Kimin's back!
Kimin the Shaman, Uraziti the Spellblade, and Milio the Bard face off against foes in front of them and behind them in an effort to survive long enough to enter the ziggurat at the focal point of the cyclopolis. What they'll find there is anyone's guess, but they begin to get hints of what is to come...

After being taunted by 138-Heads-On-Spikes, Milio the Bard, Uraziti the Spellblade, and Kimin the Shaman, as well as their traveling companion Navaath come face-to-skull with Tmuc, the last warrior-poet of the giants, who was cursed to eternally protect the gate of the Cyclopolis into which our party is seeking entrance.
This one gets fucking wild.
Utagawa Kuniyoshi's spellbinding ukiyo-e triptych of a gashadokuro, a giant skeleton from Japanese folklore, was absolutely a massive part of my Appendix N for this whole series. I'm in love with it. You’ll find it below.

Milio the Bard, Uraziti the Spellblade, and Kimin the Shaman, along with their companion Navaath, tackle some skeletal chariot riders guarding a massive tropaion in the center of an ancient battlefield drenched in the blood of armies.
Then we do some custom move stuff!
And then the party finds themselves suddenly face-to-face with the end...
And that end's face? It's an asshole.

But on their travels, they come under the watchful eye of someone rather intimidating.
Ryan may sound a little weird about halfway through this one - more recording issues on the original, so we had to rerecord the back half. But at least you can understand him this way!

Kimin the Shaman, Uraziti the Spellblade, and Milio the Bard spend the afternoon getting to know their welcoming but mysterious elven hosts, Qo'okal and Navaath. But tension between the party bleeds over to their conversations with the elves as the topic turns toward the mechanisms near the edge of the ridge and knowledge the elves do not wish to share...

Sorry about the stinger on this one...
Kimin the Shaman, Milio the Bard, and Uraziti the Spellblade have narrowly survived a fight with the local, not-quite-alive locals in the Vulturelands. Milio and Uraziti debate who should scout for camp as tensions remain high within our traveling party - which leads to a struggle out of the darkness. Then, Kimin grapples with his proud spirit becoming unmoored from his material body. After an invigorating meal and a good night's rest (as well as some leveling up), they continue onward toward a hint of civilazation. Hopefully what they find there will prove more hospitable than their last encounter...

Our hiatus from Series IX is over! Welcome back to the Vulturelands! And this episode is a doozy.
Milio the Bard, Kimin the Shaman, and Uraziti the Spellblade have reunited, despite the party being split across different dimensions. There is some tension between our adventurers which takes an emotional toll and drags the party's cohesion and morale down. But as they venture forth through the Vulturelands, they quickly realize there are much more dangerous problems than the issues they have with each other. Sometimes you have to put differences aside to work together.
But that doesn't guarantee the dice are going to agree with them...

The standing bones give their first glimpse into the dark, forgotten history of the cyclopes, a glimpse that is difficult for them to withstand.

We join Kimin the Shaman, Uraziti the Spellblade, and Milio the Bard while they investigate a skeleton of a leviathan held aloft by wriggling tendrils. They search for answers that will tell them more about the Vulturelands, but find themselves a little lost. Perhaps they'll get lucky and find their guide!

Apologies for the audio in this episode. We had a problem with our setup during this recording that we did not realize until much later. I'm labeling this Chapter 0 because, while it establishes details that will return later, it can be skipped with regards to the main adventure if the audio problems are an issue. I will provide a summary in the comments of the episode (and eventually plan to have a full transcript). I hope the issues aren't too distracting, though, because while it might stand alone as a subsection of this adventure I honestly believe this episode is very strong in content and character development. Please give it a shot.
