The Thornberry Dragon (Episode 29)

When Crit Happens

The Ride or Dies take in the view of the burned out valley before setting off with Golmeev in pursuit of a thornberry root, prepared for a dragon to appear at any moment. They find a doomstone, a bush, and you guessed it, a large, flying, angry spirit. In the ensuing encounter, Jo gets into the thicket of it, Jasoo explores a newfound aerial prowess, and Titan tries to threaten a dragon. Poisonous wine-vomit floweth, but the party seems as though they’re going to pull through—until the dragon has one last emotional outburst, that is, and everyone has to ask: is this really happening AGAIN?

Then on Dirty Crit, we get into some nuances of D&D boss fights and how we like to infuse them with narrative.
