Intelligence Check

https://www.intelligencecheck.com/feed.xml

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 101- Squad Currency

Wednesday Jun 02, 2021

Having left the den of the aboleth Cletus, our party takes a little time to collect themselves and assess their situation. It turns out meeting with an ancient malevolent being can be very traumatic, and our team needs a little time to process everything. Especially the deal Blag found himself making with the sinister Cletus! Thanks to Blag's sacrifice, the mission was a success, leading to a wealth of information about the enemy they face. Called the First Chosen, they are a group of powerful beings who were originally selected by the gods to restore balance to the world should the forces of good or evil ever tip the scales too far in one direction. Now however, they are set on the destruction of everything. And it turns out there is a person known as the Evergreen who happens to be an expert on the First Chosen. A person Shep has a little insight on!

So it's off to Silverkeep, the location of the headquarters of the Scout Protectors, and a city that apparently everyone who lives in this world should visit at least once! With a journey ahead of them that is actually measured in weeks, what will our party do to make use of their time? How will they recenter themselves in the wake of the aboleth encounter? And what situation will they find themselves in that makes Violexx threaten a kid? It's time for a road trip!

Episode 100- Southern Hospitality

Wednesday May 19, 2021

An ancient and terrible creature awaits our adventurers. For them to learn more of the evil creating chaos in the land, and how to have any hope of stopping it, the party must seek out and beg the guidance of this being. A creature so monstrous and malevolent it literally gave some of our cast nightmares!

It's our aboleth episode. Once you've heard it you'll know exactly which one we're talking about when we say that. Because when our DM Kyle makes an ancient, near omnipotent monster an NPC, he goes big. Scary big. And with a southern accent!

Episode 99- Life Saving Deals

Wednesday May 05, 2021

Having survived their audience with the frog king, our party returns to Namee's home with the cure-all in hand. But with no directions on the label will they be able to figure out how to even use it? Then it's off to shops to gear up and check out some new magic accessories. It's basically an interlude episode, but they've got a large encounter coming up and they might as well look good for it!

Episode 98- The Gang Performs Surgery

Wednesday Apr 21, 2021

His day begins like any other, starting the morning off with a simple healthy breakfast and some time to relax in his modest, yet comfortable quarters. His rooms are slightly larger than most, a benefit of his station as one of the elite guards. Then, before leaving, he memorizes his spells for the day, a standard selection of detect magic, combat magic and psychic abilities, useful for the advance detection and assessment of threats.

As he passes through the halls, he receives nods of respect, but few friendly waves. He doesn't mind that he's not well liked. He has little time to maintain relationships and he takes pride in excelling at his work and the esteem it brings him. Arriving at his post, he is joined by his two colleagues, one a specialist in illusions, the other in transportation magics. They make a formidable team, which is why they are trusted with such an important posting.

It's not long after that he hears something unexpected; the alarm horn has been blown. Has the Rakshasa finally sent their forces against them? He and his companions show no hesitation, falling into their training and taking up their defensive positions. He is prepared for the worst, he will be unflinching in his duty and will gladly die to protect his lord. Little does he know that it is not an invading army coming towards his position, but rather a team of inept adventurers. And Ribbert the Guard is about to have a very bad day.

Episode 97- Violexx Drops a Killer GI Track

Wednesday Apr 07, 2021

Our party has finally made it into the frog folk cave! Having navigated their way past a rather treacherous pit, they find themselves with only one way forward, down into a big pool of dark water! After a quick and possibly ill-advised test from Namee it becomes clear that this may not be the most inviting place to go for a dip. Thankfully Violexx has an idea to push onwards that's a real gas. Working together, the team brews up a plan and lets it rip.

Who will they come across in the tunnels that's a real stinker? What wind of inspiration will blow Blag into some deep scientific thoughts? What terrible curse is revealed that gives Violexx vapors? With enemies about, will our adventurers have to cut one? It's time to see if this group can squeak deeper into the bowels of the cave. It's time to be silent and almost deadly!
