Sorry for the long delay friends! We at Tales From The Crit have been dealing with a lot these last few months that has took our focus away from the microphone. Schedules have been messy but we've missed you so we're excited to present a very special intermission episode featuring Tim and I. Tim heads back into the "Pals" world reprising his role as a young boy who is now a little older! On the search for a Mythic level Pal he wakes up after a good night sleep at an old tourist trap. He proves to be a much better adventurer than he was before as he battles, catches, and punches Pals on his way through the forest. Content Warnings: Adult Language, Fantasy Violence
