This week, the party makes a stop at the Bottom Feeder Inn, where they quickly discover that the Court of Ether has no shortage of strange and interesting characters. But what could a leprechaun, a bar owner, and a group of adventurers possibly have in common? As it turns out, a good drink isn’t the only thing that brings people together—they all share a love for a good story. So pull up a chair, grab a drink, and let’s see what tales the Bottom Feeder has to offer.

This week, the party goes all in on their Sleight of Hand skills, putting quick fingers and questionable judgment to the test. It’s a gamble that could pay off big—or leave them wishing they’d kept their hands to themselves. Will they walk away with their pockets full, or will they find themselves emptying their wallets once again?

This week, with Jirelga’s expert guidance leading the way, the party ventures into—and across—the Endless Gulf on their journey toward the Court of Ether. But the Darklands always seem to have a surprise waiting around every corner. Speaking of surprises... what’s all this white stuff covering the ground? Snow? Dust? Nope. Bat guano. Lots and lots of bat guano.

This week, the party continues their desperate fight to escape the Morlock community. Freedom is finally within reach, but before they make their grand exit, it might be time to send the Morlocks a little message. After spending the last few episodes running for their lives, the party finally gets a chance to demonstrate exactly what they’re capable of when they decide to stop running and start fighting back.

This week, fresh off popping a few oozes, the party has no time to celebrate as they continue their desperate escape through the Morlock colony. Their pursuers aren't far behind, and slowing down isn't exactly an option. Can they stay one step ahead and make it out alive, or are we about to find out just how much material this Adventure Path has for a completely different party?

This week, the party continues their great escape through the Morlock colony, with danger seemingly waiting around every corner. They'll need to keep one eye behind them and the other on whatever fresh nightmare is waiting ahead. And in the Darklands, nowhere is safe—not even the water.

This week, after a few days of trekking through the Darklands, the party accidentally stumbles right into the middle of a Morlock community. Unfortunately, the locals don't seem too thrilled about their unexpected visitors. In fact, it looks like they're less interested in having the party over for dinner and a whole lot more interested in having the party for dinner.

Who's ready for a new adventure? This week, the party prepares for their next trek into the Darklands. Supplies are packed, plans are made, and confidence is high. But if there's one thing our heroes are known for, it's forgetting the one thing they'll inevitably need most. What will they leave behind this time?

The conversation continues in Part 2 of our Chapter 3 recap! This week, we dive into the moments that made us laugh the hardest, the encounters that had us sweating the most, and the characters that left a lasting impression. We'll hand out a few unofficial awards, relive some of our favorite roleplaying moments, and look back on everything that made the final chapter of Mantle of Gold such an unforgettable adventure. With Book 1 officially behind us, it's time to celebrate the journey—and maybe even speculate about what awaits in Book 2

We did it! After months of adventure, we've reached the end of another chapter—and with it, the conclusion of Book 1 of Sky King's Tomb: Mantle of Gold. Join us this week as we gather around the table to reflect on the highs, the lows, the biggest surprises, and our favorite moments from Chapter 3. From unforgettable battles and unlikely allies to questionable decisions and lasting memories, we're looking back at everything that made this chapter one to remember.

This week, after Fungie somehow manages to stabilize the rest of the party, our heroes finally get a chance to do what every adventurer loves most: loot. But the greatest treasure waiting inside the bakery that's definitely not a bakery may not be gold or magic items at all. Could the party's biggest reward be Jirelga's freedom?

After what feels like an eternity, the party has finally taken control of the bakery that's definitely not a bakery. But victory doesn't always come without a price. Did everyone survive long enough to see this day? Well... that depends on how much Fungie managed to learn from watching the dentist work. Turns out, battlefield medicine and dentistry might have more in common than anyone expected.

This week, the party pulls out every trick up their sleeve—their ace in the hole, their rainy-day fund, and every last desperate gamble they've been saving for a moment just like this. But every victory comes at a cost. Will everyone make it out of this bakery-that-definitely-isn't-a-bakery alive? And when the dust finally settles... will Tuom Molegrade still be standing?

This week, the party finds themselves on the wrong end of an absolute ass kicking. Bruised, bloodied, and running dangerously low on healing, they're pushed further than ever before. For the first time in the campaign, it genuinely looks like this could be the end of the road for our heroes. But hey... I'm sure they'll be fine. Right?
