  • Ep. 40. The Tragedy of Bellerophon (Part 2)
    Sep 25 2024

    It has been a bit of wait but Part 2 is finally here! Bellerophon and his horsey-pale, Pegasus, have defeated the Chimera, be it with a lot of help. But their story is not done yet...Obviously. There is much more to cover for our heroes in this tragic tale. We've got a quest dispensing king, aerial artillery, a mass flashing event, and much more as well.

    Patrick is joined once again by Emily Bourdon & Madi Gervais from Spill the Mead podcast, and they had an absolute ball.
