Let's Duet!

Murin and Ocker still find themselves in the Orion's cave of secrets. Orion watches from their bunker room as the pair debunk all of their traps. They've been pretty lucky up to this point, but what lies further in the cave may be a bit worse then an awkward dancing fawn.

The looming eyes of Orion follow Ocker and Murin through their first challenge. Heading through the digital cloister will be no easy feat though as Orion has more then a few tricks hidden up their sleeves. Like, a really cute moth that will inevitably distract Murin and become the new mascot for the entire campaign. Oh no!

A mysterious pink eyed Orion sits in their office watching security monitors for hours and hours, what a true gamer. A sudden phone call from Valen demanding that Orion not meddle in the games at hand seems to have little effect on their plan in the situation. Meanwhile, Ocker and Murin learn more about the Dome and how there's a sick new trading card game hitting the streets. Will they catch them all or will they be banished to the shadow realm?

Murin and Ocker gather up their belongings, say goodbye to their weird little egg babies to head out to the next location, the Dome of Knights. But, before they ended up probably stranded, alone and helpless in the middle of the desert, they decide to hit up Vi and Buck for supplies. Buck tips them off to the leader of the Dome, Orion, an elusive leader who seems to have a knack for being a bit of a drain. 

Ocker and Murin just can't seem to escape the calm and relaxation that is the inner sanctum. Good thing there's no adventures they need to go on or anything. Taking advice from Valen, the two head towards the local shops to gather some gear before making their way to the Dome of Knights. But not before they discover a cool little fact about their new found pet Jeremy. 

After the mania that was Narrengarten, Murin and Ocker return to Valen's Crystal Castle for some well deserved R&R&R...or maybe just R&R. We catch up with the other contestants to see what monstrosities they've run into and if anyone has any answers to whatever Valen is planning here. Ocker ventures out on his own to try and get some answers from Valen while Murin finally gets the reward he's been pining after for 5 minutes. 

Pillow has finally been vanquished, the town has been saved and he would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for that obnoxious tiny ratman and his level headed bird companion. With Alma free and pillow's relationship with Junior rectified, the team head back to Narringarten to asses the damages and see if Kringle is still open for business.  

Murin really needs to learn how to read the fine print on a flyer, or just how to read at all. With the first obstacle out of the way, Murin and Ocker must contend with the other contestants and make their way through the next two challenges. Shouldn't be a problem, after all they are the most cooperative, well mannered, communicative and handsomest couple in all of Shamshau...

Let's Duet breaks from it's regular scheduled program to bring you something a little bit different. We're turning the tables and flipping the lids on the formula and switching up roles for a fun little one off session...that is now going to be two episodes. This story takes place in the past with our two heroes finding themselves slightly burned out from adventuring and in need of a nice break. Murin finds a poster in the town square detailing a nice little retreat for weary adventurers. How nice of him!

After finally finding Alma there's only one more person to track down and deal with...Pillow. Murin has the bright idea to head straight into the void and get the inside scoop from an old friend. Ocker stays to defend Alma and ensure that everything would be alright...for the most part

Barnaby finally gets his wish and is reunited with his mother. Ocker gets his wish and helps Barnaby reunite with his mother. Murin gets the brother he never had Jeremy. However, the moment of fruition will soon pass as the trio have other immediate danger in front of them. One shaped like an over bloated marshmallow. 

From one terrible room to another we go. A deep dark red hallway is the least of our worries, has anyone seen the cool bonelike trim on the door at the end of the hallway? The boys are gonna need all their dexterity to navigate the cluttered floors of this haunted hallway. And who knows, maybe they'll meet some new friends along the way. Maybe one that will give a helping hand. 

The fun house of horror is ramping up with our trio finding new and interesting ways to be terrified. Pillow continues to haunt, taunt and flaunt his gaunt elongated visage across the attraction leaving everyone to believe they might not be a big marshmallow fluff. Junior desperate to find out what happened to his mom throws himself into a potentially dangerous situation without consulting the rest of the team. Now he finds himself in a bit of a pickle, or a bit of a box. 

Barnaby catches a glimpse of the impossible, and no I don't mean Murine finally being nice to him. His mom seems to be laying dormant in some kind of crystalline structure. All the boys need to do is get through this room without crushing any of the glass pieces and make it through to the other side.

Into the void we go! The boys begin their freefall descent into darkness. Or however you would categorize movement that is half the speed of gravity....a freecrawl? The void isn't as bad as it seems, it's quiet, relaxing and filled with unknown portal monsters with multiple tendrils ready to attack at a moments notice. 

This haunted house is starting to look a little less haunted and a little more supernaturally cursed. Our three heroes find themselves in a room of sorts? A step in between worlds with seemingly nowhere else to go but into the void. Thank goodness that Barnaby knows this place inside and out just like the back of his hand. 

Ocker, Murin and friend find themselves trapped inside a once happy house of horrors. Fun! Barnaby insists his mom had built the place, but if there's a plaque of her on the wall, I haven't seen it. Slowly and cautiously we set out to discover what's going on here and whether or not we can start a new reality tv show about sharks and busses. 

With a belly full of fried foods and a heart full of curiosity our boys politely slam their fists against Harrison's trailer door. He seems to have misplaced his arm and needs Ocker and Murin to go out and find it for him. Not before running into their good old friends Athena and Mason who seem to have plans of their own. 

Off to circus city, not the other one that may or may not still be trademarked. What will the city that never stops having clowns it have to offer? A whimsical teleporting man who possesses the only thing that Murin's heart desires...a ruby rat. 

Time for the boys to head out into the world and see what it's like to walk a mile in some clowns shoes. The city...or town of Narringarten, what a splendor. Clowns, fields full of daisies, and fried food vendors who just may be getting to old for the business. But once all the calliope music stops and all the lemonade is drank, a darker more sinister clown town appears. 

Murine and Ocker are getting more and more acquainted with their all too pleasant surroundings. Before they head out, they decide to check out some of the local quirky shop keeps. One of which who might be responsible for all of their terrible nightmares! Uh oh whats that all about? 

Finally the crew come face to face with director Valen. The mysterious...masked dog man they've been searching for this whole time. Ocker and Murine are given a choose your own adventure brochure with 3 vastly different locales. Each one holds hints, tips and tricks to finding Valen's treasure trove. But first, its been a really long luxury boat cruise ride and the boys need some rest. They head over to their see through cabins and plan how to really give it to Wren.

Murine has been knocked out once again and finds himself surround by a bunch of friendly siphonophore....tendrils? He can't help himself but reach for them tasty tasty nugs and ends up running into a new friend in the void! Though, they seem to know about as much as Murine about what is going on here. Guess it's time to hunt more into through the endless nightmare. 

Murin receives another one way ticket to the shadow realm, bought stamped and delivered by none other then the jock bro dragon born Wren. The siphonophores seem to be getting along quite nice. Probably wouldn't hurt to try and grab one of those juicy little memories out of their gutty works again. Only this time, Murin isn't the only one reaching for them sweet sweet nugs.

Giant jellyfish with big old boba secrets. Too bad Murin has to wake up from his dream. Back in reality, the boys decide to get a lay of the land and bother Gilford some more. Man, what a rad dude. Searching the ship more reveals the worlds biggest bully and jerk, Wren. Man, what a totally unrad dude. 

In this episode our boys finally make their way to the mysterious yurt, and what do they find? A sassy slithering all-seer snake man who tells them that they're future is in his glowing crystal. Murin takes a ride not once but twice through crystal funky town and is rewarded with the visage of an unknown dog. With their new found knowledge in hand, they finally, FINALLY, make their way to the boat and meet up with Wallace. On the boat they find a couple familiar and many more unfamiliar faces. Murin gets a little too cozy with the endless amenities the boat has to offer and may or may not be a little tipsy. No worries, I'm sure the nice bar game in the corner will help ease their minds for the time being. Or maybe...

Murin and Ocker find themselves aided by a mysterious young woman who finds it very difficult to divulge any kid of useful information. Thank goodness for parasols and mysterious women, always lending a helping hand. But who is this person? Is she Liddie? Is she someone else? Friend? Foe? Rad and Ready to fight? With the octopus monster defeated, now comes the more pressing matter of finding a method of escape. They must head back to the shipyard before Wallace decides to make like Enya and sail away. 

Boy what a whirlpool of events that went down. This is exactly why you shouldn't go around touching random books. You don't know what metaphysical magic death traps they may be harboring. Hopefully Murin can shake his way out of this situation as Ocker seems completely powerless to help him out of his watery prison. Surely there won't be any other sea based monstrosities that rear their octopodidae based heads out of the ether to try and go hand to hand with our heroes. Goes to show that sometimes curiosity, does in fact, krill the rat. 

The boys are making some progress in their journey to the island of Talea! Wallace Paine has agreed to take them on ship and not leave without them. But there's still some fishy stuff happening in this town and I'm not talking about the market. After getting a tip from Captain Scuffles, the boys decide to head to Liddie's store and see what all the hub bub was about. A glowing card, some weird books and buckets and buckets of blood make this one of the most interesting encounters our adventurers have ever had. 

What's that on the horizon, a city in view? No more dank dark caves filled with murderous beasts? Welcome to the town of Angelwood Port. A quaint quiet sea side town filled with open market commotions, a failing but well meaning magician, orc sisters, candy addicts, apathetic port attendants and more. At the least Murin and Ocker can finally get some rest and steal a room. 

Uh oh, looks like Ocker and Murine are in a bind again. Who would have guessed that Mynmir wasn't that much of an upstanding dude. Some would even say, he doesn't stand up at all, cause he's a werewolf, so he's on all fours. Pesky werewolves always mucking things up, you know how it is. Luckily, past adventures of slaying deities and unspeakable monstrosities have made Ocker and Murine a dexterous duo. Still got to work on that upper body strength though.

Murin and Ocker finally have the caves to themselves and enjoy some time together. But just like momma used to say, all good things must pass and always look out for werewolves. Through the winding cave system they go looking for the exit to that shortcut until they happen upon a very, very heavily secured and sturdy looking door. Let's find out what's inside!

The boys try and figure out how a cave works, while also teaching some buds(?) the basics of go fish. If only they had some good knee insurance. Maybe Murin can give them a referral!

Our boys have received a mysterious letter from an even more mysterious Director Valen. Who is he? What does he want? What the heck is the name of that one orange vegetable that's like, really long? Maybe the stranger knocking on the door in the middle of the night has the answers...

Welcome to the first episode of Let's Duet! A not so professional two person D&D podcast featuring your DM and bird boy cleric Shailo and rapscallion mouse folk rogue Alex. Come join us as our boys watch a lackluster magic show, receive a mysterious letter from a pickle stork and get in a sparring match with vegetables. What other ridiculous situations await our heroes in the future? I don't know, lets find out together!
