So now our heroes must head to the snowy mountains to the west of Icewind Dale. This place is too big, if you ask me. It could be a bit smaller. Oh well, at least we get some good story out of it! I'm enjoying myself, definitely! How about you, Max Hedman?Sound Effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Well, time to head northward once again! It seems that these side quests are just endless. I mean I guess this one will help them on their main quest, but gods is this tedious. I wish at least fast traveling was enabled. The instantaneous kind, where the time of day doesn't change. You know what I mean, right? Anyway, I think we deserve a hearty tune from Max Hedman about now. Where is he..?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Oh wow, this is very scary. I'm not certain our heroes will be able to pull through. Eight versus three? Those are odds I'm not comfortable with. PLUS Auril watching?? I mean sure, this first round has gone well. But what about the others? Max Hedman, I'm frightened. Can you give me some kind of inspiration to get out of it?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Oh, that flashback was a bit unexpected. Hopefully we can resolve this upcoming conflict! I'll be honest, I'm not certain what to expect from this. I'm a bit scared. But I have faith our heroes will be able to prevail. If anyone is capable of ending this madness, it's the Bitter Hearts! Right, Max Hedman?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Things are going from bad to worse. A sacrifice every night? There's no way that can lead to a substantial population. They're going way mad here, and they need to be stopped. I can't believe I was rooting for the ten towns. Now it seems there are only two or three towns that are even worth it. Max Hedman, what has this world come to?Sound Effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

That Xardorok was kind of a pushover, wasn't he? At least our heroes got this over with quickly. Now on the find the orb! Surely they won't mess around in this fortress for too long. I can't imagine them wasting time while they know their next move. Very unlike our party to do so. Right, Max Hedman?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Gods there is so much sneaking around going on in this campaign. It's absolutely wild. Where is the rushing in to battle? Why so much hesitation? I blame party dynamics. Get me a few good folks and we'll storm this castle in like thirty minutes. We'll even have Max Hedman be our drummer boy!Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

So this plan is absolutely going to work, right? There's no way it will backfire. It's going to be flawless in execution. They're going to be in and out of this castle. At least, I hope… They killed everyone, right?? There wasn't an extra person who was invisible, right? Max Hedman, can you help me calm down?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Too much debating. Not enough action. Our party just needs to go with their gut! Storm the castle, kill the king, and be rid of the Duergar threat! Or even just go find the Orb and get to the glacier! Gods this is too much for me. Max Hedman, let's go play some music somewhere else.Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

I'm glad our heroes were able to make it out of Brynshander, but MAN now they have to deal with these flying freaks? Will they ever get a break?? One can only hope. I just don't feel good about their quest going forward. I would just abandon Ice Wind Dale at this point. What do you say, Max Hedman?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Thank the GODS that someone is on our heroes' side! The fact that they got basically everyone together to just shit all over our Bitterhearts makes me so angry. Like honestly, forget the Ten (Six) Towns. They can solve their own problems. I'd be on my way south if I was in their shoes. Also yeah I guess these guards are an issue. They're inconsequential. Max Hedman, just shoo them away for us.Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat

Arrested? Are you joking with me? They just literally saved the Ten Towns. These people are so ungrateful. I can't believe it. I'd just leave the Ten Towns at this point. Fuck these people. Gods this makes me so angry. Max Hedman, can you play me something to calm me down?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Oh man. This is it, right? They either succeed here or the Ten Towns are destroyed. We can only hope that things turn out alright. But nothing ever really does turn out alright, does it? Man I feel pessimistic about this. Max, can you try to cheer me up?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

I don't even really have anything to say or comment. Our heroes need to catch up with that dragon. They need to stop it. I genuinely hope no one dies. I don't think I can take another loss.Please give them strength, Max Hedman.Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

If a dragon is what they must fight, the a dragon they will fight! This may be the last thing the Bitter Hearts ever do. But dammit, will they get it done! Also does anyone else think they shouldn't have let that guy live? Like I know they're not evil, but he certainly is. I hope it doesn't come back to bite them. Oh well, bigger fish to fry! To arms, Max Hedman, to arms!Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat & Descript.

So wait, if someone can just MAKE a mythalar, why does Auril want the one from Ythryn specifically? Could she not just have one of her followers create one? It seems Macreadius wasn't too far off, just some tweaks. Perhaps this is something that will come up later? Quite perplexing don't you think, Max Hedman?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

So these guys are just two, regular, well-adjusted guys right? No reason to be freaked out by them? No reason to worry about the safety of our party? I mean a placed called the black cabin doesn't sound ominous at all. Not at all. Max Hedman, why are you playing such creepy music? That's not you? Oh.Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

The Paladin is so cool. Gods I love him. Them? Maybe. Also what is this Mythallar thing? It seems to be the key between Auril conquering Icewind Dale and our heroes prevailing against her. Truly I hope our heroes can figure things out before it's too late. Max Hedman, can you play me something that will make me feel less anxious about everything?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Moose and bodies and bears — Oh my!I mean they're just bears though. They shouldn't be too much of a threat. Right? Regardless of what happens here, I hope they find this moose. It can't keep terrorizing this town. Also they can't afford to be hated in another town..Max Hedman, play something over there to get the bears to run away.Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Well now that Beetle has been set to rest, and Redoran has said some serious things to Aumanator, where do we go from here? I'm certain our party will figure something out. It's not like anything has been time sensitive, right? Oh has it? Uh-oh…Max Hedman, can you play us something to make this a little less..awkward?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Again? So soon? This is messed up. They JUST got over Eaddberht's death. And now Beetle? How much more can our heroes take? How much more can the listeners take? It's all just so…sad. Please keep the party in your thoughts and prayers in these upcoming times. Max Hedman, go ahead and play us a sombre tune.Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Uh oh! Uh oh! Mithrama isn't safe! We gotta get this boy out of here! I sure hope everything is going to be okay! I'm super worried that something terrible is going to happen this episode. I mean that title is super ominous, no?? I'm shaking pretty bad right now. Please soothe me with your calming songs, Max Hedman.Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

The captain is dead?! Who could have seen that coming?! All sarcasm aside, does this death count towards our party's kill count? I think it should. I mean, Arlaggath would still be alive if not for them. Probably. What say you, Max Hedman?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

So this Paladin…is he powerful or not? I'm very confused about this. Is he immortal? So many layers to this. We need to get back to business. Let's head back to town, gather ourselves, maybe listen to some Max Hedman, and get going. Maybe grab a bite to eat. Ooh, and nice night's sleep.Sound Effects courtesy of Zapsplat

Who is this mysterious person? What do they want with this amulet? How in the hells did they cleave a warg in twain??? I'm both excited and nervous for our party to find out more. I hope this person is nice, like how Max Hedman is.Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Oh man, I'm not liking this ice. Also, what is that mysterious voice? Could it truly be a nee, powerful ally? Or is this some trap set up by something sinister? I'm not usually one to trust strangers…Good thing I know Max Hedman! He helps me set the mood whenever someone new approaches!Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Gods I HATE tension. It's like my least favorite thing. I hate all kinds, too. Even sexual tension (which I feel there has been a bit of recently). Hopefully things will smooth out soon for our heroes. Until then I think I might just stand over here in the corner humming some songs by the wonderful Max Hedman.Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

So we can agree that there's no negotiating with Simulacrums, right? Just making sure we're all on the same page. Perhaps if a certain someone had still been alive, things wouldn't be going down the way they are currently..Anyway what's up with these Duergar? Better get to them fast! Right, Max Hedman?? Play us something to really get our adrenaline flowing!Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

What an incredible tower. How did the Netherese manage to build things like this? Also, holy wow what's up with Dzann still being alive?? We saw him get executed, right? I didn't just hallucinate that? There's always so much going on that sometimes it's hard to keep up. Do you get where I'm coming from, Max Hedman?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

A truer loss has not been had in a while. Alas, life must move on. Such is the way of mortality. We must all come to accept this sooner or later. Anywhoosle, on to the next adventure! I'm waiting for what happens next with bated breath! Hold my hand, Max Hedman! I get scared easily!Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Well, I believe it is time. After those touching letters, though maybe a bit demanding on someone who is dead, it's time to finally put the old man to rest. Don't worry, I've already cried. It's okay if you do, though. Neither I nor Max Hedman will tell anyone.Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

I… I can't believe he's actually gone. Like even with a scroll or spell I feel as if he would just not come back. For he is not willing. How will the others take this when they find out they cannot revive their dear friend? How will they fair together? I feel like he may have been the glue that keeps them from each others' throats. I guess we'll have to find out. Max Hedman, get ready for a funeral.Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

What will our party do now? That was an incredibly tough fight. Perhaps they will find a way to revive Eaddberht? Perhaps not? I'm not certain what to think at this point. It's all so sad. I need some comforting music, I think. Max Hedman, play away.Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

I… genuinely can't believe it. What just happened?? Like seriously, what just happened? He can't be dead, right?? There's still so much to do. So many people he has to see. He just got elected the Speaker of Good Mead! He can't leave that town with no one! I just…. I can't. I'm sorry…Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

How incredibly visceral some of those descriptions were. It made me shudder, truth be told. I hope they can find a way to cure Beetle soon. It would make everyone's hearts feel better, I believe. It would make mine feel better, at least. Only good things can come from here, eh? Right, Max Hedman?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

So that's not good, right? Like that thing flying into Beetle isn't good?? It's very ominous. I'm honestly pretty frightened. I hope this like takes a minute to activate, whatever it is, and not come up immediately. That would be significantly worse. Is anyone else scared? Max Hedman??Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

By all that is holy, I hope our group can take down this dark spirit! Hearing of the destruction this thing has caused and hearing descriptions of it gives me the heebie jeebies!!! What can our party even do against such a creature?? Maybe nothing…I just hope they make it out of Bremen alive. Don't you, Max Hedman?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

What a TWIST!!! I never would have seen that coming! With all of the plots that I had in my head, all of the reasons for Mithrama's secrecy, THIS never would have been one. I'm honestly shaking at this point. I can't really think of anything else to say. Logic's transformation is cool, I guess? But wow. Mithrama. Even hunkier than before

What an intense and also wildly sexual episode! I hope nothing bad comes from any of this. I'm also very eager to hear what Levistus has in store for Logic. Some kind of deal? Just talking? I'm actually kind of nervous. Can you hold me, Max Hedman?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Oh man, what a tragic ending for Scython. These people hunting Logic really are doing the most damage to our party. Both physically and mentally. I hope these next few days aren't as tragic. Knowing our party's luck, though, I don't think I should hold my breath. Isn't that right, Max Hedman?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

That meeting sure was a doozy, huh? Revelations and semi-betrayals. Long lost kin. Arguments of legitimacy. What will come next? Will this be the final meeting of the ten-towns before all hell breaks loose? I sure hope not, I love these rp sessions. Don't you agree, Max Hedman?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Who could see that coming?! Eaddbehrt is a Harper?! Not only that, but he was friends with Leosin! I never would have seen that coming. I hope this meeting goes well. I'm not sure what they will talk about, though? The Duergar? The Frost Maiden? Max Hedman? I guess we have to listen and find out.Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Oh man, what a harrowing fight! Our adventurers sure do know how to get themselves into trouble! I am glad they made it out alive, though. Now all that's left is to go to Caer-Konig and then head back to Bryn Shander for the Speaker's Meeting! Maybe Max Hedman will be there..? Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

With Avarice helping, there shouldn't be too many more setbacks on our heroes way to Caer-Konig and then the meeting of the speakers! Yep, everything is going pretty hunky-dory right now. I might even risk it to say that nothing bad can happen right now. Right, Max Hedman? Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Who is this mysterious group that both know of, and want to speak to Logic? Furthermore, what exactly will this mean for the rest of our party? I shudder at the thought of a party being separated…but if it has to be done it has to be done, I suppose. Perhaps the others can sit back and relax to some tunes by Max Hedman to pass the time. Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Well how about that, Eaddberht won! It's always exciting to see new people with fresh ideas put into power! Though, to be frank, didn't he say that he wasn't going to last long? I'm not certain I'd vote for him. But if it was between an old man and a terrible person…maybe I'm saying too much. Max Hedman, what are your thoughts? Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

A near tpk is my favorite thing to wake up to in the morning! Who doesn't love when a person who is supposed to be in hiding reveals everything about their life? I know I sure do! I'm definitely not seething with rage right now, no-sir-ee! I think I'm going to go listen to Max Hedman play some tunes for a minute, call me when things are back to normal. Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Who is this mysterious stranger?? Will our heroes save him in time?! What is he doing with those kids?!?! There is so much going on right now and I have no idea what to think! Max Hedman, hold me for comfort! Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Beetle…why oh why did you have to pick those items up? Look at you now! What exactly will this mean for our party going forward? I hope the ramifications aren't too bad. I guess they can figure things out when they get back to Goodmead, right? I have no idea. Any thoughts, Mad Hedman? Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Now that the verbeeg is taken care of, it's time to get that mead! Of course, it'd be pretty cool to explore this cave first. Find some loot. Our heroes deserve it, really. They've been through a lot so far. Wouldn't you agree, Max Hedman? Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Wait, wait, wait… Olivessa wants Eaddberht to do WHAT?! Would he even be into that?? I mean would he even be. a good leader? Plus he's so old… I'm getting ahead of myself. He has to get this mead back, anyway. Max Hedman, play us a song of vengeance! Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.
