Ep 20: It's Not in the Stars to Hold our Destiny

Having bartered with an inimitable, handsome Potion Seller, the Nightmare Krew were gifted back a previously entombed companion, Leopold Rittenhask, before felling the White Maw that had taken root in the heart of the library. Purging the athenaeum of its sickness and gleaned what knowledge they could, the Krew now turned back towards Ysheen to remedy his eyesight. Once all was said and done, they began their final plans, and now prepare for transportation towards their final destination in Doomspace: the void above Doom-A, where it all began, and where the World Eater lies in wait...Find your way...

Ep 18: The Game's a'Foot

The Nightmare Krew finally arrived at the cosmic library housed on an icy planet in Doomspace. What began as a simple journey to gain more knowledge on the Nidhogg became a quest of sorts to return sight to the library's draconic master, the aging Ysheen. Now, the Krew is met with reality-warping games and riddles in the depths of the library's Restricted Section, blocking their path to the shadow-bound beast at the heart of this frozen dungeon of words.Find your way to the scrying pool known as Bards of New York.Catch us live on Mondays 6:00pm EST at...
Ep 17: Within the Book of Thy Brain

Presented with the last frightened offspring of the Crystalline Warden, the Nightmare Krew struggled over the fate of these wyrmlings before entrusting them to the newly named Kintsugi Clan, now emancipated from Garr-Gal-Onn's legacy. Then, after discussing with the enigmatic and roguish Tylo Vale, the Krew begins the final leg of their journey by travelling to a cosmic library, in the hopes they'll uncover something to assure victory in their designs on the World Eater...Find your way to the scrying pool known as Bards of New York.Catch us live on Mondays 6:00pm EST at https://www.twitch.tv...
Ep 16: Welcome Home Again

The Nightmare Krew worked as one force to fight against the ever-dividing final remnant of the Ruby Tyrant. One by one, the draconic clones fell and split and fell and split, until all that remained was a myriad of little wyrmlings. Scared, defenseless wyrmlings. And now, our notoriously violent Krew must decide to either purge the stain of Garr-Gal-Onn forever, or spare the lives of his seemingly-innocent spawn...Find your way to the scrying pool known as Bards of New York.Catch us live on Mondays 6:00pm EST at https://www.twitch.tv/bardsofnewyork​​​Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bardsofnewyorkDiscord: https...
Ep 15: Fight Like Devils

After magically restructuring and cleansing Garr-Gal-Onn's philosopher's stone, the Nightmare Krew set their plans in stone; they would free the remaining goblins trapped on the Shattered Sphere, then, Kallias would attempt to perform Alchemy of the Soul to bind themselves to the World Serpent, to break the cycle of destruction and to achieve their "destiny." However, once at the Sphere, the Krew found themselves face to face with the final draconic remnant of the Ruby Tyrant. Now, to let the goblins truly achieve peace and freedom, the Krew must slay one final dragon, no matter how many forms it...
Ep 14: Sworn to Purpose

The members of the Nightmare Krew each process the loss of their teammates in their own, twisted ways. This comes to a head when none of the remaining Krew can decide what to do with the body of Ash, slowly becoming inhabited by Vecna. After a spike in tension, the group reconciled over a breakfast meal and an inspiring song from the Krew's newest member, Fim Fam Doodles. Now, the rest of the week's travel remains until the Krew arrives at the Shattered Sphere to find what remains of the subjugated Goblin people left in the Ruby Tyrant's wake...
Ep 13: Unquiet Meals

Leopold Rittenhask pulled their fate. Their fate became Donjon, and so they became sealed in some impossible imprisonment. Ash of the Funeral Pyre pulled their fate. Their fate became The Void, and so their soul was stripped from their being, guarded by yet inconceivable entities in a forgotten realm. The Nightmare Krew, in shambles, speeds to the Shattered Sphere to finish their business in Doomspace, before embarking on a new necessary quest to return what has been lost...

Ep 12: The Line: Part 2

In the wake of such a glorious sporting triumph, the Nightmare Krew leaves the docks and heads further into Baron Tylo Vale's station to revel, to feast, to relax, and most importantly, to plan their steps for the crucial days ahead. For yet still, the fate of all realms is not ascertained... Find your way to the scrying pool known as Bards of New York.

Ep 11: Goblinton

Reeling in the starlit heavens from their bout with a scaled tyrant, the Nightmare Krew collects themselves and their thoughts as they scramble to find a way to permanently deal with a myth-made-real. Uncomfortable truths are discovered, arguments had and plans tentatively made, and now, the Krew hurtles through space back to Fyreen. There, they hope to find one of the more grisly items in Voidspace: the relic of countless souls transmuted -- a Philosopher's Stone... Find your way to the scrying pool known as Bards of New York.

Ep 10: As Far As Who Goes Furthest

At the very place it began, so began the end. The Nightmare Krew met the tyrant-dragon Garr-Gal-Onn in the asteroid fields above Doom-A. In a hitherto-unforeseen surge of magic, strength, and willpower, the two clashed, rattling the comets in their dance. Eventually, outclassed and overwhelmed, the Ruby Dragon fell, but not without exacting its brutal toll. Now a ship of hostages awaits, along with, blotting the sun's rays, the vestige of an apocalypse ending its feast...and awakening its new hunger.

Ep 9: Victory or Grave

The Nightmare Krew scrambled their petty way through the markets and alleys of Braal, trading and preparing and upgrading. While that feeling of prepardness lies just out of reach, they have strengthened their position enough that they feel as ready as they'll ever be to head towards their destiny. Now they race towards the place in Doom Space where this all began, having reached through the Void to call the Great Wyrm to find them and bring this to an end... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Find your way to the scrying pool known as Bards of New York.

Ep 8: All Things Are Ready

The Krew used every ounce of strength, spellwork, and wit they had left to escape Garr-Gal-Onn and jump to Voidspeed. However, in response, the ancient Ruby Dragon captured the Aberrant Void and all those aboard as hostages. Licking their wounds, the Nightmare Krew learns about the relics they stole, and learns perhaps even more about themselves, as they hurtle towards the Rock of Braal trade and upgrade. Only time will tell if all this will mean anything in their rematch with yet another self made god. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Find your way to the scrying pool known as Bards of New York...
Ep 7: The Right Regrets

The Nightmare Krew carved their way through the Ruby Palace, only to make their way into Garr-Gal-Onn's reliquary. There they found all the artifacts they ever could have dreamed of, but acquiring them came at an equally unimaginable price. After so much sacrifice, the reliquary's keeper awoke, and now hounds the Krew out of his very lair... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Find your way to the scrying pool known as Bards of New York.

Ep 6: There Be Dragons

Cries in the dark.
The hum of myriad spores.
The crumbling of old stone.
All merely echoes below, as the Ruby Palace looms above. They come to seek me out, and I await eagerly...
Having caved in the only entrance to its lair, the Nightmare Krew slayed the deep dragon, Knavarix. It came at the cost of the group's stamina and energy, only for the realization to hit them that their quarry's true lair, the Ruby Palace, still lay ahead of them.
Now the Krew...
Ep 5: Hell Hath No Fury

The Nightmare Krew delved their way farther and farther beneath the mines below the Ruby Palace in search of a way upward. A way up they did not find, though they did discover the lair and horde of a devious Deep Dragon, hungry for the party's secrets. Secrets were divulged, arguments were had, but in response, Kallias forced the entrance to cave in. Now, the Krew faces an irate dragon's wrath...

Ep 4: Barbarous Caves

Planet: Fyreen
Location: the Ruby Palace
Compass Marker: Unknown
Having narrowly escaped the waking World-Eater, Nidhogg, the Nightmare Krew flew straight into the arms of the dubious Baron Tylo Vale. Squeezing him for assistance, the Krew headed towards the Ancient Dragon Garr-Gal-Onn's lair on Fyreen, within the Ruby Palace...
Will the Krew make it out of the mineshafts below the Palace in one piece? Will they get to their goal undetected? Or will the Nightmare Krew do what they always do, and carve their way through?
