0:00.0	Greetings Adventurers. We welcome you back to Season 2 of Dark Dice, and it is good to have you back.
0:06.9	It's been some time, and after our brief break, we are finally back to make the big push that will bring the story to its conclusion.
0:13.1	We are nearing the final episodes for Soren's team, and before you prepare for laughs and games,
0:17.7	this episode marks the final lighthearted chapter before we descend back into
0:21.7	some true horror for the rest of the season, all the way through to our blood-soaked finale.
0:26.8	It is my intention to release an episode of this podcast every two weeks until we've reached
0:30.5	the story's conclusion. If December rolls around before we hit this goal, we'll take a super
0:34.0	brief break, but otherwise, there you have it. Let's prepare for the final four episodes for Soren's team before we turn to Rowena and Sindhry to wrap up the final loose ends. Actually, we have two quick updates, very, very brief. First, we'll be doing a live show at the World's Lair event in London on August 27th. David Alt, the voice of Iacin's keep Jasper William Cartwright, Haji Ogun and Hemp Brewster, Rowena, Granite Pike, will be on stage with us, and I even hear that Ather, the voice of Sinjory, might even be hanging out with us, so please stop by if you're in London that day. Additionally, Stats and I will be co-dmming a table at D&D in a castle next year in March. We're going to be playtesting a future adventure that we have planned for dark dice, and one of those playtesters could be you.
1:12.1	A link is in the show notes. Hey, Michael. Hey, Tom. Well, big news to share it, right? Yes, huge, monumental, earth-shaking. Heartbeat sound effect, big. Mink is back. That's right. After a brief snack nap.
1:28.2	We're coming back.
1:28.8	We're picking snacks?
1:29.7	We're eating snacks.
1:30.4	We're raiding snacks.
1:32.1	Like the snackologist we were born to be.
1:35.3	Mates is back.
1:37.0	Mike and Tom, eat snacks.
1:39.3	Wherever you get your podcasts.
1:41.0	Unless you get them from a snack machine, in which case, call us.
1:48.1	There are vampires out there. They're beside you in the darkness, but what people don't
1:52.6	understand is that they're not monsters. They're just going to work, living there on lives.
1:58.6	But we are a dying breed.
2:02.8	Those who came before me, they are fearful and are not content to sit back and just disappear.
