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 89- Shepard's Hook

Wednesday Dec 16, 2020

Our adventurers have found themselves in an unnatural desert, searching for a way to stop it's rapid spread across the land. Upon meeting its unusual source, a djinn that looks to be wasting away, he tells them that he is causing this destruction as the result of a wish. To put a stop to the destruction, he directs them to a ruin deep in the desert where he says the wish was made. On their way there they come across the ruins of a town that appears to have been besieged. Desperate for a break from the monotony of trudging through the desolation, the party decides to investigate the town.

How much will Nock regret being impatient with the party and pushing onward through the town? And will he regret it even more if he keeps doing it? What sort of grievous injury will Blag suffer by his own hand? Will a simple object he discovers be able to make everything better for him? And just how confused will Violexx get about, well, everything? One thing's for sure, this town is going to be a pain in Nock's ass!

Episode 88- Condescending a Horse

Wednesday Dec 02, 2020

With the tournament complete and the winner crowned it's finally time for our party to venture out of Butt Mountain. However, since one of our adventurers won, they must first deal with the Giant King's pesky decree that the champion cannot leave. We have a feeling Namee can ferret out a way to get around that!

What will the next step be in the party's quest to cure the sickness wracking Namee's home? How awkward will it be when they realize Palino is still there? How hard will the party try to communicate with a horse? And what epic weapon name will our adventurers unearth in their travels? It's time to hit the road and hope it doesn't hit them back!

Episode 87-If I Die I'm Delicious

Wednesday Nov 18, 2020

The final fight has come down to a showdown between Violexx and Namee. Namee goes for a full charm offensive while Violexx grits her teeth and tries to cut him down.

And then, something astounding happens.

A journey unfolds. One that takes us into uncharted territory. That territory? The mindscape of one of our players, laid bare for all. Learn about the inner-workings of their thoughts in dealing with their opponent's wiles. Kayak down the stream that is their consciousness as they come to terms with the situation before them.

How will the rest of the party react to this struggle, both in the ring and in the recording studio? Why would they go out of their way to attack banjo fans? Has Palino been standing there the whole time? And what onslaught will finally break one of the combatants? Put on a swimsuit because we're about to dive into some very deep waters!

Episode 86- Round Two, Also Begin!

Wednesday Nov 04, 2020

The giant fight club has begun! First Blag fought the giant called Bear Tamer. Violexx faced off against a giant with a demon. And Namee entered the ring with a rather nasty giant with a massive crushing weapon. With the rest of the party each securing a win, and very fancy titles, it's Nock's turn to take on a challenger! Which of the giants will he be fighting? Well we'll tell you! Our notes here say he's facing Palino. Huh. That's a very refined name for a giant. No wait, Palino is the angel-like warrior the party saw trouncing four giants when they arrived! Nock is so screwed!

The fight is on! And Palino's Spanish accent is so smooth he's got everyone trying to talk like him. Really, how can Nock stand up to this guy? The charm alone should blow him away. But maybe Nock has a trick up his sleeve. Yeah, yeah, he doesn't have sleeves in his description. It's an expression! Palino would have just let that slide. He's wonderful like that. And so handsome. I wonder what he's doing after he kicks Nock's butt... Ha! Getting his butt kicked in Butt Mountain... That's a good one... Palino has a nice butt...

Episode 85- Round One, Begin!

Wednesday Oct 21, 2020

It's a Giant Combat Tournament! No not a giant tournament like a real big tournament, even though it is that. A giant tournament like the combatants are giants. Literal giants, not just big people. Except for our party of adventurers of course. They're not giants. But they do have giant personalities. Yeah, this is getting confusing. What's important here is Nock and Violexx were watching the tournament and made an off-hand comment about competing. The giant king, king of the giants not just a big king, heard this and volunteered them. So it's time for giant fights, and this one is giant in all the meanings of the word!

Will Blag be able to grasp the concept of non-lethal combat? Will Violexx beat up her opponent or herself? And how will Namee handle being forced into the ring? We hope Nock got some popcorn because it's going to be a spectacle! And because he has to wait his turn. Fighters, get ready!
