Hail and well met!

Thank you for listening to the pilot episode of a brand-new Dungeons and Dragons podcast.

I am Derek, the Dungeon Master. This is mostly a side project of mine in celebration of my d&d group's one year anniversary. 

After live-tweeting several sessions, many people expressed interest in listening to our games as a podcast, and their wishes have been granted.

First and foremost, this is a rough pilot. This is more of a proof of concept and there are several issues including audio issues, and small noises. These will be amended in time. 

If you enjoyed this pilot, thank you! You can tweet about it using the hashtag #champsofvirtue!

Thank you for listening. May your rolls be forever high.

And of course, before we start, a quick refresher. 

After traversing their way to the lost city of Bryarden, the group managed to find a tunnel leading to an underground grand hall that lay underneath the city of Bryarden. They were not alone, however, as they were met with the remaining members of the Root Stalkers. 

In a pitched battle, Damaris unlocked a newfound ability in his Sword of the Seldarine, at the cost of one of his eyes. Driven by rage and combat, Damaris struck down any and all who dare harm him. Unfortunately, he also learned that the sword does not discern between friend and foe in the heat of battle. 

A wild shot by Kindra landed in the back of Damaris, causing him to attack her in a blind rage. The group was able to put Damaris to sleep and handily defeat the Root Stalkers

After defeating them, Kallista was able to find and rescue her adoptive mother Diana. However, there seems to be some disagreement about the true villainy of the Root Stalkers. Were they a simple smuggling group, or were they child traffickers? 

We pick up where we ended, the group sitting in the Staggering Spirit in the city of Forsen. The rainy season has started in earnest. Let's see what happens next.

And of course, before we start, a quick refresher.

The party headed to the capital city of Dol Haran, after being away for nearly an entire year. On their way, they encountered a strange fissure breaking through the earth and exposing burning lava beneath the ground. Not only that, but the fissures seemed to release several large monstrous creatures into the land that attacked the group. 

After nearly falling prey to the monster's fearsome jaws, the group finally made it to the capital, where they had gained a somewhat celebrity status. While there, they discovered some things to have changed and some things had stayed the same. After reuniting with Vance, who went by another name when the group first met him, they party met with Kellam Danah, second son of the Royal Family and professor at the Lyceum. 

Together they discussed their findings in the Feywild, as well as potential locations for more Shrines. The party now finds themselves taking comfort in an inn, waiting to meet with the King Faram Danah himself.  

NOTE: 

Due to a technical issue, a portion of the podcast was corrupted and unfortunately lost. Check out the description for a written recap of the events that were lost. 

MEETING THE ENCHANTER

The group travelled to the wealthier district of Dol Haran and discovered an Enchanter, one who specializes in imbuing weapons and armor with magical properties. The enchanter in question, an ornately dressed Dwarven man named Zephram, offered his enchanting services at a very high price. 

Rhogar, ever the clever Dragonborn, attempted to trade his Immortal Goldfish, an item picked up some time ago, for discounted enchantments. The goldfish, named Samwise, was by all accounts a normal, living goldfish. What made his special was that he seemed to be swimming in a jar filled with nothing but air. Samwise didn't eat or sleep, but seemed to swim around as a normal fish in spite of that. 

Rhogar realized Zephram's penchant for experimentation, and offered a once-in-a-lifetime deal: he would give Zephram the fish to study, and in return, Zephram would enchant several of the party's items for free. After much deliberation, and a combined deceptive effort from the rest of the party, Zephram agreed to enchant one item and offer a discount on all subsequent enchantings. 

Rhogar agreed to the terms and received an newly-enchanted wand along with signed proof of their future discounts. 

Spent from their day shopping, the party headed back to the Pot and Quill inn, where they rested for the night.

And of course, before we start, a quick refresher.

The party began their sojourn to the Great Furnace, a large mountain that may possess a Shrine of Virtue. 

During their journey, they came across a gang of fairly incompetent thieves, and though they were able to solve the issue without bloodshed, the incident kept the group on their toes. 

The journey continued until they were ambushed yet again, not by thieves, but by strage dog-like creatures. After defeating most of the beasts, they spent the night tracking a surviving beast to a cave that was home to a coven of hags. The group's wisdom was put to the test, but they successfully defeated the coven and discovered that these hags had survived for a long, long time and hoarded several relics of a previous era, including a Stone of Virtue, bringing the groups Stone count to 5 out of 6. 

After a well deserved rest, the party set off back on the path to the Dwarven villaige of Padun, where a contact waits for them to aid the party's trip to the Great Furnace.

And of course, before we start, a quick refresher.

The party had traversed up the Great Furnace and into a dark cave that descended downward until it revealed a room who's exit was guarded by an aged sphinx.

After being unable to answer the sphinx's riddle, the party fought valiantly against it, and ultimately allowed it to die with honor. 

They then entered a room that split into 3 different hallways, but each was sealed by a stone door and was preceded by a strage stone chalice. Kallista, wearing their recently acquired stone of virtue, began hearing a strange voice compelling her to sacrifice her coin, her blood, and her own memories to open the three doors. 

Once done, the group went down one hallway together as a group to explore the dungeon. During their trek, the mountain shook and trembled, suggesting a possible eruption in the future.

With one hallway searched, the group decided to rest before exploring the other two hallways and potentially, find another Shrine of Virtue

And of course, before we start, a quick refresher. 

The party traversed their way through the snowy trail from Sirith to the Flat Peaks, where they believe housed a Shrine of Virtue. Along the way, the team's resident dwarf Flank began seeing visions of Krahl Broadhill, the last Champion of Valor. 

Once the group reached the snow-covered Flat Peaks, they discovered that the Peaks were more than a simple mesa, and actually held the ruins of a village. After investigating the ruins, they group ended up falling through a series of sliding tubes, each ending in a separate rooms. With the party separated and isolated, they found themselves in pitched battles against their inner fears. 

They party succeed, reached the Shrine of Valor, and learned more about the previous champions. Flank himself received the maul of Krahl Broadhill himself. 

After being safely teleported back to the Flat Peaks themselves, the group now sets off to find the final Shrine of Virtue.

And of course, before we start, a quick refresher.

After the party braved through the Shrine of Valor, they received a message from their ally Vance inviting them to a gala ball in the Capital city of Dol Haran. Though confused at first, they were later informed by prince Nimueh Danah that they would be the guest of honor at this charity event. 

They decided to head to the capital and attend the event. Upon arriving at Dol Haran, everyone was soon whisked away to be fitted for formal outfits despite the ball being over a week away. 

While there, Vance informed them that the once illegal underground fighting arena had become sanctioned by the govenrment and now legally hosts several tournaments, including a monthly 8v8 event. Excited by the prospect, the group decided to enter in along with Vance as their 8th. 

After two grueling matches, the party emerged victorious, the energy of the fights spurring them on to finish their preparations for the upcoming charity ball.
