Adventures in Novus

49. Gore, Frankly

Strap in - this is our second‑longest episode ever and the longest of the main campaign. The party pushes deeper into the ancient halls of Castle Greslania as their hunt for the lich’s phylactery reaches a boiling point. K’rrick, Anders, Travis, and Baelthor face twisting corridors, forgotten chambers, and threats that grow stranger with every door they open, while the castle’s dark history begins to claw its way into the present. What’s behind door number 1? What about door number 2? You might guess those... but door number 5? Not a chance. Between unexpected encounters, questionable potions, unsettling foes, and some truly chaotic decisions, this episode sets the stage for a massive chapter finale - and the stakes have never been higher.

48. No Goitering Zone

In this episode the gang levels up! We go through the major changes for each of our heroes as they hit level 5. We then pick up where we left off in front of the castle of Greslania where the group needed to make an important will save against the banshee's scream. With the distraction of the undead army fighting their own gathered coalition forces in the background, it's time to figure out how to get into that castle and... what's still left in there? Will they find what they need? Only one way to find out.

47. Mighty Bucephalus

The war begins! Our heroes must trust that the army they have assembled will hold the surprise undead attack as they try to get past them to the tunnel to sneak into Greslania while the undead are distracted. Getting to the tunnel is the easy part... right? K'rrick gets frustrated as a leader and has to make multiple rousing speeches. Will our heroes make it to the tunnel and finally get to Greslania? You'll have to listen to find out, and always remember, the main thing horse does is be a horse.

46. A Rousing Speech

The coalition grows stronger as the Betchlanders, Gwarian warriors, Barbarians, and Cyclopians converge at the Free People's mountain stronghold. With the Lich’s undead and demonic legions surging from the depths of Greslania, our heroes and their allies convene for one final war council, strategizing the battle that could decide the fate of Novus.  Before resting for what may be their final night alive, the party takes a solemn moment to reflect on the origins of their varied journeys, seeking guidance from gods and ancestors alike. Then, at the battlefield’s edge, steel is drawn, vows are spoken, and stirring speeches echo across the ranks... right before all hell breaks loose.

45. You SOB, I'm In

After a long hiatus, the main party returns... as does Baelthor, though his sudden reappearance raises more questions than answers. As suspicions simmer, the group joins the leaders of the Free Peoples Army for a high-stakes war council. With the undead and demonic forces of Greslania on the march, it’s time for a montage: the party splits up to rally old allies, forge new pacts, and prepare for the coming storm. Meanwhile, Kaelos and K’rrick delve deeper into the ancient Sovian language, hoping to unearth secrets that could turn the tide against the lich. Make sure you stick with us until the end of the episode, as there’s a special reveal about Travis’s past that you won’t want to miss.
