Dead Jester Productions Podcast

Episode 222 With Jordan Miller - Satori, Predicting the Future, and Soggy Subway Tomatoes

The Heroes find a place to sit down and prepare to wait until the beginning of the events. A gruff looking warrior gave an uncertain look of worry as the Jester sits down beside him with a wide grin. When they had entered, the Heroes were simply newcomers to the space. Now that a moment had passed, they felt the eyes of everyone upon them. They were an odd bunch, to be sure.
They looked around at the many faces around them, aware that they were now the center of attention. They could feel the ire of the many combatants they were looking to show them defeat in the games to come. The Swordsman Hero happily pulled out a small piece of bread and began to snack on it, causing a number of the individuals around to stare with anger in their eyes. The Woman casually checked her arrow reserves, with the Jester simply smiling at those around. The Heroes had made enemies with everyone around.

Episode 221 With Quinn Que - Script Writing, AI Writing, and Weird Business Decisions

Walking through the back entrance, the Heroes pretended to act surprised as they saw familiar individuals and creatures. Their previous escapade into the arena had already prepared them for what awaited them in this area, though they had never been able to get a clear picture of what trials would await them in the main arena. They continued forward, making their way back to the hallway leading out into the arena's battlefield. Rounding the corner, they were somewhat surprised to see about 50 other combatants.
The other combatants ranged from young to old, large to small. Some were big, bulky individuals wielding large axes and spears, while others were smaller, more frail-looking fighters with short swords and shields. Some shivered in fear, trying to hide their nervousness. Others glanced around eagerly, clearly waiting for the opportunity to leap into battle. The Heroes could surmise that some of the more nervous combatants were likely forced into the event at the behest of their lords, and would most likely do all they could to avoid actual combat.

Episode 220 - Podcast Ending, Videography, and Doing What Makes You Happy

The Heroes force their way through the crowd and up to an entrance of the arena. They are stopped by a guard, clearly agitated at having been put on duty on such a frantic day. They ask him how they can get in as combatants, and he directs them around to a different entrance. They turn to make their way there and are greeted by a screaming hoard of excited onlookers attempting to force their way into the arena. The Heroes eventually find their way out of the crowd and make their way around the perimeter of the arena.
After a short walk, the crowd begins to thin out and they can walk comfortably. Continuing on, they eventually reach a solitary guard sitting against the wall of the arena. He looks up as the Heroes approach, begrudgingly rising to his feet. They tell him they are looking to enter the arena as combatant, and ask why there are so few people on this side of the arena. He responds by informing them that this entrance leads directly into the holding area for the combatants and creatures underneath the arena, so most people avoid attempting to sneak in past such dangerous individuals. The Heroes are not deterred, and make their way in.

Episode 219 With Comedy Genius Ronny Pascale - Getting into Comedy, Bad Jokes, and Winning a Crowd

Finishing their meal, the Heroes thanked the barkeep and stepped outside. The crowd continued to grow rapidly, flowing like a strong tide through the city streets. The Heroes are pulled into the throng of people, unable to work their way across the street. They continued being pulled along, unsure of what would happen to them at the end of the stream of vendors, warriors, and nobles alike.
After a few minutes they were dumped out into a large courtyard. Regrouping, they looked around to get their bearings and discovered they had ended up in front of the arena. The crowd flowed up to the entrances of the arena, fighting to be the first in line. The unfortunate guards stationed at the entrances did everything they could to maintain order amongst the rowdy crowd.

Episode 218 With B and Maceo of the Super B Podcast - Cancelled Batman Movie, Video Game Movies, and Cancelled TV Shows

Knowing they would need their rest, the Heroes turned in for the night. With the sound of the city rabble just outside of their windows, the Heroes found it difficult to fall asleep. Having grown used to camping on the road, they had experienced more difficulties in the city. The growing number of people arriving in the city due to the tournament wasn't doing them any favors either.
The Heroes awoke in a groggy stupor, annoyed at the noise throughout the night. They slowly made their way downstairs into the pub area, delighted to receive a warm meal. Peering out through the window on the front of the inn, they could see a throng of people already making their way through the city. Individuals that had enjoyed a bit too much fun the previous night lay unconscious on the ground against nearby pubs and scattered throughout the road.

Episode 217 With John Lumgair - Being an Animator, Winning Awards, and Jazz Cow

The Heroes make their way back to the Inn they were staying in, eager to rest for the evening before continuing their preparations for the upcoming tournament. As they weave their way back through the winding streets they feel a buzz throughout the city. With the start of the tournament quickly approaching, everybody was busy preparing. Vendors would look to make a fortune, combatants would hope to make a name for themselves in the fighting, and the lords would want to take advantage of both.
Eventually arriving back at the Inn, the Heroes settle in to their rooms. They sit down and begin to review the information they were able to collect from both beneath the arena and in the main fighting pit. The creatures and people kept in the cages below led them to believe that there would be multiple battles happening, some involving individual fighters, and some against the monsters. It would be an interesting contest.

Episode 216 With Kloss - Annoying People, Bad Business Owners, and Custom D&D Campaigns

With the young guard having finally calmed down, the Heroes assured him that they would allow him to be free if he agreed to let them leave without fuss. He agreed, and so the Jester undid his magic. The Swordsman Hero helped the young guard out of the mud and to his feet, with the ground solidifying behind him. He dusted himself off and looked back to the Heroes, clearly still concerned that they had other plans for him.
The Heroes decided it wouldn't do them any good to continue causing trouble, and so they made their way to an exit. Walking back outside, they calmly greeted the guard standing nearby. He acknowledged them before glancing back in surprise, unsure of how they had come from inside of the arena. The Heroes gave no impression they had done anything wrong, and simply continued back into the city.

Episode 215 With Dave from Echoplex Media - Cults, Online Conspiracy Groups, and Fake News

With the young guard racing towards them, the Heroes quickly decide what to do. The Jester whispered a few words to himself before placing his hands upon the ground. As the young guard ran, the dirt before him began to bulge and he fell into a murky pool of mud. As quickly as the ground had become soft, it hardened back up and held the young guard in place tightly.
The young guard panicked, flailing his arms around wildly as he realized he couldn't move. The Heroes approached him, looking down at him as fear flooded his face. The Swordsman Hero calmly explained to him that they didn't want to hurt him, though they couldn't have him causing them any problems. He began to relax a slight amount before remembering that he had been trapped halfway submerged into the ground.
