The Mortal Path

Latest Episodes:

64) Complications Sep 02, 2020

Show notes

Things just keep happening as our fateful three plunge deeper into the night and also plunge blades into those who really did think they had their shit together until Nat, Taro, and Nerium showed up to wreck their whole lives - and deaths. With Nerium at the mercy of the mercenaries (or the mercenaries at her mercy, perhaps...), Taro stuck in spirit-vision, and Nat kicking ass and taking no names, our "heroes" continue to dig into this mysterious group while trying to rescue their friend...

See also: Since when?!, puppy, is this a soul?, Taro's good out there, nyaa, you're probably dead, say hewwo to my little friend, and oh I get it!

[TW / CW: Threats, character restrained, stabbing, show typical violence and gore, death from a fall, ghosts]

5) A Question of Questions [Legacy of Heroism] Aug 26, 2020

Show notes

We return once more to Tenbren, eager to unravel the mysteries of the blade causing havoc and distress to the poor people of the Jackal-infested city. Secrets are shared, plans are made, kwepes are had, and Iago, Groundswell, and Agnes have questions aplenty...

See also: Gripping shafts, boning, I'm not allowed cellulitis, that's the agony noise, a defensive slumber, and Wood Turner.

63) Stolen Aug 19, 2020

Show notes

Back into danger and action we plunge, dear friends! Our terrible trio continue their night of crimes as a bad situation escalates from aaaa to AAAAAAA. We put our new system to the test as shit kicks off, and when one of the party members is suddenly grabbed and magically yeeted into the hands of Avriel's companions, Nat, Taro, and Nerium are in a desperate race against time and up against some deadly, and pissed off, foes...

62) Loose Ends Aug 05, 2020

Show notes

Join our merry band of morally dubious 'heroes' as we once more strike at the heart of Hopewell, making more enemies than friends and getting ourselves into a right pickle. We've thrown 5e aside and taken up arms with our own system, and Nat, Nerium, and Taro push it to the limit as they ask difficult questions in secretive places...

Show notes

Once more we leap onto the streets of Hopewell, our merry trio here to cause trouble and smooth ruffled feathers. Join us as Nerium faces off against an old frenemy - twice? - and Taro gets down to some soul weaving business in the back alleys. Nat heads to her favourite haunts for more information on the mysterious Flame card held in evidence storage, and someone they've been looking for makes an opportunistic appearance...

Show notes

Join us once more as we delve back into Tenbren and the troubles terrifying the city. Beneath the sands in the endless tunnels of the Running, our odd trio face Scattanatto and his cohorts, but a mix of magic and swordplay stop the situation from getting too out of hand. Agnes, Iago, and Groundswell find themselves with more questions than answers...

See also: Imhotep kissy-wissy, beginning the violence, it's a sex thing?, maximum crime points, you've not done anything sexy yet!, and just like Evanescence.

Welcome once more to Hopewell as we delve deeper into the mysterious murder of Lady Belva, may her soul rest in peace in her tomb and--... who the hell is that!? Join Taro, Nat, and Nerium as they cross the great divide and walk beyond their mortal paths into new powers, new worlds, and new secrets. But those in the living world are equally to be feared...

Show notes

Hello hello! We're a day late (sorry) but we're here at last, late but resplendent in our tomfoolery! Join us once again as Nat, Taro, and Nerium take matters into their own hands and make some questionable moral decisions in the process. While some find rest, Taro meets a Big Boss and talks business, but the mysterious murder of Lady Belva still needs solving, and with a ghost-whisperer on the crew, the Mausoleum's the next place to go...
