DM Liz Harper's Wild Beyond The Witchlight D&D adventure continues as ex-Blizzard Watch lore master extraordinaire Anne Stickney hops aboard the crazy train playing the violence-prone Fairy Key. The band of adventurers then incite a Bullywug civil war, recover a sack full of ponies, and pit King Gallup XIX and Illig, Baron of Muckstump against each other. And it only gets weirder from there.Keep up on all the episodes as they air or catch up on earlier sessions with this playlist: https://soundcloud.com/blizzardwatch/sets/tavern-watch-plays-witchlight Hosted on Acast.
