Delta Green: Ep5 “Hope and Prey”

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains strong language and dark themes, including references to violence involving children, graphic crime scenes, and ritualistic murder. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

The investigation in Yuma continues, and the deeper the team dig, the worse things become.

As concern grows over the disappearance of Lucy’s daughter, Hope, the agents begin tracing old connections back to the long-abandoned naval medical annex. Interviews with retired workers uncover fragments of unsettling information… though unfortunately, an alarming amount of it relates to ageing digestive systems and bowel movements.

Still, among the confusion and oversharing, the team begin piecing together a clearer picture of what may have happened.

And where Hope may have been taken.

Trading their battered sedan for a military Humvee proves to be one of the few competent decisions made so far, as the agents head out across the desert following a chilling phone call that points them toward the dead town of Mustang.

A place long abandoned.

Or so it should be.

Because when the team arrive, something feels wrong immediately. The streets are almost quiet. Many buildings stand empty. And beneath the silence, something unseen waits in the dark corners of the town.

Particularly at the old cinema.

Justin attempts to charm a nurse, Ross finally loses patience with the Handler, and Jo may have lost Hope entirely.

The truth is getting closer.

And it’s getting darker.

Delta Green: Ep4 “Urine Trouble Now”

The investigation into the Abril family massacre deepens.

Under their FBI cover identities, the team continue pulling at the tangled threads surrounding the brutal killings in Yuma. Witnesses are questioned, timelines examined, and stories compared—but every answer seems only to raise further questions.

A priest offers uneasy insight. Construction workers speak of strange events. A postman recalls things that no longer seem insignificant. And an interview with a local masseuse briefly threatens to derail the professionalism of the entire operation.

As the case widens, attention turns toward an abandoned military annex on the edge of town. Inside, the team uncover traces of something unsettling—evidence of experiments, hidden research, and secrets that were never meant to leave the building.

A trip to the library begins connecting the pieces.

Slowly, an impossible picture starts to emerge.

Ross refuses to be touched by God, Jo makes an important phone call, and Justin finds himself collecting urine in the name of federal investigation.

Because in Delta Green, every lead matters.

Even the strange ones.

Deadlands: The Devil’s Due, Ep9 “Out of Service”

The trail offers no relief for the posse—especially not for Harry.

Still grappling with the consequences of some deeply questionable frontier medicine, he turns to Red for help removing the problem… a decision that proves just as painful as it sounds.

Elsewhere, fortune briefly smiles on the group as Ruby uncovers something far more useful: dynamite.

And in the right hands—or in Philippe’s hands—that quickly becomes a solution to many problems.

At least, for a moment.

Because the nightmares that have plagued the posse finally reveal their source.

To’Sarre.

The warrior who has stalked them since Sutter’s Flats steps out of the shadows—and he hasn’t come alone.

The night erupts into chaos.

Bats swarm. Crows descend. Figures emerge from the darkness in numbers the posse can’t hope to match. What follows is a brutal, desperate fight for survival against an enemy that knows them… and has been waiting.

Plans unravel. Lines are drawn. And when the dust settles, not everyone may still be standing.

As for Harry…

He may not be overly concerned who isn’t.

Deadlands: The Devil’s Due, Ep8 “The Bramble Gamble”

The trail pushes on as the posse drive the herd across the Canadian River… an ordeal that proves far more hands-on than anyone would like.

Especially Amos.

Faced with stubborn cattle and dwindling patience, he takes matters into his own hands—literally—earning both results and a reputation he may never outrun.

But that’s only the beginning.

When Harry finds himself dealing with a rather urgent personal issue, Amos and Philippe step in with a solution that is equal parts inventive and deeply regrettable. What follows is a piece of frontier medicine that will not soon be forgotten… or forgiven.

Harry certainly won’t forget it.

And he definitely won’t forgive it.

As the journey continues, the tone darkens. The land itself seems to press in, and rest becomes a luxury the posse can’t quite grasp. Sleep brings no comfort—only vivid, relentless night terrors that claw at each of them in turn.

Visions of fear. Guilt. Things buried deep.

Something is watching.

Something is reaching into their minds.

And whatever it is… this is only the beginning.

Adventures in Middle Earth: Ep15 “Doggy Style”

The road to Beorn’s house takes an unexpected turn when the party stumble across an abandoned boat drifting in uneasy silence.

Inside, they find two bodies.

Men of Beorn.

And across the bank… the orcs they themselves had slain.

What happened here—and who the fallen men were transporting—remains a troubling mystery. But for once, the Guild make a unified decision: the dead will be returned home.

What follows is a feat of ingenuity that absolutely no one saw coming.

The Lonely constructs a makeshift toboggan from the wreckage, hauling the fallen across the wilds in a display that is equal parts impressive and deeply impractical.

And somehow… it works.

Arriving at Beorn’s hall, the tone shifts. Honour is paid. A great feast is held. Mead flows freely, stories are shared, and for a brief moment, the weight of the road lifts.

Naturally, this doesn’t last.

Bungo turns his attention to the rough-looking waitresses, The Lonely embraces the mead a little too enthusiastically—and may reveal more than intended—while Haldir quietly considers the unanswered questions surrounding the dead men.

And Aramil… thinks about rope.

Morning comes with heavy heads, dry mouths, and a request from Beorn himself.

The journey continues.

Adventures in Middle Earth: Ep14 “Rabbiting On”

The road leads back to the Easterly Inn as the party safely return Dindy—slightly worse for wear, but intact.

With familiar surroundings comes a brief moment of calm… quickly undone by Bungo, who sees an opportunity and immediately attempts to negotiate a protection deal with all the confidence of a man who has absolutely no leverage.

What follows is, naturally, a challenge.

A hunting competition.

Bungo versus The Lonely.

Simple rules. Clean stakes. And one very important clarification: butterflies do not count.

With pride now firmly on the line, The Lonely commits fully—perhaps more than necessary—determined to prove once and for all that he is, in fact, the superior hunter.

Meanwhile, Haldir offers a reminder that greater things are at play. That destiny waits. That the road ahead leads far beyond quiet inns and petty contests.

The message is clear, The Lonely is meant for more.

He takes this onboard. Briefly.

Elsewhere, Aramil spots some birds.

Delta Green: Ep3 “Where Dagon?”

The Guild step deeper into the world of Delta Green.

Under FBI cover, Mark leads the team into Yuma to investigate the brutal killing of a young marine, his fiancée, and her family—six victims in total. What initially appears to be a horrific tragedy quickly reveals signs of something far more deliberate.

And far more disturbing.

Their first stop is the local detective, where fragments of the case begin to take shape. But it’s not until the team reaches the crime scene that the true nature of the killings becomes clear.

This wasn’t random.

There are patterns. Indications of ritual. Evidence that suggests whoever—or whatever—was responsible had purpose.

As they begin to piece together what happened, the line between investigation and something far darker starts to blur.

Expect blood, missteps, and the kind of decisions that make a bad situation worse.

Because this story is only just beginning.

D&D 5e: Sniff Around, Ep6 “A Dish Best Served Gold”

Still deep within the cave, the Guild attempt to regain control of a situation that already got well out of hand.

With the creatures dealt with (somehow), a new opportunity presents itself—a deal with a mysterious druid who knows far more about Gallowmere than anyone has let on. Secrets begin to surface, threads start to connect… and naturally, a puzzle blocks the way forward.

Which is where things take an unexpected turn.

Because against all odds, Darvin steps up—and solves it.

Not through careful thought. Not through logic. But through what can only be described as baffling, unstoppable luck.

Armed with new information and a growing sense that something in Gallowmere is deeply wrong, the party return to settle matters with the blacksmith… only for negotiations to deteriorate into a tense standoff.

And then things get worse.

Marta is gone.

Kidnapped.

What follows is less a rescue mission and more a full-force retaliation. With another obstacle in their path—and Darvin once again somehow the key to solving it—the Guild descend upon the Tannery in a storm of steel, shouting, and very questionable decision-making.

Blood is spilled. Scores are settled.

But in the chaos, one question remains:

Will they reach Marta in time…

and more importantly—will Darvin finally get his lunch?
