This article was first broadcast in Episode One Hundred Forty-eight on 20 January 2021. Lennon: Oh good, there you are. Ryu: Yeah, what do you need stol-aaah recovered? Lennon: Nothing, I need you to help with that. Libby (sadly): Book. Ryu: Um…why me? Lennon: Because every time I try to go near it, Libby zaps me. Ostron: That looks like…yeah that’s three bottles of whiskey and it appears to have moved onto wine. What is a beholder’s alcohol tolerance anyway? Lennon: That’s your department. I just remember Libby actually got along with Ryu when she got it drunk, so… Ryu (sighing): Fine. Ryu (consoling): Hey Libby. What’s wrong, huh? What, oh, you have a piece of paper. Application for acceptance into the Avowed rejected. Aww, that’s too bad. Ostron: Yeah, that’s a blow, keep your chi — um — eyes up though, I’m sure there’ll be another opening soon. Ryu: Okay, nine crying eyes makes the shoulders damp pretty quick. Um, can someone quickly fill me…

This article was first broadcast in Episode One Hundred Forty-seven on 23rd December 2020. Ryu (breathlessly): Oh good, you guys are here. Lennon: Um, yes, are you okay? Ryu: Maybe? Are there side effects to chaining bless spells? Ostron: Why is that a question? Ryu: Look, KayDee is desperately trying to get involved with the Glasya research and I’m fairly sure that will end with her trying to summon the archdevil for a chat. I decided I needed an extra boost so I’ve been getting Gath to bless me continually. Ostron: I don’t know about any side effects but you certainly look like you’re under a lot of strain. Ryu: Yeah, well, you better hope I can hold it together because I’m pretty sure Gath’s totally out of spell slots. Like the ones he uses for resurrection? Ostrong: Right, I assume you have the notes to turn in then? Ryu: Yeah, here, lets go over them. Glasya’s presence in the hierarchy of the…

This article was first broadcast in Episode One Hundred Forty-six on 16th December 2020. Lennon: All right, for some reason all the doors in the guild house are sticking, so I had to call this meeting virtually. Ostron (through loud machinery noises): Yeah, I’m working on that; it’s because of…well anyway I’m working on it. Lennon: Right…I sort of got that. Ryu (through tyrannosaur roar ): Yeah, the door to the stables is definitely stuck. I do not have the Athletics proficiency to fix that. Lennon: Yes we’re all aware that the doors … Ryu (interrupting): No, Peaches, we’ve talked about this, you can’t play with Branwen’s panther. Lennon: Um, Ryu? Ryu: I know, I know, it’s all fast and interesting but you stepped on his tail last time and … Lennon: Ryu! Ryu: What? Lennon: Your sending stone is still broadcasting. Ryu: What? Oh … Lennon: And that brings us to the reason for today’s meeting. See, our chief audio alchemist has been under the…

This article was first broadcast in Episode One Hundred Forty-three on 25th November 2020. Ryu: Okay, so what about when you’re annoyed. Libby (annoyed): Book! Ryu: Right, okay, I think I’m getting the hang of this. Hmm. Drunk. What are you like drunk? Do you get drunk? Hang on. Ostron! Ostron: Speaking. Ryu: Can you get me a fireball? Libby (worried and angry): Book! Ryu: No, not an actual fireball, the whiskey. Lennon: Did someone say whiskey. Ostron: Either that or Ryu wants me to set the annex on fire. Ryu: No, no, I’m trying to get Libby drunk. Lennon: Hm. See usually when someone says something that makes me think of questions I need, but definitely don’t want answers to, it’s Ostron, but here goes. What in Bog’s name are you trying to get Libby drunk for? Ryu: I’m trying to get to know it better. See I found this thing called “emotional exercise” and it’s supposed to help you get to know someone better.…

This article was first broadcast in Episode One Hundred Forty-two on 18th November 2020. Ostron: All right, I’m calling it; there’s just too much damage. Lennon: I don’t know, a lot of things still seem to be working… Ostron: Mikey has, like, two functional crystal balls to do audio alchemy, the scrying pool is still leaking water from Umberlee knows where, and ROSTRO keeps randomly turning itself on. Ryu (mumbling to herself): That might be because you keep working in places where there are a lot of falling objects. Ostron: What? Ryu: Never mind, so what’s the alternative? Hire an army of dwarves and wizards to fix the place up? Ostron: No, I rework the teleportation runes into transmutation runes and it resets the guild house and almost everything in it to the state it was in before the Tarrasque attack.  Lennon: And we’ve been trying to glue and tape this place back together for two weeks why? Ryu: Hang on, I’m…
