Twice in a Blue Moon | DesiQuest Winter Special Episode 3
This episode, we meet Sitara and Laddoo Auntie - who have been welcomed as respected guests in the palace - after weeks of attempting to reason with the King, trying to exonerate Murkha & Raj who have been less fortunate, and accused of crimes they did not commit. Meanwhile, Ash has devoted himself to decoding the horoscope bestowed upon him by his late grandparents, hunkering down in the palace’s astrology tower. Murkha and Raj find themselves imprisoned in the depths of a crypt, fighting off increasingly intrusive thoughts and dark magics that surround them. Will Ash crack his grandparents’ code, the last gift he’ll ever receive from his family? Will Sitara and Laddoo Auntie convince the King to grant Will Murkha and Raj their freedom? Will Murkha and Raj hold onto their sanity?____This episode is sponsored by Chaosium!

A Thorn By Any Other Name | DesiQuest Winter Special Episode 2
Our adventurers find themselves in a magical well that is actually a prison, encountering new friends, a human prisoner and also meets a man named Raj who is on his way to the city to become a bard. They'll have to figure out how to escape, deal with untrustworthy characters, and decipher the mysteries of the well. The adventurers must decide who to trust and how to help their new friends, all while navigating a web of deceit, potential danger, and the looming possibility of a dark fate. Will they manage to escape the well, save Raj, and uncover the truth behind the mysteries they encounter, or will they succumb to the challenges and dark forces at play?Become a Vehaari Citizen here: www.patreon.com/desiquestGet your DesiQuest merch: www.desiquest.com/merchWanna play D&D with the cast?
