The shadows lengthen over the Dessarin Valley as the siege of Red Larch reaches a fever pitch. In this pulse-pounding episode, the party is forced to split their strengths to survive the night. Drakhan and Varulle stand as a final, bloody line of defense, holding the barricades against a relentless tide of snarling lycan forces. Their steel and sorcery are all that keep the village from being completely overrun, but as the screams of the pack echo through the streets, it becomes clear that even their bravery has a limit.

While the front lines hold, Flinth, Belladonna, and Renzor embark on a desperate heist into the heart of the village. They race toward the town hall in search of the only thing that can turn the tide: a cache of silver weaponry. Amidst the smoke of the burning village, they encounter a mysterious Aarakocra, an eagle-like humanoid whose sky-high perspective reveals a horror yet unseen. As the buildings crumble into ash, the sinister Cregan weaves through the wreckage, cruelly possessing the bodies of dying villagers to bolster his own dark ranks. The air is thick with soot and betrayal—will our heroes find the silver in time, or will Red Larch become a graveyard of cinders?

And remember dear audience, don’t forget to vote on election day.

Varulle’s "friendship" with the serpent-tattooed cultist was a masterclass in lethal charm—a calculated dance of shared flasks and whispered lies designed to map the path to their inner sanctum. The ruse was working perfectly until the air shattered with the unmistakable roar of Renzor’s steel and Belladonna’s jagged incantations. Their "rescue" attempt, though noble in its misguided fury, instantly vaporized Varulle’s cover, turning a subtle infiltration into a chaotic bloodbath. Now, the trio finds themselves backed against the soot-stained walls of a crumbling tavern, the deceptive warmth of friendship replaced by the searing heat of a village in flames.

As Redlarch burns around them, the "mysterious friend" has vanished into the smoke, replaced by a tide of hooded zealots emerging from the shadows. Survival now demands a frantic, unscripted synergy: Varulle weaving through the embers to parry lunging blades, Renzor acting as a bulwark against the mounting cultist press, and Belladonna desperately channeling magic to hold back the encroaching inferno. To escape the cinders of Redlarch, they must fight not as separate entities, but as a single, desperate flame flickering against the dark.

They came from the sky.

From deep space.

From the ocean.

From government labs that absolutely should’ve been shut down.

This week on the podcast… we launch a full-blown 32-movie Alien Tournament.

From classic sci-fi terror to ridiculous B-movie chaos…

From slow-burn paranoia to flamethrower-level destruction…

Only ONE alien movie walks out alive.

Will it be a cold, atmospheric masterpiece?

A pulse-pounding war against the unknown?

Or something so unhinged it wins purely on vibes?

We’re debating.

We’re arguing.

We’re probably disrespecting a sacred classic.

And yes… upsets will happen.

Kicking off the Valentines Day Party..

This week we built a 32-seed bracket of pure musical middle fingers.

Breakup anthems. Petty revenge tracks. Glow-up bangers. Full-volume rage classics. If it screams “I’m done” or “get out of my life,” it made the list.

We seeded them by impact, venom, and how hard they make you want to slam a door.

Only one song can be crowned the ultimate “F*ck Off” anthem.

So grab your beer, and Let the disrespect begin.
