Fate of Daya — The Elusive Answers…

44 min

Salryn (and Jorvin) didn't just sit idle these long weeks. They did everything they could to unpick the mysteries of Vita's plan, the machinations of Alaric Sylwraith and the mysterious 'Lessor' who wrote to the diplomat ... but... with Vita and Alaric dead, the party out of their depth, trapped and under siege... what did they expect? Even when they find clues they lack the knowledge to interpret them... and listening to Salryn and Jorvin flounder around trying to figure out what is signal and what is noise is just bad radio so we made the sensible editorial decision to cut all that out and just give you the few highlights. If you really want to know what is going on with all that Jazz... I guess you are gonna have to keep listening to the rest of No Return :P Content warningsStrong languageViolence, injury and bloodDeath and mortalityCastEpisode Art by Jim Tuohy Gamesmaster provided by Hearthfire Tales Bran — Cameron Gergett @Cameron_Gergett/@JasperZoink Salryn Ilanora — Gemma Maclean-Mair GM/Meh/Karaf — Kier Zhou Pat D Bakr/Sophia — Dylan Smith Support the No Returniverse on Patreon: patreon.com/NoReturnAD · Fan Mail: hello@noreturniverse.co.uk
