Caravans and Chaos- EP 7 - Live Laugh Lurk

Monster Monster

Awakening with burning eyes and strange new powers, Vance and Dolo find themselves back in the church with Essel as the town around them erupts in flames. What started as a mysterious encounter with shadow creatures has transformed into a desperate evacuation mission as they help townsfolk escape through tunnels beneath the sanctuary.
Vance discovers his eyes now glow red when illusions are nearby, allowing him to identify shadow creatures disguised as ordinary people. The recurring declaration that "that baby ain't real" becomes his warning call as he spots imposters among the refugees. Meanwhile, Dolo bears a mysterious symbol on his shoulder, granting him access to magical abilities he never possessed before. Together, they navigate the chaos while piecing together the fragments of their strange experience.
As flames consume the town, Essel reveals their potential destination—Kerr Hill, a notorious smuggling town where anyone with enough coin can find passage anywhere. Before parting ways, he gifts them a magical communication stone, cementing a connection that suggests their paths may cross again. The episode culminates in a thrilling escape sequence as shadow creatures launch attacks on their departing cart, and a chilling voice reminds them that their mysterious adversary hasn't given permission for them to leave.
What awaits our heroes on the road to Kerr Hill? Will they discover the true nature of their new abilities, and what connection do they have to the shadowy woman who seems to control these illusions? Subscribe now and join Vance and Dolo on their journey through a world where nothing is quite what it seems.
