We begin with some table house rules, of a fun goofy nature, before getting into the game proper. With a full night's rest the Riders awake with a bit more power flowing through them. Wounds licked and weaknesses shored up they begin to look over the sacred final resting site of the Adlet hero. More than treasure is discovered locked in the ice however.

With the bones of the ice serpent shattered across the cavern the Riders collect the fallen and move onward. Their goal approaches but danger still hangs thick in the air.

Travel through the crevasse continues onward with a bit more caution or at least that is the plan.  Twitter: @GamingOnTheRocs YouTube: http://bit.ly/gotrtube Patreon: https://bit.ly/facesquid Discord: https://discord.gg/s8ZZhAm

As a storm rolls in from the horizon the group takes shelter inside the corpses of some recently felled spider monstrosities. With some teamwork they find out what it takes to become the best you can be without adventuring.

With a return to the biter winter of Triaxus we find the Riders catching their breath after a battle with some spider monstrosities. By their side is a local shaman, an Adelt - a type of white furred wolf-like humanoids, by the name of Baknarla. She calls out into the surrounding tundra seeking her travel companions.   Twitter: @GamingOnTheRocs YouTube: http://bit.ly/gotrtube Patreon: https://bit.ly/facesquid Discord: https://discord.gg/s8ZZhAm

Season 8 comes to an end with a conclusion to "The Dreamer" arc begun during Ryan's last run in Season 4.

The group agrees to help the village restore some local wards... with the stipulation that it does not deter from their path to the Bone & Brew. While waiting on information on where to head, some magical tinkering with Lar's shield is undertaken.   Twitter: @GamingOnTheRocs YouTube: http://bit.ly/gotrtube Patreon: https://bit.ly/facesquid Discord: https://discord.gg/s8ZZhAm Ethera: http://secrethearth.com/games

Once again picking up immediately from the previous episode the group heads into the strange dome to speak with the village leader. A request for help is made and agreed upon as it has little effect on travel.

Picking up immediately from the last episode the group continues travels and goes through a crafting montage. A few discussions concerning Francis comes up as well as legs, fleshy and otherwise.

The group re-visits the small hut that stands at the shore. Unlike their previous visit the owner is present this time around. Before heading into the house Lar attempts to reason with it.

We go on a bit of a pun spiral at the top of the episode but make it through unscatched. The group finishes a day of shopping then heads to the obelisk to the south. Upon entering a strange feeling of reliving the dream of others takes over.

The group engages in a well deserved shopping trip. They have been far from towns with pockets full of coin for too long. A mix of wish lists, skill checks to find items, and roleplaying. With all that fun they still must answer the most important question of all... but what about third breakfast?
