Action Surge Episode 43
Before we can even begin doing what Action Surge is actually here for, which is reflecting on the previous episode, we somehow open the show with legs above the heart and a sexual intimidation roll-off. Naturally. How else were we meant to concentrate?
We talk about how Harry tried to deliver story, lore, and information to the party without dumping it on the players. Despite the warmth and safety of a good, comfortable inn, Raidion's decision to stay sober for an entire session was a genuine moment of character growth. We also look at the role reversal in this episode. Kel really let his hair down, and we were all delighted.
It has also been a while since we met any of the Grēnweard brothers, so Harry shares a bit more insight into the most bookish of them, Torrian, especially when compared to Eiddon. Realistically, not many people compare to Eiddon. And let us be honest, who among us does not have a crush on Dolly? Plus, it might actually be comforting for Elowen to hear news of her brother after everything she has been through.
Naturally, we also talk about the hotties of Reliquiae so far. From Morgan, to Aska (who can absolutely make us feel special any time), to Medea (everyone has a type, we are not here to judge), and now Lovak. The group might have been a little starved for attention, and we're thrilled to hear that he knows what he's doing.
Then there is the amulet. Raidion might not have been drinking, but he certainly didn't stay out of trouble. We chat about that moment, the beauty of detail-oriented Doug and Kelyn's, and how he loves encouraging little character beats to happen.
Finally, we talk about death at the table and the important role it can play when it is used thoughtfully. Harry has never really hidden that he sometimes regrets not killing a brother or two back at Castle Grēnweard. And we also learn that the song From the Darkness Light does not actually have any lyrics, which is frankly devastating. We simply want to hear Harry sing.
Oh, and the Reliquiae master document? It is currently sitting at 328 pages and still growing.
Also, gag reflexes. For reasons.

Action Surge Episode 65
47:45||Season 1, Ep. 65Alex fails his dexterity saving throw and the everyone immediately starts making penis jokes. This is starting to become a bit too normal around here. This action surge unpacks a lot of the, rather ridiculous behaviour, that the party engaged in whilst letting their hair down and getting their feet wet.Having reached the end of an arc, there’s a lot of reflecting and considerations for what comes next.Gnomes anyone? Harry digs into some of his thoughts and processes for introducing a gnome city into the narrative. And what about all the new lore we’ve picked up? What does it tell us about the gods? The totems? The very world itself? Whatever the answers, we all need to talk about the new cuddly party member!---Support us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/naturalsixJoin our Discord! https://discord.gg/HNV56DADnJFollow us on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/naturalsixFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natural_six65.

03:11:02||Season 1, Ep. 65With the dust beginning the settle and a new dawn on the horizon, the scales begin to tip in a new direction. Blood is thicker than water but what of gold?Time will tell. A thick canopy of bark and branch might obscure the way for some.For others it creates a path clearer than any road. Perhaps we all end up exactly where we’re mean to be. And what of rest?

Action Surge Episode 62
58:39||Season 1, Ep. 62After two sessions of non stop combat, it’s time to take a breather and unpack everything that’s happened.Harry, Ben and Alex dig into the emotional and mechanical depths of combat...by comparing it to football. Obviously.Harry unleashes a 60ft cone of combat mechanics upon the party, discussing breath weapons, spell slots, DOMF, and vials of super secret wasp juice. This combat had it all, baby.Even when Harry dashes off, everyone somehow stays on task and keeps talking about the battle. It’s almost scary how little nonsense and mischief they get up to. Is Ben ok????Finally, to wrap up all this serious D&D conversation, Aoife and Doug reckon with their joint ‘healer’ roles within the party, while Ben recalls an annoying fan.
