On the northern beaches of Reclaffe, a domed temple rises from the sand like a watchful eye quiet, sealed, and hiding more than prayer within its walls.Flint, Vargyr, and Oodagh infiltrate the structure under the cover of shadow, hoping for answers about the growing cult presence.

Temptations are offered. Lines are crossed. And belief itself becomes a battlefield.On the northern shores of the Empire shadows rise, loyalties strain, and unseen forces stir beyond mortal sight, one question echoes through the chamber:What are you willing to give up… to save the ones you love?Guest:Spankarious the Unwashed - Charles Spank (Tier 2 Patron Reward)Cast:Judah the host and Dungeon MasterHeroes:Cody – VargyrCharles – Flint StonewallFollow Us:Instagram - roll_for_rivalsLinktree - linktr.ee/roll_for_rivalsSupport Us:Patreon - https://patreon.com/diceclashchroniclesMerchandise:Etsy - https://www.etsy.com/shop/DiceClashChroniclesLinks and Resources:Editor(s): Judah Lagg, Dustin HebertPlatform: Riverside.fmApps and Resources: Audacity, Artlist.io Hosted on Acast.
