Shumi-Oh-My!

Eldred receives a message she wasn't ready for. Adalina relives memories that aren't even hers. And Jett is reminded the past she's left behind hasn't forgotten her. Somewhere in between — something in the party quietly shifted. A warning. A memory. A reminder of a past life. Off the Beaten Quest asks this week: is getting closer to the answers always what's best? Welcome to Off the Beaten Quest — a D&D actual play podcast set in the homebrew world of Aarencia.
