  The Cost of Victory | Shadows of Stravia: Episode 58

  Aug 12, 20261h 45mS1

  The battle for Greydale rages on — and the reinforcements arriving on the field aren't all friendly. Borislav the Bear finally stands face to face with Vishni, and years of grief demand an answer. Traghoul Frostbite returns to the fight at the worst possible moment — because Orlak Bonecrusher has come to Greydale too, and the ogre champion isn't leaving without blood. As the pyre pens burn and the Aegis Solis press their assault, Oathrender changes hands in the chaos... and through it all, Nyx hears something ancient whispering his name. The Eye of Odin is done waiting. Shadows of Stravia is a low-magic, high-politics gothic horror D&D 5e campaign set in a vampire-ruled nation, where the party — former Blood Cloak enforcers — are caught between the Crimson Court, the Order of Bone, and the human rebellion.

  The Eye of Odin Calls | Shadows of Stravia: Episode 57

  Jul 30, 20262h 4mS1

  The battle for Greydale rages on — and the reinforcements arriving on the field aren't all friendly. Borislav the Bear finally stands face to face with Vishni, and years of grief demand an answer.

  Greydale Burns | Shadows of Stravia: Episode 56

  Jul 22, 20261h 48mS1

  The road home runs through Greydale — and the Order of Aegis Solis has turned the village into an altar. The party slips into the occupied town under cover, and Requiem walks straight through the enemy's checkpoints wearing the face they worship: Saint Elyra. Then the infiltration breaks, and the battle for Greydale begins. Borislav's Moonbeam melts the Order's great ice lens to slag before it can ever be seated — but Vishni refuses to be stopped, beginning the consecration chant without it. With ~40 villagers roped at the pyre pens, the party fights a desperate race against the ritual clock. Half are pulled free. Half are not. Twenty souls go into the pit to feed the charge. And then Vishni sees the bear. One roar of pure rage shatters his concentration, the chant collapses — and the duel Borislav has crossed a country for finally begins. Part 1 of the Battle of Greydale. To be continued. Shadows of Stravia is a homebrew D&D 5e gothic-horror campaign set in a vampire-ruled nation where the party — former Blood Cloak enforcers — are caught between a crumbling Crimson Court, a necromancers' order, and a human rebellion.

  Tear the Heart | Shadows of Stravia: Episode 55

  Jul 8, 20262h 5mS1

  Borislav's been gone a while. You might've wondered where he wandered off to. Turns out the answer is: somewhere cold, somewhere quiet, and somewhere with unfinished business. This episode opens on him — alone, on the road, carrying his axe Hjarta Rifa ("Tear the Heart") and a whole lot of memory he'd rather not be carrying. Then he sees a face across the snow. Vishni. And Borislav is no longer on the road. He's back in the Glade. Back in the worst day of his life. The flashback hits like the axe is named. By the time he catches up with the rest of the party — who are busy processing their own delightful weekend of undead ravens, the Faceless God's job offer to Nyx, and whatever the Light of Doruusk did to everyone's soul — there's no time to sit in the trauma and share feelings. Because Greydale is burning, the Order of Aegis Solis is already there, and the clock is very much not on anyone's side. Feelings later. Running now. ⸻ Highlights 🪓 A cold open on Borislav, alone on the winter road 🗺️ We finally learn what he's been up to all this time ❄️ Hjarta Rifa — "Tear the Heart" — gets properly introduced 👁️ Borislav spots Vishni across the snow 💥 A brutal flashback to the Glade rips the past wide open 🖤 The rage returns — and it has a name attached to it 🐦‍⬛ The party reels from the undead raven and the Faceless God's offer to Nyx 🌫️ Everyone's still shaking off the Light of Doruusk 🤝 Borislav rejoins the party mid-emotional-crisis (perfect timing, buddy) ⏳ No time to grieve — Greydale needs saving, right now 🏃 The party races toward the fight before it's too late 😬 We are all extremely normal about Borislav right now ⚔️ The stage is set for a reckoning that's been years in the making ⸻ 👉 Like, subscribe, and ring the bell to follow the campaign live and never miss an episode. ⸻ Hashtags #DungeonsAndDragons #DnD #DnD5e #ActualPlay #TTRPG #ShadowsOfStravia #FateCasters #LightOfDoruusk #Doruusk #Stravia #Greydale #Borislav #Vishni #HjartaRifa #TearTheHeart #Nyx #Requiem #Zelphira #SmileyTinkersmith #Bumbo #FacelessGod #AegisSolis #ColdOpen #Flashback #DarkFantasyDnD #GothicFantasy #FantasyDrama #RevengeArc #BackstoryEpisode #CharacterMoment #DnDCombat #DnDDrama #GothicHorror #TabletopRPG #LiveDnD Support the show

  Strange Fruit, Part II | Shadows of Stravia: Episode 54

  Jul 1, 20262h 3mS1

  Back in the Grey Plane, beneath the impossible boughs of the exiled Gulthias tree, the party finally stands before the source of the soul plague. But the horror of what they find is far worse than the tree itself. From its vast, twisted branches hang strange fruit. Not apples. Not offerings. Not anything the world was ever meant to grow. Within each swollen fruit, shapes stir in terrible silence—humanoid forms curled in darkness, suspended as if in utero. Half-formed. Waiting. Breathing. Becoming. Around them move root-like shadow puppets, thin and twitching things made of bark, darkness, and stolen instinct. They tend to the fruit with awful devotion, crawling across the branches and roots like servants caring for a nursery. A nursery of souls. The party has only moments to take in the truth before the tree becomes aware of them. The air changes. The roots shift. The fruit trembles. And something deep within the massive trunk begins to wake. Whatever has been feeding on the plague, whatever has been gathering souls from Light of Doruusk, whatever horror has taken root at the center of the Gulthias tree—it emerges. Not as a beast. Not as a spirit. But as the tree’s will made flesh. A guardian born from rot, shadow, and stolen life rises to defend the fruit. And it does not come alone. The shadow puppets stir into violence. The roots begin to move. The Grey Plane twists around the party as the boundary between worlds grows thin and unstable. What follows is one of the most dangerous battles the party has ever faced. Seriously. Eric might TPK the whole party. WTF. With the strange fruit hanging overhead and the souls of another world trapped in the balance, the party is forced into a fight where retreat may be impossible, victory may come too late, and every mistake could mean becoming part of the tree’s next harvest. Because the Gulthias tree is not simply surviving. It is growing something. And now the party has seen it. Some evils do not hide in darkness. Some bloom. Some are tended. And some defend their fruit with everything they have stolen. ⸻ Highlights 🌫️ The party continues their journey inside the Grey Plane 🌳 The Gulthias tree is revealed in its full, horrifying form 🍎 Strange fruit hangs from the tree’s massive boughs 🧍 Humanoid creatures are seen stirring inside the fruit 🕷️ Root-like shadow puppets tend to the fruit like a terrible nursery 🩸 The harvested souls appear to be transforming into something new 👁️ The tree becomes aware of the party’s presence 🌑 Something at the center of the tree awakens ⚔️ A deadly guardian emerges to defend the fruit 🛡️ The party is thrown into a brutal, high-stakes encounter 💀 The battle nearly becomes a total party kill 😱 Eric almost ends the entire campaign and everyone is emotionally unwell 🌌 The Grey Plane twists as the tree fights to protect what it has grown ❓ The party begins to understand that the soul plague is not just feeding the tree—it is helping it create something ⚠️ The true purpose of the strange fruit remains terrifyingly unclear ⸻ 👉 Like, subscribe, and ring the bell to follow the campaign live and never miss an episode. ⸻ Hashtags #DungeonsAndDragons #DnD #DnD5e #ActualPlay #TTRPG #ShadowsOfStravia #FateCasters #LightOfDoruusk #Doruusk #Stravia #Slavoka #GulthiasTree #GreyPlane #SoulPlague #SoulMagic #Nyx #Requiem #Zelphira #Borislav #SmileyTinkersmith #Bumbo #DruidDiviner #TempleRuins #StrangeFruit #DarkFantasyDnD #GothicFantasy #FantasyDrama #DnDCombat #AlmostTPK #DnDBossFight #DeadlyEncounter #CosmicHorror #BodyHorror #DreamMagic #ParallelWorld #FantasyMystery #TabletopRPG #LiveDnD Support the show
