About this episode
Deep in the bowels of the castle, something ancient stirs. The air thickens the moment the party crosses that final threshold - heavy, watchful, like the shadows themselves are holding their breath. Torchlight gutters. Statues line the walls, too still, too expectant. One wrong pulse, and the crypt might pulse back.
Ixen leads the charge, barreling toward the heart of the darkness. Stassi’s sharp instincts cut through the dread. Blades ready, nerves electric - they push into a vault where every corner hides teeth.
What happens when the dead refuse to stay quiet? Can grit and scavenged fire hold back an endless night? And when the true lord of Ravenloft finally turns its gaze on them… who breaks first?
Steel & Sorcery at its rawest: heart-pounding horror, desperate hacks, and D&D edges you won’t see coming.
Grab headphones. Dim the lights. Ravenloft hungers. Hit play.
