The party continues their fight against the creatures from the Astral plane. They split apart to avoid the anti-magic cone in the middle of the field. Rule number 1, never split the party. Let's see how this works for them. To be continued after this episode. Sorry for the split up BBEG.
The party faces off against whatever it was Bery was fighting on the other side of the rift in the Astral Plane. Magic is acting up for some reason and the party can barely see what they are fighting.

The party makes a quick stop at the Astral Plane while they rest to return one badger to his husband badger, but something familiar and unfriendly comes back with them. All this while waiting for the last hag to appear.
The Critters continue their fight against this annis hag despite thinking it was a night hag. Champion is focused on murder in an attempt to save those children in the hut. The party focuses their attention to the old woman looking for answers.
The party finishes their rest and look toward the next target. Information being thrown around isn't all correct, but they run toward the target hoping to figure everything out along the way. Maybe answer can be found as they get closer to the end of this coven.

The early days of the Covid19 Pandemic wreak havoc on our game with sound issues and a lost potion of data. And yet, our party continues forward. I try to make up for the lost bits with a summary of what had happened, along with references in later episodes as to what was missed. This week we release two episodes to compensate for the lesser due to error.
Is Honey's healing enough to counter the damage of these rude humanoids? The party struggles to end this fight alive.
Bery runs into another room filled with cultists. It's possible the cult is dealing with dwarves and elves from below ground.

Our Critters enter yet another fight. Except this time the enemy isn't scared. I hope our party can handle the dark.
The party levels up in an awkward spot and thus the episode is split strangely. It's like a shopping episode without shopping.

Our not always so friendly critters continue fighting and searching the swamp for what might have caused them. Consequences await!

Our Party returns to the Thorny Grove. They are judged by Melchior and tasked with another mission; to return from whence they came! Back to where this mess started to figure out how it started.
Our party begins the process of solving the puzzles to fulfill their side of the Parley agreement. Hopefully the orcs will leave once the job is done. Are riddles puzzles? Sure, let's call them puzzles. The more important question is who is going to clean the castle after the orcs if they succeed, or whose blood will be spilled if they fail?
