Welcome, Venturers, to episode 98 of the Venture Maintenance Podcast.

Before we dive in, I want to remind you all that the best way to keep up with the latest

VM news is to follow us on social media.

You can find us on Twitter and Instagram at Venture Maintenance.

And if you want the real deal community connection, why don't you join our Discord server?

We have an amazing community of folks there who chat about the show, as well as organize

games, share sweet memes, and generally support one another.

You can find that Discord invite link on our social media pages, as well as on our

Twitch streams and YouTube video descriptions.

And of course, if you want even more content, you can always support us on Patreon.

If you head over to patreon.com slashventure maintenance, you can gain access to hundreds

of hours of bonus episodes for just one dollar a month.

You also get a cadre of magic items to use in your own D&D games, monthly coloring book

pages, a sneak peek at our game notes, and so much more.

Thank you as always to the donors who make this show possible, and a big thank you to Emily

Mayo for creating our theme song and to Katie Truex for our mid-roll bumpers.

Now, without further ado, I'll give you a short recap of what happened last time, then
