Fifty episodes. Fifty battles. And now, one devastating loss. The caravan’s path to Silverport has led to the smoking ruins of the Crossroads—a battlefield of ash, blood, and burning faith.

In this harrowing, emotional episode of Twenty Sides: The Nexus , the party: Watches Holden’s stealth mission spiral into a desperate solo battle Faces cultists bearing the mark of Cintra and gnolls hungry for blood Hears Nash’s haunting voice echo through the smoke— “He does not know what he carries.” Fights to reach Holden before it’s too late Arrives just in time to see the unimaginable Holden—rogue, friend, and the party’s steady voice of reason—falls beneath the ash as Nash’s forces devour the Crossroads. His final stand marks a turning point in the campaign… and a new chapter for the Nexus. 🎲 Subscribe for weekly cinematic D&D storytelling where the stakes have never been higher. 💥 Support bonus content and early access at Patreon.com/twentysides Want more Twenty Sides?

The caravan nears the Crossroads—but what should be a lively waypoint filled with travelers and music now burns under a sky of black smoke. Flames lick the air. The smell of ash clings to everything. And through the haze, Holden sees something he hoped to never see again. Nash has returned. In this tense, cinematic episode of Twenty Sides: The Nexus , the party: Survives the aftermath of the Shadow Mastiff attack and continues toward Silverport Spots the distant smoke of the Crossroads and goes ahead to investigate Finds the town engulfed in fire, its streets filled with shadowed figures Learns that cultists and gnolls—led by a nine-foot-tall, red-eyed Nash —are behind the carnage Watches Holden move ahead alone, stealthing through the smoke to scout the enemy lines Discovers remnants of the Concord cult at work once again—burning, killing, and chanting beneath the flames The Mind Teasers’ caravan is just minutes behind. If Holden’s wrong move gives them away, the entire caravan could be slaughtered. And somewhere beyond the smoke… the real hunt begins. 🎲 Subscribe for weekly, cinematic D&D storytelling filled with mystery, danger, and deep character drama. 💥 Support early access and bonus episodes at Patreon.com/twentysides Want more Twenty Sides?

Just when the caravan thinks the worst is behind them, the night turns deadly. The moon vanishes. The world loses its color. And from the darkness come the Shadow Mastiffs —massive, ghostly hounds dripping with shadow and malice. Holden’s psychic blades flash under Lucia’s icy blue light as Dail and Jace rush to protect the terrified travelers. But not everyone makes it out alive. In this heart-pounding combat episode of Twenty Sides: The Nexus , the party: Faces four monstrous Shadow Mastiffs attacking from all sides of the caravan Watches Lucia illuminate the night with Light , revealing their invisible enemies Sees Tib’s desperate scream cut short as the hounds drag him into the dark Fights tooth and claw with heroism, lightning bolts, and psychic strikes Uncovers clues about these creatures—connected somehow to the Drarkana Wilds and the missing moons It’s a brutal fight for survival that leaves the camp bloodied, shaken, and full of questions. Why does the world keep fading to black and white—and what hunts them from beyond the veil? 🎲 Subscribe for weekly, cinematic D&D storytelling filled with emotion, danger, and mystery. 💥 Get early access and bonus episodes at Patreon.com/twentysides 📱 Follow @twentysidespod on all platforms for clips, lore drops, and character moments.
