Well, it always feels bittersweet to reach the end of a semester, but today is our last meeting of this lecture series on The Keepers. I hope you have been filling out your study guides. We last left Virgil and Jacques in the dark and dreary depths of the Chaga Mines following their battle against the Malamar known as the Cunning Serpent. Having rescued all but one of the missing people of Amanita Town, Team Catapult convinced Pandora to allow them to search the remainder of the mine for the last abducted resident. But a sinister power still lurks in the shadows of the cave, a dark passenger carried by the unaware Jacques. Can Virgil guide his beloved companion back to the surface? Will our young initiates find what they're searching for to complete their mission? And what will be revealed if our heroes once again find themselves in the light of day? Let's find out in our tale's conclusion… Final Exam. DM: Jonah M.

**This episode was recorded before 3/1/2021. The game system used in this episode is no longer being played on current recordings of the podcast.** Hello class, please take a seat! I hope you've been studying because our final is rapidly approaching. We are getting ever closer to the end of this lecture series on the Keepers, and the events we cover today will definitely be on the test. We last left Virgil and Jacques in the Chaga Mine with Pandora, searching for the missing villagers in what they believe to be the home of the Gliscor and Drapion. As our heroes descended into the mine, they came across a horde of Gligar along with other evidence of the predators' habitation. But as Team Catapult investigates this supposedly abandoned butte, a dark presence beckons to them from deeper within. What lurks in the shadows of the Chaga Mine? What horrors must our young heroes face next? And will Virgil find the key he's searching for? Let's find out in our latest installment… Cunning Serpent! DM: Jonah M.

**This episode was recorded before 3/1/2021. The game system used in this episode is no longer being played on current recordings of the podcast.** Alright class, settle down and make your way to your seats. Today we are continuing our lecture series on the Keepers - we are nearing the end of this semester, and we've still got some big events to cover. After leaving the Artisan's Alley with an array of new clothes and accessories for their Pokémon, Virgil, Jacques, and Pandora are now preparing to find and investigate the home of the Gliscor and Drapion. Hoping to get an answer as to what amplified the violent nature of these dreadful beasts, Team Catapult and chaperone have decided to investigate the rock formation near the destroyed merchant's cart and the mysterious butte that was revealed through Jacques' visions. How have these creatures affected the rest of the desert residents? What unexpected encounters may happen as our heroes conduct their investigation? And how scary could a monster lair really be?

**This episode was recorded before 3/1/2021. The game system used in this episode is no longer being played on current recordings of the podcast.** Hello everyone, settle in please. We are continuing our lecture series on the Keepers today, following Team Catapult's dealings the morning after the Showdown at Low Noon. Late in the night, Jacques found himself in his strange dream realm once more, his focus being pulled toward a large formation in the Deathcap Desert - a butte with an odd glow about it. With questions lingering about the origin of the predatory Pokémon, our heroes are set to investigate this mysterious locale. But before that, our young Initiates have decided that it would be best to investigate the local market first, because merchants usually know things. And so we find Virgil and Jacques on the hunt for information, and perhaps trying to procure goods and services along the way. What is this place like in the daytime when there aren't beasts lurking on the outskirts of town? What clues can Team Catapult pick up from the townsfolk? Is this really just a shopping episode in disguise? Let's find out in our latest installment… Artisan's Alley! DM: Jonah M.

**This episode was recorded before 3/1/2021. The game system used in this episode is no longer being played on current recordings of the podcast.** Hello class, please take your seats. Today we are resuming our lecture series on the Keepers after the big, climactic events that we discussed last week. We last left Virgil and Jacques in the direct aftermath of their showdown against the Gliscor and Drapion in the middle of Amanita Town. Through careful planning, clever execution, and some timely improvisation, they managed to capture both of the awful beasts. However, the battle has taken its toll, and we find our young initiates battered, bruised, and exhausted. As Team Catapult goes to bandage their wounds and restore their strength, it seems that the people of this desert town can rest easy once again. But questions still remain… what did these creatures really want? Where did they come from? And what has happened to the people who have gone missing?

**This episode was recorded before 3/1/2021. The game system used in this episode is no longer being played on current recordings of the podcast.** Alright class, settle in, settle in. We are continuing our lecture series on the Keepers, and today is a big one! We last left Virgil and Jacques making their final preparations for the monsters' upcoming attack. After getting some key information and just as importantly, a Shard, they settled on a plan to attempt to protect the town and defeat the beasts. As the most thematically appropriate time of night approaches, the moment for our young Initiates to confront the monsters from the desert is almost here. With Chevalier the Eevee let loose to be a distraction while Virgil and Jacques launch their assault and with Pandora nearby for support, Team Catapult is feeling as ready and confident as they'll ever be. What are the beasts encroaching upon Amanita Town? What do they really want? And will Team Catapult put an end to their reign of terror tonight?

**This episode was recorded before 3/1/2021. The game system used in this episode is no longer being played on current recordings of the podcast.** Hello everyone, welcome back, please take your seats, so we can get class started. Today we are continuing our lecture series on the Keepers as the real twists and turns of our tale approach. If you recall, we last left Virgil and Jacques conducting their investigation of Amanita Town, attempting to discern what awful beasts had been attacking the settlement, what they were after, and the best way to stop them. Whether it was a shocking revelation or a grim reminder, seeing the destruction left behind by the creatures was unsettling to say the least. After doing a large amount of evidence gathering and obtaining answers to some of their most urgent questions, our young Initiates are heading into the next phase of their mission: developing a plan of attack. What last-minute information can Virgil and Jacques get to help them achieve their goal? How will they even attempt to deal with creatures that seem so far out of their league? And will Team Catapult get the street cred they so desperately long for? Let's find out in our latest installment… No Mistake! DM: Jonah M.

Hello class, everyone get to your seats, we've got a lot to cover today. We are continuing our lecture series on the Keepers, and things are only going to ramp up from here. Where we last left off, Virgil and Jacques had overcome what felt like the universe itself throwing something that they were incredibly ill-equipped for directly at them in the form of two large, territorial bird Pokémon. Their unlikely victory was a strong reminder of the power of wits and the mind over sheer force, and an important confidence boost leading into the encounter to come. Now that our young Initiates are feeling better about their abilities and Pandora doesn't feel like she has to babysit them (as much as she did, anyway), our trio of Keepers are making their way into Amanita Town to begin tracking down the beasts threatening the dusty settlement. What do the people of Amanita Town know about the awful creatures? What has happened to the unfortunate souls who have encountered them already? And will Team Catapult get the information they need before the beasts come again? Let's find out in our latest installment… Amanita Aberrations! DM: Jonah M.

Alright everyone, settle in, settle in. Today we are continuing our lecture series on the Keepers. As I'm sure you'll recall, we last left Virgil and Jacques on the road to Amanita Town with Pandora as their chaperone. She set up a training exercise for them to try their hand at tracking, and the boys took it upon themselves to battle two large and ferocious beasts that they found in the process of attacking each other - a far cry from, well, crying at the thought of sparring with each other. Now that their adrenaline is pumping, Team Catapult has decided to try their luck looking for something bigger and badder to fight. Is this plan as ill-advised as it sounds? Will it pay off for Virgil and Jacques to hit the EXP grind this hard? Or will their hubris be their downfall? Pandora's on standby in case they royally mess this up, so let's find out what happens in our latest installment… Food Chain! DM: Jonah M.

Hello everyone, please take a seat. Today we will be continuing our lecture series on the Keepers. Where we last left off, Virgil and Jacques took care of some final business before departing for Amanita Town with Pandora. Because a backpack to put your Slowpoke in is very important. The team hit the road in the Iron Chariot and stopped after a while for a little training session. While Pandora searched the area, the boys decided to do a little wild Pokémon catching, with… varying degrees of success. Now that their crying is nearly at an end, it's time for some real on-the-job training, getting a lay of the land and encountering something a little more dangerous than small birds. What test has Pandora come up with for our young initiates? Will Virgil and Jacques find themselves in over their heads? And will this test actually help the boys understand more about the world around them? Let's find out in our latest installment… Ecosystem! DM: Jonah M.

Hello class, please take a seat and settle in. Today we are continuing our lecture series on the Keepers. Where we last left off, Virgil and Jacques spent the night in the Keeper Fortress having wounds attended to and gearing up to leave for their next mission. Virgil began his journey into Pokeball crafting under the tutelage of Gregor, and Jacques learned that the mysterious shrine had bestowed a strange ability upon him. With the morning's unusual occurrences allegedly at an end, the time has come for our young initiates to depart for Amanita Town with Pandora as their guardian. How else will they manage to delay their departure? What information has Pandora been keeping from them? And is this Slowpoke *really* going to become an integral part of Team Catapult?

Hello everyone, and welcome back. I hope you enjoyed your break. Today, we are resuming our lecture series on the Keepers. If you recall, we last left off with Virgil and Jacques returning to the Keeper Fortress after a few hours of free time inexplicably became a life-altering experience. Bloodied and bruised from an encounter with some large feline Pokémon, they came across a mysterious shrine in the Shiitake Forest that left them with more questions than answers as they were confronted by phantoms of their past, present, and future. We now find our young initiates standing in the Great Hall of the Fortress at the end of their strange field trip, in need some good rest before their next mission tomorrow. Will the other Keepers be suspicious of what Team Catapult has been up to? What has become of the foul creatures they caught in the wilderness? And whose bodily functions will be talked about way too much?! Let's find out in our latest installment: Mental State! DM: Jonah M.

Those most at risk for PTSD include people who have suffered traumatic incidents in the past…. people with poor social support… and those with a family or individual history of anxiety, depression, or a personality disorder. Traumatic events that result from intentional actions present a greater risk than impersonal disasters… Bad omens include regarding your reactions as a sign of weakness, believing (correctly or not) that others are not responding sympathetically or helpfully, fearing that it will happen again, fearing that you will break down if you think too much about it, ruminating about why it happened to you and not to someone else, how it could have been prevented, or how someone can be blamed or punished for it. -Harvard Health Publishing (2006, March).

“Conspiracy theories” are attempts to explain the ultimate causes of significant social and political events and circumstances with claims of secret plots by two or more powerful actors… While often thought of as addressing governments, conspiracy theories could accuse any group perceived as powerful and malevolent. Politics presents circumstances similar to other social conflicts: There are “winners” and “losers” in highly competitive situations, one group (usually a party) is more powerful than others, and the stakes of the conflict are real. …[E]specially when those events stimulate the psychological states linked to conspiracy beliefs, such as low political trust, feelings of powerlessness, uncertainty, and unpredictability.

Alright class, please find your seats. We are continuing our lecture series on the Keepers today as we come back to Virgil and Jacques on their way home to the Keeper Fortress. Where we last left off, the young initiates had staved off an ambush from a couple of vicious predators that had been hunting them in the Shiitake Forest. Following their unlikely success, the boys took a moment to acknowledge their accomplishments before continuing on their way home. After all, they would have quite the journey ahead of them and were certainly looking worse for wear. We now find the initiates walking through the forest, drawing closer to their destination and bringing an end to their free evening. But these young lads aren't out of the woods yet - it seems that some adventure still awaits before they can lay their weary heads to rest. What other mysteries lurk in the Shiitake Forest? Will the boys' past come back to haunt them? And will Jacques attempt to play the lute… again?! Let's find out in our latest installment: Curious! DM: Jonah M.

Alright everyone, take a seat. Today, our lecture series on the Keepers continues as we find Virgil and Jacques in a precarious position. Previously, they had been given some free time to spend the evening as they saw fit before departing for Amanita Town. The boys decided to spend their time catching Pokémon to prepare for their next mission since their current teams didn't seem like the most helpful fit for the task ahead. They caught quite a variety of Pokémon that would become instrumental on their journey, and also the Wretched Beast. But we'll get back to that later. We now find our young initiates in the Shiitake Forest at the base of the Hoothoot's tree. Thanks to the keen eyes of Chev, they are now aware that they're being watched from the trees and the underbrush. What fierce predators are stalking our heroes? Will they run from conflict or stand tall? And will an unlikely champion arise from this new threat? Let's find out in our latest installment: This Is What It Is! DM: Jonah M.

Alright class, let's get to our seats. Today, we will be continuing our lecture series on the Keepers as Virgil and Jacques prepare to go on their next mission. Last time, the young initiates met many of the other Keepers - Gregor (the artificer and inventor of the Pokéball), Kieran (the beastmaster), Henrik (the enchanter and inventor of TMs), and Amelia (the healer and potion crafter) - all of whom were instrumental in the early days of the organization. After receiving their briefing on the upcoming mission in Amanita Town involving something referred to as the “Sand Demon,” Virgil and Jacques find themselves with some free time before their departure tomorrow morning. What will they do to prepare for the journey ahead? Will they recruit new friends to their cause? And will a simple jaunt in the woods turn out to be more than they bargained for?

Alright everyone, please have a seat. Have a seat. Today our lecture series on the history of the Keepers continues as we pick up with Virgil and Jacques receiving their official starter Pokémon, a Bulbasaur and a Charmander, and subsequently refusing to battle each other. Sometimes it is easy to forget that Pokémon battling was once not so common as it is today. But nevertheless, the young initiates remained a part of the organization and didn't just call it quits right there. Thank goodness. We now return to the scene at the Keeper Fortress, where they will have their first encounters with some of the other major figures in the early history of the Keepers. Will getting to know their teammates help the boys feel more at home? Or will they begin to doubt their decisions even more? And what mission awaits out young heroes once they return from their meet and greet? Let's find out in our latest installment: Coworkers! DM: Jonah M.

Alright everyone, take your seats. Today we continue our lecture series on the Keepers. If you do recall, we left off with Virgil and Jacques on the outskirts of Shiitake City. They managed to track down, battle, and capture the wild Butterfree and Venonat that had been causing the chaos out in the farmlands. Ellie's fire typing put them in an advantageous position, while Chevalier struggled with facing the large and terrible butterfly Pokémon. We now find the initiates with the old man they rescued from the wild Pokémon. What will the boys do now that they've completed their mission? Report back to the fortress immediately, or take care of some other business while they're in town? What rewards will await them when they return to the Keeper fortress?
