Crudely Drawn Swords - A Dungeon World Actual Play Podcast

Picking up after last episode's cliffhanger ending, the Hawks are engaged in a battle against an ancient monstrosity. Even if they win, will there be something even more dangerous beyond the long-sealed gates of Batmazgorod? Enigma punches above her weight, Percy strides on through, Tristan is only in it for the experience and Bambari is a physical Adonis in this ingressive episode of Crudely Drawn Swords.

If the hawks are to carry out their grand scheme and get help from the underground kingdom of Batmazgorod, they need to open a gateway sealed hundreds of years ago, by an ancient evil. Percy rushes in, Enigma lets fly with bow and arrow, Tristan discovers the difference between theory and practice and Bambari is surprisingly effective in this satisfying buffet of Crudely Drawn Swords.

Finally, some answers to the big questions that have been plaguing our heroes, and all delivered through the medium of tedious and excessively detailed poetry by annoying elves. Could life get any better? Probably- here's hoping that all the news is good! Enigma is enjoying the culture, Bambari is hating the culture, Tristan knows a lot about dwarven culture and Percy is no expert in the more artistic cultural pursuits in this enlightening episode of Crudely Drawn Swords.

In the heart of the Woodmarch Forest, the Hawks have met the famous Witch of Woodmarch, discovering something interesting about her family in the process. A chance to discuss recent revelations, learn a little about Bambari's past and, of course, share a hearty breakfast. Percy offers Tristan a wake-up call, Enigma is not a sausage and Bambari has an imaginary friend in this much coven-ted episode of Crudely Drawn Swords.

The Hawks have arrived at the dangerous Woodmarch forest, and now they must venture deep through its shadowed glades if they are to find the elves, risking hazardous wildlife, mysterious spirits and terrifying witchery. Enigma is treated with appropriate reverence, Percy clashes with Tristan and Bambari gets a wake up call in this sylvan episode of Crudely Drawn Swords.

With affairs in the grey lands resolved to several people's satisfaction, it is time for the Hawks take a moment for breakfast, before setting out in search of the ancient past. Bambari reflects on geography, Enigma protects her allies from spoilers, Percy starts Bambari's training and Tristan is strangely quiet in this big-budget cerealisation of Crudely Drawn Swords.

In the second half of the Hawks adventures in the shadowed realm, they draw closer together, make further bargains and gain some sweet ink. Bambari gets a good deal, Tristan sings about feudalism, Enigma reflects on her situation and there is an opportunity for Percival Cleft to show his quality in this DEADicated episode of Crudely Drawn Swords.

Spoiler alert: Something bad happened at the end of the end of the last episode and now the people to whom the bad thing didn't happen must stage a daring bid to rescue the person to whom it did. This episode we take a break from our regular Dungeon World adventures because the realms of the dead, through which our heroes must pass, work by different rules. Percy shares a forgettable anecdote, Bambari is a powerful wizard, Tristan talks to humble creatures and Enigma keeps curious company in this darkling episode of Crudely Drawn Swords.

In Hyde Mansion, events are coming to a head as the Hawks close on their prey, or possibly vice versa. Hidden trapdoors will open, thieves will come out of the closet and everyone will learn that sometimes when one door opens, another closes. Bambari isn't talking to Tristan, Enigma meets her match, Percy keeps his cool and Tristan makes it all about Tristan.

The Hawks make their way into the mansion where it seems a dangerous Icewatcher cell may be holed up, but can they locate their enemies without walking into any further traps, falling into any dangerous pits or accidentally burning the whole place to the ground? Percy gets everyone down, Tristan finds a catch, Bambari bricks it and Enigma goes in search of the satire in this enigmatic episode of Crudely Drawn Swords.

Following Enigma's dashing rooftop chase, the Hawks have a destination- an old mansion on the edge of town and a very simple mission: Get into the building. How hard can it be? In this episode of Crudely Drawn Swords: Tristan shoots at statuary, Percy turns turtle, Enigma is effective and Bambari doesn't even want your stupid healing.

A gentle stroll through the nocturnal streets of Farmouth has been interrupted by a crossbow bolt and our heroes set off in hot pursuit of the would-be assassin. Tristan throws some knives, Percy shares some anecdotes, Bambari drops some rhymes and Enigma risks everything - Crudely Drawn Swords is back; shout it from the rooftops.

A body has been dragged out of the river, having been stabbed in the back multiple times. Our heroes begin to suspect that they did not accidentally drown and naturally dive into investigating everything else in the city, arguing amongst themselves, picking out a team name and purchasing sausages. Enigma works her contacts, Tristan trades his clothing, Bambari befriends his natural allies and Percy grows increasingly confused in the latest episode of Crudely Drawn Swords.

Our heroes are back home in Farmouth, but it seems that those familiar streets are not as safe as they used to be. Percy moves up in the world, Bambari sucks on a scab, Tristan demonstrates the art of disguise and Enigma may be lion about something as our second adventure begins...

Night has come and with it a deadly foe. In the epic conclusion to our first adventure, Tristan and Percy face an enemy that exceeds them in every respect, Enigma shows a natural talent for dressage and Bambari uses a powerful magic item. Some friends will be parted, others reunited , but the Black Gate casts a long shadow and the ice does not give up willingly.

On the wall, Tristan and Percy have won a small victory and found a brief respite before the enemy returns, but now they have played their only gambit and their opponents are numerous, strong and when they come back they will be prepared. When all else fails, what do our heroes have left to turn to?

Defending Windrush pass against seemingly insurmountable odds, Percival and his squad are getting along like a house on fire, whilst Tristan's attempts to achieve victory through horror and revulsion have somewhat more mixed results.

At the wall, the Icewatcher army has arrived, now Tristan, Percival and their allies face the battle of their lives. Meanwhile Enigma ( enigma ) and Bambari have their own troubles as they make their way down the pass towards Farndale in a desperate bid to get help.

At the top of Windrush Pass, Percival and Tristan prepare to face an army, Percy embarks on a noble quest and Tristan learns some new words, like "bravery", "heroism", "grossly inappropriate" and "civil law suit."
