About this episode
Miria and Edryk face a terrifying trap and life-altering choices push on to the deepest chambers of the Fane of the All-Knowing. In this episode Miria and Edryk narrowly escape a trap that borrows its inspiration from the AD&D2e spell Maximillian’s Stony Grasp, and the D&D3e spell Stone Fist that evolved from it. I discuss spells – and getting them wrong in the episode. Warning: Spoilers ahead Miria and Edryk encounter the being known as the All-Knowing, which is an extradimensional intelligence. The voice of the All-knowing is provided by Jon Cohen of Tale of the Manticore, one of the first Solo Semi-Actual-Play podcasts, and one of the biggest inspirations for Swords Against Madness. You can hear Tale of the Manticore wherever you get your pdcasts, and check out his official website here. And hear the trailer for Tale of the Manticore here:
