Notes from the Underdark

Welcome to Notes from the Underdark

Mon, 19 Sep 2022 00:00:00 GMT

Welcome to the show! In this first episode I take care of some preliminary discussion about what it is we are doing here in the first place. Then, it's a brief introduction to the first world of our first campaign! Get ready.

Call of the Kydemones

Tue, 20 Sep 2022 00:00:00 GMT

We begin the story! This is a rather short one, because while our characters are getting their proverbial sea legs under them, so are the players behind them. We're figuring out how to play and how not to die in the forest. Most of us are successful in the latter, but Orwin almost doesn't make it! It's a rough first day on the job, to say the least.

Return to Nauem

Tue, 20 Sep 2022 00:00:00 GMT

In this session our DM teaches us some of the finer points about not going into the forest ever, like really ever. But ultimately we all make it to Nauem without dying, otherwise this would be a very short podcast. Once we get there, we learn a bit about what our role among the Kydemones is to be.

Leolin Lost

Wed, 21 Sep 2022 00:00:00 GMT

The party embarks on their first mission: find the lost husband of a famous architect the Kydemones need to help rebuild our Academy. The mission quickly lands us in some of the darker parts of Nauem's Middle City, where drugs and murder apparently run rampant...

The Black Cornix

Thu, 22 Sep 2022 00:00:00 GMT

Our heroes converse with a bunch of gang members and try not to die, or be died. (How do you like that example of a passive intransitive?) After they make it out of that particular jam (or do they?), it's time to learn a bit more about Evendur and then take care of our fantasy nightlife responsibilities by getting ready for an awesome party.

Gala a la Eglon

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 00:00:00 GMT

It's party time! This episode answers questions like, who's a good dancer? What's underneath Lord Eglon's palace? And, how pink can a room get before you're reasonably sure it's not a normal type of room?

Acronauem

Sun, 09 Oct 2022 00:00:00 GMT

With a Tehokivi apparently almost in our heroes' grasp, what are they to do? Grab it, and maybe die in some kind of explosive trap? And even if they don't die immediately, how are they supposed to take one of the most powerful known magical artifacts through one of the most bumping known parties without being noticed?

Champions' Bond

Tue, 25 Oct 2022 00:00:00 GMT

The party is deadlocked. What are they to do with this powerful artifact? Who can they trust? Can they even trust themselves?

Duskfields Extraction

Sat, 19 Nov 2022 00:00:00 GMT

The campaign takes a turn for the macabre and deadly as our heroes find themselves needing to somehow foil a public execution and rescue a lordling, without being executed themselves!

Leolin Led

Sun, 29 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT

In which we attempt to escape a failed execution through the sewers and are nearly vanquished by a slimy ladder. Why is it always sewers?
