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.

Welcome to Ambush Island! Is that what it's really called? Probably not! But the DM didn't give us a name for it and the players didn't ask! Here at Ambush Island we have everything you could need to plan your next ambush and ambush based rescue mission! We have multiple strategic choke-points including a bridge, paths, and docks. Including a secret allied forces dock!

Have a ranger or druid in your party? Be sure to check out our world-class Paths Through the Forest! These paths are teeming with possibilities to put those nature skills to use. Rated a "Must Use for Ambushes" by the Silverkeep Scoundrel's Monthly News!

Need a place to recover or finalize your devious plans? Come by the inn where our friendly wait staff will turn a blind eye to any discreet conversations and activities! Think rest and planning is for the weak? Check out our famous enemy docks, where you can be sure to find some desperate situations! With so much room for intrigue, traps, and lethal surprises it's no wonder Ambush Island is the ambush destination for the most elite ambushers in all of Faeryn!

Don't have anyone on the island to ambush? Ask about our guided ambush packages designed in conjunction with Dungeon Safaris™.

So come to Ambush Island! Where the only limit to your ambush is your imagination. And dice rolls.

Episode 102- Tree Trial Trouble

Jun 16, 2021

51 min

The Transformative Trials of the Tree of Transcendence begin! Our team must traverse ten tiers of the tree tower, tackling tumultuous travails. Some of which are tortuous, others fairly tranquil. What trickery and traps will they turn up as they travel? They mustn't be tardy, because if the team is triumphant in transcending to the tippy-top first, then they will be rewarded with tasty tid-bits of knowledge that they truly need in these troubled times! It's time to try to win a meeting with The Tevergreen! Err, sorry, that's The Evergreen. We got really caught up in the whole T word thing here.

Episode 101- Squad Currency

Jun 2, 2021

36 min

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

May 19, 2021

1hr 10 min

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

May 5, 2021

39 min

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!
