselves returned to their home, Raven's Bluff is just as they remembered it. Familiar faces have disturbing news for them but compared to what they've been through it's nothing they can't handle. Plus... it's time they took care of some unfinished business.

The party finally arrives in Durthmeck's home within the Elemental Plane of Earht. But Makrannenak is not without it's troubles, and much is expected of the heroes, an ancient curse has been left by the Dao in an attempt to keep the Deep Gnome city ripe for slave harvesting... but the heroes won't be able to return home without facing it.

With the help of the very Deep Gnomes they save the party finds themselves in tunnels under the Free Market streets. The Deep Gnomes promise that the tunnels lead straight to their home, but the adventuers will soon learn just how wild and alien a place the Elemental Plane of Earth's wilderness is.

The Sevenfold Mazework proves to be a quick task for our heroes. But what comes next is all too familiar, hopefully they learn from the past and mind their manners when appraoched by the inhabitants of an alien existence.

Planted deep in the middle of the Elemental Plane of Earth our heroes are in the total dark - literally and figuratively. They'll need to adapt fast and prove their resolve if they hope to figure out which way is up, thankfully they have a new Deep Gnome friend who just happens to be a local.

Their past has reared its ugly head once more - an Efreeti and the wrath of Lolth herself have their eyes set on the gang. Cornered and with no where to run our heroes are going to have to think fast and act even faster if they want to get out alive.

After finally returning Valna home to her family our heroes can continue to pursue more pressing matters, like thwarting the Tearfall. They set their eyes on the road ahead, but there have been eyes on them as well.

Join the Hit Dice! crew for our first Halloween special ever! The gang is playing all new characters for this horror-themed, single episode, adventure. Adventurers in a strange land must solve a mystery that would unsettle even the strongest Dwarven stomach.

The Matron Mother of the Hanali Elves and ruer of Cormanthyr, Cilivren, has told the gang to take some time to themselves before they head out. They heed her advice and make some much needed preparations with their frst big payout as adventurers. They head to the Twisted Tower of Ashaba after a brief rest, but they make some interesting allies along the way.

The Blade Rite has begun. Arwyl has been nominated by the group and agreed to take part in it in the name of progression and justice. Knowing there is no stopping it, or interrupting it Arwyl has two choices: Triumph over the Blade Rite or die.

After a long, arduous, road our heroes finally escort Valna Hanali back home to the Elven Court in Cormanthyr. They are greeted by many applause, larger rewards than they could ever dream of, and the favor of the Elven Court. But it's not enough. Justice will be served, and our heroes don't mind getting involved in a little drama if necessary.

A black dragon, ancient tablets, a sieged town, desperate people, falling allies. It's all a blur and the collapsing of an entire town around you can make it harder to sort out. New answers and truths only seem to complicate things even further, but these things can only be addressed if our heroes make it out alive.

As the small swamp town of Ylraphon crumbles around our heroes they have some BIG decisions to make and not much time to make them.

The first episode in our new studio!!! Our heroes are from home and already things seem to be going badly. Patches having sticky fingers certainly isn't helping the sitatuion... but allies can often be found in strange places. Patches isn't the only one being taken into custody.

As the campaign enters the next big arc and chapter, so do we! We had to spend this week setting up our new, improved, studio! So unfortunately we weren't able to play. BUT Caleb and Wes DID hit record while they were testing things out and we thought you might want to join in on the fun.

As our campaign enters the next big chapter we are kicking it off with the first ever mail bag episode of Hit Dice! Due to high demand we took questions from fans and take a moment to talk a little about ourselves and how this whole thing got started. It's intimate, revealing, and you won't believe what happens next!!!

The boggy swamp town of Ylraphon lies just outside of the FLooded Forest. It's people will prove to be as difficult to handle as the terrain and wild life that surrounds it, but if our heroes can help them maybe they'll be a little more receptive... or at least welcoming.

It's time to leave Ravens Bluff.The stakes have never been higher than they are now and there's no room for down time and recovery. Our heroes set back out on the road and after passing many familiar sites they finally arrive at the village of Ylraphon just outside of the Flooded Forest. It lives up to its name, it's rough, so are its people, and so are it's problems.... which the adventurers get involved in immediately.

Everyone in town seems to have lofty expectations for our heroes and none of them seem to overlap. The next move is a crucial one and it's up to the gang to figure out what the best course of action is. But it's not going to be easy, especially with distrust and paranoia sitting around every corner.

After a long, troubled, road full of set backs our heroes finally make it home. They've felt loss and they've learned many things. But a lot has changed while they've been away and more time has passed than they thought.

The loss of a friend can prove hard to accept, and the party is short of answers after something dear is lost. Their grievences will have to be short lived because something even more disturbing sits right around the corner.

With empty pockets and a potential lead on how to fill them our heroes catch a lead from a nearby general goods and trading post that some farmers just up the road have been have a problem, will pay to have it taken care of, AND that it sounds JUST like the Xorn they just defeated. A little spending money never hurt anyone...

With no other options Adelaide decides that she is going to do something about losing her powers. She is going to earn her Patron's favor... even if it means getting her hands dirty. Good thing she has a bunch of friends who are willing to help.

The number of adventurers in the party grows, as does the number of problems our heroes face.... and they all have a different idea of how they should approach them. If they want to get out of this mess they'll need to agree on a single course of action, and quick.
