C3 - Ep43: Three Days Passed

October 12, 2026 · 32 min

Show notes

Something on the road opens its mouth and a human voice comes out. It is not its voice.

Twenty Sides is a fast-paced, story-driven actual play Dungeons & Dragons podcast. This is Campaign 3: Crownfall, Episode 43.

Two days of walking back toward the outpost with the prism, and on the second night the howling in the trees stops being distant. Six of them are coming up the road, five ordinary and one that is not, and they are not heading anywhere good. The party could let them pass. The party decides not to, and then immediately botches the approach badly enough that the things get to move first, which costs Miller more in one exchange than anything in the observatory managed.

What follows is the most lopsided fight this campaign has produced, in the other direction. Then one of the few still standing opens its mouth, and what comes out is worse than the howling was.

They get the prism to the one person at the outpost they trust with it, and he tells them exactly what it does by way of a story about his childhood that nobody asked for and nobody will forget.
