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 69- King-a-Ruse

Wednesday Mar 25, 2020

Our notes for this episode description say "Emperor Tor and his entourage arrive at the palace to begin their next heist." But wait, isn't Tor, well, you know? And this guy is way too tall to be Tor. This person also has red skin and horns. Is that Rath? Oh there's a flying miniature T-Rex with him. That's definitely Rath.

Okay, so "Emperor Tor" and the team's plan here is to use disguises to gain an audience with the King. Considering the very, uhm, interesting attire Blag has chosen, it's a wonder they aren't immediately riddled with arrows by the palace guards. Will they be granted an audience with the King? Are they really going to let the Elk in? And what surprising talent has Rath been hiding from us all? It's time to steal a crown!

Episode 67- Thieves Guild Stole Our Episode Title

Wednesday Feb 26, 2020

So Namee, with the best of intentions, accidentally led our adventurers into a confrontation with some Thieves Guild guards. But really, it's not his fault. He wanted to honor a fallen friend by doing a little cleaning. How could he have known an unused temple was actually a hidden entrance for a band of scoundrels? If anything, this is on the thieves.

Thanks to Jade's warning, at least the party knows the mess they've stumbled into. And yes, they may have done some snake attacks, and shot a guy in the face with magic. But that's besides the point! As we said before, the Thieves Guild is really at fault due to a lack of adequate signage. Anyway, some hasty plans are made and sloppily executed. Then the team comes at the issue again with some deception of their own. It's time to infiltrate the Thieves Guild! On purpose this time!

Episode 66- Cleaning Out the Temple

Wednesday Feb 12, 2020

With the Staff of Pa-La-Di in hand, the Dungeon Master has plans to "wrap"-up this pyramid mission with a quick trip back to town so the adventurers can see a cleric and get their curses removed. And for some, to get their eyeballs back. But Namee doesn't care about the whims of a Dungeon Master. And Namee wants to do something random before calling it a day. And do you know what happens when you take a mundane situation like a visit to town and you add in Namee? Chaos. Chaos is what happens.

Will Rath keep the curse of beauty and risk the chance of it backfiring later? Has Kort finally learned the value of a gold coin? And will any of it matter, because Namee is just going to Namee? It's time to do some cleaning! Yes, we said cleaning. Trust us, it's way more ridiculous than it sounds.
