C3 - Ep38: A Devil Hid His Daughter

September 7, 2026 · 32 min

Show notes

They were inside the portal for an afternoon. Everyone at the outpost says they were gone four days.

Twenty Sides is a fast-paced, story-driven actual play Dungeons & Dragons podcast. This is Campaign 3: Crownfall, Episode 38.

No combat this week. The party gets back through the gate with Miller's hood pulled low and a deception check standing between him and being turned away, and then they go and fetch the one person at the outpost who might be able to explain what happened to his eyes. They find him buried in three and a half days of scrolls, damaged texts and planar studies, because while they were gone he has been chasing a single question: why does a portal whisper? Portals don't whisper. What he found instead is the reason the party's whole understanding of that thing in the woods has been wrong, most portals are doors, but some of them are windows, and a window works in both directions.

Then he ties the tent shut, tells them he hasn't breathed a word of any of this to a single guard or commander, and asks Quinn what her name is.
