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 52 - Rubbing it Pays Off

Tuesday Aug 13, 2019

Time is running out to save Tor's daughter. Having barely pried Kort out of the siren's magical grasp, the team has approached the ghostly Butler Rempfer, desperate for any assistance they can get. It turns out he is willing to help the team locate the baron, and even point them to a powerful weapon to help defeat him. But the Butler has one condition, they return his heart to his body so that he can be free to rest in peace. He's probably sick of cleaning bathrooms. If Blag is any indication, shifters like the Houndmaster eat some gross stuff. So it's off to find a heart! Having recently visited the lab of the mad scientist Von Leachtenstein, our adventurers think they have a good idea where to start their search!

Deciding to make the most of their limited time, our adventures split up, once again violating that super basic D&D rule. Rath heads off to complete the Butler's mission, while the others go to finally raid the treasury. And that's the part where things really just all go to hell. Will the team find what they need to defeat the sinister baron? Will their lust for magical items get them in to yet another ridiculous situation? Why does Kort keep looking down his pants? And will someone please see if that crying baby is okay? They probably just want their mummy!

Episode 50 - Maniacs in a Mansion

Wednesday Jul 17, 2019

Episode 50! A major milestone! The kind of event people who make podcasts would generally celebrate with a special episode. Something well thought out in advance. But if you've listened this far, you know making plans isn't exactly one of these guys' strengths in game. Why would it be any different out of game?

Speaking of making plans, that's actually something our adventurers try to do this episode. And some of their ideas are actually reasonable. Dare we say almost even intelligent? You might be saying to yourself, "that's not the party I know!". Fear not listeners. In the end it all devolves back down to brash action and rash choices. But hey, at least we're 50 episodes in and the bard hasn't tried to seduce someone.

Episode 49 - For Bidden

Wednesday Jul 03, 2019

Having finally reached the manor of the vampire Baron Von Uberdorf, our adventurers have somehow charmed their way inside and been given free rein. With a couple very important restrictions that are just asking to be ignored by the team. Showing surprising restraint, they begin their exploration of the grounds in search of Tor's daughter.

Coming across an unexpected guest of the Baron's, Kort and Rath try out a new routine we're calling Two Fine Fellows Foppishly Frolic with Frivolous Frankensteinian Flair. It's fairly fascinating.

Speaking of flair, we're excited to announce that we now have merchandise available featuring designs from friend of the show kevvart! Check out all the awesome apparel, stickers and so much more at tee.pub/lic/18PfY6FQeuc . And be sure to check out more of his work on instagram @kevvart!

Episode 48 - Hit the Wraith not the Rath

Sunday Jun 16, 2019

Things are getting desperate for our adventurers as they continue their journey through the perilous hedge maze of Baron Von Uberdorf. Knowing their destination can't be far, they venture on, pursued by the obnoxious heavy breathing, and that wraith that at this point is really just being a jerk.

Can the party survive this gauntlet? Will Rath be undone by a terrifying new threat that he should have seen coming? Will Kort finally use his heroic moment? Will one of the adventurers wind up as dead as the puns the players try to resurrect? As things heat up, let's hope they can push their luck, and their foes, just a little more.
