Natural Six

Want to know how the sausage was made? Well, in this week’s episode of Action Surge, we reveal far too much. Including how Doug removed and ate the filling from a sausage roll, then folded the pastry back together and put it back in the bag. Frankly, abhorrent.

Once we have accepted that Doug might be a killer, it is back to D&D. We talk about those little shards of broken gem, and how utterly shocked Harry was when we casually ignored every piece of breadcrumbing he tried to lay down. We reflect on how right it felt for Dolly, Raidion, and Elowen to hang back, making space for some genuinely perfect story moments and very good dice rolls. I might have drugged a guy, but it was extremely cool.

We also discuss how much we love piling on Ben whenever he does something silly, and look at what happened this time. We think about Dolly and her plans for the future, how Aoife imagines all of this playing out, and why we are absolutely convinced it is all going to be incredibly important.

Finally, we discuss how deeply unfair it is for Alex to claim he is not patient when, in reality, he is just very excitable, and we love him for it.

There are times when victory tastes sweet, when flowers bloom, and cheers swell, and the world feels ready to celebrate. But even triumph can feel heavy when the noise grows too loud and when the eyes that follow expect too much. Sometimes the only way to breathe is to slip away and wander the quieter corners of a city that no longer remembers how to shine.

For in the places where stories were once told freely, silence has begun to settle. Words falter, inspiration dries, and even the brightest spirits dim beneath an unseen weight. Joy has grown thin, stretched too tight, tugged away by something that feeds on the spark that keeps a city alive. And as laughter fades and passion drains, the search for answers becomes a race against the rising quiet.
And in the hush of a hidden room, secrets cling to silvered glass, and as the truth gathers its shape, it’s the final step that brings you face-to-face with far more than your reflection.

Aoife went out for milk. We are sure she will come back for us eventually, but while we wait for her return and her love, let’s talk about everything that happened in episode 47, and a whole bunch of other stuff, too.

This episode really was all about the race, and we absolutely have to give Harry his flowers for everything he put together and how perfectly it came together in the end. A special mention also goes to Harry’s wife for the beautiful arts and crafts diorama that brought the whole thing to life.

We take a deep dive into the mechanics for each district, the stats of the ships and crews, and how each one felt genuinely unique. Harry even designed his own version of a Mario Kart blue shell for the finale (thanks for that). We talk about the gorgeous boat Mark from Crafted Campaigns sent over for the race, how we broke it, how we broke it some more, and how we nearly didn’t have any other minis because the Uber driver thought we might be shipping drugs.

We also spent some time talking about Raidion, the Thornbears, and how fun it might be to start exploring that thread further. Plus, we all agree that Kelnys is totally proficient with panpipes, and that Aoife was rolling so badly this episode that she more or less went through the full stages of grief.

There are moments when spirits sink low, and the world needs something bold enough to send a ripple running through the darkness. Hope always has a way of coming back to the surface, rising on a swell of laughter, competition, and the kind of enthusiasm that refuses to stay anchored for long.

Sometimes all it takes is a little mischief to keep the current moving. And when the race begins? Well, decorum might take a holiday, rules might drift conveniently out of sight, and the idea of always coming first becomes a touch…shellfish. Tricks can set the tide turning, bold choices can leave the competition half-mast, and every stroke sends another wave of chaos across the bow. After all, when the spirits need lifting, what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

But somewhere between the splashing, scheming, and spirited rowing, joy begins to crest again. Because sometimes, to stay afloat, you have to let go, lean in, and trust that even the choppier waters can carry you forward. And if you happen to ruffle a few feathers on the way to brighter shores? Well, that’s all part of the plan!

We like 'em cold, we like 'em hot. It's time for this week’s Action Surge!

This week we talk about bad luck, poor rolls, and everyone’s note-taking abilities. Nobody will be surprised to learn that some people are better at this than others. Welcome to the Alex Jordan mind palace.

We think everyone agrees that the Temple of the Once Wild was a pretty special place. We talk about Magnus, Harry’s inspiration behind him, and let’s be honest, we all agree that Magnus and Lovak would have got into a lot of trouble in the past. Good trouble. Well, bad good trouble. You know what we mean.

From there, we turn our attention to letters, language, and Theolon, a god of two halves. Those letters might not be as unknown as they once were, and if you need a reminder of what they said, you can find them, and so much more, over on our Fandom. Don't forget to check it out!
Harry talks about the challenges of balancing multiple character stories and arcs, and how he switches between them. Ben shares some insight into how he is playing Raidion right now, including the mashing and merging of character sheets.

Finally, we look ahead to Harry’s next big action sequence, the upcoming boat race, and why action at the table does not always have to mean fighting and battles.

Is this our Podracing moment?!
