About this episode
Okay, we won’t lie. That episode was a marathon. Yes, it was too good to stop, and in fairness, we didn’t want to stop either. But the weight of what did, didn’t, and almost happened left us emotionally and physically drained. Worth it? Absolutely. This was a true reunion, for both players and characters, and the Newly Dead came back together in the only way they know how: dealing (and taking) a healthy dose of damage. At least they weren’t fighting each other this time, right? In this episode of Action Surge, Harry guides his tired little soldiers through an episode full of death, barters, secrets, and desperation to break down what might be our most impressive team-building exercise to date. (Though Hollie is still convinced Elowen could’ve taken him if it came down to it. And it almost did.) Now that the party’s reunited, it’s time to start trading secrets. Aoife opens up about Dolly and Reliquiae’s most toxic ex-boyfriend, while Alex insists certain details stay under wraps, for now, to give them the space they need to breathe…and, in some cases, to grieve. Ben, as ever, has thoughts about hit points and how much he enjoys having them just so he can lose them. Oh, and there’s nothing quite like a Chromatic Orb finally hitting and bouncing. In his defence, it was incredibly satisfying! And is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Kelnys, whose incredible dragon wings and third level healing spells just about kept the team on their feet. Well almost. A few still hit the deck. Someone’s got to help pick up the pieces, right Doug? Speaking of decks, the cards once again proved they are absolutely not what anyone expects. But hey, at least we managed to avoid adding a new edition to the pack. Oh, and what can we say? Crafted Campaigns has once again outdone themselves. And we’re pretty sure both Elowen and I would agree: the thought of running up and down the stairs in that place again is, quite frankly, exhausting. Hosted on Acast.
