D&D 5e: Sniff Around, Ep7 “Shafted”

D&D 5e: Sniff Around, Ep7 “Shafted”

With three fresh leads on the table, the Guild do what any sensible adventuring party would do… ignore at least two of them. Following up on a druid’s concerns, our heroes head into some long-forgotten dwarven ruins in search of suspicious tunnels that may—or may not—be linked to Gallowmere’s smuggling problem. Instead they find vandalised statues, a haunted forge, an offended dwarven ghost, and a promise of riches if they can stop whoever’s been trashing the place. Things take a turn for the exceptionally inept when Blud turns Darvin into a walking torch, Darvin immediately rewards everyone’s confidence by pulling every mysterious lever at once, and the party spends an alarming amount of time being thoroughly outwitted by what is, in hindsight, just a lift. As the ancient platform descends into the darkness below, strange red-glowing obelisks emerge from the shadows… along with the unmistakable sound of something moving in the dark. The Guild have finally reached the bottom. Whether that’s the dungeon… or their luck… remains to be seen.

Delta Green: Ep9 “No Place Like Home”

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains strong language and dark themes, including references to violence involving children, graphic crime scenes, and ritualistic murder. Listener discretion is strongly advised. The investigation into 1206 Spooner Avenue reaches its horrifying conclusion. Armed with occult knowledge, mysterious antiques and a parapsychologist, the team finally enter the house itself. They probably should have stayed outside. Every room hides a new nightmare. Ghostly apparitions, unnatural sounds, disturbing visions and a growing sense that the house is actively attacking their minds. Lucy finds herself compelled to drink months-old mouldy coffee. Alan hears gunshots that never happened. Alastair sees things lurking in mirrors, and begins to believe the most sensible course of action is to shoot the house. Unfortunately, he doesn’t stop there. As the investigation spirals into chaos, the agents are forced to flee the scene with Elizabeth in tow, leaving behind a burning house, a dead parapsychologist and one very unstable team member. But the nightmare is not over. The diary they recovered reveals the truth behind the Dark Man and the ritual needed to banish him. There is only one problem. The ritual requires a human sacrifice. With Elizabeth unconscious and conveniently available, the team are faced with an impossible moral decision. But Delta Green always has another plan. And Mrs. Green has already decided who must pay the price. Blood, madness, razor blades and betrayal await in the shocking finale of Operation Iago.

Delta Green: Ep8 “Coming Out Of The Closet”

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains strong language and dark themes, including references to violence involving children, graphic crime scenes, and ritualistic murder. Listener discretion is strongly advised. The investigation into 1206 Spooner Avenue continues, and the team finally gain access to the full contents of Agent Donnelly's Green Box. Inside they find notebooks, weapons, supplies... and a coffin. A child's coffin. While Lucy studies Donnelly's notes, Dr. Graham decides to inspect the grim discovery, and the team soon uncover a disturbing link between the stolen remains and the long history of tragedies surrounding the house. Determined to set at least one thing right, the agents embark on an unusual side mission: returning the young boy to his proper resting place. Unfortunately, the dead rarely stay buried in Delta Green investigations. As the team continue digging into the town's history, they encounter sceptical coroners, helpful clerks, suspicious antiques, and a parapsychologist who seems to know far more than he should. Most unsettling of all are the objects recovered from the house itself. A side table conceals a hidden compartment containing a diary and ritual artefacts. The piano remains stubbornly ordinary. But the antique wardrobe proves far more troubling. Because when Dr. Graham climbs inside... Something whispers back. With strange symbols emerging, old diaries resurfacing, and the supernatural becoming increasingly difficult to ignore, the agents finally receive a name connected to the horrors of Spooner Avenue. Nyarlathotep. And suddenly the mystery becomes far larger than a haunted house.

Delta Green: Ep7 “Operation Iago”

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains strong language and dark themes, including references to violence involving children, graphic crime scenes, and ritualistic murder. Listener discretion is strongly advised. A new Delta Green operation begins. Summoned to the small town of Meadowbrook, New Jersey, the team are assigned to Operation Iago by the mysterious Mrs. Green. Their mission seems simple enough: investigate the death of Agent Arthur Donnelly, determine whether a suburban house poses a threat, and uncover the truth behind a string of suspicious deaths linked to the property at 1206 Spooner Avenue. Simple. Digging through decades of records reveals a disturbing pattern. Owners come and go. Accidents happen. Suicides occur. Questions remain unanswered. And the deeper the team dig, the more it appears that something is very wrong with the house. A visit to Donnelly's Green Box proves equally unsettling. But not before the team must overcome a far greater obstacle: an unhelpful storage facility owner demanding twelve hundred dollars in unpaid rent. The investigation then leads them to Spooner Avenue itself. A house that feels wrong. Neighbours who behave strangely. An unexpected invitation to a sex party. Piano music playing in an apparently empty house. And a glimpse of something that should not be there. Retiring for the evening with more questions than answers, the agents return the following morning to open Donnelly's Green Box. Inside they find guns, tools, quicklime, petrol, a collection of notebooks. Oh, and a coffin.

D&D 5e: “Yuan-ti Climax” Part 4 (ONE SHOT)

The final chapter of Yuan-ti Climax is here. With Darvin turned to stone and a deadly creature lurking in the darkness, the party quickly realise that sometimes the best strategy is not looking directly at the problem. A lesson Darvin learns slightly too late. After breaking the petrification curse, the party make a bold gamble and free the imprisoned creature, only to discover she was never a monster at all, but a princess held captive by Azharet the Green Dragon. With a new ally by their side, the adventurers press deeper into the ancient ziggurat. What they discover is horrifying. An entire population imprisoned in an endless dream, their lives stolen away by the dragon’s twisted magic. But at the heart of the temple waits their greatest challenge. The traitorous Draven. The mighty Azharet. And a mysterious celestial being trapped within a magical orb. Against overwhelming odds, Darvin once again chooses the most direct solution possible: jumping onto the orb, cutting it loose, and hoping everything works out. Somehow, it does. Empowered by a divine blessing, the party launch one final assault. Blades clash, spells fly, and old friendships are put to the sword. With Draven defeated and Azharet brought low, the battle reaches a spectacular finale as Leadfoot is launched through the air to deliver the killing strike. A heroic victory. A fallen dragon. And quite possibly the most dramatic cat throw in the history of adventuring.
