Hey everybody, this is Griffin real quick before we get into this episode. I wanted to give you a heads up that the audio is not amazing. This is our live show from Tacoma and the levels were a little bit too hot and it's a little bit blown out because of that.

It's still totally listenable but it's not really up to snuff and I am very sorry about that. I hope you enjoy it regardless.

We still really wanted to put it out because this is our candle night's episode and it was a lot of fun to record and we wanted you to hear it anyway.

But I wanted to give you a heads up that the levels aren't super super great. But yeah, we'll be back next week though.

If you haven't heard, we're going to be trying to go weekly starting in January with the rest of the experimental arcs and I'm going to be running the next one and I'm really excited for you to hear it.

So the next one, the next episode you hear is going to be our setup episode for my next arc and that is going to go up on Thursday, January 4th.

So go ahead and listen to our candle night's adventure and I'll be back with the commercial break here in a bit.

Alright, so I've got a poem I wrote to walk us into the adventure tonight and if you can go ahead and play the poem background music, there we go.

It was the night before candle nights and all through the land. Oh, that's a little loud. What?

And all through the land, danger, clawed upward with a dark frozen hand.

At the in the adepts of a dungeon at the edge of the world, a conflict was brewing and adventure unfurled. If you can just bring the music down even more.

Just like half that. Oh, there we go.

In the hold known as icekey, a voice within whales and echoes off mountains through valleys and trails and into new fandolin, a town you'll recall whose mayor became troubled by this sad catter wall.

So she called out for heroes in a media blitz for a mission well paying with good benefits.

Heroes emerge and embark on the quest and all ended in failure and their dark, endless rest.

Save for one team of heroes and you might know their names, Merle Magnus and Taco of Adventure Zone fame.

They saved the world once and were financially stable but when trouble arises, they're still willing and able to battle for glory in a worthwhile melee or find treasure for Taco to squirrele away.

And so stand trace horny boys before the icekeep to hunt down the cryer and put it to sleep if only they knew of the traps and the fights that awaited them all on this cold candle nice.

Griffin, I didn't have a pen. Could you repeat that? So the three of you are standing before the entrance to icekeep, a frozen subterranean dungeon past the hills surrounding new fandolin.

The call to arms put out by the village's mayor attracted countless parties who sought to silence the voice in this dungeon, the voice the three of you hear loud and clear calling from the depths, but none of those parties ever returned.

Come on into my dungeon.

You got what it sounds like? No. No, it sounds like.
