Typical. With all the double-crossing going on, who is friend and who is foe? You must listen to finally know!
Baerdram has no option but to start the Blood Bowl alone, while the rest of the Crit Crew race to save Leaf from an unknown fate. Will Vugg be the last thing Leaf ever sees? How many throats will Baerdram claim before the day is done? Tune in!
Once again, Baerdram's battle prowess grabs the attention of a female combatant. She divulges information that gives hints that there may be a deeper, more violent plan in the works than the Crew previously thought. And Leaf has an episode of déjà vu.

We answer fan submitted questions about the previous arc, past episodes, and personal lives! Join us for the Block Party!
Upon reaching the throne room, The Crew is met with more faces from their past. Though it seems a lot has changed from the last time they all crossed paths... Mainly, like, the ability to manipulate the dead and stuff. Among other things. This one gets pretty gross and bloody. Sorry if you're squeamish.
After a very violent and bloody tour of D-Rac's castle, the Crew finally reaches the throne room where they've been told the Ice Priest is being held! What could go wrong?
The haziness of Aweyn's past becomes a bit more clear as we delve deeper into that fateful night in his kingdom's throne room. Memories and emotions manifest that will completely BLOW you away. And the New Crits Crew beat up a buncha dummies.

The New Crits Crew have to decide whether or not they're going to let this newfound "dark informant" free of his imprisonment. Pros? He apparently knows where to find the ice priest they have been looking for. Cons? Literally everything else.
Our adventurers begin their perilous trek up the mountain to reach the super spooky castle atop it. We should have called this Race To Sisyphus Mountain. You'll get why. And the group hears a strangely familiar voice...
The group puts their encampment assualt into action, with a little help from a spell that Borel somehow hasn't cast until now. And we all hear how to create the perfect Kill Zone. Learning is fun!
After years of running, Aewyn is finally forced to come face to face with his past. And the longest recorded game of Marco Polo finally comes to an end.
After releasing the town of Brierbeck from the clutches of an evil force, the group sets off into the nearby forest in hopes of finding their Ice Cube Priest. Also, a brand new type of weapon is discovered!
Engaged in a heated battle, the group must call upon Borel's newly unlocked powers (and I guess Katon's, too) if they have any chance of snatching victory from the fangs of defeat.
Borel's budding powers begin to blossom after years of being trapped deep within his memories. And Katon fights off evil with the strongest weapon known to man... BARS.
Our adventurers split the party (yikes) as half of them try to save the townsfolk from a burning building while the others give chase to The Shrouded Figure.
Katon rolls up his plate-sleeves and gets down with the sickness that's been plaguing the town. The group's dinner party gets interrupted by some uninvited guests.
Our adventurers (reluctantly) continue on their journey, with their new task being to find the Ice Cube Priest! Along the way, Aewyn narrowly avoids being found by people who have been trying to track him for a long time...
Following a successful break-in to the vault, the group has to escape undetected and attempt to break Borel out of his egg-fueled trance.
With the CORRECT vault now in their sights, the group improvises a new plan to break into it. While doing so, one of them gets a bit hot under the collar.
Against all odds, the group successfully broke into the vault! But... it was possibly the wrong one? Without any other plans in place, they're now forced to do the thing they're "best" at: wingin' it. Baerdram initiates and then deescalates a bar fight. Borel disciplines his underlings the best way he knows how. And Katon is forced to part with the one thing he loves most.
With all the proper pieces in place, the group begins to put their mastermind-level plan into action. Leaf brushes up on her Rat Stats. Baerdram lands his dream job as a make-believe bartender. Borel becomes a master of disguise. And Katon tries his hand at mediating instead of instigating.
Now that our adventurers are aware that they're wanted persons, they start to devise a plan that will help them fly under the radar during their heisty deeds. Baerdram has a campaign-long dream come true. Aewyn Razz's the security. And Borel meets a childhood hero.
Our adventurers head to Luskan to meet with the Information Broker that they hope holds knowledge of how to help keep Phillipa's hostile magic in check. Leaf brings a bear to a bar fight. Aewyn succumbs to peer pressure. A sketch artist tries his hand at capturing the group's essence. And the 100% real Brad Pitt stops by!
We wrap up our second arc by taking and answering questions from our wonderful, loyal fans out there! We talk about our favorite parts of the arc, what our biggest struggles are while creating a podcast, and so much more! Join us at our Block Party!
While our adventurers completed their mission and saved the forest, it seems as though things have changed in unexpected ways. To fix Phillipa's amulet, Hagar sends the group on a Fetch Quest. A man spared has seemingly turned over a new reef. And the party levels up to level 7!
While imminent danger has seemingly been avoided, a new threat may have just shown their familiar face. Aewyn awakens from a power nap. Borel becomes a proud papa. And Leaf curses the only way Leaf can...
Borel conjures up an old relic to help with a distraction. Baerdram can't seem to stay upright. Katon comes face to face with some family matters. And Leaf tries to be the fastest bear!!!
We get a final glimpse into Katon's past that partly reveals why he has that prickly demeanor he carries around. Borel wants to leave. Now. Leaf looks for the perfect suitor for a spell. Aweyn snuffs out a firestarter.
Our adventurers finally meet the man in the iron mask! Katon sees a ghost from his past. And everyone has to deal with one of the hardest encounters you could ever possibly have... A Bridge Boss. Oh, and Leaf wants to melt a guy's hands.
The group makes its way further into the mysterious cave. They make a new friend!... after hurting him horribly. We learn that Katon was basically the worst son of all time. Borel tries his hand at disguised infiltration. And Aewyn Assassin's Creed-s it.
Our adventurers learn that the next part of their quest could turn out to be a real pain and in the rear. And they also devise a stealthy infiltration plan that is hopefully squeaky clean. And you will hear Jake roar in a completely original, unique way.
The group plays "matchmaker." Aewyn and Baerdram play good cop/bad cop. Katon plays "Strip the Captive Nude"....again... And a tree talks!
Aewyn gets WAY too into music. Borel brings snowballs to a fire party. Baerdram carries the weight for multiple party members. This episode's got everyone feelin' Hot Hot Hot!
After narrowly making their harrowing escape, the gang has to decide what to do with their new House-Man/Man-House "friend." Phillipa loses control as tensions get icy. And Katon relives some of his farm life upbringing.
After narrowly escaping capture and perhaps death, our seafaring adventurers pick up a strange frequency on their BoulderTooths™... What is the source of this mysterious message? Which of them entered this ghoulish giveaway? Find out in our Halloween themed one-shot. MWAHAHAHAHHAHHAHA!
We wrap up our first arc by taking and answering questions from fans, family, and friends. Want to know what our favorite animals are? Or what video games we hold near and dear to our hearts? Tune in and join the Block Party!
Our first arc wraps up with our adventurers getting to test out their running legs followed by their sea legs. Things are so much more exciting out on the water! There's synchronized water ski shows, aerial acrobatics, and we even get to see a familiar face. Ahoy!
The "Penthouse Dungeon" questions finally gets answered once and for all. Aewyn springs the other royal sibling. Leaf sweet-talks her way into a private tour of the castle. And Katon participates in a... dance off?... We're just as shocked as you.
After following a tip from one of the royal siblings, our adventurers trade in their dirty rags for sweet suits and handbags. False identities are given, musical supergroups are created, and pieces of the puzzle begin to come together.
Leaf practices her catcall prowess, Katon forgets his name, and Borel tries his hand at his most difficult task yet... babysitting duty... All while the group stumbles upon an idea for Neverwinter's hit new TV show!
Our adventurers meet a man-house, Borel goes behind enemy lines, and everyone learns one of life's most valuable lessons: "When one door closes, two more get punched open."
New contract terms are "negotiated." Things get a little "explosive" for our adventurers. Baerdram "saves" a new friend. And Leaf... "helps."
Borel lights the forest on fire. Leaf blows wind. Katon gets stabbed. A lot. Aewyn runs laps around a cart. And Baerdram Bourbonbeard meets his match (in more ways than one). This one gets a little weird, but... IT'S A FIGHT EPISODE!
Our adventurers set up camp for the night... where secrets are both revealed AND kept! Katon boasts that he knows how to "operate horses." The bonds of loose friendships begin to form. And death threats are exchanged.
Our Discord is LIVE! We'd love to have you be a part of our wonderful, budding community.

Join today!
Our 5 adventurers all meet at the local tavern they've been summoned to (obviously) as they learn about the details of their job from their more-than-suspicious contractor. They set out shortly after, but not before attending to a little "business" first...
Join us as Dungeon Master Jake tries to set up the world and our players Kristy (Leaf), Ben (Katon), Matt (Aewyn), Joe (Baerdram), and Brian (Borel) "help" him as he stumbles his way through it. We are New Crits on the Block.
