The elusive mascots—from the geometric Quandrix Snake to the volatile Prismari Fire Deer—have scattered into the swampy wilds, turning the campus into a chaotic gauntlet of magical anomalies. Navigating the treacherous terrain of the Witherbloom bogs is hard enough, but tracking down creatures that belong in other colleges is proving to be a logistical nightmare.

The mascots are out there, but in this wilderness, the party might find that the environment itself is just as prickly as the creatures they’re trying to catch. 📝 Note: This episode is an edited version of Session 21. 🎥 Want the full visual experience?Watch Sanctum Arcanum on our YouTube channel, where you can catch the action, reactions, and moments that don’t always make it into audio alone. 🎵 Music Info⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://docs.google.com/document/d/17Ltrn9Y37r-w8ukIdZuZzQmppiANWXpfT9GDDiwF3NE/edit?usp=sharing [https://docs.google.com/document/d/17Ltrn9Y37r-w8ukIdZuZzQmppiANWXpfT9GDDiwF3NE/edit?usp=sharing&authuser=1]
