Bracket Racket : Daggers And Drams : Deep 6 : C1E22

In this episode of Daggers and Drams: Deep Six, a rowdy actual play TTRPG / Dungeons and Dragons 5e podcast for adults....the party descends into the dangerous heart of The Cracks, where the shifting Night Market hides more than black-market charms, stolen relics, and questionable street food. Following the trail of Orlan Threetongue, the crew searches for the entrance to an illegal underground fighting pit known as The Rust Below. Ruby busks with her eerie bone flute, Stenny gets pickpocketed, Mac reluctantly gets pulled back toward his fighting past, and the party discovers that the entrance to the arena is hidden in the least dignified place imaginable. Beneath the market, the adventurers find a packed underground fight club watched over by Shadow Doves, gamblers, nobles, criminals, and the formidable Melina, highborn elf and ruler of the Rust Below. With Orlan’s name on the fight card, Mac enters the tournament under the unforgettable alias Mac Pissmist, setting the stage for blood, coin, grudges, and brutal D&D 5e arena combat. Expect Dungeons & Dragons 5e actual play, underground fight pits, rogue investigations, bardic inspiration, illegal betting, faction intrigue, the Umbral Consulate, and the glorious stupidity that only a tabletop RPG can provide.
