Why, hello there.

I'm Brennan Lee Mulligan, and welcome to Campaign 4 of Critical Role.

You're listening to part one of this adventure, with part two arriving this upcoming Tuesday.

Now, without further ado, let's begin this episode of Critical Role.

The windswept dunes of the Eternal Night, Barod-El of the Fallen, God of the Sun, here in the ruins of the Obra Dhimian Empire.

Having departed from Tanisar, knowing that some large portion of the Barogard had ventured into endless sand, being pursued by one Aligarh Fang,

you return, not knowing, Tysha, where your son could be, but knowing that he had survived under his own power and was attempting to do something reckless and heroic.

Perhaps something that he gets from... Perhaps the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.

Stressed and proud.

Stroud.

I'm Stroud!

Awaking to endless starlight and freezing white sand, you come to after the evening in which Octus and Vaelis communed with the skull of Tertia Taconis.

Leaving Tanisar, you gathered a tremendous amount of resources from the barracks.

The last thing that you saw, you uncovered the tremendous arcane knowledge of what the ritual had been intended to do and grabbed, I think, a trove of more martial, military, and political documents from the barracks, as well as some of the remains or

looks like some signs of there having been a basilisk present here in this place for some amount of time.
