The Dragon's Vale Podcast

Part 2

In “Candy Flavoured Energy” part 2, the adventurers continue to enjoy the famous carnival, The Illume Saturnalia.

As they make their way around the carnival, they come to the Maddening Maze. A tall and thick hedge maze has been erected in the fields leading to the entrance to Khern. By some stroke of miraculous fortune, William is able to circumnavigate the maze even before the others have had a chance to work out their bearings. Eventually the remaining party make their way through, winning the group more precious credits.

Unfortunately, William’s luck was short-lived in the next game. Heading towards ‘Dragon Catcher’, the group attempt to catch an illusionary dragon whilst wearing a blindfold. Unimpressed when their attempts fail, Caithe believes the game was a set-up and she and Zagreus decide that a magical tattoo is the next experience they would partake in. They head off to find the tent.

Entering into a tent layered with blue fabrics and marked ‘MagINK Tattoos’, the group meet a pair of pale twins, covered in an array of silver tattoos. They offer a number of different designs that each give a bonus to abilities. Caithe chooses an Eldritch Claw tattoo to be placed on the side of her head, whilst Zagreus chooses an Illuminator tattoo on his forearm. Meanwhile William is trying to decide what he wants but nothing is standing out to him. The twins tell him that there is another tattoo that isn’t regularly given, but it could be tattooed for a price. The twins explain that it is a Shadowfell brand tattoo and William agrees to have it done.

During their tattoos, Caithe talks to the twin about her markings that have been growing on her skin. The twin explains that the markings are an aesthetic they had seen within infernal design. They also tell Caithe that these kinds of markings are likely generational, to which Caithe is shocked.

After the tattoos, they head off to ‘Fortunes and Fables’ run by Madame Tau who offers Ever and Zagreus a tarot reading. Caithe also pays for a reading but points out that it was too generic for her to really take it on board.

Once the readings are finished, the party follows the rest of the crowd as the people of Khern head towards the main tent, and a voice announces the beginning of the main show.
