Well that message for Ginger didn't sound good. Like... is she gonna be alright. Terminated doesn't sound like she just got fired, but it's not like they're going to kill her... right? Anyways, now that they've dropped in to the Good Vibrations for a hot second, it's time to set out to find that weird weasel they've been looking for. I sure hope it doesn't get dangers!

Episode 107 - Great Walls of Fire

Aurils island is the place of frozen nightmares. If it's not monstrous Hags beneath the waves, it's sinister imps scheming behind our backs.

We're finally back, so grab a snack, get comfy, and let's do the damn thing!!!!

SQLR: Good Vibrations 49 - The Wielder Summons

The market shenanigans continue as the group tries to get some more info on Talmrin, but there seems to be more of those Draelik skulking about. I have a strong feeling that things are ramping up to get dangerous pretty soon.

Episode 105 - Big Bone Pecker

With hesitation to march into Auril's home, our heroes decide to check in on some ship wrecks in the hopes of finding something that will aid them.
