Plummeting frogs, chaff owls, and seducin’ medusas - oh my! The party fights and reunites as their path through pixelated perdition continues!

528 Elk, Yassified

A pitched battle with forest-dwelling medusas, a rock gnome smitten with said medusas, and giant angry birds harassing our heroes as they plummet to certain death are mere morsels of excitement in this installment of our adventurers’ saga inside a painting inside a book inside a house? Confusing? Yes!

521 Third Eye’s Blind

This episode’s highlights are wet stairs and a bad plan.

500 Alpaca Macadamia Nuts

To celebrate our 500th episode, we bring you the only TPK recorded entirely in person! It’s an extra-long session recorded around a table, complete with the sounds of dice rolling, soda-pop cans opening, and chairs scraping the floor as people move around. The only way to feel more like you’re there is to watch the 360° version on a VR headset!

This episode kicks off another Candlekeep mystery in which N’iss, Naiasa, Valenthe, Merdri, and Quewaris investigate a trembling tower.

In this final episode of The Lore of Lurue, Lovyn wants to leave, Naiasa hides under a corpse, Hermioneigh is like a really great dance troupe, Frittat’ha gets back on the horse, and Lonewalker hesitates to touch the book.

479 Friendship Bracelets!

478 Sleep Without Trace

The Candlekeep crew heads to Waterdeep to meet William Faerl, an elf with a helluva hat, and to play “Good Cop, Good Cop, Neutral Cop, Bad Cop, Bad Cop.” Or is it “Good Cop, Bad Cop, Horse Cop, Little Cop, Lizard Cop”? No, no, of course it’s “Good Cop, Bad Cop, Big Cop, Little Cop, Fake Ghost Cop”!
