White Plume Mountain Part V

Hivemind!

The menace has been subdued, thanks to Rolland (new character, go back and check!) and his men. However, there are questions that need to be answered. Will Blackstaff return? Who is coordinating the Bugbear packs? Where is Grummhammer? The answers lie together, capped with snow, looking down from the Spine of the World, in White Plume Mountain.

Part five has one of my most favorite scenes in the series thus far, the Shabbat. In the beginning of the episode Dan describes the smoke hanging in the air; we had gone through so much. Lives lost, a party formed, the Shabbat was a chance to breath, even though it was the air that was suffocating us.

With slight spoilers, I have to draw this map out for you. We start off in Chimera Mount, scarred but with purpose. Directly after that, but before the journey is started, the Shabbat scene transpires, while elsewhere the Firen tribe with Alek Grummhammer is meeting their fate. It is an archetypal thought, out of destruction comes creation. Not soon after, we as players realize who our characters are, a ‘campfire scene’, another part of the Heroes’ Journey. But that’s not where things end, we have yet to reach the Mountain.

But that’s all you’ll get out of me! Listen to the episode to see what happens next, and when you’re done, tell us.
