04 Dying Earth - The Great Visp Hunt - Red Visp, White Visp — Grizzly Peaks Radio

In this Grizzly Peaks Radio episode, the party navigates a suspicious village in the Dying Earth setting, guided by sullen locals to hunt a mournful monster called a visp. The group engages in chaotic combat against the tentacled creature, which wears a white singlet, while the players struggle with the game’s complex and poorly explained rules. Amidst the battle, the players debate clothing terminology and the nature of the artificial monsters, ultimately defeating the first visp with magic and melee attacks before a second one appears.
