Hey there, Dragon Friends. It's Michael Hing here, aka Frizo. Before we start the show, if you're in Sydney, I wanted to let you know that on August 5th, which is a Friday, I'm recording my stand-up special special for TV and all that at the Comedy Store in Sydney. I've got a special offer for Dragon Friends listeners. You can get two-for-one tickets to the taping at the Comedy Store website with the code word. Now this is pod racing, all in caps, all in one word.

You've got to buy them in lots of two, so do come along. It'd be great to see you there. Also, a quick note, you won't hear much at all from me this episode, because when we recorded this, I was feeling in hosting a TV show as I need to legitimize myself to my parents. All right, on with the show. If it's spooky, don't be frightened.

Dragon friends. Scurry home and by the door.

Daylight end. And the fiends and cools delight in things that scares.

You'll be well, nowhere. As you make your way, you'll be led to stray,

for the goal is near, and your friends are here and there's plenty more in store it is hard to recollect how long you have been trapped in the

mist shrouded lands of Barovia time moves differently here the sun seems to

set just hours after it rises while the moon darts

backwards as well as forward, spinning night without end. You have finally crossed the threshold

of Castle Ravenloft and are ready to bring justice to the vampire count Strad von Zarovich. Now this

is a strange and foreboding place and you've learned that little is as it seems.

A disastrous dinner date with the vampire has left you bruised but not broken. Frizo, mostly naked,

and filge covered in thyroid juice. So a typical Friday night for the dragon friends.

But beyond the dining room, a stranger's sight still awaits you.

The figure that you thought was the count seems some kind of clockwork puppet,

his appearance at the organ, just a trick of smoke and mirrors.

So who have you been speaking with?

Who spoke with the voice of the vampire strad?

Well, the wretched puppeteer lies cowering at your feet.

It's a fun voice to do.

Please don't hurt me. Please.

I'm going to hurt you.
