The Wandering Echoes | Tables & Fables S02E5 | ShadowDark RPG Actual Play

Bavo and Vulas of the Wandering Echoes light up the Onyx Ballroom with a dazzling show, but in the shadows, Parekeos fears the Preservation Syndicate is closing in on a Cyclopean Disk he’s hidden. Their schemes tangle with politics as they weave a “battle of the bands” into Parekeos “Reki’s” mayoral campaign. When Syndicate spies draw too close, Vulas blinds them with spectacle, luring them into false promises of joining the band while Bavo shields their meeting with smokeweave wards. Parekeos reveals the Disk lies within a collapsed mound in Arventa’s ruins. That night, the duo descend into an ancient amphitheater, deciphering celestial and diabolic melodies to open a hidden chamber. A misplayed closing song triggers a trap, but deeper within they confront nagas who despise celestial harmonies. Through charm and music, they are led to “The Great One”, a skeletal, headless cyclops clutching a cursed ring. At first roused to fury by their discordant tones, he is soothed again by celestial chords. Through the ring’s cacophony, a message emerges: visions of a lumbering cyclops burdened with books, whispers of the Hollow Legacy, the lost Saltstone Tower, and the name of his master- Zalvaran. The music has opened more than doors; it has tuned their fates to a far greater discord.

The Oriss Unleashed: Birth of an Empire | Tables & Fables S02E4 | ShadowDark RPG Actual Play

In the wake of chaos at the Storehouse, Loric and Elarius return to Arventa, where the outpost swells with beastmen, elves, and wanderers from Taptooth. Loric raises shoddy construction while Elarius secures something far more vital: the “where” function of the Cyclopean Compass, gaining the power to trace leads to other powerful cyclopean artifacts.With silverback camels gifted by the Wandering Eye, they set out east toward the towering mountain beyond the Pyre of Gede. Unprepared and starving, the climb grinds them down. Heat and hunger drive them into cavernous depths, where ancient structures lie entombed. Fungal rations sustain them just enough to press on, until shadows stir.Two dune fiends emerge, ‘playful’ predators of the deep. One slips behind them unseen, the other lets loose a howl that shakes Elarius to his core. Yet he refuses to break. Calling upon the Oriss, he feeds his hunger for conquest and is granted terrifying strength, power that surges not only through him, but to any who would march beneath his banner.The fiends fall. The chamber grows silent. In the stillness, Loric and Elarius realize what they’ve uncovered is more than survival in this moment, it may be the foundation of their new empire, carved into the bones of the mountain itself.

There, Bone Gnasher and Jagged Edge aid the caravan while young Kolvar shares suspicions about Tanithil and the mystical orbs housed within.Inside the Cyclopean passage that leads to the camp’s storehouse, the spectral guardian Lily recognizes the Oriss among the party and reveals forgotten truths: these lands were once oceans, and the Cyclopes tried to preserve them, but the lands sunk as the waters drained. There, the Preservation Syndicate, led by Crultuk, attempts to claim the locked Cyclopean Compass. A deadly trial is triggered, sinking the chamber and drowning it in numbing gas.

The Wandering Eye | Tables & Fables S02E2 | ShadowDark RPG Actual Play

Loric and Elarius encounter Tanithil of the Wandering Eye camp. They learn of the RENU, a powerful renunciation ritual tied to Elid, the waning Eastern, Evermore Brown moon. Drawn into uneasy alliance with Thosis and his crew, now shockingly aligned with Crultuk and the Preservation Syndicate, they infiltrate the camp under the cover of diplomacy and theft. Loric crafts a masterful distraction with stories of the sea, healing camels, and rhythmic chanting, while Elarius uncovers caged, frenzied Blood Roc creations. Chaos erupts with the sudden arrival of Gwar, triggering the release of the beasts. In the aftermath, Gwar is rescued, but the camp’s trust is lost. As tensions rise, Gwar interprets a grim omen from the blood on the rocks. He gifts Loric a flame-colored stone. With no safe ground behind them, the party joins the Wandering Eye elves on their pilgrimage to the Pyre, as Elid slowly wanes.
