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. Thank you to Karin for voicing Lacy. --- 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, 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.

Act One of Five: And lo, on the eve of the mayoral election, a messenger did appear to the good folk of Sherrydown. Programme notes This production contains fantasy violence, drug use, sex references and authoritarian coercion. Don’t miss the epilogue at the very end of the episode! Luvvie alert! We simply must introduce you to The Monster’s Playbook, another actual play Monster of the Week podcast, where the real world crashes into the paranormal over and over and over again. Dramatis personae and other definitions Gwynned: A former shieldmaiden of the triple goddess Morrigan. For the crime of saving a mortal man from the Morrigan’s cruel whim, the goddess exiled Gwyn to live as a duck, overlooked by mortals. Recently freed from the curse, Gwyn is negotiating a new relationship with her mistress. Jinny Greenteeth: Proprietor of the Grove of Oddities, a tacky Sherrydown tourist attraction. In a past life, Jinny was branded a witch after a series of drownings in her Lancashire village. Renko: A DoOm agent assigned to Sherrydown, furloughed since the office closed. Harper: A US exchange student trying to sever her ties to the Shadow realm she sometimes enters through revolving doors. Department of Omissions (DO, DoOm): The UK government department tasked with preventing harm to citizens from supernatural phenomena. Severely defunded under Tory austerity policies and currently prioritising major urban population centres. Sherrydown, Brackshire: A historic English market town. One of the first towns to lose its DoOm office. Omission effect: The rejection of certain beings and phenomena by long-term memory. Can be suppressed by concentration, mnemonic techniques, hypnosis, trauma, or the light of the full moon. Credits COMPERE: Matt Boothman STARRING: Natalie Winter as Gwynned, the Divine Josh Yard as Jinny Greenteeth, the Spellslinger Vikki as Renko, the Flake Marta da Silva as Harper, the Searcher ROLEPLAYING GAME SYSTEM: Monster of the Week, designed by Michael Sands MUSIC BY: Alexander Pankhurst SOUND DESIGN BY: Matt Boothman SFX AND INCIDENTAL MUSIC INCLUDES: pigeons taking off by glaneur de sons on Freesound (CC BY 3.0); and may include others made available to use without attribution.

Dear Listener, Reeling after an awful situation, the remaining group members return to the scene of Seekers death to pass the night in relative safety before the long climb up the mountain. Do you think the two men coming down the mountain at them with shotguns will notice the cult's artifact carelessly tossed into the mine? I guess you're about to find out.
