Magic Folk

In the second half of our third character discussion, the team tackles listener questions from Twitter! We also go into more detail about everything that’s happened since the end of the desert arc and through the Sjondal arc. [Content Warning: discussions of death, anxiety, loss, depression, fear and other adult themes throughout] 

After a wild night, it’s time to take Loke to the castle to find a cure for his lycanthropy. This Duke seems a little strange, though. What am I saying, this whole situation is strange. Special thanks to you, the listeners, for your contribution to this episode![Content Warning: This episode contains a loud unexpected scream (00:02:20), mention of vomitting (00:03:33-00:04:27, 00:35:28-00:36:09), Public Nudity (00:09:00), a joke about cannibalism (00:10:05), familial death (00:55:27), mentions of kink (00:35:20), analingus (00:35:20), and masturbation (1:00:00 - 1:00:55)]

So, Loke is a werewolf. That explains a lot. But how will the Rowdy Party stop him from going on a rampage and wrecking the city of Balen? Maybe they should consult with a supernatural expert. Or, maybe they’ll just get his goat.[Content Warning: This episode contains mentions of vomiting (00:01:07, 00:27:45, 00:33:20,00:34:47,00:36:03,00:46:38, 00:47:25) kink (00:09:39, 00:18:46), guns being wielded but not fired (throughout), drunkenness (throughout), and animal blood (00:53:47).

After receiving Ödlen’s startling news, the Rowdy Party must decide what their next course of action will be. But with so much in the world that needs to be fixed, is there a right choice? Get ready for sick stunts, running on rooftops, and a blazing good time![Content Warning: This episode contains mildly graphic descriptions of zombies and zombie noises (00:23:08 - end), glass shattering sound effect (00:25:39), angry cat sound effect (00:25:40), cat meowing sound effect (00:25:40), chase scenes (00:25:40 - end), head trauma (00:30:24 - 00:30:49), tweeting birds sound effect (00:30:42 - 00:30:44), description of an exploding zombie in which limbs are severed (00:34:30 - 00:34:58), references to marijuana (00:43:46 - end), body horror, gore, and magical heart trauma (00:50:31 - 00:51:13), sexual references (00:50:13, 00:50:36, 00:50:45, 01:02:53), mention of vore (00:50:50)]Additional sound effects from https://www.zapsplat.com

With no signs of doppelgängers or haunting images from the past, the Rowdy Party can finally focus on why they came to Sjondal in the first place. The final confrontation draws nearer everyday, and the team is more rattled than ever. This feeling of hopelessness has become all too familiar.[Content Warning: This episode contains alcohol consumption (00:05:26, 00:10:12-00:10:55, death (00:23:36 - 00:23:53, 00:49:45 - end), a mummified corpse (00:30:50 - 00:42:45), smells of decay (00:30:50 - 00:42:45), mention of barfing (00:30:50 - 00:42:45), and sexual innuendos (00:40:40 - 00:41:12)]

The folks of Magic Folk sit down for another discussion about the adventure so far! The first half of our discussion takes us from the end of the Quekkia arc and through the desert arc. Stay tuned for part two![Content Warning: discussions of death, anxiety, loss, depression, fear and other adult themes throughout]

Strange things are happening throughout the land, and the Rowdy Party is desperately needed back in Daegshelm. Bernan gets sucked into a new problem unfolding in Sjondal, while Olaf helps Sindre and Kiss make some headway in escaping the cabin. Will the whole team ever be reunited again?[Content Warning: This episode contains body horror including animated severed heads and corpses (throughout), mentions of kidnapping, endangered children, and discussion of infant death (throughout), alcohol consumption (00:24:35 - 00:24:42), simulated spit (00:31:08 - 00:31:33), blood and broken bones (00:58:42 - 00:59:01).]

A relaxing morning is in order after such a spooky night in the woods. Once the Rowdy Party is back together, maybe they can calmly piece together everything that’s going on. It’s a good strategy in theory, but only if they can take a step back and fill in the gaps of their memories.[Content Warning: This episode contains body horror (00:00:57), blood (00:02:02, 00:03:43, 00:04:00) references to foot fetish (00:22:54 00:25:12), doppelgangers (throughout), decapitation (00:31:09 - 00:31:43), references to sexual contact (00:35:35 - 00:36:25, 00:41:40), reference to a dead animals (00:58:38), void based cosmic terror (00:56:17 - end), surreal imagery (throughout), and Sound fx including outdoor ambiance (00:25:05 - 00:26:38), doors creaking (00:25:17 - 00:25:32), glass breaking (00:26:07 - 00:26:10), splashing & ocean noises  (00:43:27 - 00:50:15), ringing (00:55:29 - 00:55:52), and loud empty space (00:56:17 - end)]

Bernan tries to retrace his steps while Kiss and Sindre- you know what? No. Every now and then, there’s an episode that’s just too weird to describe in a whimsical way. This is one of those episodes. This wild night out in Sjondal is just getting started![Content Warning: This episode contains references to hookups (00:02:40), gore (00:03:12), sexual innuendos (00:14:58, 00:31:10), harm done by (00:00:45, 00:03:09), and to animals (00:00:17), alcohol consumption (throughout) body horror (throughout), and surreal events (throughout). Sound fx throughout include outdoor ambiance, rustling, snaps, pops, fire, boiling, fluid dripping, inflating, dust falling, and clocks ticking.]

Hilde treats the boys to a night on the town with a visit to Sjondal’s infamous tavern. There’s drinking, snacks, cuties, and even talk of monsters and other supernatural things. Better be careful, Rowdy Party! There are eyes and ears everywhere.

With the immediate threat of the doppelgänger gone, it’s time to finally meet the Svansens and start investigating this strange intruder. But just when it looks like one puzzle is closer to being solved, another one comes out of no where. Can’t the Rowdy Party enjoy a nice meal?[Content Warning: This episode contains satirical use of ableist slurs by a neurodivergent player (00:01:46 - 00:02:12), mentions of real world depression (00:02:48 - 00:02:58), mentions of animal murder (00:06:11), mentions of barfing (00:08:11-00:08:23, 00:35:07), sexual innuendos (00:24:45 - 00:25:26, 00:53:20), hunting (00:29:16 - 00:29:44), spooky whispery sound effects (00:41:27 - 00:43:24)]

The Rowdy Party, or most of them at least, survives the blizzard and finally arrives in Sjondal. This secluded village appears peaceful and quiet, but things aren’t always what they sneam.[Content Warning: This episode contains mentions of trauma (00:01:38 - 00:01:48), mentions of alcohol consumption (00:00:20 and 00:04:37 - 00:04:47), depictions of animal death (00:05:50 - 00:07:05), and an allusion to BDSM.(00:21:37 - 00:21:41)]

A feeling of desolation has spread across the land while the Rowdy Party’s enemies have been hard at work. Everyone should make sure that they don’t have any unfinished business before preparing for the final confrontation with the big bad. Let’s hope no one gets cold feet.[Content Warning: This episode contains mentions of defacation (00:02:08 - 00:02:22), sexual  innuendos (00:10:15, 00:24:17, 00:41:41 - 00:41:58, 00:46:37 - 00:47:01), mentions of animal death and familial death (from 00:18:55 throughout to 00:30:59), mention of infanticide (00:20:45 - 00:20:52) descriptions of animal in distress (00:42:06 - throughout to end), mention of uncanny valley (specifically the CATS movie from 00:43:38 - 00:43:57), blood (00:54:00)]

Now that Bernan has successfully opened a portal, the team can head to- wait, where is this? This doesn’t seem right. The Rowdy Party was supposed to be getting away from the weird stuff, not jumping headlong into more weird stuff! There’s probably a scientific explanation.[Content warnings: This episode contains descriptions of blood and gore throughout (starting at 00:05:00), mention of animal slaughter throughout (starting at 00:05:00), spontaneous animal combustion mention (00:51:41 - 00:53:33), mention of forcible sedation (00:19:54), medical examination (00:30:40 and 00:49:06), alcohol consumption (00:38:09 - 00:40:55 and 00:53:33 - end), drunkenness  (00:53:33 - end), depression (00:54:33, 00:58:42, 00:59:09 - end) and mention of vomit (01:04:39)]

Kyle has provided the description of this episode! It is his, “least favorite.” He also notes that, “We’ve spent, I think, most of the episode talking about the goop.” Doesn’t that sound fun? Maybe eat your breakfast after listening to this one…[Content warnings: Body horror throughout (pudding references & descriptions), mentions of vomiting (00:06:16, 00:09:03 - 00:09:21) discussions of death and the afterlife (00:18:06 - 00:22:56) ]

The rooftop creature has been defeated, but it looks like the battle has just begun. The Rowdy Party is severely wounded, Freyja is no where to be seen, and there are still thousands of enemies on the horizon. Anne seems to have an escape plan, but will everyone get on board? Don’t get deserted![Content warnings: Descriptions of gunfire in intro, impalement at 00:08:15, cosmic horror at 00:28:35, mentions of death at 00:34:18, 00:44:18 and throughout, body horror including spitting blood (00:18:42) and pudding flesh (00:46:07) and a brief mention of vore (00:51:35)]

The Rowdy Party has magical guns. Yep. That’s a thing. Do they know how to use them? Absolutely not. Does it show? A little bit, yeah. It’s a showdown in the desert![Content warnings: Descriptions of gunfire throughout. Mention of genitalia at 00:30:00, Penetration euphemism at 00:33:11, impalement at 00:35:04, Internal bodily injury at 00:41:35]

There’s a monster on the loose and it’s ready to fight! Someone needs to figure out how to defeat it, or at least fend it off. It’s SAFE to say that the Rowdy Party might be in over their heads this time. Bear with us.[Content warnings: mention of seductive actions around 00:06:30, 00:07:20, 00:08:46, 00:10:31. Very mild body horror around 00:37:48 and 00:38:23. Moments of tension/horror throughout]

Things are getting strange as everyone waits for their royal rescue. Kiss searches for answers on Conan’s buggy behavior while Sindre and Odlen scheme. Bernan finally gets to sit down and read, but that’s hard to do in the dark. Looks like the Rowdy Party isn’t alone.[Content warnings: Body horror from 00:06:32 to 00:06:56 and uncanny valley body horror from 00:27:21 to 00:27:35, claustrophobia from 00:25:42 to 00:26:14, direct mention of genitals at 00:27:40, euphemistic mention of oral sex at 00:46:21, magical gun fire sound effects 00:51:32 and 00:51:42, with moments of immense tension at 00:16:11, 00:19:20, 00:28:29, 00:41:00, 00:50:24, and 00:52:00]
