Welcome to Legends of Aventress.

I'm Barnabos Dread Wake and you're listening to Icebound.

Here's what happened last time.

Every couple weeks or month or so, the lottery happens, and Sokolitz comes down and schloops him back up, back to heaven.

If you guys think you'll be all right, I mean, we can be there and back before anybody even knows we're missing.

We've never kept watch like this, and with Taishen here, maybe we'll be fine.

We'll make sure that it's monitored 24-7.

Does anybody else find it a little odd that these ogres that are keeping all these people

captive, I guess, are able to just freely walk through

these sewer systems, deliver letters to each other. It's like they're completely oblivious.

This is why it feels like this does not add up. Assuming that all of this is an illusion,

we could still just be underground, right? Either means that this place is covered in some sort of illusion magic

to protect it from outsiders,

or it doesn't exist at all.

I'm wondering if this is something beyond

the normal magics that I'm in with,

or would you like me to use my mind's eye?

I think you should still use your mind's eye

if you're repairing it because we still need to look for fish.

See a hand holding onto the foot of your ethereal form.

The hand is connected to an arm, connected to an ogre's body, and a gnarling rat, roaring, slobbering, og ogre holds on and to your horror behind him dozens of additional

ghastly apparitions not aberrations but ghostly spirits are coming up moving almost as quickly as you are
