S1E23: A Daring Rescue
Tuesday Oct 18, 2022
Tuesday Oct 18, 2022
Danger is already waiting for Zem and Char when they arrive in Mor'Bhaile. As they desperately try to think their way out of a difficult situation, a new complication enters the game. They're going to need help if they want to make it out of this one...
This is a fun, mostly light-hearted episode, and that's good considering what comes next week in Episode 24: The Summer Solstice. *Insert evil laughter*
In all seriousness, THANK YOU for listening, supporting, following, liking, all the things! We adore you all. Last week, we hit 1000 followers on Twitter and 10 patrons on Patreon. We are still in shock. Words cannot describe how grateful we are to each and every one of you.
We have a special reward dropping for our patrons this week- A guide to the tarot cards used in this game and which NPC/PCs have been associated with each card! Check it out if you're interested in getting in on the action.

The Time of Plenty has come to Vela, and the people of Mor'Bhaile are celebrating with their annual festival. Games, rides, food, live entertainment, unplanned family reunions- You can find it all here. And through it all, the people honor the Pillar of Light by keeping their fires lit throughout the night...
Our good friend Fungeon Master created another map for us, and it's (of course) beautiful! You can find it on our social media pages and Patreon.
Check out Fungeon's maps on his Ko-fi, and drop in on one of his streamed D&D games on Twitch!

*Takes place between episodes 24 and 25*
While Zem and Char fought for their lives in Mor'Bhaile, our friend Albus was busy studying in the Keepers' Library. What secrets could be hiding in such a place? Albus is about to find out.
We want to thank everyone involved in this project for bringing it to life. We were incredibly lucky to have such talented guest voice actors involved:
Alister Cado as Albus
Marcel Howard Jr. as The Masked Man
Melody Rainelle with her AMAZING Scream
And as always, a big thank you to Isaac Viars for the legendary theme music.
Our DM/Producer Leah Huemmrich both wrote the scene and voiced our narrator, and our Cast Member/Audio Engineer Arthur Pelino worked his audio engineering magic.
Thanks for listening! Per somnia, ad astra. Stay tuned!

Zem and Char spend some much needed time with their friends and family and make some choices on how best to keep them safe in the coming days. We get to see inside old Mor'Bhaile and discover what the last dwarven king hid away in that forgotten treasury centuries ago...
There is a lot here in this episode, including our second TBK character created for us by the wonderful @JewelledCrown. If you're looking for commissioned art, check Jasper out on Twitter or Instagram. They do great work!
We also have a map for this episode created for us by the master... The Fungeon Master. If you don't know who he is, you have to check him out. Now. He's one of the best TTRPG cartographers that we've ever seen, and his actual play streams are a lot of fun. Find him on Twitter @FMaster90.
If you'd like to see a drawing of our new friend Dale Swin OR see the map of the forgotten treasury, you can find that art on our Instagram: @slaythestars_podcast
And finally, we shouted out some new friends in our outro. If you'd like to learn more about The Monster's Playbook, check out the following link that will take you to all their things: The Monster's Playbook
One final note: Leah does know that Detect Magic isn't See Invisibility. This was more fun. We regret nothing.
