S2E132 – Souls 4 Cash?

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of a pistol, must be in want of silver bullets. However little known the feelings or views of a werewolf on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the local investigators that he is considered as the rightful target of some one or other of their daughters…  The cast of the Dugongs and Seadragons podcast (and guests) were at Rose City Comic Con in Portland, and live-recorded an episode set in Regency England, using the Call of Cthulhu RPG system.

Here at D&SD Over the Summer on Wednesdays we will be releasing some of our cool side campaign episodes! This series is called "The Playa Rose" is a western campaign DM'd by our Very own Andrew Kornblatt.  Serpentine Visions and Restless Sleep After collecting their thoughts and taking shelter for the night, the party experiences a disturbing development. During the deep hours before dawn, Marshal and Morgan are afflicted by strange, unsettling dreams that leave them with restless, broken sleep. Both of their unique nightmares end with the same terrifying image: a snake-like figure with piercing yellow eyes. The next morning finds them gathered around a table in Mona's saloon, sharing their troubling visions and debating their next course of action. The dreams seem connected to their investigation, suggesting supernatural forces are taking an active interest in their activities. They must decide whether to seek out the mysterious "table witch" mentioned by the gravedigger, investigate the Dragonborn tribe that Floyd had been studying, or pursue another lead entirely. From Floyd's journals, Morgan and Consuela learn more about his relationship with the local Dragonborn tribe and his growing concerns about Laurentine's mining operations. The scientist's notes reveal his frustration with the Dragonborn's initial coldness and distrust, their treatment by eastern settlers, and his gradual friendship with a tribal member named Krish. That's the end of our Playa Rose Summer Release. Want to hear the rest?

Here at D&SD Over the Summer on Wednesdays we will be releasing some of our cool side campaign episodes! This series is called "The Playa Rose" is a western campaign DM'd by our Very own Andrew Kornblatt.  Sharing Secrets and Digging Graves The party reunites in Liberty Bluff to compare their discoveries and plan their next moves. Over drinks at a traveling medicine show, they piece together the growing conspiracy: the bizarre blight affecting the land, the mysterious musical mercenaries, Laurentine's machinations, Floyd Davis's murder, and the identity of the mysterious "Her" pursuing Floyd's spirit. Emboldened by their alleged medicine (which may have been a bit stronger than advertised), the group decides that answers lie with Floyd's body itself. Under cover of darkness, they sneak into the cemetery to exhume his grave, hoping Morgan's necromantic abilities can extract the truth directly from the deceased. However, their midnight grave-robbing reveals an shocking discovery: instead of Floyd's corpse, they find only a strange scarecrow stuffed with straw. Investigating the coffin further, they discover a large desert lizard scale - oddly oversized and out of place. Their investigation is interrupted by the arrival of a surly, grizzled gravedigger and caretaker who alludes to these strange occurrences of missing bodies being the work of a "table witch." When Marshal asks for clarification about which table - dining room? picnic? - the gravedigger's cryptic warnings only deepen the mystery.

Here at D&SD Over the Summer on Wednesdays we will be releasing some of our cool side campaign episodes! This series is called "The Playa Rose" is a western campaign DM'd by our Very own Andrew Kornblatt.  Meanwhile, in Liberty Bluff... While chaos unfolds at the homestead, Consuela and Morgan investigate the mysterious death of Floyd Davis in Liberty Bluff. Their search for his widow leads them to the sheriff's office, where they find Sheriff Scelop - a rotund, incompetent iguana-man - snoring face-down at his desk beside an empty whiskey bottle. After convincing the flustered sheriff they represent financial interests regarding Floyd, they're directed to the Davis-Bluff house with a request to tell the widow to stop "rabble rousing." The Victorian-style house with its curated native plant garden seems larger inside than out, unnaturally cool and dark despite the desert heat. They meet the surly but welcoming housemaid Miss Margery, who leads them to Dalia Blundell – an exotic, eerie figure who immediately sets Consuela on edge with vampire suspicions, while Morgan finds herself oddly enthralled. Realizing their interests align in seeking justice for Floyd, Dalia takes them to her late husband's study. In Floyd's study, they discover two of his three precious journals, plus a surveyor's chain and compass -but the third journal remains missing. As they search, Consuela experiments with a sample of arcanite, triggering a magical flash that causes her eyes to glow blue and grants her supernatural perception. In this enhanced state, Consuela witnesses the terrified specter of Floyd Davis emerging from the wall, desperately seeking Dalia before being dragged back into shadow by smoke-black arms with long claws, his final scream echoing her name.
