Ep. 54 Song of the Treespeaker

Things can surface whether you’re ready for them or not, a past drifting up, a present holding steady, or a future that leaves you with more questions than answers. Reflections don’t always clarify so much as they reveal, and not everyone is ready to accept what waits beneath the surface.Impatience has a way of being louder than wisdom, but magic has little interest in being shouted into submission. The water may wish to keep its counsel, and the forest has never been impressed by volume.There are other ways to be h...

Action Surge Episode 53

Kel with HIS spoons. This episode of Action Surge is a little different, but before you find out why, please enjoy a very long-winded explanation about why Ben got pizza sauce on his top. Turns out we got REALLY unlucky (or very lucky, if you love narratively satisfying storytelling) in our d4 rolls for the trial. But that's pretty par for the course by now really. Find out which dark and twisted tomes Harry pulled our horrific opponents from, how difficult this group (still) is to balance, and how the party feel about THAT near death...

Ep. 53 Boorish Rebuke

Some moments don’t wait for speeches or second thoughts, because in the space between one breath and the next, perfection can become perilous when the gauntlet begins. Sharpen your senses, steady your nerves, and take the initiative to jump into the fray, because while beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, it’s best not to look it directly in the eye.Confidence might be slowly peeled away and fear might be getting under your skin, but all you need to survive is remember just how impressive you are. After all, humility may be o...

Action Surge Episode 52

This episode was a nice reminder that you never quite know what you are going to get. We mean, who knew that trees would love a bit of gossip?It’s wild to think that everything with the now aptly named Sword of the Flood, a cursed item that is a shock to absolutely nobody, started all the way back in episode 37. It really shows just how much has happened, and how far we have come (ugh) as a group.Those dreams? Isolation might have been the theme, but Elowen ha...

Ep. 52 The Sword of The Flood

When who you are and who you might become begin to blur, it’s no longer about the enemy you’re facing, but the truth you’ve been avoiding. A promise of power doesn’t mean it belongs in your hands. Strength can be taken, it can be wielded, but it’s not the only way to endure. Sometimes the fight is not against the unknown, but against something that understands you all too well. And when nightmares stop being warnings and start becoming challenges, the only way forward is to meet them face to face, even when i...

The action is surging. It's very surgy.Out of a possible 600, we got 542, which, considering the investment we have made into this city, does feel pretty fair, even if we did have to end this episode on a slightly more serious note. And no, we are not talking about a pickled egg pocket.Harry walks us through the mechanics of the city and what helped us land such a strong result in the mustering. We're thrilled to learn there was always a chance at a participation medal, but thanks to our hard work...

Ep. 51 The Sins of the Sinless

As the echoes of celebration fade, what remains are the conversations that linger long after the music has stopped. In the quiet aftermath of joy, truths surface more easily, fears are shared more freely, and the weight of what comes next can no longer be ignored. When the night ends, leadership is no longer a title to avoid, but a role that must be claimed.Yet even as resolve hardens, doubt finds its way in. Nightmares linger, questions sharpen, and trust begins to strain under the weight of secrets left unspoken. Knowledge calls to those willing...

We’re high on life, we’re high on ourselves, and Ben Starr is all shirt.We’ve made it to Episode 50, so naturally the conversation turns to rolling for ejaculation. Harry did warn us that if you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. Unfortunately for him, he underestimated just how stupid the games we’re willing to play actually are, and now he’s somehow having to shoehorn that energy into what is supposed to be a rich and complex fantasy world.We also discuss our homework. Harry set us a simple and...

Ep. 50 Dressed to Impress

Sometimes, amid the pain and the long road behind you, moments of joy find their way through. Milestones worth celebrating, not because they have been easy, but because of everything it took to reach them. A chance to breathe, to relax, and to remember why you keep going at all. After all, when you’re feeling a little stiff, a moment of relaxation can ease tension you didn’t even know you had.And while choices are cut and confidence measured, every stitch says something about who you are and what you are willing to show.

Alex is a slow burn hottie and we cannot lie, which is wild, given that none of this is real.We start by doing Aoife’s favourite thing, praising her. She did an incredible job with the story and we absolutely need to celebrate that, even if she refuses to let us. Harry then reveals the true purpose of Talisca, and how the mechanics of the city were all designed around us, finally accepting that we might actually be heroes. Even if we did experience it all wildly out of order. Sorry, Harry. He also shares wh...

Ep. 49 No Secrets Among Friends

There are stories that live in the moonlight, and carried by voices willing to give them breath. Tales passed down, reshaped, and shared again, woven with hope, wonder, and the reminder that beauty is worth protecting. In the glow of lanterns, a single story rises above the quiet, gathering hearts together in a moment almost bright enough to chase the shadows away.But even the most hopeful tale must make room for truth, and some truths arrive with weight. In the wake of stolen joy, choices must be made, and consequences must be faced. The path...

Want to know how the sausage was made? Well, in this week’s episode of Action Surge, we reveal far too much. Including how Doug removed and ate the filling from a sausage roll, then folded the pastry back together and put it back in the bag. Frankly, abhorrent.Once we have accepted that Doug might be a killer, it is back to D&D. We talk about those little shards of broken gem, and how utterly shocked Harry was when we casually ignored every piece of breadcrumbing he tried to lay down. We reflect on ho...

Ep. 48 Diamonds in the Rough

There are times when victory tastes sweet, when flowers bloom, and cheers swell, and the world feels ready to celebrate. But even triumph can feel heavy when the noise grows too loud and when the eyes that follow expect too much. Sometimes the only way to breathe is to slip away and wander the quieter corners of a city that no longer remembers how to shine.For in the places where stories were once told freely, silence has begun to settle. Words falter, inspiration dries, and even the brightest spirits dim beneath an unseen weight. Joy...

There are moments when spirits sink low, and the world needs something bold enough to send a ripple running through the darkness. Hope always has a way of coming back to the surface, rising on a swell of laughter, competition, and the kind of enthusiasm that refuses to stay anchored for long.Sometimes all it takes is a little mischief to keep the current moving. And when the race begins? Well, decorum might take a holiday, rules might drift conveniently out of sight, and the idea of always coming first becomes a touch…shellfish. Tricks can se...

This might genuinely be some of the dumbest nonsense we have ever done. An avalanche, but backwards, improvised on the spot. Sure. Why not.We start this week’s Action Surge with a quick visit to the media pen, because it is all about those important post-race interviews. Eyes firmly on the prize as we reflect on what was, honestly, an incredibly fitting conclusion for a horrible, misshapen horse.This episode took a turn that absolutely nobody was ready for, but was it fun? Absolutely. Raidion walks away with some extra movement, and Ao...
