Tavern Watch Plays Legend in the Mist, episode 1: Festival prep pandemonium!

The Legend in the Mist TTRPG has finally released, and Tavern Watch is here to dip our toes back into the world of rustic fantasy adventure! It’s time for the Spring Renewal Festival in the little town of Ravenhome, kicking off the warmer part of the year by tossing out the old and welcoming in the new, but everywhere you look it just seems like things are going awry: there’s a commotion blocking the bridge into town, the baker’s got a fruit-related conundrum, and the old lady on the edge of town is having a wasp problem. What are the local book club/trouble investigators, the Inkwell Club, to do? Why, pitch in and help of course! Surely there’s nothing more sinister going on here, right?

Your narrator for this adventure is Phil Ulrich, and Ravenhome’s resident nosy problemselves and lore chasers are:

• Joe Perez as Daisuke, a studious capybara-persoon from the local hot spring with a secret talent for water magic
• Trish Olson (AwkwardishPanda) as Meadow, a traveling diviner who sees omens and portents in the stars
• Kameron (Tetsemi) as Tom, a young and slightly-cursed runaway lad who tends to dive in head-first without thinking
• Matt Rossi as Sorena, a former bear cub polymorphed into a blacksmith’s apprentice, torn between two worlds
• Liz Harper as Selby, the somewhat overworked town alchemist (and her loyal beast of a hound dog, Ollie)

This is the first in a three-part series of Legend in the Mist — watch for new episodes every Monday! This isn’t our first time playing the rustic fantasy game from Son of Oak, however; you can check out our prior adventures here with a different trio of villagers. If you think this game sounds fun, you should be able to pick up your own copy of Son of Oak in the very near future!

The music in this episode is by Phat Phrog Studios — “Mana Malt,” from the Bard’s Rest collection.
