Started listeni g to this after joining the kickstarter and OMG this campaign is absolutely insanely good! I have so many ideas on how to add some more horror to the two campaigns I'm running atm ❤ thank you for all your amazing content! Thanks to you all I'm running both Wild beyond the witchlight and curse of strahd!
He's referencing the old feywild campaign with the original itterations of frost, Gricko and Kremy. If you are a patron it's in their vault, the campaign is wild and it's so strange to see how the characters were first played back then! Unfortunately some of the episodes are missing and it's not the complete campaign, but there are some absolutely bonkers moments
6:22 Oh noooo 7:44 Oh ok the mask is fine, and I love the way Derek went the extra mile to roleplay Lethica putting the mask on and tying her hair up 8:44 Jericho 😂 12:48 Well tbf i thought the bartender drugged them but yea not everyone drank stuff ooops 24:03 Damn Marius... 24:16 Yorgrim asked the question i was thinking 👀 26:00 More info on Lethica's background 32:46 more on Jericho's backstory 33:39 👀 35:50 Ok so Jericho was basically created to lure folk into the woods and i'm assuming the hags killed those folks and used them as sacrifices to summon the demon. 37:21 Well this answers where the hags went gaddamn Virgil Jericho: Well, they was all in Virgil's belly as far as I'm concerned. Marius: You poor creature. Briggsy: Well, so they got what they fuckin deserved. Jericho: W-well, I don't know if that's true. They was real nice to me and they said they- they cared for me and loved me and- and that was real nice. And- and ever since then it's just been me and Virgil. And I haven't- he's been lingering around, I don't know- and they've never told me what I was s'posed to do once Virgil got here. fck I feel so bad for Jericho 😭😭 40:21 "He's awful fond of secrets" 👀 42:33 The banjo has runes 👀

@LegendsofAvantris I'm late, but it would be hilarious if Philip needed the Amber from the Crooked House to make a Key after realizing he misplaced the other one because he has a hoarding problem.
As much as I love the idea of a twilight world, I wonder if anyone from say, Svalbard ever watches a campaign like this & says "That's just winter where I live!"
2:00 is this a generalization, or is there actually a magical force forcing creatures to need sleep? Like does this apply to unsleeping races like elves? Or do all races sleep in Avantris/other realms? Edit: forgot what happened last episode, I'm now assuming it was my first guess?
I’m sad we didn’t learn anything about Farryns dream that was the dream I was most interested in since I didn’t expect Farryn to be associated with lust and also I find her character very interesting and want to know more about her past and her in general.
