As our heroes rush through the Verdwood, they are ambushed at Sapstring Ridge. In the bitter-cold rain, they struggle for their lives against unfeeling, masked opponents. Anton, Riku, and Tristran were meant to provide aid, but will they be mere burdens? How heavy will the guilty conscience weigh should one of these brave souls fall prey to the forest’s predators?
Reed endures, Isolde stomps, and Kaija conducts a strange interview.
Our heroes return to the Verdwood at the bidding of their now much-less-mysterious benefactor, Sir Dagmar Karppinen and the True Originalist “Truthseekers”. Though, our heroes do not embark on this journey alone. Alone or not, the woods are listening, and they will take their toll.
Kaija shoots. Isolde casts. Reed makes a peculiar decision.
“I sometimes have regrets.” – Impediment Reed
Our first arc of the Iron Immortals podcast has been an amazing experience. The last time I regularly ran RPG game sessions was back when I was working on Red Dead Redemption down in San Diego. That campaign died, however, when the regular 80-hour work weeks sent me to the hospital for the second time. If I tried to do more than sleep and work, I would collapse. I just lacked the fortitude to go on.
The Iron Immortals series has been quite an endeavor, and it’s done a lot to reinvigorate my creativity. I’ve already written about that on our Patreon page.
Today, I want to call attention to the incredible work from one of our fans: Anna LaValley.
Our heroes finally meet their mysterious benefactor and are faced with a terrible decision. Do they do as they have promised and seek out the perpetrator of the Messertag murders, or do they face a new challenge before it grows to endanger the whole of the Empire?
Reed makes an entrance. Kaija makes a friend. Isolde makes an unusual call.
Fragment of the titan in hand, Kaija, Islode, and Impediment have only a scant few hours before their plot is discovered. They need to skip town and fast. However, Reed has other plans.
Reed endangers the party. Kaija tracks. Isolde takes an unexpected nap.

The real world needs real heroes, right now. A would-be autocrat has taken the seat of power in America, and we need to resist him. Please head to the ACLU website and take action to preserve our nation and its people. https://www.aclu.org/action
Kaija, Islode, and Impediment have done the impossible. The Greenbark gang is saved. The hidden titan of Harrasreika is shattered. In completing their quest, our heroes have grown in their abilities.
Let’s see what they have learned. And let’s see what new dangers await them.

Yesterday, my father joined a chorus of voices from across the nation to tell me that I cannot have access to healthcare, who of my friends…
When we left our heroes, Isolde and Kaija had just shattered the titan of Harrasreika in the hidden underground cavern within the mott. The lights have snuffed out, and creatures skulk and snarl in the darkness. Reed has tumbled down down down into the pit beneath the arena. Her vision swims into darkness as terrible, glowing tiger-sized worms crawl to devour her.
Who will live and who will die when the titan shatters at Harrasreika?
