Ouroboros | Episode 75: Full House
The population of Greenbury, particularly around Ygin’s house, keeps growing from additional arrivals with Ygin and Harlan. There’s plenty to catch up on and people to catch up with.

With Seig and Faythe down for the count, the battle is getting hairy for Dria and Sylmenor. Desperate to stay alive and complete their mission, they hold nothing back.

Halloween One-Shot | The Wilding Call Part Five
The spooky season is here! Join the Roll For Focus team as they play “The Wilding Call” from Kobold Press.
The time to be slow and methodical is past. Dria, Seig and Sylmenor cook up a deadly strike in hopes of wiping out Mother in one fell swoop. If they were truly followers of Surtur, he would no doubt be proud of the fiery result. The Pack of the Howling Sun won’t be going down so easily though. Toe to toe, muzzle to muzzle, the two sides clash in a showdown for all their lives.

The head-on approach leaves Dria, Seig and Sylmenor more battered and bruised than they would like. But they’re not ready to tuck their tails and run just yet. It’s time to put their heads together to plot their next move. With a little more stealth and spying, they discover an unexpected potential ally in the unlikeliest of places.

Ouroboros | Episode 74: Smooth Sailing
Aboard The Serenity, the ship lives up to its name as the journey to Greenbury passes rather uneventfully. During the day that is. At night, Xelas finds himself trapped in an unending dream, unable to escape and unable to proceed. The time has become desperate enough that some equally desperate measures might be in order.

With bridges burnt before the mission even started, Dria, Seig and Sylmenor go to plan beta: take the werewolves head-on in their own complex. After all, it's not as if slavering lupines of all types are waiting at literally every turn to sink their fangs into them...

The pack expects nothing but the best from any potential initiates. If Dria, Seig and Sylmenor can impress the werewolves with one final test then they’ll be welcomed with open arms. Except, the adventurers aren’t the only ones who know how to play the game – a grievous mistake is about to come to light which could send all their hard work up in smoke.

Ouroboros | Episode 73: Essence of Life
The heroes pay a visit to the brilliant researcher, yet terrible poker player, Ronnie Betelbottom. His special interest might provide the answer to why they're different if, of course, Rokain, Ygin and Xelas can trust him. Is Ronnie's inability to keep a poker face a great way to confirm his honesty, or could it be part of a masterful charade instead?

The spooky season is here! Join the Roll For Focus team as they play “The Wilding Call” from Kobold Press.
Anywhere the Pack of the Howling Sun goes, fire and destruction follows in their wake. Three adventurers have been called upon to find out what these arson-loving werewolves are up to. But to go undetected in werewolf territory requires an…unusual solution, one that will redefine everything Dria, Seig and Sylmenor knew about themselves. They must survive deadly, hair-raising tests if they are to have any hope of leaving alive.

Ouroboros | Episode 72: Calling in Favors
There’s just a few stops left for the heroes to hit before the storm breaks, including visiting the final ship option, The Serenity. Ygin might have a favor in his pocket to help them gain passage if they’re lucky. Then some unexpected family history from Rokain suddenly opens new doors as well.

Now that the time has finally come, can Xelas handle what he might learn? It’s a valid concern that has Ygin and even Rokain expressing their worries. The situation must be truly bad if Rokain is putting effort into being supportive and Xelas actually is listening to him.

After everything they’ve been through, Faerith, Arryn and Zeff are champing at the bit to get at the evil mastermind in the lighthouse’s peak. Except, when they arrive, the pirates realize the trickster isn’t what they expected. They’re not the only ones who have been in way over their heads.

Happy Pride month! Join the Roll For Focus team as they play Sail the Oceans Queer by La Lionne Publishing.
Dealing with the lighthouse is one issue but with a couple of rivals hot at their heels, Arryn, Faerith and Zeff have a whole new set of problems to confront. Round and round they go as reality twists and bends about them. Perhaps there’s safety in numbers because when the lighthouse’s tricks cross a line, the only ones the pirates can rely on are each other, much to their chagrin.

Aboard the Rainbow Revenge, a crew of tough and fiercely loyal pirates have made a home and a name for themselves on the sea. When news of a mysterious fog-shrouded lighthouse reaches Zeff, Faerith and Arryn, they jump at the chance to explore and, of course, to claim whatever treasure may be had.

Xelas opens up about a years-old pain for the first time to the willing ear of Ygin. In addition to his classic comfort and some hard-to-swallow perspective, Ygin offers a use of his Scry ring. Little does he know that what he witnesses will have a profound effect on Xelas and all of their plans.

Reeling from his friend’s revelation, Xelas returns with little resemblance to his normal energetic self. The weight of the letter in his hand is by no means comparable to the weight in his heart.

Except Destiny isn’t done with them just yet as an easy afternoon slips into a night of portentous dreams.

An inevitable battle is brewing on the horizon. A quick reconnaissance of the barge shows Tilly has come well-prepared for her rematch with the heroes.
