D&DeBrief episode 020 - The Coral Dog Summary: A Coral Dog, a SkullSword, and a Book of Proofs! The party debates what to do with the dog-creature in the Hokka Temple and also try to decide what statement to write into the Book of Proofs for evaluation. As they make their plans for their journey to the temple they find Blaxley Chillingquest sitting in front of the skull sword they can't shake off. He tries to convince Axley to wield the sword and the group gets the idea the sword speaks to Blaxley. They make their way into the depths of the temple where the coral dog is to be found. The room is very different from the way it was when they were here previously. The boiling mud room has changed into a frozen ice pool. They interact with the coral altar dog and something unexpected happens! And then Bolem returns... Debrief: This debrief is a very brief chat amongst the group. We talk about the changes in the characters and their places in the setting, and how the game is going in general.

D&DeBrief episode 017 - Goodbye Darkport, Hello Sharkface Summary: Axley and Reyla are 'stuck' in the Curiosity with Blaxley Chillingquest and Toddeus. While the Goat discusses how to run a guild with Blaxley, Axley tries to comfort Reyla and find out if she knows anything. Meanwhile, back in the Chamber of Eyes, Marcel, Emmeryn, and Khonnos figure out how to destroy the dog statue and then Emmeryn calls on her Goddess Goras to help get them out of the Temple safely. The group is finally reunited and makes their way off of the Dark Plateau. Axley pilots the Curiosity safely back to the Tempest's Fortune and the group tries to figure out what the heck Leralak is and what he is doing. When they arrive, they find there is another ship - a large galleon - floating in the ocean a few hundred feet away from the Tempest's Fortune. There has been a message delivered by some blue goblins requesting a duel and there is a herd of sharks circling the group's ship. They set about devising a plan to deal with the pirates. Debrief: We discuss the importance of being flexible when a player makes a PC that is specialized for a particular environment or type of campaign, but then the game ends up putting the PCs predominantly in a different environment or the entire campaign takes off in an unexpected direction.

D&DeBrief episode 015 - Darkport By Night, Raven's Delight Summary: Axley and Marcel decide to investigate the Curiosity to try and find out how fast it can travel. They stumble upon a blue goblin infestation on the island and rush back to the village to tell everyone about their findings. Meanwhile, Khonnos and Emmeryn meet with the Hokka people to discuss their plans. Upon hearing news of the goblins, Khonnos instructs them to destroy the threat while he goes with Axley, Marcel, and Emmeryn to fight a different foe. The group then departs the island and tests the ability of the Curiosity to travel between planes. They find themselves in a darker place with different rules of behavior and a price to pay. They meet the corrupt town guards and Axley makes a brazen attempt at deception. Finally, they figure out where they are supposed to go, and it is larger than they thought! How are they going to get in there? Debrief: This episode we discuss Player Knowledge vs Character Knowledge. Also... How does a DM handle it when a particular PC has a better chance to know something compared to a different PC? How does a player handle it when there is a difference in what the PC knows compared to the player? Does this knowledge ever conflict with player agency? We touch on the idea of participation vs being an audience member, and whether a DM tells the players what their PCs missed when they are done with an adventure.

When they arrive, they find there is another ship - a large galleon - floating in the ocean a few hundred feet away from the Tempest's Fortune. There has been a message delivered by some blue goblins requesting a duel and there is a herd of sharks circling the group's ship. They set about devising a plan to deal with the pirates. Debrief: We discuss the importance of being flexible when a player makes a PC that is specialized for a particular environment or type of campaign, but then the game ends up putting the PCs predominantly in a different environment or the entire campaign takes off in an unexpected direction.

D&DeBrief episode 020 - The Coral Dog Summary: A Coral Dog, a SkullSword, and a Book of Proofs! The party debates what to do with the dog-creature in the Hokka Temple and also try to decide what statement to write into the Book of Proofs for evaluation. As they make their plans for their journey to the temple they find Blaxley Chillingquest sitting in front of the skull sword they can't shake off. He tries to convince Axley to wield the sword and the group gets the idea the sword speaks to Blaxley. They make their way into the depths of the temple where the coral dog is to be found. The room is very different from the way it was when they were here previously. The boiling mud room has changed into a frozen ice pool. They interact with the coral altar dog and something unexpected happens! And then Bolem returns... Debrief: This debrief is a very brief chat amongst the group.

D&DeBrief episode 015 - Darkport By Night, Raven's Delight Summary: Axley and Marcel decide to investigate the Curiosity to try and find out how fast it can travel. They stumble upon a blue goblin infestation on the island and rush back to the village to tell everyone about their findings. Meanwhile, Khonnos and Emmeryn meet with the Hokka people to discuss their plans. Upon hearing news of the goblins, Khonnos instructs them to destroy the threat while he goes with Axley, Marcel, and Emmeryn to fight a different foe. The group then departs the island and tests the ability of the Curiosity to travel between planes. They find themselves in a darker place with different rules of behavior and a price to pay. They meet the corrupt town guards and Axley makes a brazen attempt at deception. Finally, they figure out where they are supposed to go, and it is larger than they thought! How are they going to get in there? Debrief: This episode we discuss Player Knowledge vs Character Knowledge. Also... How does a DM handle it when a particular PC has a better chance to know something compared to a different PC? How does a player handle it when there is a difference in what the PC knows compared to the player? Does this knowledge ever conflict with player agency? We touch on the idea of participation vs being an audience member, and whether a DM tells the players what their PCs missed when they are done with an adventure.

D&DeBrief episode 010 - Old Goats and Hokka Clans Summary: The Tempest's Fortune sets out for Kalport but finds itself battered by a storm and suffering damage. As the deluge subsides they assess the hull and find themselves face to face with an elusive Hokka. While waiting for the Hokka to return with help the group investigates a set of 4 rods found by Axley. Khonnos activates one and a goat springs forth, introducing himself and offering advice. The Hokka return and tow the ship to a small, uncharted island. After hosting a feast for the crew, the Hokka presents Captain Emmeryn with a gift and a task. Debrief: DM Samuel checks in with the group to make sure that each of the players feels comfortable with their PC's abilities and capabilities. The group also discusses the end of this story arc, how many sessions are left, and what to do after this campaign is over. Options Abound!

D&DeBrief episode 009 - Hijinks Ensue! Summary: Khonnos and Axley have sneaked onto the pirate ship under the cover of an invisibility spell. They search the ship and find that one of the cargo holds of the ship contains strange sacs of bluish fleshy material. Closer inspection by Khonnos reveals that they are blue goblin eggs incubating in the hold! They also find a room full of magical artifacts, no doubt stolen during the crew's piratical adventures. Lastly, they find a huge metal barrel that looks out of place aboard the ship. Axley finds a way to open the barrel and they discover that this is much more than a large tin can! Meanwhile, as Emmeryn and Marcel wait on the docks, they are approached by a two halflings. One introduces himself as Dawmer Brittlespoon and expresses that they are looking for their cousin, Axley Tillingquest. They tell him that Axley must be back at the tavern, but he seems suspicious. Axley and Khonnos escape from the ship, with a little help from an ancient ultra-rare artifact. Ulgrat comes back to the dock watch station and tries to settle the matter of damage caused by Khonnos and Axley exiting the suspected pirate ship. At the end of the negotiations the group leaves the island, possibly for the last time. Debrief: The group discusses some magical items they found, where they want to go next, and how not-fun it is to watch the DM play out conversations between two or more NPCs. The whole point is to make things fun, so even if the players make odd choices or they roll so poorly that things go terribly wrong, the DM needs to be able to provide opportunities for the group to turn it around and salvage the situation.

D&DeBrief episode 008 - Is This a Pirate Ship I See Before Me? Summary: This session the PCs split up! Marcel and Khonnos go to the agent's office of the Company of the Eastern Sun to see if they can get a map showing them the way to Kalport. Meanwhile, Emmeryn and Axley head to the tavern to ask Glafeis and Taruma about the name Ientarsus, which was inscribed on the fork-like tool Emmeryn found on King Crab Island. They find out some surprising information about Ientarsus and his connection to the Dwarven People from none other than Ulgrat, the Dock-Watch Captain. He tells them a DARK TALE about a shameful point in the history of the Dwarf Clans involving King Ientarsus and Dalencia, Queen of Souls, that culminated the destruction of an entire race of people. The party eventually comes together again and sets about selling some goods and obtaining supplies for their upcoming month-long journey. While trying to find a buyer for black powder, Axley sees a ship that flies a flag strangely similar to the one flown by The Red Tooth Society, a known group of pirates!

D&DeBrief episode 009 - Hijinks Ensue! Summary: Khonnos and Axley have sneaked onto the pirate ship under the cover of an invisibility spell. They search the ship and find that one of the cargo holds of the ship contains strange sacs of bluish fleshy material. Closer inspection by Khonnos reveals that they are blue goblin eggs incubating in the hold! They also find a room full of magical artifacts, no doubt stolen during the crew's piratical adventures. Lastly, they find a huge metal barrel that looks out of place aboard the ship. Axley finds a way to open the barrel and they discover that this is much more than a large tin can! Meanwhile, as Emmeryn and Marcel wait on the docks, they are approached by a two halflings. One introduces himself as Dawmer Brittlespoon and expresses that they are looking for their cousin, Axley Tillingquest. They tell him that Axley must be back at the tavern, but he seems suspicious. Axley and Khonnos escape from the ship, with a little help from an ancient ultra-rare artifact. Ulgrat comes back to the dock watch station and tries to settle the matter of damage caused by Khonnos and Axley exiting the suspected pirate ship. At the end of the negotiations the group leaves the island, possibly for the last time. Debrief: The group discusses some magical items they found, where they want to go next, and how not-fun it is to watch the DM play out conversations between two or more NPCs. The whole point is to make things fun, so even if the players make odd choices or they roll so poorly that things go terribly wrong, the DM needs to be able to provide opportunities for the group to turn it around and salvage the situation.

D&DeBrief episode 008 - Is This a Pirate Ship I See Before Me? Summary: This session the PCs split up! Marcel and Khonnos go to the agent's office of the Company of the Eastern Sun to see if they can get a map showing them the way to Kalport. Meanwhile, Emmeryn and Axley head to the tavern to ask Glafeis and Taruma about the name Ientarsus, which was inscribed on the fork-like tool Emmeryn found on King Crab Island. They find out some surprising information about Ientarsus and his connection to the Dwarven People from none other than Ulgrat, the Dock-Watch Captain. He tells them a DARK TALE about a shameful point in the history of the Dwarf Clans involving King Ientarsus and Dalencia, Queen of Souls, that culminated the destruction of an entire race of people. The party eventually comes together again and sets about selling some goods and obtaining supplies for their upcoming month-long journey. While trying to find a buyer for black powder, Axley sees a ship that flies a flag strangely similar to the one flown by The Red Tooth Society, a known group of pirates!

D&DeBrief episode 005 - Crabs in White Satin Summary: This session sees Marcel rejoining the group. They sneakily make their way to the standing stones where several half-crab half-man creatures are in the midst of performing a ritual. Combat ensues and the ritual is interrupted, but not before Axley and Khonnos get covered in goop, again! What does a captured half-crab-man tell the group? What do they find in the middle of the standing stones? Debrief: The team ends the episode with more discussion of theater of the mind and having helpful sketches, but not tactical maps, available during the game. Also discussed... the value of having overlapping areas of expertise between different PCs, using spells for interesting effects (breaking concentration), and is there a difference between a history check and a memory check?

A Coral Dog, a SkullSword, and a Book of Proofs! The party debates what to do with the dog-creature in the Hokka Temple and also try to decide what statement to write into the Book of Proofs for evaluation. As they make their plans for their journey to the temple they find Blaxley Chillingquest sitting in front of the skull sword they can't shake off. He tries to convince Axley to wield the sword and the group gets the idea the sword speaks to Blaxley. They make their way into the depths of the temple where the coral dog is to be found.

Axley and Reyla are 'stuck' in the Curiosity with Blaxley Chillingquest and Toddeus. While the Goat discusses how to run a guild with Blaxley, Axley tries to comfort Reyla and find out if she knows anything. Meanwhile, back in the Chamber of Eyes, Marcel, Emmeryn, and Khonnos figure out how to destroy the dog statue and then Emmeryn calls on her Goddess Goras to help get them out of the Temple safely. The group is finally reunited and makes their way off of the Dark Plateau. Axley pilots the Curiosity safely back to the Tempest's Fortune and the group tries to figure out what the heck Leralak is and what he is doing. When they arrive, they find there is another ship - a large galleon - floating in the ocean a few hundred feet away from the Tempest's Fortune. There has been a message delivered by some blue goblins requesting a duel and there is a herd of sharks circling the group's ship. They set about devising a plan to deal with the pirates. Debrief: We discuss the importance of being flexible when a player makes a PC that is specialized for a particular environment or type of campaign, but then the game ends up putting the PCs predominantly in a different environment or the entire campaign takes off in an unexpected direction.Have comments, questions, feedback, or suggestions for DeBrief topics?

The Protectorate wolf pack is on the prowl for their stolen wolf pack sleeve. Kovacs takes out criminals to coax information out of Trepp. Kovacks tracks down Durov and Okada, partners of Axley only to have Quell appear, kill them and make an impression. The Wolf Pack using a biotracker arrives shortly thereafter and take Kovacs in, who is incapable of taking out Carrera due to his wolf dna incorporated into his sleeve.

Axley and Marcel decide to investigate the Curiosity to try and find out how fast it can travel. They stumble upon a blue goblin infestation on the island and rush back to the village to tell everyone about their findings. Meanwhile, Khonnos and Emmeryn meet with the Hokka people to discuss their plans. Upon hearing news of the goblins, Khonnos instructs them to destroy the threat while he goes with Axley, Marcel, and Emmeryn to fight a different foe. The group then departs the island and tests the ability of the Curiosity to travel between planes. They find themselves in a darker place with different rules of behavior and a price to pay. They meet the corrupt town guards and Axley makes a brazen attempt at deception. Finally, they figure out where they are supposed to go, and it is larger than they thought! How are they going to get in there?Debrief: This episode we discuss Player Knowledge vs Character Knowledge. Also... How does a DM handle it when a particular PC has a better chance to know something compared to a different PC? How does a player handle it when there is a difference in what the PC knows compared to the player? Does this knowledge ever conflict with player agency? We touch on the idea of participation vs being an audience member, and whether a DM tells the players what their PCs missed when they are done with an adventure.Have comments, questions, feedback, or suggestions for DeBrief topics?

Sharing about how she found out that she was pregnant during her freshman year of college, told her parents, faced the truth that the father didn't want to be involved, and still stayed in college, Hannah Axley honestly sheds light on what it is like to be a single Christian mom.
The Tempest's Fortune sets out for Kalport but finds itself battered by a storm and suffering damage. As the deluge subsides they assess the hull and find themselves face to face with an elusive Hokka. While waiting for the Hokka to return with help the group investigates a set of 4 rods found by Axley. Khonnos activates one and a goat springs forth, introducing himself and offering advice. The Hokka return and tow the ship to a small, uncharted island. After hosting a feast for the crew, the Hokka presents Captain Emmeryn with a gift and a task.Debrief: DM Samuel checks in with the group to make sure that each of the players feels comfortable with their PC's abilities and capabilities. The group also discusses the end of this story arc, how many sessions are left, and what to do after this campaign is over. Options Abound! The group also discusses accelerated leveling and the consequences of that, as well as how the magical items in the game affect the story.Maps Used in the Game:The Gormer Chain, where Trastenfen is located:https://www.dropbox.com/s/8k2eqia6gzfuusb/Gormer%20Chain%20Map%20for%20players.pdf?dl=0The region to the West of Trastenfen, as per the map from the Company ofthe Eastern Sun:https://www.dropbox.com/s/3w5dlw0h3yzs0de/Sea%20of%20Intovyn%20Known%20map%20via%20Company%20of%20Eastern%20Sun.pdf?dl=0Image of the Hokka:https://www.dropbox.com/s/30wj0o2bzkcoltb/hokka_02.jpg?dl=0Image of the eye symbol seen on the tunics of the sailors:https://www.dropbox.com/s/4wcihvs3iu8d4u6/eye%20embroidered%20on%20tunic%20of%20sailors.jpg?dl=0Image of the eye symbol with longer tentacles on the stems:https://www.dropbox.com/s/01dtiorkspywncy/eye%20embroidered%20with%20long%20stems.PNG?dl=0Dramatis Personae:DMSamuel (DM) on Twitter: @DMSamuelNina (Emmeryn, Human Cleric of Goras) on Twitter: @n_bayes3Karu (Marcel, Lutrinian Sorcerer) on Twitter: @mystarseedMatt (Khonnos, Sea Elf Warlock) on Twitter: @mbriddellDavid (Axley, Halfling Bard)Patreon for D&Debrief: Patreon.com/RPGMusingsMusic: Mystery by ebunny https://audiojungle.net/item/mystery/4987658D&DeBrief Logo by Amber Seger rocketorca.com
Khonnos and Axley have sneaked onto the pirate ship under the cover of an invisibility spell. They search the ship and find that one of the cargo holds of the ship contains strange sacs of bluish fleshy material. Closer inspection by Khonnos reveals that they are blue goblin eggs incubating in the hold! They also find a room full of magical artifacts, no doubt stolen during the crew's piratical adventures. Lastly, they find a huge metal barrel that looks out of place aboard the ship. Axley finds a way to open the barrel and they discover that this is much more than a large tin can! Meanwhile, as Emmeryn and Marcel wait on the docks, they are approached by a two halflings. One introduces himslef as Dawmer Brittlespoon and expresses that they are looking for their cousin, Axley Tillingquest. They tell him that Axley must be back at the tavern, but he seems suspicious. Axley and Khonnos escape from the ship, with a little help from an ancient utra-rare artifact. Ulgrat comes back to the dock watch station and tries to settle the matter of damage caused by Khonnos and Axley exiting the suspected pirate ship. At the end of the negotiations the group leaves the island, possibly for the last time.Debrief: The group discusses some magical items they found, where they want to go next, and how not-fun it is to watch the DM play out conversations between two or more NPCs. The whole point is to make things fun, so even if the players make odd choices or they roll so poorly that things go terribly wrong, the DM needs to be able to provide opportunities for the group to turn it around and salvage the situation.Maps Used in the Game:The Gormer Chain, where Trastenfen is located:https://www.dropbox.com/s/8k2eqia6gzfuusb/Gormer%20Chain%20Map%20for%20players.pdf?dl=0The region to the West of Trastenfen, as per the map from the Company ofthe Eastern Sun:https://www.dropbox.com/s/3w5dlw0h3yzs0de/Sea%20of%20Intovyn%20Known%20map%20via%20Company%20of%20Eastern%20Sun.pdf?dl=0Image of the eye symbol seen on the tunics of the sailors:https://www.dropbox.com/s/4wcihvs3iu8d4u6/eye%20embroidered%20on%20tunic%20of%20sailors.jpg?dl=0Image of the eye symbol with longer tentacles on the stems:https://www.dropbox.com/s/01dtiorkspywncy/eye%20embroidered%20with%20long%20stems.PNG?dl=0Dramatis Personae:DMSamuel (DM) on Twitter: @DMSamuelNina (Emmeryn, Human Cleric of Goras) on Twitter: @n_bayes3Karu (Marcel, Lutrinian Sorcerer) on Twitter: @mystarseedMatt (Khonnos, Sea Elf Warlock) on Twitter: @mbriddellDavid (Axley, Halfling Bard)Patreon for D&Debrief: Patreon.com/RPGMusingsMusic: Mystery by ebunny https://audiojungle.net/item/mystery/4987658D&DeBrief Logo by Amber Seger rocketorca.com
This session the PCs split up! Marcel and Khonnos go to the agent's office of the Company of the Eastern Sun to see if they can get a map showing them the way to Kalport. Meanwhile, Emmeryn and Axley head to the tavern to ask Glafeis and Taruma about the name Ientarsus, which was inscribed on the fork-like tool Emmeryn found on King Crab Island. They find out some surprising information about Ientarsus and his connection to the Dwarven People from none other than Ulgrat, the Dock-Watch Captain. He tells them a DARK TALE about a shameful point in the history of the Dwarf Clans involving King Ientarsus and Dalencia, Queen of Souls, that culminated the destruction of an entire race of people. The party eventually comes together again and sets about selling some goods and obtaining supplies for their upcoming month-long journey. While trying to find a buyer for black powder, Axley sees a ship that flies a flag strangely similar to the one flown by The Red Tooth Society, a known group of pirates! The group investigates the ship, meeting Ulgrat's second in command in the process. What do they do with the ship? Blow it up? Reduce/Enlarge it? Report it to the authorities? Deciding that they need to get proof that the disguised ship is a pirate vessel, Axley and Khonnos board the ship under cover of invisibility!Maps Used in the Game:The Gormer Chain, where Trastenfen is located:https://www.dropbox.com/s/8k2eqia6gzfuusb/Gormer%20Chain%20Map%20for%20players.pdf?dl=0The region to the West of Trastenfen, as per the map from the Company ofthe Eastern Sun:https://www.dropbox.com/s/3w5dlw0h3yzs0de/Sea%20of%20Intovyn%20Known%20map%20via%20Company%20of%20Eastern%20Sun.pdf?dl=0Image of the eye symbol seen on the tunics of the sailors:https://www.dropbox.com/s/4wcihvs3iu8d4u6/eye%20embroidered%20on%20tunic%20of%20sailors.jpg?dl=0Image of the eye symbol with longer tentacles on the stems:https://www.dropbox.com/s/01dtiorkspywncy/eye%20embroidered%20with%20long%20stems.PNG?dl=0Dramatis Personae:DMSamuel (DM) on Twitter: @DMSamuelNina (Emmeryn, Human Cleric of Goras) on Twitter: @n_bayes3Karu (Marcel, Lutrinian Sorcerer) on Twitter: @mystarseedMatt (Khonnos, Sea Elf Warlock) on Twitter: @mbriddellDavid (Axley, Halfling Bard)Patreon for D&Debrief: Patreon.com/RPGMusingsMusic: Mystery by ebunny https://audiojungle.net/item/mystery/4987658D&DeBrief Logo by Amber Seger rocketorca.com
This session sees Marcel rejoining the group. They sneakily make their way to the standing stones where several half-crab half-man creatures are in the midst of performing a ritual. Combat ensues and the ritual is interrupted, but not before Axley and Khonnos get covered in goop, again! What does a captured half-crab-man tell the group? What do they find in the middle of the standing stones?DeBrief: The team ends the episode with more discussion of theater of the mind and having helpful sketches, but not tactical maps, available during the game. Also discussed... the value of having overlapping areas of expertise between different PCs, using spells for interesting effects (breaking concentration), and is there a difference between a history check and a memory check? Can you use a perception check to remember something?So that you can follow along, here is a map of the Gormer Chain, where Trastenfen is located: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8k2eqia6gzfuusb/Gormer%20Chain%20Map%20for%20players.pdf?dl=0Dramatis Personae:DMSamuel (DM) on Twitter: @DMSamuelNina (Emmeryn, Human Cleric of Goras) on Twitter: @n_bayes3Karu (Marcel, Lutrinian Sorcerer) on Twitter: @mystarseedMatt (Khonnos, Sea Elf Warlock) on Twitter: @mbriddellDavid (Axley, Halfling Bard)Patreon for D&Debrief: Patreon.com/RPGMusingsMusic: Mystery by ebunny https://audiojungle.net/item/mystery/4987658D&DeBrief Logo by Amber Seger rocketorca.com
