Dear listener, Finally on their way, the group head down the mountain, across the crystal and into The Cradle proper as they make their way to Korentus, but with night drawing in, will they be able to find a safe haven for the night? I guess you're about to find out. The kindness of strangers seems to be a fickle thing - sometimes it is dependent on the needs of the asker, the availability of resources of the stranger, and sometimes it comes solely down to mood. I am personally grateful upon the kindness of strangers; Zlata spreading my word when needed, Seraphine for her understanding, Vivaldi for his trust and companionship. Kindness, in all it's forms, should be treasured when gifted, regardless of the origin of it. --- 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] Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/thesprouting⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/vtgnVAZY44 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ This is a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Blighthouse Studio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ production.

Dear listener, OTI, the investigator, returns with a plethora of information about the local area, which helps our human investigators to plan their next move. However, their new radio operator friend reacts in a surprising manner to a favor to take care of a precious object. Is it possible that their new friends aren't as trustworthy as one might hope? I guess you're about to find out. It's curious to me how little you know about one another. It's plain to me that the Gumpendorfians have their struggles, scars, accolaides, tales of bravery and cowardice. Perhaps this thing called asking would help? Although no, your kind values privacy. Privacy is something I have come to treasure.

Dear Listener, Listening is a skill set one must learn to work effectively in this world, and its a crucial infrastructure in The Cradle - so much so that the group pull together to help Helena with the radio tower, going so far as to persuade Araminthia and climb up high to attach the dish. Work that comes with a surprise reward for communicating with friends far away - but how does Helena know about these secrets? I guess you're about to find out. Thank you to Karin for voicing Lacy and Sarah for voicing Araminthia. --- 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] Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/thesprouting⁠⁠⁠⁠ Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/vtgnVAZY44 ⁠⁠⁠⁠ This is a ⁠⁠⁠⁠Blighthouse Studio⁠⁠⁠⁠ production.

Dear Listener, Lacy shows Lark and Ralph her magical healing processes through the medium of tattooing. Refusing to partake in the healing process, Sully instead works on planning their next excursion, perhaps as a means to occupy his mind as the following morning he speaks to his niece for the first time in a decade, but why doesn't she want to speak to him? I guess you're about to find out. Leaving home is never easy, but after reading and learning about you all, it seems that it's sometimes harder to return. And in the world I'm obeserving, walking away (or in this situation, pushed away) often means you never see them again. I wonder if Sully ever considered that he'd never see his younglings again when he left.

Dear Listener, The witches of Gumpendorf prove most helpful: with respect to the light magic that they do know, and the knowledge of whom might be able to help them with the more eldritch, weirder kind of magic. With Lacy and Araminthia providing them two people with whom to potentially ask more questions of, I wonder if Sully will get this way about who they will go see? I guess you're about to find out. They say in your world that every villain has a story; that they're the hero in their own stories. I wonder if that's true. I wonder if those working for The Sickle know they're actively harming the Cradle. I know those that I call at least have choices, and I rarely ask them to do much at all. At least I think I do. Perhaps where I think I am one of the heroes, you're in fact partaking of this story with the mind set that I am like my kin: an eldritch horror. I guess I'M about to find out.

Dear Listener, This time around, we find our travelers ascending the mountain under armed escort, into the welcoming arms of the Coven at Gumpendorf. Here, they find friends old and new on the highest peak in the middle of The Cradle. But who's old friend do they meet? I guess you're about to find out. Friendship is such a funny thing, don't you think? You can lose contact with people for centuries... well for you human decades maybe... and then pick up like no time at all has passed... the best of friends. Well, by "lose contact" we mean don't reach out or be reached out to... Friendship really is a funny thing.
