While the Nearlies fought to save the people of Thistleberry Hollow, another group of heroes were just setting out to join the effort to recover from the Glorious attack. Retired heroes from Faritall's past are summoned to the Sacred Temple of Inns and Taverns just in time to uncover a plot by the Crimson Cavaliers to attack the Sacred Tavern, and the would-be heroes gathered there! Thankfully Hurdy Spweedow, Billins Knothole, H.A.L., and The Barricade are no strangers to battle!Creative Commons Music Credits:Scott Buckley - Clarion https://www.scottbuckley.com.au/library/clarion/Scott Buckley - Felicity https://www.scottbuckley.com.au/library/felicity/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/could-ve-been-heroes--6153884/support.Website:https://farandtalltales.squarespace.com/Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/farandtalltalesMerch:https://tee.pub/lic/HHtZ-9LgjAA

The Nearlies trek along The One Way Road continues to put the “random” in “random encounters”. Around the edge of the idyllic landscapes darkness stirs and bad folk have begun to notice the Heroes absence and the resulting power vacuum.

The Nearlies push their luck with some deadly magical flora and are witness to (and are almost crushed beneath) a once in a century migration, come too early as The Glorious attack makes refugees out of some of Faritall’s largest residents.Creative Commons Music Credits:John Vallis - Soliloquy https://soundcloud.com/john-vallis/soliloquyWhatfunk - Into the Dark https://soundcloud.com/whatfunk/into-the-darkWhatfunk - Fractals II https://soundcloud.com/whatfunk/fractals-iiWhatfunk - The Earth Rumbles https://soundcloud.com/whatfunk/the-earth-rumblesWhatfunk - Leaving Earth https://soundcloud.com/whatfunk/leaving-earthMusic published under the Creative Commons license is an invaluable resource for independent content creators such as ourselves.

The Nearlies, having turned a potential flattening into a friendly chat, move into the last leg of their trip down the legendary One Way Road.

Who wants to be a Hero? What’s it really take to be one? Just enough patience to wait in an epic line apparently. In the wake of The Near Miss, which no one gathered at the Sacred Temple of Inns and Taverns seems to even be aware of, an open call for Heroes has gone out, and the would-be adventurers have come in droves, encircling the Tavern in mile long lines that the Nearlies decide to patiently wait their turn in… yeah just kidding, they decide to bust through whatever it takes and as they size the place up, spot a very unlikely Hero applicant in a bit of distress…Creative Commons Music Credits:Scott Buckley - Vengeance https://www.scottbuckley.com.au/library/vengeance/Arcane Anthems - The Wild Mother Guides https://www.patreon.com/arcaneanthemsScott Buckley - Mr Lonogan https://www.scottbuckley.com.au/library/mr-lonogan/Arcane Anthems - 22 to Hit https://www.patreon.com/arcaneanthemsWhatfunk - Relax https://soundcloud.com/whatfunk/relaxScott Buckley - Clarion https://soundcloud.com/scottbuckley/clarion-cc-byScott Buckley - Midsommar https://www.scottbuckley.com.au/library/midsommar/Music published under the Creative Commons license is an invaluable resource for independent content creators such as ourselves.

This weeks episode is all about wandering around outside and trying to get inside. The Nearlies find a very interesting looking tree that a wizard is probably living in, that they would also very much like to get into for reasons of curiosity (and possible larceny, Val we are looking at you.) But to get there, having burned some bridges with the line of aspiring heroes, they find themselves needing to cross through a second line of heroes… each a lone wolf, each wearing black, each with a long, tragic, and kind of self indulgent, but undeniably badass back story that they would love to tell you all about. Gwendylyn Evangaline Cloot might become Gothdylyn of the Black Parade, take a listen and see if we can get her back.Creative Commons Music Credits:John Vallis - Lady in the Lake https://soundcloud.com/john-vallis/lady-in-the-lakeJohn Vallis - Watercolour https://soundcloud.com/john-vallis/watercolourArcane Anthems - Solemn Rest https://www.patreon.com/arcaneanthemsArcane Anthems - Derelict Gods https://www.patreon.com/arcaneanthemsArcane Anthems - Death March of the Under King https://www.patreon.com/arcaneanthemsArcane Anthems - The Wild Mother Guides https://www.patreon.com/arcaneanthemsWhatfunk - Skeleton Dance https://soundcloud.com/whatfunk/skeleton-danceWhatfunk - Hidden in Plain Sight Pt.

The Nearlies finally set down, after what feels like at least 7 weeks of talking and doing things, for a well deserved rest. They take the time, now that they have a moment to themselves, to divulge, reminisce, confide, disclose and withhold. An adopted troll makes an excellent pillow, Gwen and Lavaleen go off for a midnight side quest (soon on Patreon) and Val dreams a jarring dream after learning some unsettling secrets about the cloak fused to her neck. Come morning it is high time to cut the line and break into the Sacred Temple of Inns and Taverns, get their Hero Badges and some answers.

Having obtained entrance to the Sacred Temple of Inn’s and Taverns, a mystically attuned and carefully calibrated launching pad for heroic adventurers, the Nearlies find themselves essentially inside a massive enchanted object. Every table, chair and stein magically crafted to maximize the likelihood of a group of adventurers forming and hurling off to heroic endeavor… including, shockingly, mental enchantment and chemical manipulation. Listen as the group explores the Inn’s wondrous nooks and crannies and uncovers its secrets, while elsewhere others uncover secrets belonging to Xenator Brisbane, the Doom of Abernathy.Creative Commons Music Credits:Scott Buckley - Anna’s Theme https://www.scottbuckley.com.au/library/annas-theme/Arcane Anthems - You Arrive at a Tavern https://www.patreon.com/arcaneanthemsWhatfunk - Something is Following Us https://soundcloud.com/whatfunk/something-is-following-us Scott Buckley - Jul https://www.scottbuckley.com.au/library/jul/Scott Buckley - The Summoning https://www.scottbuckley.com.au/library/the-summoning/Music published under the Creative Commons license is an invaluable resource for independent content creators such as ourselves.
