Misfits of the Inner Sea

We gather around the table one final time to discuss the campaign.

The final (actual play) episode of Misfits of the Inner Sea. A character undergoes a major transformation, a god makes an appearance, a wedding is held, and a life-changing offer is made. Hooks are planted in case the party ever makes another appearance. Thank you all very much for listening -- stay tuned for a wrap-up episode!

The final battle against Asmodeus's herald and his companion, Dorma Jarheel, continues. Some in the party have shaken off the psychotic visions, but others still tremble in fear. Josh the DM has trouble with basic arithmetic.

Atop the Mount of Montagne, the heroes encounter a chilling foe and make a truce with another while forced to face their greatest fears.

The battle between the Misfit Prince and the Barmaid's Cleft comes to a grinding halt and the heroes must contend with the aftermath, which claims the lives of two supporting characters.

The reunion between Sabina and her brothers is a bitter one. Captain Rybold attempts to overtake the Misfit Prince, and the heroes have one final shot to prevent him from using the Dragonstone.

The Barmaid's Cleft has been spotted heading toward the Mount of Montagne. The misfits must face them a final time to recover the Dragonstone and end the dragonstorms plaguing the continent. Featuring the original group:  Josh as the DM, Blake as Daniel Volun the ninja/gunslinger; the Old Man as Sabina the alchemist/rogue; Jaren as Kaydrin Thoros the warpriest of Korada; and Doug as Taran the ranger.

The accidental completion of an evil ritual results in one of the misfits receiving a vision that gives a clue to the whereabouts of their ultimate goal:  The Dragonstone. This episode features Torie and Adam as guests for the final time, playing Valkyrie Wolfsbane and Eli, respectively; meanwhile, the Old Man plays Sabina the rogue/alchemist and Jaren plays Kaydrin the warpriest of Korada.

The dragons have retreated back to Castle Stryithe, where the misfits must face the Prince and disrupt an evil ritual that requires the blood of Hestia Themis. But the Prince's adviser, Dorma Jarheel, will do everything he can to stop them. Torie and Adam return as guests to play Valkyrie and Eli, respectively; the Old Man plays Sabina; Jaren plays Kaydrin Thoros; and Josh DMs.

Josh the Dungeon Master plays a little defense against his players, who are simultaneously defending their characters against those pesky giant carnivorous reptiles. Torie guest stars as Valkyrie Wolfsbane; Adam guest stars as Eli the blue-haired sellsword; Jaren plays Kaydrin the warpriest of Korada; and the Old Man plays Sabina the rogue alchemist.

The battle over Caliphas continues as the misfits try to overwhelm two ancient green dragons protecting Castle Stryithe. Can they overcome this latest hurdle or will they fall into the giant maws of these giant carnivorous reptiles?

A new session begins! The dragonstorms have overtaken the entire continent, but the misfits have a bigger problem -- Hestia Themis, Daniel Volun's fiancee, has been held hostage by the prince at Castle Stryithe. Thankfully, their old ship appears to take them on the ride of their lives -- into the jaws of a pair of ancient green dragons! Featuring the Old Man as Sabina, Jaren as Kaydrin Thoros, Josh as the DM; and special guests Torie as Valkyrie Wolfsbane and Adam as Eli.

Before they can open the door to allow Daniel, Sabina, and Taran to escape the violent clutches of a giant golem, Valkyrie, Serberus, and Berwinn must defeat a pack of goblin dogs and cross a rickety rope bridge; only then will they be able to confront the wizard that has been plaguing Caliphas.

The misfits may not be misfits any longer -- they prove adaptable and adroit in any situation, as displayed by their uncanny ability to survive any situation. But can they survive a cave filled with goblin dogs and a door guarded by an iron golem? Featuring special guest Torie as Valkyrie Wolfsbane.

Taran and Daniel find themselves engaged in aerial acrobatics with the roc, while Sabina attempts to neutralize the giant bird and Valkyrie holds off the goblins who set it free.

The misfits complete their negotiations with the king of Ustalav and are beset by a giant roc mysteriously released in the city. Torie remains a special guest as Valkyrie Wolfsbane, with her trusty dire wolf Serberus.

The misfits gather around the table to take control of their heroes, and are sent to Caliphas to negotiate a truce between the hostile countries of Ustalav and Taldor. The Old Man plays Sabina the alchemist/rogue, Blake plays Daniel Volun the gunslinger, Doug plays Taran the half-elf ranger, and Torie plays Valkyrie Wolfsbanse the druid deputy of Montagne.

The finale to our time travel session! The misfits must overcome the Guardian of Time or die as shipyard rats. Featuring Blake as Daniel Volun the gunslinger, the Old Man as Sabina the rogue/alchemist, Jaren as Kaydrin the warpriest, Doug as Taran the elven ranger, and Josh as DM.

Going back in time and stealing the Dragonstone wasn't a big deal, right? Apparently it was to the Guardian of Time, a powerful extra-planar being with a penchant for preserving the timeline. Featuring the Old Man as Sabina the alchemist/rogue, Doug as Taran the elven ranger, Blake as Daniel the gunslinger, and Jaren as Kaydrin the warpriest. Josh continues his role as DM.

If you go back in time with a warning of THOU SHALT NOT CHANGE THE PAST -- should you try to change the past? Or are you about to fulfill the past? The misfits struggle with this conundrum and make a decision that will decide their fate -- both past and present!

Hestia's plan is carried out when the misfits enter the Shrine of Desna and are flung into the past -- and arrive on the very day Hestia sent them on their first mission! They quickly discover there was more to that day than they originally realized, but can they resist the temptation to defy fate?

Alternate title:  "Send the Damn Bird". The group chums it up with Behram Volun, Daniel's father, before venturing up Mount Montagne to find the Shrine of Desna to carry out Hestia's outrageous plan to travel to the past. Featuring the Old Man as Sabina the "old hag" rogue/alchemist, Doug as Taran the shanghai'd half-elf (with his trusty bird Melanlas), Jaren as Kaydrin the warpriest, and Blake as Daniel Volun the gunslinger.

Daniel, played by Blake returns to Montagne to find that not everybody is ready to welcome him back. Kaydrin, played by Jaren, wonders why he continues to remain with this adventuring party. Taran, played by Doug, is just looking to get laid, and Sabina, played by the Old Man, can't wait to stab something. Intro featuring Josh and Torie; game starts at 13:45.

Navarre, played by Dustin, engages in psychological warfare with Myra while Isabeau, played by Jacinda, sings her heart out and directs the dragons to attack. Meanwhile, Valkyrie, played by Torie, faces the magma dragon once more. Can they overcome their most hated foe, or will they fall to the cult of Asmodeus?

The heroes travel up the slope of Mount Montagne, determined to find their quarry. Can they outsmart the magma dragon, or will analysis paralysis overtake them?

A flame drake descends upon The Rusty Axe, giving the dragons their first opportunity to protect their masters. Meanwhile, Valkyrie, Navarre, and Isabeau fend off Myra's minions within Rufus's rustic tavern.

Valkyrie returns to Montagne to warn the misfit recruits of the impending attack, only to find that the attack has begun! Featuring Torie as Valkryie Wolfsbane the druid deputy of Montagne, Dustin as Navarre the former criminal ranger, Jacinda as Isabeau the hesitantly brutal bard, and Josh as the DM.

An epic battle at the Worldwound commences. After learning of the evil pact between Asmodeus and Groetus, the misfits attempt to stop Myra from carrying out her evil plans; however, from the depths of the Worldwound she summons a magma dragon with the intent to destroy Montagne. Valkyrie takes it upon herself to stop Myra once and for all, but at what cost? Featuring the Old Man as Sabina the rogue/alchemist, Jaren as Kaydrin the warpriest, Blake as Daniel Volun the gunslinger/ninja, Josh as the DM, and special guest Torie as Valkyrie Wolfsbane the druid deputy of Montagne.

Something evil is afoot in the Worldwound -- a pact has been made between two churches of vile darkness, and only our heroes can uncover the unholy marriage before it unleashes chaos upon the world.

The misfits find themselves chasing down a spy from hell at the Worldwound. While Valkyrie and her wolf companion Serberus take a mine cart ride into the bowels of the earth, the others must contend with the outpost's powerful guards.

The barbed devil continues its assault against the misfits, but it may be up to Valkyrie to save them; and the characters' deepest, darkest secrets must be explored if they wish to forge ahead. Josh is the DM, the Old Man plays Sabina, Jaren plays Kaydrin, Blake plays Daniel Volun, and Torie is Valkyrie, the misfit recruit who may not remain a recruit for much longer!

Valkyrie Wolfsbane, deputy of Montagne, leads the misfits down to the pit of death where she, Isabeau, and Navarre defeated Tordok for the second and final time. But they discover that they aren't the only ones who wish to use the portal...

Following a sad reunion, Daniel Volun leads the misfits into the town of Montagne to search the university's library for the long-lost Dragonstone. Featuring Blake as Daniel Volun the gunslinger, Tom (a.k.a. the Old Man) as Sabina the alchemist/rogue, Torie as Valkyrie Wolfsbane the druid deputy, and Jaren as Kaydrin Thoros the demon-hunting warpriest.

They meet a man riding horseback through the woods (Eli, played by special guest Adam) who is on a mission to Cassomir -- but is he trustworthy?

Beneath the Cult's hideout lies a crypt to a king of Taldor from ages past. While Taran the Elven chef (played by Doug) and Sabina the Rogue Alchemist (played by Tom) work to uncover the secrets of a room filled with acid and mysterious, colorful levers, gunsmith Daniel Volun (played by Blake) and magus Minn (played by Jaren) fend off the monsters of the dungeon.

Our heroes enter the cult's hideout and discover their secrets. For better or for worse, they split up to explore an ancient crypt...

After throwing three sheets to the wind and rushing into battle with the cultists at their hideout in Quickfall Abbey, the misfits must contend with a golem and the vicious wounds it causes.

In the wake of Cassomir's destruction, the Cult of Nature's Cataclysm has set up a hideout to conceal something of importance. What are they hiding, and why did they post a giant beast to guard it? The misfits have been assigned to find out!

The misfits and their drunken dwarven friend have found the mad gnome mastermind behind the attacks on Cassomir. Can they overpower him and his draconic minions, or will the active volcano consume them all? The final episode of Jaren's DM session!

Each member of the gang becomes the head of a powerful family in an Italian city-state run by a weak and corrupt court in the quick and easy-to-play game of Coup. In order to gain complete control, we must destroy each other's influence on the court and send them into exile. The game is quick enough that we manage to squeeze in three rounds in one episode. Enjoy the final episode of our board game session!

The traitor has been revealed and he continues his rampage throughout the house on the hill. It's up to four brave heroes to stop him and his carnivorous ivy!
