Spotify Nat 20 and Unwind: After The Curtain Falls
The stage lights have dimmed, the applause has faded, and the laughter still echoes a little too long. The crew gathers around the table—not for battle, but for breath.
Join the cast of Crit Happens! as they unwind after the House of Fun arc: talking through the traps that tested their nerves, the confessions that cost blood, and the lessons hidden behind the jokes. From near-death theatrics to Nyros’ rebirth and Zebulon’s vow of water-only discipline, the players pull back the curtain on what it felt like inside Virelios’ most dangerous carnival.
Expect laughter, reflection, and maybe a little chaos as the party decompresses, debates their best (and worst) rolls, and shares what they learned about their characters—and themselves—inside the House that wanted to understand them.
“You can’t spell ‘fun’ without ‘uhhh.’”
🎙️ A special roundtable episode where the players of Crit Happens! step out of character, pour a drink (or just water), and unpack the madness behind the magic.

0:00 It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. I'm just curious if if Kaz they eluded anything off my body while I was dead. On that note, on that note, welcome to Nat 20 and unwind here on Spotify. Thank you so much for listening to the House of Fun. Hey, how we feeling everybody? Oh, you know. Nearly dead. Like dead emotional support Penguin. Thank you, it came in handy tonight. All right, I got to know Neros. What was the role for today's day? Let. Me go back. It was called the Echo Jackal. Let me go up here. You like a?
0:44 Divinity Wizard or what? Was that No I So I'm a cleric of Valora who's like the memory goddess and I'm like one of her servant people that basically captures and records the memories like a reliquary of memory. So I get special things depending on the memories that I'm instilling and upholding. So at the start, just as a character flaw I guess you'd call it, but it's also the trait and personality. At the start of every session I roll to see which of the memories is like the prominent 1. So tonight it was feral curiosity, treating secrets like meat and conversations like hunts. Prowling, testing others, prodding, taking trophies. Just far more violent and without any sort of concern for himself or others.
1:52 See, that still fits what the first session of this was like because you rolled chaos. Yep, yeah. Yeah, Yep. OK. So. So where we will go forward from here is I am going to, as the just and powerful DMI I am, say that Zebulon will use the teleportation circle to get everybody back to the Whisper Fang Tavern. I'm not going to charge you Zebulon for that. So from there, Whisper Fang Tavern will breathe you in warm amber light, low beans, and the bittersweet smell of spilled cordials. I feel the air. The doors shuts out Sweetness Carnival hum if you will.
2:37 And for the first time tonight, no one but yourselves are listening. You claim the corner booth beneath the the cracked mirror. Zebulon will of course take inventory of where everything is with his Tavern. And the next one through the door is Melvera Wax Fang Tryst, who is the quartermaster for Sweet Nest. And she says high command said day off. She says, almost in a deadpan tone. I heard you almost wrestled a crocodile and fireball the theater. I don't know anything about any fireballs. Give me a section check.
3:22 I think that was the I think that was the Barker. I thought we decided it was the Barker. For crying out loud, the circus was not the Barker. It was the Barker. I got a dirty 20 the. Parker, she believes it. She's like, huh? OK, well I heard different, but you know you were the ones there. So your oath binder Ledger. Banging my head on the table. Yeah, the same. Just been grown and just like bounce bong bong bong. Your oath binder. Is kind of shoot, shoot a wink over at him. Your your oath binder ledger's from In Quiet Sync as one by one she stamps all of your Ledger pages with a black seal right next to your name.
4:03 So it says House of Fun complete. Now I need everyone to make me a perception check. I will say right now, out of game this is a very high DC. How high? Like over 30? Because I don't think anything could be possible within over 30. It's not a 30 I'm. 28. Oh shit. Can. I. Can I threaten myself? Oh God. Well, Neros, this isn't going to apply to you and. Someone being perceived.
4:50 You, Kazea, ask that when when Malvera stamps Neros's Ledger of Fun, the sigil that is stamped is much darker than the rest of yours, the ink still wet before another line crosses it out, saying True Resurrection witnessed question mark. OK. What do you think of the records about? I got a 34.
5:32 Well this the the check is in regards to you. That makes sense. Yeah, that's why I was I was, I don't was like ignoring you, but the check was against you. So what I just told caste is that your sigil that she stamps with the House of Fun is much darker than the rest. And it also has a line kind of scribbled next to it that says True Resurrection witnessed audio listeners, you're going to get a little bit of a clue as to what's going to happen here. This is going to be the starting point for you. And you and I know exactly what that means.
6:13 Oh, OK, cool. So. You get a little bit inside audio listeners and whispers congratulations to you all. So with the stamps, the Tavern light fills, fills in Neros. You do see, as you are kind of settling down and kind of, you know, assessing where you are as the Tavern lights kind of fill in the creases of where you're sitting, you notice that on your forearms, on your veins, they're almost like arcane purple scars, faintly luminescent, spidering to the wrists. And when you flex your hand into a fist, it almost emanates a a purple glow.
7:09 You guys, I got stigmata. It's. Just wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Is it? Is it? Is it anything like the scars that I have? No. OK. So Melvera does clock, does notice it and doesn't flinch. She looks at Nero's and says you left the shape in the glass and brought a different one back. Price paid. Some debts echo, you know. Cover them when you prefer fewer questions, don't when you want the right ones. And as Zebulon comes to the table with a first round.
7:56 Just water for me I. Was going to say gentle reminder, Zeb. Goodman the water for Zebulon. With a knowing grin, you begin to trade war stories. And yes, of CISA. That was exactly what I was thinking of. Audio listeners, we love you to death of CISA just sent me a GIF of Rumi from K Pop Demon hunters with the stars and it's exactly what I was envisioning. So did I. Not say that. Did I not say that? What? No, I didn't. You did. And it was what I was thinking to. You, I said it was. Tape happy. What is this Caleb name on this? I did not hear that, so I was about to ward O cease an inspiration Savara.
8:38 No, I gave it to her. I'll just give it to both of you. I'm OK with both of you. Have any inspiration? Okie dokie. Perfect. And now the debrief. You'll be debriefed at Whisperfang, the Tavern. So for those of you who haven't seen in the Discord RP and for audio listening again, we love you. Whisper Fang Tavern is the Tavern that is now owned by Zebulon in the Shatter Peaks, correct? Zebulon it's in, yes, it's in. It's in the the Shatter Peaks. So that's where you are currently and that's where you will end tonight's session at Whisper Fang Tavern in the Shatter Peaks. Again, as of right now, there are a few rooms to use for resting things along those lines, and I have a sneaky suspicion that with tonight's session, you guys will rest for what will feel like forever, so you will also. Now lock.
9:34 My door gold out of this? Yep, you will also each get 700 gold. Wow. I can abort some stables for this Tavern now. And any additional items, I will just take a quick peek at my book and come up with things as the night progresses Tonight for me because I got to tell you, I am hungry and I got a jettison out of here. So we're going to sign off on that 20 and unwind. Thank you so much again for listening. Real quick note as well, we just eclipsed over 400 followers on our Facebook page. So if you are one of those 403 people, I should say that are here. Thank you so much.
10:18 This is just. The thing that this. Is just the thing that I wanted to just kind of do for fun and it kind of turned into this. So, you know, it's a lot of fun playing D&D with the people and friends that you know, and having people listen to your all of the idiotic and chaotic things that we do. Damn doors. Yes, so I died. You did die. But did you? Die, but did you die? So we will sign off. We will sign up for tonight on that 20 and and unwind. I am supposed to heart for everybody here at the P3 Podcast network. We will see you guys next time for another adventure of the Scale Mount Syndicate and Crit happens.
