Last time on the Bestow Curse podcast, our heroes fought off hordes of gargoyles and dispatched the final tether of Castle Scarwall under a blanket of oppressive silence.

Last time on the Bestow Curse podcast, our heroes reentered Castle Scarwall to fight the last tether currently resides at the top of the main tower. After an encounter with two velstracs, the party advanced across a causeway where the pressure of a silence spell, a trapped doorway, and hordes of gargoyles hastened their advance considerably. Will our heroes stand and fight in silence or will they rush to the next encounter against a velstrac heretic? The cursed campaign continues now!

Last time on the Bestow Curse podcast, our heroes looted the room once containing their demilich foe and left Castle Scarwall to rest before their encounter with the next tether. After receiving fleeting messages from the living sword Cirithial and an ominous dream about the rest of the original party, Vek shared his concerns with the rest of the group. With time no longer on their side, will the tethers fall in time to stop the trouble brewing in Korvosa? The cursed campaign continues now!

Last time on the Bestow Curse podcast, our heroes fought a demi-lich which befuddled them with its incredible mastery of the arcane arts. Though the combat was difficult and aMAZEing to some, the party prevailed and another of Mithrodar's pillars has been defeated. Will the final pillar, a mad velstrac, become their doom?

Last time on the Bestow Curse podcast, our heroes pressed forward, reuniting with allies of their companion Laori. The party raced to the third tether, a malicious demilich, and although Vek broke the umbral chains about it, it rose up to attack! Now battling a fearsome undead foe, will the party be able to prevail? The cursed campaign continues now!

Last time on the Bestow Curse podcast, our heroes trekked deeper into Castle Scarwall to find the other two tethers. They engaged an animated statue, fled, and them met a surprising ally in Castrothane's former steed. The flaming horse fiend directed them to their final marks and them bedded down in Bellshallom's former stable. Will the party prevail against the final two minibosses?

Last time on the Bestow Curse podcast, our heroes returned to Castle Scarwall on the back of Belshallom and engaged with the second tether, a flame-skulled skeletal champion named Castothane! His flames stifled by Methusa, the ex-commander of the guard fell to the party's might and they set their sights toward the next challenge. Will the party continue to be able to knock down these minibosses or will the next one spell their doom? The cursed campaign continues now!

Last time on the Bestow Curse podcast, our heroes were able to plunder the dragon Belshallom's horde in exchange for saving his life.

But even with less low-level undead to worry about, will the next lieutenant of the castle spell their doom? The cursed campaign continues now!

Last time on the Bestow Curse podcast, our heroes defeated the umbral dragon Belshallom after a grueling combat. Before his spirit could fully depart and be absorbed by the haunted walls of Scarwall, the party cast breath of Life and a thankful Belshallom revealed all he knew about the other denizens of the castle. Now with treaure to plunder and plans to make, what will the party's next steps be? The cursed campaign continues now!

Last time on the Bestow Curse podcast, our heroes confronted Belshallam, an umbral dragon seemingly chained by Cazovan to do his bidding. Efforts to free the dragon of its enslavement ultimately proved unsuccessful and the dragon once again rears back it's head to deliver another punishing breath attack. Will this wave of void damage extinguish the party's light and lives? The cursed campaign continues now!

Last time on the Bestow Curse podcast, our heroes defeated the Warsworn pile of corpses, cleared their drain, and moved into the next hallway. Thusi identified a haunt and as doom began to fill the corridor, an ancient spirit known as The Shade of Lost Mortality made itself known.

Last time on the Bestow Curse podcast, our new cast of heroes arrived at Castle Scarwall but found it guarded by death watcher orcs. Some quick diplomacy from Vek largely neutralized the situation, but it was Nadri who won the party the opportunity to enter the castle unscathed after defeating their leader in one on one combat.

Last time on the Bestow Curse podcast, our remaining heroes met with the rebel war council and planned their next moves. Sylvie is to lead a team to complete the breaching festival at the Academae while Vek journeys to Castle Scarwall to retrieve Sirithial, the magical sword which felled Kazovan once before. With a new cast of characters rounding out his party and an old friend accompanying him on the journey, does Vek stand any chance of retrieving his ancestral blade and returning to Korvosa a hero?

Last time on the Bestow Curse podcast, Mir and Diego were captured by Kordaitra and her minions while Sylvie and Vek made their escape. Sazzy stayed with the heroes now imprisoned in the Black Cells and through him they were able to get messages to their free party members. Discussions of revolution moved forward outside the prison amidst this humbling defeat but the recent setback presents a challenging timeline. Now with conflicting priorities, a devil giving Sylvie orders, the pull of ancient Castle Scarwall, and the inevitable looming execution of their long time traveling companions, will Sylvie and Vek make the right moves to topple the queen without their long time companions?
