Intelligence Check is an actual play series that's big on the laughs. It's a light-hearted show, using D&D 5e rules, set in the homebrew world of the Lichstone Empire. We've got dark and mysterious backgrounds, defensive elephants, weird gambling, oddly specific kobold slaughter, and tentacles. Way too many tentacles.

Episode 94- Toadally Awesome

Wednesday Feb 24, 2021

With the magical tower and it's various floors conquered, our party has safely retrieved Namee's father. Okay, that's not totally true, there was some burning. And Nock got turned into a chicken. But it was fine! And now our party is set on finding the source of the mysterious illness that afflicts the gnomes. With a hot tip from a fast talker they are on their way to the location of the traveling magical purveyor Doctor Traintorker with hopes he'll be able to assist them further.

After a bit of a hike they locate Doctor Traintorker's massive wagon and... Chosen protect us! That's a gigantic horse! Forget finding the source of the disease. It's time to befriend this radiant creature! Thankfully Violexx can make apples on demand. Surely this big beauty will respond well to some good old crapples!

Anyway, it turns out the Doctor has also contracted the disease. But he knows where they need to go if they hope to cure everyone. So once again our adventurers are off under the direction of someone they really don't know, without asking nearly enough questions. Weren't we just talking about this in the last episode's description? Seriously, how are these people entrusted with such grave matters? It seems when times are tough you just have to work with the tools you have. But we're not calling the party tools. Okay, maybe we are.

This week's episode features a promo that has a fun banjo from the podcast Shrimp & Crits!

Episode 93- Picock

Wednesday Feb 10, 2021

Our adventurers have made their way out of the dwarven ruins after a very close call with a creature that probably could have killed them with a look. Thankfully the party can turn on the charm when needed! It seems they were rather hasty in believing the djinn and taking this dangerous journey in the first place. But really, they are basing this on the word of another potential enemy that they immediately believed! It's starting to look like they'll just accept as truth whatever they were told by the last person they spoke with. This is how people end up with unwanted timeshares.

With essentially nothing to show for their efforts except that they added a halfling to the party and they got some magic items, they head back to Namee's hometown where they are met by Namee's mother and word of his father's health. Namee dashes off to check on his dad while the rest of the gang brings mom along with them. It's a Wizzlefizzle family reunion! Just as soon as they work their way to the top of the tower where dear old dad is. And it's a magical tower. Those always go so well for this group!

How many bad puns will we get out of this situation? Who gives themselves a nickname? Who's going to give Violexx an earful? And what has Nock's feathers all ruffled? Things are about to get very clucked up!

Episode 92- Cave Check

Wednesday Jan 27, 2021

Having defeated a menacing duo of skeletal guards, our adventurers find themselves before a giant set of ominous doors. Doors that clearly block the way that they want to go to achieve their goal. But going in that direction would be much too direct for this team! Especially when there's so much yet to explore! And after finding Nock's amazing new sword in one of the very first areas they entered, you'd better believe the party's going to explore all of it. Because if there's one thing that will always override whatever other objective an adventuring party may have, it's the lust for magic items.

What mysteries lie buried in the ruins? What delightful objects will they discover? Have you ever considered what the day to day life of a dwarven customs agent would be like? Also is anyone else starting to think rangers maybe have to roll too much for their attacks? Someone get Shep a dice app because undead surprises await!

Episode 91- Nocked Around

Wednesday Jan 13, 2021

Having stumbled into the dwarven ruins in the desert, our team has begun their search for the magical lamp controlling the djinn that is laying waste to the land. During the exploration, they come across an enchanted sword that has quite a way with words. Bonding with Nock, the sword is about to show our party just what it can do as they come across some shambling skeletons. Here's a hint, it's awesome!

Finally, the full team has a chance to see how well they meld into a cohesive fighting unit. Here's another hint: it could use some improvement! It turns out their newest member needs just a bit more practice with area attacks. We're sure he'll pick up on it quickly and everything will be fine down the road! What aerial maneuvers can Namee pull out when he actually has to fight? How does Blag shred skeletons? And just how badass are grave clerics? Very badass.

Episode 90- Sing Song Sword

Wednesday Dec 30, 2020

Our team came upon a town that was a wreck. Pushing through the place Nock had some very bad skill checks. Surviving his traps they met a halfing scout named Shep and his wolf that looked hardy. Having similar goals to stop the magical desert they decided to join the party. So off they all went to find the dwarven ruins. Because the djinn's lamp there is the solution they are pursuing.

But it turns out finding this place is a difficult goal, until Violexx stumbles into a great big hole. There's streets and homes, full of dust and bone. It does seem she's stumbled into the right zone. But these skeletons've got hands that are grabby. While Nock and Shep stand up high being gabby. Turns out we're going to need a knowledge infusion to deal with major anatomy confusion.

Will the team fight? Will they go up, down, left or right? Will they find a treasure that's sublime? Will Mke commit a heinous word crime? What situation will Nock find that is trying? Because it turns out Kyle is much better at rhyming!
