The Violet Madness - Ep.37: The Living Paint

Mina and Aelfric arrive at the Krynell Mountains to find Daemon and Sir Tirion in battle with The Living Paint while Shadar is bound by magical chains and seemingly lost within himself. As the pair join the fray, the painted creature lashes out with powerful attacks and magic, forcing the party to pull out all the stops to vanquish the beast. With no sign of Dleight to aid them, the party fight on in the hopes of ridding Berinthas of the torment this creature has put its people through. As the battle ensues, something else is happening within the town as Ven makes her escape back home... Something with intent....

The Violet Madness - Ep.36: Wings and Hooves

After a harrowing and humbling trek through the swamp of sorrows in the pocket dimension created by The Living Paint, Shadar and Mina find themselves back in Berinthas where the battle is set to begin. Daemon and Sir Tirion tend to the mortally wounded Ven, whilst Mina calls for Miel as the creature flees with Delight on its back. Shadar uses his divine power to give chase, and Tirion calls on his Griffin. With Daemon in tow, the three take to the skies to give chase. Aelfric deals with the rapidly expanding and destructive flames consuming the town, then rides with Mina as the pair gallop after the others. At the foot of the Krynell Mountains, the party catches up to The Living Paint, but pursuit is only half the battle. The real test of their mettle is their minds... and Shadar's is quite shaken...

The Violet Madness - Ep.35: Old Wounds and Strawberry Macaroons

Shadar and Mina find themselves in some sort of pocket dimension. They stand within a swamp teeming with the writhing souls of those The Living Paint has consumed. Concerned that they may share the same fate, the duo navigate the swamps. But what lies beyond the veil of fog is something much more dangerous than any physical threat. Shadar and Mina see their younger selves through the mist, and at various hard times in their lives. As the souls of those wading through the mire grab at their ankles, will they make it out of the swamp in one piece, or join the others that perished before them?

The Violet Madness - Ep.34: An Ill-Painted Canvas

Aelfric, Daemon and Delight forge a plan to take the magical painting abilities from Mayor Hasker, right in the middle of the town festival. With a distraction in place, Daemon steps up to the task. Sir Tirion meets with a man who claims to know Hasker and the link to his abilities. Meanwhile, Shadar and Mina cut their date short to investigate the mass hysteria coming from the town centre. As the party regroups, a fearsome foe is revealed. And it has a hostage in tow...

The Violet Madness - Ep.33: Delight

While Shadar and Mina are on their date, Sit Tirion goes to report the success of the absolved Death Knight to Cynthessia in the Temple of Torm. Pleased with the Paladin's work, she offers him an audience with Mayor Julianus Hasker, a man Tirion has been eager to meet since his arrival in town.  Meanwhile, Daemon and Aelfric get ready for their dinner with Ven, a young Tiefling with ivory skin and unknown origins. During their stay at the apothecary's house, dinner is interrupted by an eavesdropper with a delightful plan to help Ven and all of the townspeople of Berinthas. But is he to be trusted...?
