Episode 2
Discovered Disturbance

In the forest of Dulewood, an ancient power stirs. Druce Balfore, a Crimson Command scout, visits a small village on the outskirts of this massive forest. He meets with a village elder who assigns an elven ranger, Faelin Marris, the task of escorting Druce into Dulewood to locate this mysterious force that alters the forest's environment.

This is the first actual play episode of our podcast and to start off, we had two guests come in to set the scene. Dean Reid and Garrison Woods are friends of the main cast and have played Dungeons and Dragons with Dave several times before this.
