Hi! We’re back to recording episodes. This bonus clip gives a sneak-peek preview of the next session story “Trouble in the Forest” (a pre-written adventure by Brian Benoit of Roving Band of Misfits , compatible with Justin Halliday’s Hero Kids Setting).
This episode our heroes recover after the skirmish with the dragon. And pick up the next day. (This episode will be released twice, once with a solo intro. And a second time with the rest of the players joining for the second half). Want to call in to voice your thoughts or plot ideas, you can do so here: https://anchor.fm/TheHeroKids/message

We return to our adventurers riding back to Rivenshore. They had just saved Mortin the Mage from his arcane contraptions, and now seek some rest and relaxation at the town’s mess hall. Unfortunately two unexpected guests interrupt their meal.

In this episode, we the listener take a trip through the village of Rivenshore. We’ll meet the colorful folk that work and live in the fields and docks. Learn who works the anvil that can be heard midday. And hint at the secrets laying under the dirt streets. All sound effects and music from TabletopAudio.com. (Warning this episode is still a work in progress currently, but I wanted to get something out rather than nothing.)
Notice: This bonus episode has Robert become the Game Master in a campaign setting he’s been requesting. In it, the two players (me, and Damian) have special BeyBlades and challenge the champion head on in a match of chaos. Episode Image from: https://www.pngwave.com/png-clip-art-cchdn
Picking up where we left off, Alergress is joined by two new heroes (one relatively familiar to us), and face off against the tengu Kenji as he tries to cheat the election.

We continue our leap through the past, and learn Alergress was found and adopted in Emerald Village. Unsure of who here people are or were, she adapts to the town and takes on a large leadership role that comes into threat.

Having defeated their froggy foes, our adventurers finish the ride to Mortin’s tower. But what threats face them? Will their greed betray them? Will fear grip their actions? Will they recoil from the danger of the Wizard’s creations!?! (Spoiler alert: no.). Listen as they save this poor wizard from his own fate.
What could be watching our heroes from the murky swamps? Here we resolve the ambush-fight before our arrival at the Tower. (This episode is more of a solo-narrative style with re-added clips due to a recording error.)
In this solo episode, I give a rundown of Justin Halliday’s tabletop rpg system “Hero Kids” for those unfamiliar with it. I then give an overview of the setting, my additions to it, and lastly our characters in it.

IRL we start off strong by not realizing I’ve been recording us for over a minute.. In the Brecken Vale however, our young heroes begin their journey lounging by the piers and enjoying the sun. That is—until a pesky bird intrudes on their day.
This first ever recording was done with a cold and all of us on self-quarantine/cabin fever. Next episode includes “Attack of the Frogkin”.
