Last time on the Bestow Curse podcast, our heroes confronted Belshallam, an umbral dragon seemingly chained by Cazovan to do his bidding. Efforts to free the dragon of its enslavement ultimately proved unsuccessful and the dragon once again rears back it's head to deliver another punishing breath attack. Will this wave of void damage extinguish the party's light and lives?

Join us for a hands-on worldbuilding exercise as we create a sea creature by answering these eight questions: What type of being is the sea creature—biological, spiritual, celestial, etc.? What does its body look like? How is it shaped by the depth, currents, and/or pressure of the water? How did the sea creature come into existence? Creation, transformation, evolution, punishment? How does the sea creature move, breathe, feed, and survive in its ocean environment? What role does the sea creature play in the ocean's balance? What rules, instincts, or laws govern the sea creature's behavior? What powers, if any, does the sea creature possess? What are the costs of using those powers? What kind of myths are told about the sea creature? What truths and distortions do those myths contain?

Last time on the Bestow Curse podcast, our remaining heroes met with the rebel war council and planned their next moves. Sylvie is to lead a team to complete the breaching festival at the Academae while Vek journeys to Castle Scarwall to retrieve Sirithial, the magical sword which felled Kazovan once before.

Last time on the Bestow Curse podcast, Mir and Diego were captured by Kordaitra and her minions while Sylvie and Vek made their escape. Sazzy stayed with the heroes now imprisoned in the Black Cells and through him they were able to get messages to their free party members. Discussions of revolution moved forward outside the prison amidst this humbling defeat but the recent setback presents a challenging timeline. Now with conflicting priorities, a devil giving Sylvie orders, the pull of ancient Castle Scarwall, and the inevitable looming execution of their long time traveling companions, will Sylvie and Vek make the right moves to topple the queen without their long time companions?
