Welcome ventures to another episode. First off, we want to say thank you for your patience lately

with our delayed podcast episode releases. As we've made some changes to our editing processes,

we've encountered some bumps in the road, but we are continuing to do our best with the resources

at our disposal. With that said, I don't want to keep you from the action, so let's hop in.

Thank you so much to Emily Mayo for composing our wonderful theme song,

thank you to Tabletop Audio for providing additional ambient music,

and thank you to all you fine folks who support the show by leaving ratings,

reviews, hanging out in our discord, and supporting us via Patreon. Y'all rocks are sucks.

All right, so here's a recap of what happened last time, then we'll dive right in.

Last time on Venture Maidens. Our Maidens get further embroiled in the mystery of Lily Hall

as they meet with the members of the Oleana family. After hearing testimony from the groom

and the mother of the bride, our heroes decided to keep watch over Enzo's bedroom to catch whatever

dark force has been visiting him night after night. While Eiffa took up watch, Lew and Cassie went for

a romantic moonlit boat ride. The date was interrupted when the pair spotted a body dressed in white

on the lake's edge. Just before their horrible discovery, Eiffa was jolted into action by screams

coming from Laurie Silvertail's room. Eiffa arrived on the scene just in time to save Tony's uncle

from a spell that was causing his lungs to fill with water. With immediate danger past,

the group noticed a parting message that had been scratched into the wall.

And that's what happened. So now, here's the show.

Gather round travelers to hear our tale. Something is stocking Lily Hall with strange powers

that back in call. Now we'll hear who brought it here. And past mistakes become clear.

Stay afloat as we head into favor. Episode 30. Drown the sorrows.
