The yellow skinned humanoid is revealed! In this episode we discover the mysterious identity of our mysterious find. Are you familiar with the works of Mr. Lovecraft? Have you seen the yellow sign? No..... Well, that's okay. Because this has nothing to do with today's episode. ENJOY listeners as we discuss our first major mystery.
Shorter than the run of a popular sitcom. This is the episode of the show were we decide to set out and not come back in a single day. Fetch quests completed, the PC's want to try a serious exploration of the island.
As the name implies, not a lot happens action wise. The party levels up to 3! The level where fun things actually happen. Ishiaro reveals some of his backstory. The viper berries are diluted for Aeris. The mysterious glowing shapes in the water are investigated. What will Ronin do when he finds out what is in the waves?
In this episode, the brave survivors: encounter more hostile wildlife, regret exploring backstories, find some quest items, encounter even more hostile wildlife. Does Tam finally get what's coming to her? Will Jarwin be able to keep it in his pants? Does Ronin learn basic social etiquette? Of course not! But it is still fun to listen to.
The party makes it back to base camp. Relations with the non-participating comrades are strengthened. Some more than others. The mysterious lights in the ocean are investigated. Nath "meditates"........ what more could you want? An explanation for the title? Well, listen to the episode. I'm not explaining it here where children can read it. Tweet us @bashshield when you figure it out.
The party encounters a trio of the local fauna. And thus begins the first of the fetch quests. How many WoW references will this inspire? Will we be able to grind boars until we all reach level 20? How great of a podcast would that be?
The party spends the episode discussing what to do now that they're all stuck on this deserted island. Tensions rise as some of the non-participating comrades seem less than helpful. Also, there is a snake.
As the party finishes exploring the wreck, some mysteries are solved. Others take their place. A plan of action is discussed as the island looms dauntingly ahead. What will they uncover as they begin their trek into the unknown jungle? How many of them will get malaria? Will we ever stop harassing Kurt as a person (who totally doesn't deserve it)?
