WWW #45: Nothing

Fortunate Horse, Worlds Beyond Number
About this episode

Across the night, with the dawn, this version of her, our gilled mage. Suvirin Kedberiket, amphibious and unalone. In the ice cave abattoir, our survivors, the otter and the otherworldly. The fresh hells of a secret past. And then, the trail, far beyond the broad road, taking them to whatever gifts the past has left. The task at hand. A good feeling. Dark river water. Bodies at the bottom murk, but above us: nothing. Exactly where we want to be.

Oh hey, if you'd like to hear more details about Suvi getting new spells from all those wet, wet books, we have a whole behind-the-scenes mini episode about it on our patreon! Don't you wanna know what spells she got? Don't ya? Come on in, fam, the pod is fine.
