The Billowing Hilltop - A D&D Podcast

The Slayers need to find the source of the Unlife Vortex, but a gaggle of nasty Kyuss greeblies have other plans!

Our heroes have completed their dreamlike journey through the Timberdark. Now they must explore the depths beneath the Boneyard in search of the Unlife Vortex!

The green devil’s head has been found. Can our heroes work out a way to extract the Sphere of Annihilation safely? Or have they all dump-statted intelligence to the point that it is an impossibility?

Have the Slayers been transported to a piece of D&D history? And if they have, can they remember anything about it?

The situation is finely balanced in the Katzenjammer planetoid. Can Scaly, Sessions and Parker hold off the Piranha Demons long enough for Uncle Buggie to complete his ethereal mission?

CONTENT WARNING: Episode contains an interminable discussion of Scaly’s slots that some readers may find distressing.

Burple has been eaten by a Piranha Demon. Can the remaining Slayers find the Hearth Spirit and deliver their explosive payload?

It’s time to kick some asteroid as our cosmic crew attempt to deliver their deadly payload!

The Anvil of Thump come to the Slayer’s rescue, and take them to meet an old friend.

The Slayers have teleported  back to Truespire Island only to find a scene of devastation. Can they survive the onslaught of their friends-turned-enemies?

We begin Book 12 of the Age of Worms! With Dragotha vanquished, our avaricious heroes turn their attention to his treasure hoard.

Dragotha engulfs the Slayers in toxic gas, and turns the necromantic nature of his lair against them. Is this the final showdown?

We discuss high-level encounter balance briefly, before returning to the showdown with Dragotha and his minions!

The Diamond-Eyed Dwarf of Doom tries to frazzle the brains of our gallant gang. How will we tell the difference?

The Diamond-Eyed Dwarf of Doom has plunged our heroes into darkness. Can they see their way to victory when they can’t even see each other?

The Slayers are engulfed in a surge of necrotic liquid and toxic gas. It could not have come at a worse time, what with the Dracolich and everything.

There is a river of green horrible. Kyuss grubs seethe all around. Scaly has been swallowed by a giant worm. Now the Slayers must face the full might of Dragotha. Fair to say, the situation is not ideal.

The Slayers ascend the green pipe of horrible. Does Dragotha lie in wait for them?

The Slayers spend an awfully long time trying to work out what to do next.

The wormdrake is defeated, but the other trials of the Tabernacle remain. Will the Slayers keep exploring, or retreat and recuperate?

The Slayers face a life-or-death confrontation with the wormdrake! Can Buggie cling on to its slimy rump?

The wormdrake has forced its way through the barrier and has Scaly and Sessions in its sights! What awful nastiness is it about to exhale all over them? We’re guessing it’s wormy.

Mother Maggot dances her hypnotic dance. The animated cage lashes out in search of a victim. The gargantuan wormo-dragon throws itself at the windows. The Slayers have got their hands full. Can they make any progress? Or will they just bicker and wander around aimlessly?

Buggy has charged ahead, but what awful beast has he disturbed? Whatever it is, it isn’t happy. Readers! We would be most grateful for any nominations for this year’s Crit Awards. Especially for Best Legacy Podcast, but for any other category you think we deserve! you can nominate here. Thanks!

Mother Maggot has Uncle Buggy trapped up a pipe. Can his tiny, wizened, unwashed form resist her eldritch magicks?

Parker has disappeared up a pipe in the ceiling. Is he OK? And since it clearly isn’t the real Parker, do we care?

The Slayers are beset on all sides in the Temple of Kyuss. Will Parker fall victim to the diamond-eyed Dwarf of Doom?

The Slayers have entered the Tabernacle of Worms. Who is the mysterious figure that has emerged from the golden portal?

What awaits Sessions in the shadow-pool? And can the Slayers find the secret way to the Tabernacle of Worms?

A tripartite spirit has once again become one. The Slayers have raised the ghost of Rabedabedas (of the Robedobedob). What wisdom can he impart? What powers can he bestow? And how long can the DM keep up his whistly voice?

We catch up with Jon from Tale of the Manticore before heading back to the Wormcrawl Fissure. Have the Slayers got themselves locked in a mobile library?

Ding-Dong! The Lich is dead! Or is it? How do liches work again? The Slayers worry about the return of Thessalar, whilst searching for loot.

It’s the final showdown with Thessalar! Can the Slayers track him down and destroy him?

We chat to friend-of-the-pod Hamilton about his new Mork Borg Kickstarter, before returning to the lair of Thessalar the lich! Can Burple trap the gargantuan hydra in a Prismatic Sphere?

The Slayers have encountered Thessalar the lich, who is not best pleased at their intrusion! Can they survive his eldritch magicks and break into his fortress?

The Slayers teleport to safety, but now they must face a greater challenge: Dividing the loot.

The gargantuan worm sorceror N’vesh has rumbled Buggie’s plan to grab his treasure hoard! Can the crew still escape with the loot?

While Uncle Buggie plunders the treasure chamber, the remaining Slayers take on the might of N’Vesh!

After a quick dip into Paul’s engorged Christmas sack, we are back to the action. Burple could be in trouble here…

It’s time for the Slayers to explore the deadly lair of N’vesh. But first they must deal with Scaly’s worm infestation.
