In our 24th episode of News from the Breach we discuss chapter 5 & 6 of Book Ocean: “Archmage Akiyu” and “Bait and Switch”. We meet Tidebound Tina and some new creatures of the sea and sand. Our heroes have a map but get stood up by Zubeia - if only she’d listened to Dr. Soren. In Scumport we meet Finegrin and his assistant, and witness some pirate shenanigans from our very own crew.

We recorded during a storm so apologies for background noises in the first few minutes. We hope you enjoy the episode!
