There, they find that someone has left them something, but also find that Zek, their resident kobold alchemist, has come close to giving his life to guard it until their return. They discover their portable "starter dragon hoard" and are treated to a visit from the Sentinel of the Sand (in Elven form) who sorts out the misunderstanding with an awe-struck Zek.

How will the Inner Enclave folks react, both to the song and to the culture of the Outer Enclave? Add to that, several special guests including Father Underwood of the Temple of Dresphine, Master Sorcerer Aralahkis, and Lord Tremane himself (in disguise)!

It looks like things will remain civil until a surprise announcement has Gwenlaryn speaking her mind and then things turn... icy. Afterwards, Gwenlaryn goes to Athgar's house (alone) and tries to talk him into leaving Thunder's Edge with the Four.

When the wolf returns, he leads the group to a warehouse on the western edge of Costead's Wave where, according to him, Sigrith's scent stops. From there, it becomes a matter of figuring out how to gain access to the warehouse without alerting any passers-by, and once that's accomplished, finding Sigrith and getting her our alive. Unfortunately, it is nowhere near that simple, and The Four are hard-pressed to keep everyone alive, let alone triumph over seemingly overwhelming odds.

From the sheer awfulness of the Menagerie to the squalid conditions at the Laughing Orc, the "city" feels more foreign than anywhere else the Four+ have traveled! After a run-in with a mysterious old woman, the adventurers and their companions retire to Tasha's mansion to plan, and Gwenlaryn scouts the location the old woman has asked them to travel to which seems to be a trap. Choosing to spring the trap, five of the eight companions enter the farm while the other three remain outside, ready to charge in at a moment's notice!

Yeleen gets up to investigate the creaking of the floor and is sent to another room until it's safe. Unfortunately, when Gwenlaryn enters Zagrin's bedroom, he's awake and armed. A fight ensues which almost costs one of the group their life, but ends in a more or less satisfactory way. Then Leena arrives to take care of Yeleen and her children as the Four head out toward Strafshome, hoping that the promised distraction from Leena's group will allow them quick and easy access through the gates, and then it'll be off to Yaesef's Keep and the final confrontation with the leader of Strafsoman's End, and the third (and hopefully final) confrontation with the evil cleric Parc! https://www.artifactsworldswide.com/podcasts/AWW-LoA_Ep82.mp3 Mon, 21 Mar 2022 06:00:00 EDT 3:16:37 dnd5e, artifacts, worldswide, worldwide, aecathan, jeff smith, nikki grams, pam christian, annette pratt, lesley withers, dnd, dungeons, dragons, 5e, 5th, rp, rpg, frpg, ttrpg, role, play, fantasy, dice, improv, voice acting, voice-acting artifactsww@gmail.com (Artifacts Worldswide LLC)yes Artifacts Worldswide One down, one to go - the Four and their allies must get into Strafsohome, invade Yaesef's Keep, and free the 'End once and for all!

Once inside, the group encounters some formidable animated armor, then heads to the second floor in pursuit of the Zuaran Cleric, Parc, who they believe to be with Yaesef. After fighting a quartet of odd, lightning-fast black skeletons in plate armor, the group is addressed magically by Yaesef himself, instructing Tasha to come into a specific room so that they can 'talk.' https://www.artifactsworldswide.com/podcasts/AWW-LoA_Ep83.mp3 Mon, 28 Mar 2022 06:00:00 EDT 3:17:23 dnd5e, artifacts, worldswide, worldwide, aecathan, jeff smith, nikki grams, pam christian, annette pratt, lesley withers, dnd, dungeons, dragons, 5e, 5th, rp, rpg, frpg, ttrpg, role, play, fantasy, dice, improv, voice acting, voice-acting artifactsww@gmail.com (Artifacts Worldswide LLC)yes Artifacts Worldswide It's the final showdown between the Four+ versus the wicked Yaesef Strafsoman and his lover, the evil Zuaran Priestess Parc Naxxremis!

They contact Viessa Vexx who is, as Aribell puts it, "creepily happy" about getting fresh corpses. They then receive a visit from Viscountess Duneshadow's new majordomo, Toske, who brings them an invitation from Gwen to come to dinner at her new estate. There, Gwen announces her intention to remain in Aermagh and pursue being an ambassador full-time, especially after receiving Athgarr's note. The others try to convince her otherwise, and they table the discussion to head to the Shouting Pirate where Jojo has closed the tavern for the evening for a private celebration of the Four's successes and commendations that morning. After Aribell and Zorith head to Thunder's Edge and return with Oloric, Wiggy, and Aralahkis, the evening becomes one of drinking and discussing with those in attendence, including Lord and Lady Thebes!

She returns his amulet, but reveals he borrowed another one from the church armory before departing. The group then meets with Ser Erelo about Aribell's wish to be considered for the ultimate gift to any paladin: A Holy Avenging Sword. Ser Erelo explains that it requires completion of a task and an official conclave, but that she can send Aribell on a task that may be worthy - to investigate why the north-shore Watchpost has fallen silent and those who were recently relieved haven't returned to campus. After discovering the horror of the truth, they return and meet with Father Dilbiss, delivering Lady Leena's request for Tirauran clergy to establish a temple in Strafsoman's Dawn. They then teleport to the Tower of Azinor to return the amulets they borrowed, and learn from Master Obras that there may be spells which would enable one to defend themselves against the Thuilnu powers.

There, Arahalkis' senior apprentice, Sten, reads an ancient story talking of the Chromatic Dragons, the Metallic Dragons, and a type of dragon known as Gemstone Dragons. When she finishes, Lord Tremane speaks and tells the assembled that the Metallic Septs are all welcome in Thunder's Edge, and should be treated as citizens all, and treated with respect. He then learns that Tasha is in the audience and requests that she perform "The Lost Guardians of Aecathan." She does so, and as she finishes, Gaeghointulth, the Sentinel of the Sands, settles onto the stage. Gaygo speaks, identifying the Four as dragon-kin, and revealing that the Sus'Haryn are the "Children of the Dragon." Her speech is interrupted by a group of Jogravanans who launch a magical attack against the dragon, but who are almost immediately killed by a dozen other Metallic Dragons who were hidden in the crowd in their bipedal forms. Gaygo states that the Sentinel of the Sands will always help guard Thunder's Edge against the evil gods and their minions. Gaygo then meets the Children of Thunder's Edge, before leaving with the Four to return to the Sus'Haryn camp for an evening of revelry. There, the group is joined by Oloric, Hue, Sar, Cara, Urmon, and Mother Tassa. Tales are told, drinks are consumed, and eventually people pass out, including Urmon. After a night's sleep, Jojo and Viessa are fetched from Aermagh to join the festivities. Viessa and Mother Tassa appear to bond after a walking discussion, and Urmon and Jojo are reunited after many years of separation. The Four discuss their future plans over breakfast, and Gaygo discloses a bit more about the fate of the Gemstone Dragons. https://www.artifactsworldswide.com/podcasts/AWW-LoA_Ep91.mp3 Mon, 23 May 2022 06:00:00 EDT 3:41:52 dnd5e, artifacts, worldswide, worldwide, aecathan, jeff smith, nikki grams, pam christian, annette pratt, lesley withers, dnd, dungeons, dragons, 5e, 5th, rp, rpg, frpg, ttrpg, role, play, fantasy, dice, improv, voice acting, voice-acting artifactsww@gmail.com (Artifacts Worldswide LLC)yes Artifacts Worldswide An unpleasant meeting with Lord Tremane leads the Four to their next adventure, followed by a farewell to the Sus'Haryn, for now at least! Episode 92: After breakfast with the Sus'Haryn, Aralahkis leads the Four, and Mother Tassa, to meet with Lord Tremane, leader of Thunder's Edge. They discuss their new Sept status, as well as Gwen's nobility and Athgarr's having been awarded the Platinum Star. He then asks them to investigate the silence from the Jogravanans and discover whether they are planning some sort of massive attack or have had their attention drawn elsewhere. Afterwards, the Four return to the Sys'Haryn camp and split up for a bit of personal time. Gwen watches from the roof of the Fourhome for a bit before joining the dancers. Aribell decides to spent some time in the camp's kitchen area making desert pear tarts, while Tasha and Zorith just kick back on the grass and watch the festivities. Gwen laments constantly being asked about Athgarr's whereabouts, and then Zorith teleports Jojo, Viessa, and Syncryn back home. Before dinner, Gwen and Zorith try to come to terms with their various personal relationship issues and give each other some good advice. During, Mother Tassa inquires of the Four's future plans, relating information on the other Dragon festivals, and teasing Urmon about his fascination with the Druids in the Forest of Amblyantha. After the meal, Zorith decides to head to the Ivorys Wrath to have an honest conversation with Oloric, during which they sort out their relationship to both of their satisfactions. Gwen attempts to secure a bedfellow for the night, but her celebrity turns out to work against her in that respect, while Aribell and Urmon discuss a heretofore unspoken rule of the Sus'Haryn. The following morning, after flying lessons for Zorith, the Four say farewell to the Sus'Haryn, and prepare to investigate the recent Jogravanan silence. https://www.artifactsworldswide.com/podcasts/AWW-LoA_Ep92.mp3 Mon, 30 May 2022 06:00:00 EDT 3:48:49 dnd5e, artifacts, worldswide, worldwide, aecathan, jeff smith, nikki grams, pam christian, annette pratt, lesley withers, dnd, dungeons, dragons, 5e, 5th, rp, rpg, frpg, ttrpg, role, play, fantasy, dice, improv, voice acting, voice-acting artifactsww@gmail.com (Artifacts Worldswide LLC)yes Artifacts Worldswide The Godswrath desert is immense, and terrifying creatures await unsuspecting travelers! Episode 93: The Four prepare to travel into the Godswrath Desert, at the behest of Lord Tremane, to discover why the Jogravanans haven't been attacking Thunder's Edge over the last four weeks. Before they depart, they avail themselves of the wisdom of the Sentinel of the Sands, who informs them of an oasis in the desert that serves as a way-station for those traveling west toward the Dunesmount. Atop their flying carbet, the Four head into the desert, utilizing their magics to keep themselves cool and rested. Near the end of their second day of travel, so far uneventful, they are accosted by a handful of undead ogres who rise up out of the sands and attack. As the group prepares to deal with them, an enormous mottled and skeletal dragon, vestiges of blue dragonscale hanging on its body, rises from the sands and demands tribute to allow the group to pass unmolested... but can they find an amount the undead beast will accept? https://www.artifactsworldswide.com/podcasts/AWW-LoA_Ep93.mp3 Mon, 20 Jun 2022 06:00:00 EDT 3:31:40 dnd5e, artifacts, worldswide, worldwide, aecathan, jeff smith, nikki grams, pam christian, annette pratt, lesley withers, dnd, dungeons, dragons, 5e, 5th, rp, rpg, frpg, ttrpg, role, play, fantasy, dice, improv, voice acting, voice-acting artifactsww@gmail.com (Artifacts Worldswide LLC)yes Artifacts Worldswide What could be worse than a Jogravanan caravan? A surprise appearance by a rude and condescending stranger!! Episode 94: Traveling even further into the deadly Godswrath desert, the Four stumble upon a massive caravan from the Temple of Jogravana, headed in the same general direction, at least according the Sentinel of the Sands, of the Firefly Oasis. Unfortunately, they seem to be relying on slave labor, something that sits poorly with both Aribell and Gwenlaryn. After a long time deliberating different strategies to help the slaves, their planning is interrupted by a mysterious stranger who appears in their midst, warns them against taking on the caravan alone, and vanishes. Eventually, the group retreats to do more planning in Tasha's mansion. They contact Gaeghointulth and invite her to dinner to strategize, and Aribell decides to extend an olive branch to the mysterious stranger and invite him to the meeting as well, to which he curtly accepts. At dinner, he names himself Cannethagalen, Canneth for short, and reveals the instructions he receive from the person who hired him, and the Four figure out it was their friend Wiggy from Thunder's Edge. Gaegho agrees to check in on the FIrefly Oasis, which she has not visited since before the Shattering, suggesting that if the Four were to follow her there, they'd be able to find it more easily. Canneth turns down their offer to stay the night in the mansion after he and Gwen spent dinner exchanging insults, and vanishes in the desert. https://www.artifactsworldswide.com/podcasts/AWW-LoA_Ep94.mp3 Mon, 27 Jun 2022 06:00:00 EDT 4:14:30 dnd5e, artifacts, worldswide, worldwide, aecathan, jeff smith, nikki grams, pam christian, annette pratt, lesley withers, dnd, dungeons, dragons, 5e, 5th, rp, rpg, frpg, ttrpg, role, play, fantasy, dice, improv, voice acting, voice-acting artifactsww@gmail.com (Artifacts Worldswide LLC)yes Artifacts Worldswide In the exotic Firefly Oasis, surprises await that even the Four couldn't have anticipated! Episode 95: After a day's rapid travel, the Four and Gaeghointulth arrive at the lush Firefly Oasis. They head immediately to the water, but choose instead to take their ease in the Delirious Traveler, an Inn run by the obsequious Bundrigo Jamarre. While there, Aribell tests out a method of tracking the elusive Cannath and succeed, although she fails to convince the elf to join them again. Afterwards, Bundrigo sends them to someone named Theo for answers. After encountering a laconic desert panther along the way, they find an elderly blind ranger who ends up asking them more questions than answering theirs. After turning his attention to Gwenlaryn for a period of time, he sends her to get him water from the lake and, when she returns, learns her face with his hands. He then asks her full name, and begins to choke up before revealing that he is Gwen's grandfather. He also reveals that Gwen has an Uncle and a cousin living in the Oasis as well. After several minutes of coming to terms with this new information, Theo and his panther companion Preez take them to meet Gwen's cousin Arona the Alchemist, and her Uncle Rynnald who is a master bowyer and fletcher. After making arrangements to meet back at Rynnald's for dinner, the Four set out to explore the rest of the settled Oasis. https://www.artifactsworldswide.com/podcasts/AWW-LoA_Ep95.mp3 Mon, 4 Jul 2022 06:00:00 EDT 2:59:21 dnd5e, artifacts, worldswide, worldwide, aecathan, jeff smith, nikki grams, pam christian, annette pratt, lesley withers, dnd, dungeons, dragons, 5e, 5th, rp, rpg, frpg, ttrpg, role, play, fantasy, dice, improv, voice acting, voice-acting artifactsww@gmail.com (Artifacts Worldswide LLC)yes Artifacts Worldswide After a bit of shopping, the Four meet with the leader of the Firefly Oasis and come up with a startlingly good plan to free the Jogravanan slaves!

They also meet with Glintefkaem "Tef" Yus, the elected leader of the Oasis community. After bringing him up-to-speed on many of the events of Central Aecathan, including the fact that there IS a functioning Central Aecathan, they turn their attentions to the incoming Jogravanan caravan, and Aribell and Gwenlaryn's intent to free as many of the slaves as possible. Rynaald, Arona, Gaegho, Tef, and the Four cook up an ingenious plan in which the Four will be pivotal players, but will (if successful) cause no violence whatsoever, and will likely result in the Jogravanans experiencing some significant discomfort as they continue their journey to wherever they're headed! https://www.artifactsworldswide.com/podcasts/AWW-LoA_Ep96.mp3 Mon, 11 Jul 2022 06:00:00 EDT 3:23:59 dnd5e, artifacts, worldswide, worldwide, aecathan, jeff smith, nikki grams, pam christian, annette pratt, lesley withers, dnd, dungeons, dragons, 5e, 5th, rp, rpg, frpg, ttrpg, role, play, fantasy, dice, improv, voice acting, voice-acting artifactsww@gmail.com (Artifacts Worldswide LLC)yes Artifacts Worldswide The caravan has been sighted, now the plan begins... but will the Jogravanans negotiate with the Four and the Oasis in good faith? Episode 97: After a lovely breakfast with Gwen's cousin Arona in Tasha's mansion, the Four go out to find the Chieftain of the Oasis in his home to coordinate meeting with representatives from the Jogravanan caravan and informing them of the change in procedure for securing water. After Tef picks up the potions that allow access to the Oasis water, and Drigo sets out tables and chairs, the Jogravanans arrive. The meeting between Tef and the squad of guards sent in to secure the water purchase ends with the guards leaving unsatisfied. Tef informs the Four that there will be another delegation, likely the leaders of the caravan, coming back to 'discuss' the demand that the Jogravanans pay for the water with their slaves. Tef and Drigo come up with a way to disguise the Four so they can be there at the second meeting. The guard captain, a priestess of Gedola, and a black-and-red-swathed figure arrive to negotiate, only to end up being forced to accept the Oasis' offer. They settle on an exchange process, letting in one slave for every water-bearer allowed to leave. This does leave 3/4 of the slaves outside the Oasis, however, and the Jogravanans prove true to their reputation as they attempt to kill the remaining slaves as retribution for being forced to release them. The Four spring into action and attempt to save as many as they can but... how many lives will be lost to the Jogravanan betrayal? https://www.artifactsworldswide.com/podcasts/AWW-LoA_Ep97.mp3 Mon, 18 Jul 2022 06:00:00 EDT 4:13:27 dnd5e, artifacts, worldswide, worldwide, aecathan, jeff smith, nikki grams, pam christian, annette pratt, lesley withers, dnd, dungeons, dragons, 5e, 5th, rp, rpg, frpg, ttrpg, role, play, fantasy, dice, improv, voice acting, voice-acting artifactsww@gmail.com (Artifacts Worldswide LLC)yes Artifacts Worldswide Almost all of the Jogravanan slaves have been liberated, but now it falls to the Four to take figure out what happens to them now! Episode 98: All but four of the Jogravanan slaves are safe! Now comes the task of taking care of them, and that falls squarely on the shoulders of Aribell, Gwenlaryn, Tasha, and Zorith. After hastily reconfiguring her enchanted Mansion, Tasha is prepared to house all of the refugees. Unfortunately, it turns out that none of them speak Common, so they're forced to resort to miming their intentions. Aribell's healing moves the former slaves a step closer to trust, and eventually they get them all into the mansion. Chieftain Tef searches the Oasis for spare clothing and, hopefully, someone who can interpret for the Four, finding 12-year old Nessus, who learned the speech from his Grandfather, who was himself a Jogravanan escapee. After a few missteps, the Four, Tef, and Nessus manage to get everyone cleaned up, in clean clothes, fed, and bedded down for the night. A surprise multi-person message comes in from Obras, although it doesn't work quite as planned, he reveals he's working on an advanced sending spell. A message to Aralahkis gets his agreement to meet the Four and their charges at the Faelifiri Sanctum the next day, and reveals a message (of sorts) from Athgarr. The following morning, the entire large group take their leave of the Firefly Oasis and teleport to the Sanctum, where the living are fed and sheltered, and the dead are brought back to life. Aralakhis arrives with supplies from Thunder's Edge, and teleports back a while later, taking the recalcitrant Canaath with him. That night, the Four meet with the High Curate and the paired leaders of all four temples for a dinner and so the assembled clerics, paladins, and bards can hear the story of how so many slaves came to be rescued in the first place. The adventurers end their day back in the mansion after reassurances from the powers-that-be at the Sanctum that the former Jogravanan slaves will be taken good care of, educated, and trained to live a life as a free individual of Aecathan. https://www.artifactsworldswide.com/podcasts/AWW-LoA_Ep98.mp3 Mon, 08 Aug 2022 06:00:00 EDT 3:48:27 dnd5e, artifacts, worldswide, worldwide, aecathan, jeff smith, nikki grams, pam christian, annette pratt, lesley withers, dnd, dungeons, dragons, 5e, 5th, rp, rpg, frpg, ttrpg, role, play, fantasy, dice, improv, voice acting, voice-acting artifactsww@gmail.com (Artifacts Worldswide LLC)yes Artifacts Worldswide From the Sanctum to Thunder's Edge to Aermagh, the Four must alert several parties to the existence of Western Aecathan!

Then it's off to Thunder's Edge, and a leisurely early morning reunion with Oloric at the Ivorys Wrath, where they hear of Lord Tremane's continued decline in health. Shortly thereafter, Aralahkis arrives to consult with the group, and leads them back to his office in the Lord's Keep, explaining along the way what he's observed regarding his ruler's behavior. Once in the building, Aribell gets in to see Lord Tremane and attempts to diagnose his ailment. Following a hunch, she casts Remove Curse and is somehow able to free Tremane from his confusion. Afterwards, the group begins to suspect the Thuilnu of causing his decline. Gwenlaryn provides him with some magical protection, at least for the next 24 hours, against a recurrence of his malady, after which he requests they continue on their mission to discover what has captured the attention of the Jogravanans. After returning to the Wrath, addressing Wiggy's faux paux with Cannath, and saying their farewells to Oloric, the Four magically transport to the capital city of Aermagh to bring their new from the Oasis to Lord Bonethane. After setting up an appointment with the Lord's seneschal, the ladies swing through the Shouting Pirate and witness a truly stupid bet. After drinks with Jojo, the Four return to the Keep and meet with his Lordship, bringing him up-to-speed on the Oasis, Western Aecathan, and the malady Lord Tremane was suffering from. After asking them to check in on Strafsoman's Dawn before they return to the desert, Bonethane drafts a quick proclamation identifying Aribell, Gwenlaryn, Tasha, and Zorith as official emissaries of the nation of Aecathan, in case it will be helpful. The Four retire to Duneshadow Estate for dinner and preparations for a quick stop in the Dawn before returning to the desert to continue investigating the Jogravanans' intentions and activities. https://www.artifactsworldswide.com/podcasts/AWW-LoA_Ep99.mp3 Mon, 15 Aug 2022 06:00:00 EDT 3:07:56 dnd5e, artifacts, worldswide, worldwide, aecathan, jeff smith, nikki grams, pam christian, annette pratt, lesley withers, dnd, dungeons, dragons, 5e, 5th, rp, rpg, frpg, ttrpg, role, play, fantasy, dice, improv, voice acting, voice-acting artifactsww@gmail.com (Artifacts Worldswide LLC)yes Artifacts Worldswide From new intel in Duneshadow Manor to a frightening battle with a Jogravanan High Inquisitor, the Four are in for an active 24 hours!

After a long talk, a tour of the renovations taking place in town, and a hearty dinner, Lady Leena suggests the Four head over to the newly-named "Sunrise Temple" to Tiraura that is almost completed, to meet its new high Priestess. Upon arriving, however, the four are attacked by fiends and a Jogravanan High Inquisitor armed with a bandoleer of Kylandril sticks!

Fortunately, it turns out that a friend is responsible, and the waking world reasserts itself in its normal fashion. Unfortunately, that's where things begin to take a turn for the worse. Athgarr is not at all as the Four remember him, and the only way he will accompany them on their continuing mission is as hired help. After negotiating his fee, the group heads to Thunder's Edge to pick up supplies. Zorith spends the evening with Oloric at the Ivorys Wrath, after which everyone gets a good night's sleep with no more strange dream adventures. In the morning, after gathering up everything they'll need, Zorith teleports the group back to the Firefly Oasis, in preparation for their journey farther into the unexplored reaches of the Godswrath Desert. https://www.artifactsworldswide.com/podcasts/AWW-LoA_Ep101.mp3 Mon, 05 Sep 2022 06:00:00 EDT 3:25:29 dnd5e, artifacts, worldswide, worldwide, aecathan, jeff smith, nikki grams, pam christian, annette pratt, lesley withers, dnd, dungeons, dragons, 5e, 5th, rp, rpg, frpg, ttrpg, role, play, fantasy, dice, improv, voice acting, voice-acting artifactsww@gmail.com (Artifacts Worldswide LLC)yes Artifacts Worldswide The Four venture past the Dunemount, and deal with a member's growing distress as well as the perils of the Godswrath Desert!

He is understanding, but warns Gwen that Theo is not as forgiving and is rather angry and hurt at her abrupt departure. She then goes to attempt a reconciliation with her grandfather, which starts rather rockily but smooths out when Theo realizes that Gwen has no experience having a family, and thus knows none of the social responsibilities, etc. Meanwhile, back at Bundrigo's tavern, tensions mount as Athgarr remains sullen and mostly silent, to the point where Aribell must step outside to get away from the toxic atmosphere. She encounters Theo and Gwen headed back to meet back up with everyone, and once they all go back into the tavern, a silent battle of wills begins between Theo and Athgarr, culimating in Theo asking Athgarr to step outside for "a talk." Gwen tries to stop it from happening, then Aribell does stop it. Shortly thereafter, the Four, Athgarr, and Gaygo leave to pursue the caravan. After finding it some days later, and choosing to pass it, they reach the fabled Dunemount, and discover some strange magical behavior once they reach its summit. https://www.artifactsworldswide.com/podcasts/AWW-LoA_Ep102.mp3 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 06:00:00 EDT 3:35:44 dnd5e, artifacts, worldswide, worldwide, aecathan, jeff smith, nikki grams, pam christian, annette pratt, lesley withers, dnd, dungeons, dragons, 5e, 5th, rp, rpg, frpg, ttrpg, role, play, fantasy, dice, improv, voice acting, voice-acting artifactsww@gmail.com (Artifacts Worldswide LLC)yes Artifacts Worldswide The Four venture past the Dunemount, and deal with a member's growing distress as well as the perils of the Godswrath Desert!

After Zorith receives a message from Master Obras, she and Gaygo utilize a teleportation circle and arrive at the Tower of Azinor. Zorith retrieves their new Amulets of Proof Against Location and Detection, along with spare clothing should the Four encounter any additional slaves to rescue, and teleports back to the Dunemount. The first night past the Dunemount, when Tasha attempts to cast her mansion, something about the area causes a very painful backlash, injuring her for half her health, but she is able to get into the mansion with her comrades and the group manages another peaceful night's rest. The next morning, Aribell tries to cure whatever is affecting Athgarr, to no avail. Leaving the mansion, they find themselves surrounded by undead, which attack en masse. After the battle, they departand the desert gives way to hills, which later gives way to prairie grasslands. Toward the evening, they see a newly-built wooden-walled city in the distance. Athgarr uses a Legend Lore spell to learn the name of the city and something of its purpose, which is not at all good, and the group tries to decide what avenue to pursue from this point on. https://www.artifactsworldswide.com/podcasts/AWW-LoA_Ep103.mp3 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 06:00:00 EDT 3:35:44 dnd5e, artifacts, worldswide, worldwide, aecathan, jeff smith, nikki grams, pam christian, annette pratt, lesley withers, dnd, dungeons, dragons, 5e, 5th, rp, rpg, frpg, ttrpg, role, play, fantasy, dice, improv, voice acting, voice-acting artifactsww@gmail.com (Artifacts Worldswide LLC)yes Artifacts Worldswide After a quick scouting of the Jogravanan outpost, a trip to the Sanctum offers insight, much-needed healing, and a forging long overdue.

While he is recovering, Gwenlaryn and Zorith go on a shopping trip for clothes suitable for any other slaves they might rescue, plus sacks to use organizing the coins in their portable hole. While they're away, Aribell is intercepted by her order's leader, Sir Erelo, and she is taken to the master forge below the Temple of Balmous and introduced to priest and weaponsmith Durald, who instructs her in how to forge a mithril longsword.

As the sun sets, the group comes within distant sight of the city, but chooses to stop for the night in Tasha's Magnificent Mansion. After a brief warm-up, it's decided that Gwen and Athgarr will take the carpet and do some nighttime recon of the city. The city is quiet, with lights on in a few of the buildings but, strangely enough, not a soul out on the streets. The next morning, the Four set off, concealed by their magics, to the farm on the southwest end of the city, where they witness an orc sitting at the breakfast table with two humans and the woman who apparently owns the farm. Still concealed, they explore the edge of the city and discover a temple to Balmous. They drop their concealment, and while searching for the Temple of Tiraura, encounter a group of Orcs acting as city guards.

When the evening arrived, the group assembled also included the High Enchanter Ahagan Unvusim from the Tower and the High Curate, Awinita Nokomis from the Sanctum. After verifying that none of the attendees had had their memories changed in any way, Mother Tassa was able to provide the group with some much needed intelligence on the Thuilnu, although she admitted that her knowledge of the Thuilnu is over a century old at this point. Based on that information, the group began to formulate a plan to return to Ballinamard, seek out the Thuilnu conclave beneath the city and, with the help of some promised assistance from the Tower and the Sanctum, wipe it out. A plan was then put in place to meet again the following evening to finalize strategies and then put the plan of attack in motion. https://www.artifactsworldswide.com/podcasts/AWW-LoA_Ep107.mp3 Mon, 24 Oct 2022 06:00:00 EDT 3:15:17 dnd5e, artifacts, worldswide, worldwide, aecathan, jeff smith, nikki grams, pam christian, annette pratt, lesley withers, dnd, dungeons, dragons, 5e, 5th, rp, rpg, frpg, ttrpg, role, play, fantasy, dice, improv, voice acting, voice-acting artifactsww@gmail.com (Artifacts Worldswide LLC)yes Artifacts Worldswide Meetings, with Viessa, Jojo, Obras, and Mother Tassa, as well as old friends and new adventurers, make for a full day!

Tasha contacts Corporal Hering "Vines" Cherrier, an old traveling companion of theirs, and asks if he can join them for the assault on the Thuilnu. After Jas cleans up and dons the new clothes provided for him, Aribell, Tasha, and Jas head to General Warbenders office to request that Vines be officially attached to their team, and then it's off to the Shouting Pirate in search of Viessa. After chatting with Jojo briefly, they head down into her complex, finding her in her pub. After verifying that she has not had any memories altered, she explains the situation in Ballinamard and asks for her assistance in searching for additional Thuilnu conclaves beneath the other towns and cities in Aecathan. She also offers Jas the same opportunity his father once enjoyed while working for her. The entire group then reconvenes in the Pirate for a late lunch and to give Jas a chance to talk to Jojo about his experiences aboard a ship, something that Jas seems intrigued with. That evening, Vines arrives and is checked and briefed on the situation. Shortly thereafter, Master Obras arrives with a halfling mage he introduces as Arbogast "Bo" Claynanger, who will be accompanying the group on behalf of the Tower of Azinor. After Obras briefs the assembled on the full extent of the Noctomancy spells he has deciphered from the tomes located in the ruined Temple of Othoathok, Father Dilbiss arrives with a young half-elven woman he introduces as Sefryna von Alfthan, a cleric of Balmous, who Aribell is able to identify as a fellow member of the Aermaghian nobility, but unfortunately one from a family that is not held in much favor or esteem. Master Obras and Father Dilbiss depart, leaving the group with Mother Tassa for whatever additional information she has discovered from the various Sept Sages. https://www.artifactsworldswide.com/podcasts/AWW-LoA_Ep108.mp3 Mon, 31 Oct 2022 06:00:00 EDT 2:50:40 dnd5e, artifacts, worldswide, worldwide, aecathan, jeff smith, nikki grams, pam christian, annette pratt, lesley withers, dnd, dungeons, dragons, 5e, 5th, rp, rpg, frpg, ttrpg, role, play, fantasy, dice, improv, voice acting, voice-acting, fantasy artifactsww@gmail.com (Artifacts Worldswide LLC)yes Artifacts Worldswide After many hours spent in planning, the Four and their allies head to Ballinamard to find the Thuilnu conclave below the city!

After she departs, Vines, Bo, and Sephyrna head to rooms in Duneshadow Manor while the rest of the group, along with Jas, gets invited into Athgarr's new Magnificent Mansion, one that appears as a Hacienda in the desert. The following morning, after breakfast, the group teleports to The Barracks in Ballinamard. After searching to make sure the Inn is both empty and not the conclave's connection to the surface, and after finalizing on a strategy for dealing with the citizens of the city, the Four venture outside. They first head for the Council House, but find it dark and empty. They then stop off first at the Temple of Quisva where they meet the High Druid of Ballinamard, Vesh Chofoh, who provides them with information on finding High Speaker Gesos, who moonlights as a trainer at The Wolf's Den, the kennel for a variety of canines. Upon arriving at the Den, Gwenlaryn speaks with a young male wolf, who is surprisingly helpful in providing them their next move. https://www.artifactsworldswide.com/podcasts/AWW-LoA_Ep109.mp3 Mon, 07 Nov 2022 06:00:00 EDT 3:04:58 dnd5e, artifacts, worldswide, worldwide, aecathan, jeff smith, nikki grams, pam christian, annette pratt, lesley withers, dnd, dungeons, dragons, 5e, 5th, rp, rpg, frpg, ttrpg, role, play, fantasy, dice, improv, voice acting, voice-acting, fantasy artifactsww@gmail.com (Artifacts Worldswide LLC)yes Artifacts Worldswide It's time to begin freeing the people of Ballinamard from the Thuilnu mind-fog, starting with the town's ruling council!

After Gwen make a purchase that surprises no one, they head to the Council Building where Fen has summoned the other four members. One-by-one, they come in and are released from the Thuilnu-imposed reality they've been living in, each with a different reaction: Vengeance, Horror, Rage, and one simply passes out. The group brings Fen and the Council into Tasha's Magnificent Mansion, where they're away from the Thuilnu's influence, to consult with the locals on how to find the entrance to the Thuilnu's subterranean conclave! https://www.artifactsworldswide.com/podcasts/AWW-LoA_Ep110.mp3 Mon, 21 Nov 2022 06:00:00 EDT 2:36:56 dnd5e, artifacts, worldswide, worldwide, aecathan, jeff smith, nikki grams, pam christian, annette pratt, lesley withers, dnd, dungeons, dragons, 5e, 5th, rp, rpg, frpg, ttrpg, role, play, fantasy, dice, improv, voice acting, voice-acting, fantasy artifactsww@gmail.com (Artifacts Worldswide LLC)yes Artifacts Worldswide Personality conflicts are the theme of the day when the Four choose more Ballinamard citizens to awaken and examine their own feelings!

After watching Gwenlaryn tease Athgarr about it once again, Aribell decided to have a discussion with her about Gwen's habit of pushing women at Athgarr, which led Gwenlaryn to find Athgarr and have their own talk, which brings them closer to understanding how they feel about each other. Master Choob arrives at the Mansion armed for battle and prepared to speed-learn the Magnificent Mansion spell so there is someone local who can cast it. At the same time, Zorith and Bo headed to the Tower of Azinor to retrieve the three scrolls Master Choob needs.
