In this week’s Actual Play, the prisoners from The Big Break finally put their plan into motion and mount a daring escape. First, however, they must recover the warden’s security passkey, without which they cannot access the dry docks where submarines from the surface make regular deliveries. In the warden’s personal quarters, they discover another prisoner, one mysteriously immune to the alien creatures that have turned other inmates into hyper-loyal, super strong footsoldiers, and rescue him from solitary confinement. When the escapees trigger the warden’s dead man switch on a hidden booby trap, they must find an alternate route out of the prison complex, one which will lead them to confront the prison doctor and a squad of alien hybrids in hopes of boarding the one escape sub. Can they defeat the hybrids and pilot the sub to freedom, or will they find themselves sealed in a watery tomb? Listen to find out!

When Agent Lundy calls with news of a home invasion and vicious beating, Frank must round up his friends and head to Lancaster, PA, where holiday folklore seems to have collided with cosmic horror.

With the river un-dammed and the ogres set to the task of rounding up the chili golems, The Nettlers (and Taeros) head home to free their town from the orc mercenaries. However, before they breach the walls and enact their foolproof (?) plan to retake Nettle, they’ll need to reconnect with some old friends. Brinton’s brother, Bohrs, who was cast out by their con-artist parents as a child, has been living off the land for most of his life, and when he meets the party in the abandoned bandit camp, he decides to join their cause. A pair of guardsmen freed from their orcish overseer also agree to pitch in to help bring down the corrupt commander of the town guard, Baldric. Can the Nettlers (and Taeros) end the reign of Lord Edwardson, liberate Nettle from a band of tribeless orcs, and save the people they love, or will all their efforts thus far be in vain? Listen to find out!
