Episode 017: The Graveyard Grin | Pt. 1
The majesty and horror of Jamusthal unfolds as our heroes proceed deeper into the city. What’s the nightlife like here? The restaurant scene? What sorts of very normal and non-Euclidean architecture can we expect to see? There’s very little in the guidebook!

Tod’s (and his friend’s) true nature becomes apparent.

Episode 012: The Lone Traveler | Pt. 2
You don’t transmute donkeys, but you do work through your Snowpiercer and Fullmetal Alchemist dog-girl chimera trauma live on stream. The party and their new friend Tod talk next steps. He’s a little nervous and might have a totally innocuous secret or two, but at least our heroes are out of the metaphorical woods. For now. Right?

Episode 011: The Lone Traveler | Pt. 1
The cosmic horrors of Nacht might have bled into our reality during this stream, specifically targeting Zach’s mic throughout this episode. Sorry about that, folks. We’re talking human *and* equine body modification on this SPECIAL GUESTISODE of Knights of the Bantam. It’s a bit of a shorter one, though, so save up your energy for next week!

Episode 010: The Candleman is Here | Pt. 2
“What do you think, Zal? All I need is a title. ‘All work and no play makes Tap go something something’.” “Engage the horse NOS?” “DON’T MIND IF I DO!” Clip-Clip enters a controlled drift Welcome to the show notes! This is where I tell you about stuff. Sometimes it makes sense, if I’ve slept. This week, dealing with the enigma of the ghostly riddles and Norah’s cryptic advice, the party LEVELS UP, discusses the most important meal of the day and sustains permanent hearing damage.

Episode 009: The Candleman is Here | Pt. 1
Ring around the party DM’s gettin’ arty Crit fail, crit fail We’re out of death… saves. We mentioned this podcast is all about psychological horror, right? The party runs into some NIMBY ghosts that know *way too much* about their business, sort out a bunch of [redacted] Roll20 nonsense, and gets real about family planning in the apocalypse.

Episode 008: A Departure | Pt. 2
Scientific progress goes “boink” and often deals 1d4 bludgeoning damage if you fail the Dex save. Town side quests now complete, the party finishes their shopping trip and sets out from Fort Summerwar for good. But not before setting off fireworks in public and running afoul of the local constabulary. Then, they meet the monster that launched a thousand ships (but Clip-Clip/Scar OTP in this editor's opinion).

Episode 007: A Departure | Pt. 1
What’s in the box? What’s in the box? Oh come on, what’s in the booooooox!? Oh, it’s just an egg. Uh, what skill check do I make to figure out if it’s a MacGuffin? This week, the party receives a history lesson from the DM PC, gets the Main Quest in their journals and susses out a series of Steves at a superior soup shop. And more than one member enters the edgy atheist phase of their mental development, what with all the monsters and abject horror going on.

Episode 006: The Woman, The Rooster and the Roach | Pt. 2
Literally can’t even with these levels of exhaustion piling up. That’s a commentary on the game state at this point. It is not a producer’s cry for help. They aren’t keeping me chained to anything. There is nothing to fear. Not as long as Vox keeps editing. After hightailing it out of a sticky situation, the party gains yet another temperamental bird and maybe they learn their new companions’ names? Is that a spoiler? I haven’t committed to whether these notes are spoiler-free yet. Putting “figuring that out” on the to-do list.

When moontouched bugs come creepin’, who are you gonna call?
