Show notes

Preparations made, it's time for the Hunting Party to investigate the cause of all this conflict in the Beastlands. They are not the only party interested in the central point of interest however, and their scouting mission may attract more attention than they anticipated...

Hunting Party Season 2 Episode 2: "Queen's Judgement" Jan 23, 2026

Show notes

Content Warning: Entomophobia, Fungi and Rot

The Beholder out of sight, the Hunting Party turns their attention to the vestiges of his work across the Beastlands. First up, the new colony knocking on their door. Can they unite to stand against the hive mind? Or is this Queen's gambit enough to finish the Unicorn Knights?
