We're back with our "hat" full of celebrity names and are ready to pull out a few of them to discuss on this week's show. Who will we get? Male? Female? Singer? Actor? Both? Only one way to find out! Plus the news and some housekeeping.
Success! Maybe? After taking on a small gang of skeleton zombies, a secret door to the alchemist’s lab appeared! Unfortunately the fate of the alchemist was confirmed when they were attacked by his remains, complete with acid that caused significant damage to Enya’s armor. With teamwork though the alchemist, or what remained of him, was defeated and he disappeared into a pile of dust
.
Upon entering the lab, it appeared that they had literally struck gold. Several gold items were mixed in with the lab equipment, along with some books including what appeared to be the spell book that Keledek had asked for. Packing up their loot in their handy new bag-of-holding, the group quickly left the mansion and went back to town. After a meal and a drink, their first stop, Keledek’s tower.
The wizard was surprised to see the quartet return so soon, but was nevertheless pleased to hear they had acquired what he was looking for. After inspecting their loot, their hearts fell when Keledek burst into laughter. In his opinion, the so-called alchemist was nothing but a big phony! Thankfully all was not lost as Keledek still offered to pay them for their finds, even if the gold wasn’t as valuable as originally thought. Even better was the higher sum the wizard paid out after some persuasion on Finnea’s part.
After departing the wizard’s tower, the group took advantage of it still being early in the day to sell off the rest of their loot and getting Enya some new armor as hers’ was a lost cause due to the alchemist’s acid attacks. Their bag-of-holding lighter and their coin purses heavier, the adventure had already paid off quite handsomely. However they knew that they hadn’t completely accomplished their hired task and that meant going back to the mansion.

It's time once again to dive into the lyrics of Billy Joel's 'We Didn't
Start The Fire', this time moving into 1950. We look into politics,
technology and Hollywood. Plus news and your feedback!
When we last saw our group of adventurers, they had entered
the alchemist’s mansion. After searching most of the rooms on the ground floor
and an uncomfortable encounter with a swarm of spiders, the foursome found
themselves in the basement via a trap door, hidden from view in the dark and
dust. Unfortunately, they quickly found out they were not alone in the house. A
group of bandits, likely smugglers, had taken up residence and were quick to
take up a fight. Quite the scuffle ensued, but our adventurers eventually
emerged the winners, albeit a bit worse for wear.
After examining their fallen foes for clues to their
identities, and any possible loot, further examination of the basement was
required. A smaller yet more opulent room was discovered, likely belonging to
the ringleader of this group of thugs, full of more clues and loot for the
picking. It appeared that the leader, while appearing to be a somewhat skilled
mariner, also dabbled in magic.
The more they explored the basement, the more secrets it
seemed to reveal, this time a hidden door in the wall opposite the beds
presumably used by the gang. The door lead to the wine cellar, which included a
set of stairs that would lead to the landing the group originally found themselves
in upon first entering the house.
They didn’t have time to contemplate the seemingly strange
layout of the house, as the cellar, while lacking in bottles of wine, did
contain a body lying on the stone floor. Unsure if the person was dead or just
unconscious, the group received their answer when a large mass of maggots emerged
from the body and headed for our heroes. Another fight, thankfully once again
emerging victorious but no closer to finding the alchemist’s lab or spell book,
the team finds themselves with a decision.
It's considered one of the greatest plot twists of all time; one of the greatest sequels of all time; and one of the greatest movies of all time. But what really makes Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back so great? Join us in our discussion of the history, trivia, urban legends and behind-the-scenes of this iconic film. Plus news, some housekeeping and the reveal of our new project!
Several miles away from the seaside town of Saltmarsh sits an abandoned
mansion, fallen into disrepair after the owner's presumed death. Most of
the town's residents presume it haunted, but there are a few who are
curious of the treasures the alchemist who lived there might have left
behind. The newest arrivals to Saltmarsh, a group of four castaways from
a recent lost ship, are hired to check the house for any spooks or
riches. Will they find their fortune or their demise?
Join the Five(ish) Fangirls in a new series, where we dive into the
world of playing Dungeons and Dragons. Our DM (Jared) and Chrissy are
seasoned D&D players, however the rest of us are brand new, so it'll
be even more adventurous as we learn along the way.
*Note: Yes this is our second session, we did record the first one but
unfortunately the audio did not turn out. We're still playing with
finding the best setup that works for all of us so there will be some
growing pains at least in the short term. We hope you stick with us and
enjoy the adventure!
Every family has conflict, maybe even a few skeletons in their closet...but the Whitly family is a whole other ball of wax. We are joined this week by KJ from the Kinda Nerdy Girls Podcast to discuss the freshman season of Prodigal Son. What makes this crime drama series different than the rest, what we expected versus what actually happened, and what we expect from season 2 (because we are being optimistic even though this is a show on Fox *coughs Firefly! *coughs).
