#221 – New Character(s)?!

S6 D&D Podcast

Do you believe in resurrection? Our next series of episodes will have you humming all the way to the Underdark, for this campaign we’re going back in time to 2017 with Out of the Abyss.

Players in this campaign include Jared playing as Morrigan (Ranger), Stephen playing as Kort (Barbarian), Matt playing as Kirito (Rogue), Andy playing as Redbeard (Druid), and Eric playing as Crow (Bard); this is the first time Luke DM’s a campaign ever!

Session 10 requires some extra explanation before listening: Something happened when it was originally recorded and caused us to loose the first 2-3 hours probably of the session. This week’s episode is all that’s left of session 10 which is about the last hour. To catch you up on what occurred between the end of last session and where this picks up, Jarenor was the first PC to perish in this campaign (and certainly not the last). If you remember, Aramil was knocked out and Kort & Turvy were trying to save the others while a mysterious light behind them scared the encroaching spiders. Turns out that light was…you guessed it, Lathander. Unknown to the others, Aramil made a deal with his God to save the others in exchange for his life so there’s PC death #2 for this campaign.

Other things happening before the recording picks up is the introduction of 2 new characters, a ranger named Morrigan played by Jared and Redbeard who is a druid played by Andy. These 2 were in a prison cell that our remaining group members freed and they’ve now joined the party. We pick up this episode in the midst of a cave bear fight so we get to see how these new characters hold their own with the others.

Once the bears are taken out, our new party tries to settle in for the night and nearly everyone has bad dreams thanks to Crow. The next morning, the party tries to figure out what to do and where to go next, Turvy wants to find Aramil, not knowing if he survived yet or not. Pressing on, the group move into a newly discovered area where a plant that’s also some sort of alarm starts screaming and leaving us with a cliff-hanger.

Question to leave you with this week: Does it pass the Bechdel test if Morrigan (a female ranger played by Jared) and Turvy (a female deep gnome played by Luke) talk to each other about something other than a man? My personal ruling–not a pass.
