Tales From The Glass-guarded World

We're finally here at the end of Season One! Will our heroes smash the Soul Jar? If they do, what happens next? What does it all mean?  We'll have a Season One "post-mortem" episode next week, and then we'll be on hiatus for a while. Thanks for listening! Be sure to check in with us on Twitter and Facebook, or send us an email at tftggw@gmail.com!

It's the penultimate episode of Season One! The party plots, plans, and schemes for their attack on the Soul Jar. Can you feel the tension rising? 

We're almost at the end of Season One! Be sure to visit us on Twitter @TFTGGW, and on Facebook at facebook.com/talesfromtheglassguardedworld. You can also email us at tftggw@gmail.com.  The party is finally in Arrival, and their next destination is Tara's family home, Deyn Manor. The time has come for them to plot the destruction of the Soul Jar. Hopefully they won't encounter anyone annoying from Tara's past along the way. 

If they're going to destroy the Soul Jar, the party has to get to Arrival. Unfortunately, the Iron Empire has other ideas. 

It's time to discuss the Truths of Foresight with Mun the Immortal. Is it really a good idea to break the Soul Jar, freeing the souls of all the world's dead? How does Lumpen feel about being back at Mun's tower? What should they do next? Find out on today's episode!

How are Bud and Bart doing? How much would Sigbert like a pair of Boots of Elvenkind? What's Carlton the Cruel up to these days? Is his aqueduct fixed, and if so, is he grateful? He didn't seem all that cruel, right?  All these questions and more are answered in today's episode!

Having arrived safely in Luttenhaven, a port on the Magistracy coast, the party encounters an old frenemy and does some party management. 

It won't take Aster long to take that beautiful Whistling Rapier, but what then? Surely that's not the last of the loot! And will they be able to escape with everything they've stolen? 

Due to difficulties with our recording schedule, we put together a one-off flashback episode about Chris's character, Aster Fortuna, the half-elf rogue and bard. He had an interesting life back on Arrival, before he went out to explore the world.  We're also joined by Josh, who plays Gasten, Aster's adoptive father. 

It's time for the adventurers to part ways with the Iron Empire while they still can. But can they? 

Our heroes finish up their exploration of the abandoned house by checking out the basement. It doesn't go well, but fortunately, Tara pulls out the heavy weaponry.

They're trying to head back to talk to Mun the Immortal, but they get distracted by an opportunity that appears along the way. It's a sort of quest that they choose to undertake on the side. You could call it a "side quest", if you like. 

After studying the large stone by the Eastern Bubble, Paxton, Tara, Aethelflaed, Aster, Eppalima, and Lumpen make camp, but are attacked by undead.  The fight takes a while to resolve. Please be patient. 

Our heroes spend the entire episode standing in front of a big rock. It's riveting stuff, folks. 

Having failed to get to make friends in Drongledoon, our heroes travel over hills and through mountains to get to the Eastern Bubble, where they hope to uncover more of the Truths of Foresight.

They've only just arrived in the Iron Empire, but they're already making a big impression on local officials. Now they're off to the Eastern Bubble in search of the Truths of Foresight, and they've picked yet another up a new companion. She's a bit of a loose cannon, though. 

This wacky party is just getting started! After that, the party really needs to get back on task and make its way to and through the Iron Empire. They'll probably meet some colorful new characters along the way. 

Will our heroes escape from the jail and the city of Two? Will they convince Sigbert to transport them to the Iron Empire? Will they clean his apartment, cook his dinner, and serve his guests at a dinner party?  Yes, they will. 

Aethelflaed and her new friend, Aster Fortuna, have broken into a museum to steal a powerful magic item. They've just encountered the security system, however! Will they evade the dangerous automaton? Will they they use the environment against it?  No, not really. But I think the music turned out well!

With all of our heroes in jail, surely nothing interesting is going to happen until the trial and their eventual execution, right?  Wrong! It's time for Aethelflaed to have another exciting side adventure, this time with our new player character, Aster Fortuna (played by our new player, Chris)!
