C3 - Ep45: Hand Over Hand

October 26, 2026 · 33 min

Show notes

Miller has one job: keep the mapmakers busy out in the snow. Annabel has to find one map in a tent full of them.

Twenty Sides, a D&D actual play podcast. Campaign 3, Crownfall, Episode 45.

To fix the cracked Focusing Prism, the party needs a map of the forest to the northwest, and every map at the outpost lives in the scholars' tent. An outpost brother brings two scholars out of the tent, and Miller keeps them standing in a snowstorm over the party's map of the portal, grilling one of them about scale, keys and what you are supposed to draw for a portal, until the mapmaker takes Miller's hand and draws it for him. Inside, Annabel unrolls map after map, puts each wrong one back, and slips out with the right one. Miller brushes the mapmaker off by calling him terrible at his job and walking away.

Back in the tent, the brother who helped them is now sure he is part of the team, and he is already pitching names. Zalkim confirms the map, the prism goes into Annabel's bag, and the party rides out into the cold. On the first night under a big tree, Miller tests his new darkvision on watch, Annabel asks Quinn about her Sky Daddy, and the howls out in the dark do not stop.
