Jesters of Ravenloft: A D&D Podcast

Having escaped the mayhem at The Prancing Pony, Adam and Guy took the dead elf into an alley to loot him, and Del, Tyler, and the hobbits joined them to plan their next move. The surrounding area was overrun by a mob of people, some trying to douse the fire at the inn, and others clearly still searching for the ring bearer, so they decided to take refuge at a different inn, and found themselves at Jimothy McGristle’s. Del relayed her solo journey to the rest of the troupe, and they were all left with more questions and un...

With Walker down and the troupe out of immediate danger, Guy respectfully looted the elf who died for him, and Adam disrespectfully looted the ranger. The troupe learned that the two hobbits were the ringbearer, Yolo Took, and his butler, Frodo Baggins, but they needed to hide until they could meet up with Gandalf the following night. So, Del, Tyler, and the hobbits snuck out an upper-floor window, and Adam and Guy pulled a Weekend at Bernie's to get the elf’s body outside to loot it more thoroughly. Can they keep the hobbits safe from bounty-hungry drunk people fo...

The troupe was locked in combat with Walker, the ranger, while the other bar patrons seemed set on finding the hobbit and collecting the bounty. The elf who had approached Guy earlier came to Guy’s defense, but was run through by Walker’s sword, Adam convinced Snoopwise to join in the fray, but he too was swiftly taken out, and Tyler used the mysterious locket to bring Del back from the brink. Amidst the chaos, the ringbearer disappeared, but Tyler managed to protect the other hobbit from the surrounding brawl. Del finally took down Walker with a well-placed arro...

Off on her own side-quest, Del confronted the threatening figure and discovered it was the ranger she’d been seeking. Del dubbed the ranger “Walker” and they headed towards Bree, but were soon set upon by wargs. Walker was badly hurt, so Del patched him up and they finally arrived at The Prancing Pony inn. They quickly spotted Adam and Guy, but for reasons unknown, Walker immediately moved to attack them and when Del called out to her friends, he turned on her too. Tyler rushed downstairs to see a brawl breaking out before him and the inn on fire...

As Adam and Guy tried to figure out when the heck Guy had sprouted pointy ears, Hobbits with a reservation for Underhill arrived. Two rangers from across the room jumped up and one of them was Del! Earlier, at Bombadil’s house, Goldberry had told Del about a hobbit who’s supposed to destroy something but doesn’t have the protection he needs. Del was tasked with finding a ranger who can help and then follow her instincts to the hobbit. So, she departed, slightly drunk, and headed east, and eventually happened upon a hobbit being threatened at sword-point by a m...

After they got weird shirts from Kemmet from the Forg, the troupe made their way to The Prancing Pony inn. They learned that they hobbits were expected at the inn the following night, but in the meantime, they had a show to put on. The proprietor’s introduction of Wet Change managed to turn the crowd against them before they’d even started, but they fumbled their way through some improv games and eventually won over their audience. Tyler went to bed early, but Guy was soon approached by a strange figure who mistook him for an elf he knew...

The troupe approached the gate leading into Bree and unintentionally convinced the guards they were inept enough to not be a threat. Making their way through town, a server from The Prancing Pony invited them to perform at the bar in return for free accommodations, but first Adam and Guy needed proper pants. Adam found himself miraculously clad in a kilt, so they made their way to a tailor’s shop to clothe Guy. When they failed to flatter the proprietor into giving them free clothes, they instead traded their one slice of pizza and empty Tylenol bottle. Will We...

The troupe continued to fight the goblins. Adam failed to tame the dog-man, Guy noticed the goblins were sensitive to sunlight and set their tarp on fire to destroy their shade, and Tyler, who had run away, realized the others hadn’t followed him, so he came back to help finish things off. They then performed the unsavoury task of searching the bodies and found a crude drawing depicting hobbits and a ring, suggesting the hobbits were the targets of more than just the Black Riders. They finally made it to the gates of Bree, relieved to find it lo...

Wet Change, sans Del, set out east towards the town of Bree. They happened upon the violent willow tree, decided not to burn it down just yet, and travelled across a difficult landscape until they came across a group of goblins. Not wanting to fight, Tyler and Adam tried to run away, and Guy climbed a tree, but still they were discovered. Adam and Guy threw Baguettes and branches, but it was only the rising sun that had the strange creatures drawing back into cover. As the goblins scrambled away, a strange dog-like man in their camp broke free...

With Del away on a mysterious adventure of her own, the rest of the troupe rested at Bombadil’s house and equipped themselves for the task ahead. Tolkien gave Tyler a broken sword, Guy had the forethought to ask for food and water, and Adam dressed himself in an improvised hat and poorly-constructed toga. The troupe departed and found themselves naturally taking on specific roles within the group: Tyler as the Guide, Adam as the resourceful Hunter, and Guy as the observant Scout. They’ve been warned to stay off the main road, but can Wet Change avoid the Blac...

After Bombadil revealed himself to be J.R.R. Tolkien, Goldberry took Del aside for a private conversation, and the rest of Wet Change were left to question the author. He explained that he had often escaped into his own story, into an ethereal realm between fiction and reality, but lately the narrative had been falling apart. The heroes who usually helped the ring-bearer hadn’t shown up, so Tolkien had sought out replacements, only to accidentally bring in the self-nominated Best Ensemble, Wet Change. With Del temporarily called to another adventure, can the boys find the hobbits in Br...

A malevolent tree put everyone except Tyler to sleep and began pulling them into its trunk! As they awoke, Guy set the branches on fire, Tyler injured himself badly getting Del free, and Del sacrificed her cell phone to wedge open the trunk just enough to grab Adam’s hand, but the tree wouldn’t let him go. So, Adam negotiated and the tree finally released him in exchange for Tyler chopping off its burning limbs. Tom Bombadil reappeared and brought them all to is house, where he revealed himself to be none other than J.R.R. Tolkien. Some...

Comedy troupe Wet Change met their strange Santa-like saviour, Tom Bombadil, who invited them to his home before vanishing in a puff of butterflies. Before heading out, the troupe scoured the crypt for loot and took stock of their fighting experience. Guy knew some taekwondo, Adam knew some karate, Del took a semester of archery, and Tyler found a locket that made him feel a bit safer. Del used her phone’s compass to direct them to the river Withywindle and Bombadil’s house, but when they arrived at the river, all except Tyler fell into a deep sleep and...

The sketch comedy troupe, Wet Change, was performing at Edinburgh Fringe when suddenly they were engulfed by mist. They emerged from the foggy swirl of leaves onto a forest road. They soon met a friendly and welcoming merchant, who was immediately slain by a terrifying cloaked figure on horseback. Del, Tyler, Adam, and Guy fled through the woods and sought shelter inside a crypt, only to find it was already occupied by a malevolent wight. They fought for their lives until they were rescued by a jolly rhyming man named Tom Bombadil. Will these perfectly normal humans survive long...

Welcome back to Jesters of-- MIDDLE-EARTH?? It seems that Ryan’s been eaten by an owl, a migratory owl no less, so while we wait for that pesky bird to return with our DM in a few months’ time, Tom McGee will be taking Wet Change back in time to the beginning of their journey. They’ll answer the question of what if—instead of falling into Ravenloft—the troupe fell into an alternate universe, one with less halflings and more hobbits, less bone horses and more Prancing Pony’s, less dark lords and more…THE Dark Lord. Can Wet Change sur...

Before moving on to the next realm, New Rogue apologized to Tyler about his lost finger, and Tyler gave him a consoling hug that they both needed. Meanwhile, Shadow Nemesis revealed to DDX that he missed him and wanted him back, but DDX proposed they start again as equals, something the barbarian needed time to consider. Ezra then sent them to the realm of Yah Shee. The troupe heard sounds of revelry coming from a nearby encampment, and after deliberating over how best to approach the camp, Del offered to create flowers to sell, but will the people of...

The troupe had a good night’s rest followed by very upsetting morning. Tyler’s cursed ring behaved as expected and he was bitten by a poisonous snake. Del healed him up, and they tried to remove the ring, but it wouldn’t budge, so New Rogue suggested that Tyler should cut off his finger, confident that he could reattach it. Shadow Nemesis bit off the finger and put the ring away, but after many attempted spells of healing, they realized that none of New Rogue’s cleric powers could reattach it. Now that Tyler’s finger has disintegrated, Wet Change...

With one dark lord’s problem solved, the troupe did some introspection. Tyler argued with Ezra that it was reasonable for him to not be doing well, given the circumstances, and that Ezra would have to live with that, Shadow Nemesis redesigned his mind palace and Shadow Master explained to him why DDX couldn’t become a dark lord, Del, Rumpleforeskin, and Werner Herzog had a philosophical discussion about whether the people they’ve met throughout the realms are real people, and New Rogue continued filling a grave. They convinced Tyler he shouldn’t deal with his cursed ring alone, b...

The troupe took their chance to solve the Cardinal’s troubles. New Rogue pulled Tom’s body from Shadow Nemesis’s brain-eating grasp, and after appealing to the barbarian’s vanity, they started digging a grave. Del tried to convince Issa and the Cardinal that they could be a great pair, Tyler sensed that Del needed more time and gathered everyone to say some final words about Tom Foolery, Issa and the Cardinal finally struck a bargain, and the Cardinal agreed to remember to vote for Ezra in return for all of Del’s help. Ezra then demanded that Tyler talk...

The troupe came upon the grisly scene of Issa standing over the body of a very dead Tom Foolery. After learning of Issa’s recent murder spree, they realized she might be a good fit for the Cardinal. Del talked the Cardinal through his insecurities and tried to show him the benefits of practicing and taking a slower approach with his victims, Tyler tried to find common ground between Issa and the Cardinal, and Shadow Nemesis looted Tom’s corpse. But as New Rogue was getting answers from the corpse, Shadow Nemesis swooped in and started eating her brain. Will...

The troupe was forced to confront some difficult ethical questions. Del shared her own recent experience of loss with the Cardinal and got him fixated on the idea of breaking someone’s heart to cause a new kind of pain, Shadow Nemesis proposed making DDX the dark lord of this realm, but Tyler and New Rogue talked him out of it, New Rogue finally made a sincere apology to Rumpleforeskin about how he’d spoken to them earlier, and Del and Tyler came up with the idea of pairing the Cardinal with someone in the pain cult who would be i...

After wrestling the puzzle pieces from the ineffectual Michaels, Void solved the puzzle! Shadow Nemesis subdued the chains and brightened up the room, but the Cardinal had difficulty speaking with more than one person, so Del remained and everyone else gave them privacy. Once Del realized the Cardinal suffered from panic attacks, she walked him through some grounding exercise, but New Rogue misinterpreted the sounds of deep breathing and rushed in to save Del, causing the Cardinal to retreat once more. Tyler supported Del trying to talk to the dark lord again, with New Rogue along to apologize, but...
