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 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.

Episode 47 - a-MAZE-ing

Wednesday Jun 05, 2019

Last episode left our adventurers deep in the treacherous hedge maze of Baron Von Uberdorf. As they traverse further in to the maze, they are pursued by the sounds of heavy, bestial breathing. And then there's also that wraith that keeps popping out of the bushes and taking swings at the party. Kind of like when you have an uninvited guest, and you think they're finally going to leave, but they just linger. And try to murder you. You get the idea.

Soon the party discovers an ominous globe of impenetrable darkness, just daring them to ignore it. Kind of like those people out on the street who want you to sign up for something, and you try to avoid eye contact, and they're ready for it. And then they pounce and take a chunk of your soul. It's like that.

When poor rolls leave the team a little unarmed, will Blag take the initiative to put something in his mouth when it is very clearly a bad idea? Kind of like when someone doesn't think things though. You know, like a moron. There's a zero in the logo for a reason folks!

Episode 46 - The Blag and the Hound

Wednesday May 22, 2019

Having more or less successfully defended the town of Wildsteel from a Zombie uprising, our adventurers decide to take the fight to the malevolent Baron Von Uberdorf. After they get a good night's sleep of course. Upon arriving at his manor they discover the way forward is blocked, safely secured by an unlocked gate, a doggy, and a hedge maze. Terrifying, we know.

Will our adventurers be able to overcome the canine guardian? As things heat up for Beaker, will the party learn a little something about the nature of companionship? Or will it just break down into a fight over who is responsible for the cool thing they did?

Join the adventurers as they navigate the twists and turns of the DM's devious labyrinth, and make a lot of paper sounds in the process. Let's hope they don't hit a dead end!
