  Collateral Damage - Number 8

  Aug 14, 20262h 16mS10

  The Blooming Court Ch 14 We start with the party finalizing the details of their gamble, making The Executioner a double agent. The party then returns to Dorna's home to regroup, shop, decompress, and figure out their next move. After grabbing breakfast, Hoshino's inability to taste anything but ash comes up again, and the group raises the idea of finding something to help him enjoy food and drink again. Afterward, the group receives their custom orders, which were dropped off at Dorna's home.  After taking some stock, the party decides to stretch their legs and do some more shopping while they're still in the technologically advanced plane of Iwi. There's quite a bit of shopping for very specific items, Zechs and Shanks getting custom arrows, for instance. Some items from their inventory and bag of holding get traded for gold or toward another item or enchantment.  We end shopping with some custom requests from Glad, a staff modification for Hoshino, and some healing potions for the group. Duo talks with Zechs about getting into the fight more, and they have a serious talk about expectations and trust, but ultimately Duo gets what he wants. Zechs also gets sat down to review all the media Duo consumed while in Iwi and says that if he's going to have a callsign, he wants something other than Goose, and to let him think on it. Dorna takes Glad and Salix to the rooftop garden she has, and they connect over their love of nature. There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up… Find out what happens next in this episode of the Medusa’s Cascade: Collateral Damage!

  Collateral Damage - Take a Beat

  Aug 7, 20262h 35mS10

  The Blooming Court Ch. 13 The battle continues, and it's anyone's guess as to who will come out on top. While the party does manage to gain the advantage, the opposition has the numbers on their side and spell resistances. Arguile is dominated and told to take out the healer, who is, circumstantially, Salix. Shanks goes down but is picked right back up with a combat medic maneuver from Duo via a Goodberry. Immediately after getting up, Shanks takes out the person who dominated Arguile, freeing him of the spell. Glad and Galahad make quick work, tearing through the cannon fodder; eventually, the fighting comes to a close, and the party can heal and rest up until the Force Cage spell drops on the Executioner. It's during the conversation with The Executioner that the party discovers where her allegiances truly lie. Galahad takes the lead in this and not only gets her true name, but also her complicated situation and turn of events that led her into league with The Constable. At one point, it's revealed that The Judge is the surviving member of the Gargoyle Unit, the same elite unit that Argo and Antonius are surviving members of in this reality.  With revelations made, cards put on the table, and newfound allies formed, the party works with The Executioner to be a double agent, which will prove very tricky and dangerous but would be a huge win for them and their allies who are trying to stop the planes from colliding.

  Blood & Booze - City of Dragons

  Jul 24, 20262h 15mS3

  Trouble in Zur Algud Ch. 1 With the battle still underway, the group uses all they have in their various kits. The cleric begins to look hurt, but the fight is far from over. In retaliation towards Thorak, the cleric casts Harm on one half of the Slash Bros. Valen, trying to test his luck with his magical flask, drinks an Elven Ale called PolyPilsner, which polymorphs the monk into a canary. Chan summons a flame strike on the flesh effigy, and it does even more damage than expected; as a result, her flames that she's done so well to control and suppress thus far are now beginning to go wild. A giant sunbeam from the Mad Cleric takes out a good number of the team, rendering them unconscious. The team's own cleric, Thorak, helps Chantico back up with a Cure Wounds spell. As she comes to, she uses burning hands on the cleric of Hastur, finally putting an end to him.  They don't have time to celebrate; they pick up their fallen allies and begin to make a fast exit. The blob makes an unsettling sound that brings back some "familiar" faces. The andrite in the mines begins to explode as the group attempts to flee and fight as they head out of the mines. Chan calls to the Daughters of Creation and Enya to aid in the safe exit of her friends and companions. Calling three scorching rays towards the monsters closing in on the group, which coalesces into a sphere surrounding the group as Enya attempts to teleport them out. It is successful, and in a flash they are outside the mines, and as they look behind them, they feel the immense explosion that erupts from the mines. After the smoke and dust settles, they realize that Chan is no longer with them. The party is embraced, arriving in Tradeshore as heroes, as Hanith Blackburn sent word of their heroic deeds. They are offered a reward to Zur Algud to celebrate the upcoming Festival of the Children, accommodations at the Ebon Wing Lodge, a 10g-a-day stipend, and access to the family's teleportation circles to travel to and from. We finish with the varying accounts of what the party did in the three weeks leading up to their travel for the festival. From one adventure to the next, they sharpen their skills, broaden their horizons, and prepare for a time of reprieve and revelry if it were only that simple. There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up… Find out what happens next in this episode of the Medusa’s Cascade: Blood & Booze Theme Music is written and performed by Efflorescence Title Card by Pierce Graphics  Mixed by Thomas Lapierre III Check out the show at themedusascascade.com Hosted on Acast.

  Collateral Damage - The Twist

  Jul 17, 20262h 10mS10

  The Blooming Court Ch. 12 The party glances upon the true Song Bloom and chooses one that they think will please the Queen. It, however, takes some time and teamwork to figure out how to properly remove it and keep it intact and healthy for travel. Zechs manages to uproot the Song Bloom and, with the aid of Galahad, makes a makeshift pot for it to travel with.  Before heading to the Queen straightaway, the group, using Arguile's Rope Trick spell, devises a plan for what they should do if things inevitably go sideways. Taking all possible scenarios into account, they agree to try to avoid fighting at all costs, but if it comes down to it, so be it.  The party presents the Song Bloom to the Queen's approval, but after getting what she wanted, she promptly leaves, and a fight between her guards and the party ensues. The twist? A familiar halberd wielder joins the fray as The Executioner makes her attack as well. The fight is intense as each side pulls out its big guns, trying to overwhelm its opposition. Ultimately, through a lot of teamwork, grit, and heavy swings of their weapons, the party manages to shift the tides to interrogate The Executioner when the dust settles.  There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up… Find out what happens next in this episode of the Medusa’s Cascade: Collateral Damage!
