You Shall Not Passway

The Yosai Passway wasn't the hard part. Getting through it together — with Adalina's anger still simmering and Jett being pulled aside for additional screening by local authorities — that was the hard part.By the time the party finds their inn and sits down to a warm meal, it almost feels like things might settle. After reconciling with Tomoé, Eldred is gone. A note is the only explanation left behind.Most of the party takes it at face value. But darker forces have been moving in the background for a while now — and a note is exactly what they'd want the party to find.Welcome to Off the Beaten Quest — a D&D actual play podcast set in the homebrew world of Aarencia.

Because our world is improvised, some moments may touch on themes that feel heavy or close to home. If you ever find yourself needing space, we encourage you to pause, skip ahead, or step away entirely. There’s no wrong way to engage with this story — only what feels right for you. Your well-being will always matter more than any plot point.
