The stage lights have dimmed, the applause has faded, and the laughter still echoes a little too long. The crew gathers around the table—not for battle, but for breath.

Join the cast of Crit Happens! as they unwind after the House of Fun arc: talking through the traps that tested their nerves, the confessions that cost blood, and the lessons hidden behind the jokes. From near-death theatrics to Nyros’ rebirth and Zebulon’s vow of water-only discipline, the players pull back the curtain on what it felt like inside Virelios’ most dangerous carnival.

Expect laughter, reflection, and maybe a little chaos as the party decompresses, debates their best (and worst) rolls, and shares what they learned about their characters—and themselves—inside the House that wanted to understand them.

“You can’t spell ‘fun’ without ‘uhhh.’”

🎙️ A special roundtable episode where the players of Crit Happens! step out of character, pour a drink (or just water), and unpack the madness behind the magic.

The laughter fades, but the House isn’t done playing.

After surviving the stage and the Goblin’s performance, our Syndicate agents press deeper into the House of Fun, where patience becomes a weapon and the walls breathe in time with the ticking of unseen gears. Traps whisper lessons about virtue, and every choice weighs heavier than the last.

Acid swamps, half-spoken vows, and the haunting promise of a final curtain call—this “day off” turns into a descent into spectacle and self. The party will learn what it costs to be clever… and what it means when the applause finally stops.

“Glory is cheap. Meaning is expensive.”

🕯️ Part II of the House of Fun arc — where the laughter cracks, the truth bleeds through, and every virtue is tested beneath the stage lights.

The Syndicate promised a week of rest and amusement… but when our agents step through the lacquered doors of the House of Fun, they find laughter has a sharper edge.
Bright lights, false smiles, and a stage that demands performance—the kind that draws blood when you miss your cue.

Svara, Zebulon, Nyros, Ogaman, Kasdeya, and Osysa test their teamwork in a theater of tricks, uncovering that every joke hides a threat and every spotlight hides something watching. The first half of their “day off” crescendos in the Goblin Puzzle, a performance that’s less riddle and more ritual.

The applause comes a heartbeat too late.

“Welcome to the show, darlings—remember, the House always gets its laugh.”

🕯️ Part I of the House of Fun arc — a deadly day off full of spectacle, paranoia, and puzzles that remember who you are.
