Dear Listener,Lark's entanglement with the eldritch allows them to once again commune with Bríþyel, and they're prompted back in the real world to see if other people see something different in the Yimel's blood contained within their compass. If Araminthea is correct, not everyone in Lark's group will see the same thing, so who will see something different? Helena, or Ralph?I guess you're about to find out.---You can help support the show and get ad free episodes on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.Patreon.com/blighthouse⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find the authors:Email: [email protected]: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/thesprouting⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/vtgnVAZY44 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Blighthouse Studio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ production.---Our Amazing AffliatesIf you want to buy our eldritch plant themed merch, head over to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Teepublic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ store page - www.teepublic.com/stores/blight-house.Or if ⁠⁠⁠⁠Displate⁠⁠⁠⁠ is more your aesthetic, check out Kessir's incredible designs - www.displate.com/artist/BlighthouseStudioWant awesome WOODEN dice?

Dear Listener, Surprises abound with having faced off against cultists. A quick rescue and a short sharp instruction ot leave before the same, the group hunker down for the night before a planned early start. During the night, Helena attempts to console Ralph and offer an olive branch to Sully.

Dear Listener,Face to face with an actual Sickle of Yimel is always going to be both intense and tense. Our questioners have one shot to get as much information about the mysterious book that kicked this investigation off, and the cults machinations regarding it. Is Carlos going to be helpful? Do they know the right questions to ask?

Dear Listener,The group have learned of a plot by the Sickles to get two of the fire orchids away from Korentus, and armed with such knowledge, seek an audience with the prisoner being kept in a cabin seperate from the others. Is the knowledge that they seek, truly worth tangling directly with a Sickle for?I guess you're about to find out.Thanks to Jay for voicing James!---You can help support the show and get ad free episodes on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.Patreon.com/blighthouse⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find the authors:Email: [email protected]: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/thesprouting⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/vtgnVAZY44 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Blighthouse Studio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ production.---Our Amazing AffliatesIf you want to buy our eldritch plant themed merch, head over to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠Teepublic⁠⁠⁠⁠ store page - www.teepublic.com/stores/blight-house.Or if ⁠⁠⁠Displate⁠⁠⁠ is more your aesthetic, check out Kessir's incredible designs - www.displate.com/artist/BlighthouseStudioWant awesome WOODEN dice?

Dear Listener,Pocketing the howl that Lark recorded over night, the trio take Helena to task about her revelation to Sully. With the Government potentially about to be breathing down their necks, Zlata's Grace proves Lark's previous experience true, but what will it say about the situation in Korentus?I guess you're about to find out.---You can help support the show and get ad free episodes on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.Patreon.com/blighthouse⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find the authors:Email: [email protected]: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/thesprouting⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/vtgnVAZY44 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Blighthouse Studio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ production.---Our Amazing AffliatesIf you want to buy our eldritch plant themed merch, head over to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠Teepublic⁠⁠⁠⁠ store page - www.teepublic.com/stores/blight-house.Or if ⁠⁠⁠Displate⁠⁠⁠ is more your aesthetic, check out Kessir's incredible designs - www.displate.com/artist/BlighthouseStudioWant awesome WOODEN dice?

Dear Listener,New acquantences, and maybe even friendships, are formed as the four interact with the Salisander family; learning about Aaron's previous explorations and Korentus' relationship with the fire Orchids. In the evening, they listen in to RT's weekly broadcasts, where Helena is put into a deeper quandry than before - but will she choose to come clean to our trio or continue her mission?I guess you're about to find out.Thank you to David for voicing RT!---You can help support the show and get ad free episodes on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.Patreon.com/blighthouse⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find the authors:Email: [email protected]: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/thesprouting⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/vtgnVAZY44 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Blighthouse Studio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ production.---Our Amazing AffliatesIf you want to buy our eldritch plant themed merch, head over to our ⁠⁠⁠Teepublic⁠⁠⁠ store page - www.teepublic.com/stores/blight-house.Or if ⁠⁠Displate⁠⁠ is more your aesthetic, check out Kessir's incredible designs - www.displate.com/artist/BlighthouseStudioWant awesome WOODEN dice?

Dear listener,Whilst negotiating for better protection, Ralph notices odd behavior in the flowers of Korentus, which prompts the trio to learn more about this frozen outpost. And speaking of learning more, Bríyel remains tight lipped with her estranged uncle as she asks for technical help from Ralph, but what is she trying to break into?I guess you're about to find out.Thank you to Jay for voicing James!---You can help support the show and get ad free episodes on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.Patreon.com/blighthouse⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find the authors:Email: [email protected]: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/thesprouting⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/vtgnVAZY44 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Blighthouse Studio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ production.---Our Amazing AffliatesIf you want to buy our eldritch plant themed merch, head over to our ⁠⁠⁠Teepublic⁠⁠⁠ store page - www.teepublic.com/stores/blight-house.Or if ⁠⁠Displate⁠⁠ is more your aesthetic, check out Kessir's incredible designs - www.displate.com/artist/BlighthouseStudioWant awesome WOODEN dice?

Dear listener,The group arrive late in the evening to Korentus, a place of snow, clothing and a secret cultist - all against the backdrop of howls that ring through the night. But speaking of secrets, is Helen hiding some else, or is she just complicated?I guess you're about to find out.Helen speaks many tongues, hides her true alliegences and yet, claims she wants to speak truth. Of course like everyone who claims to be bad at lying, she expertly blends truth with deception. Government trained, positioned centrally within a coven of witches, travelling with the biggest pile of Yimel's Blood seen in one place... and yet she hasn't ratted the trio out, perhaps she's rethinking things. Lies are severly punished by Yimel, so much so that Violet and myself still carry the scars - perhaps Helena is lying to herself, and I hope that doesn't see her hurt.---You can help support the show and get ad free episodes on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.Patreon.com/blighthouse⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find the authors: Email: [email protected]: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/thesprouting⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/vtgnVAZY44 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Blighthouse Studio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ production.---Our Amazing AffliatesIf you want to buy our eldritch plant themed merch, head over to our ⁠⁠⁠Teepublic⁠⁠⁠ store page - www.teepublic.com/stores/blight-house.Or if ⁠⁠Displate⁠⁠ is more your aesthetic, check out Kessir's incredible designs - www.displate.com/artist/BlighthouseStudioWant awesome WOODEN dice?
