In this week’s descent into madness, our heroes meet the ruler of the Swine Kingdom—a charming slab of bacon with a god complex and daddy issues bigger than Zordos’ kill count. Theoren stays strapped and unbothered. Maria connects ancient runes to her own trust issues. Rozzy enters his stab-happy arc, which somehow qualifies as character development.And Zordos? He doesn’t commit arson. Which is deeply suspicious.

Meat walls writhe. Secrets drip. And somewhere, a pig squeals in celestial tongue.This isn’t a dungeon crawl — it’s a breakup letter to your sanity.

⚠️ Caution: Contains gore, guilt, greasy royalty, and absolutely no healing potions.

This week on The Spirit Heart Tavern Podcast: Darkest Descent, the party proves that Swine Kingdom negotiations are best handled with bacon grease and bad decisions.

Zordos picks up a scroll made of flesh because apparently “paper cuts” weren’t horrific enough. Maria valiantly tries to be tactical in a party that treats strategy like a rumor, Theoren handles swine cult negotiations like a mob boss at a farmers market, while Rozzie gets an X stamped into her arm, instantly promoted to Club Cursed’s “Bleed & Feed” rewards program.

With riddles that sound like pork-flavored philosophy and a negotiation table coated in nightmares, the gang proves one thing: bacon diplomacy is great… right up until it eats you first.

Disclaimer: Bacon diplomacy, cursed riddles, and one unbothered gangster may leave your alignment crying in the corner.

This week, Theoren meets with a spy, opens a cursed seal like it’s a bottle of wine, and casually decapitates a bandit just to prove a point. He threatens the caretaker with all the warmth of a best man speech, and forms a deeply unsettling friendship with Zordos, finally answering the question: “What if arson had a plus-one?”

Meanwhile, Maria debates whether her glowing necklace is a symbol of destiny, divine guidance, or just a glorified fantasy flashlight.

This episode has everything: secret meetings, smooth threats, magical mood lighting, missing heads, and a friendship forged entirely in bad decisions.

Hit play—because this is what happens when crime meets charisma.
