Spoilers for Season 1- Our behind the scenes series of our Season 1 episodes continues. We have 2 episodes combined into one featuring discussion following the party's delve into one of Rath's old dungeons followed by conversation after unintentionally becoming crew on a ship.

This episode starts with a quick update on the status of the podcast followed by our first behind the scenes discussion episode from Patreon. This covers our first 17 episodes of Season 1, which introduced the characters, the world, and saw them overcome being in direct competition with each other to come together as a team. If you haven't already …

It's a vicious fight to take out the remaining guards blocking the party's path to treasure. Hap charges in! And his dice rolls aren't having it. But he keeps trying to hit people in the legs to the best of his tiny height ability. Thankfully our tiny heroes were able to get the drop on them because they really need that surprise round! Plus Flukey…

Our party has picked a completely unnecessary fight with a wizard and is having a really tough time with it! Maybe it's a good thing the players haven't become too attached to their new characters. Flukey takes a pause to restring his bow. Chance keeps trying to split the party. Namee tries out a few animal forms. And Hap drags the enemy down to hi…

With their ambush complete, the party now has a hot lead on a heist. Being the bandits that they are, they decide to keep that tip for themselves rather than share it with their employers. Time to hunt down a big score! After a little bit of a rest. They venture out to the castle believed to hold great treasure. It's a very castle-like castle, comp…

The next part of our previously Patreon exclusive Short Adventure is here! The caravan ambush is in full swing, and wait, why is Flukey having a snack?! Are you enjoying the show?

It's time to meet our adventurers for this story. Yes, they're right in front of you. Look down a bit. They're all very tiny. Previously a patreon exclusive recorder roughly 3 years ago, these randomly generated characters are ready to steal some food! Any yes, one of them may be very familiar to listeners. First we have Chance Battlebeard played b…

Previously a Patreon exclusive adventure, join members of the Intelligence Check cast and their friend Frank as they roll up new randomized characters for a short tie-in adventure. This is a session zero in which the players make a series of rolls to randomly determine the characters they will be playing. Those characters are then revealed by the D…

It's the final episode of our first mini-arc and Arkin has a soup delivery for some guards barring their path. Thistlyn also has a delivery, of death! It's a death delivery, because she brings death to someone. You get it. And Fliminald would just appreciate it if everyone could calm down. The party comes across some unexpected surprises. Flimmy ne…

Fliminald tries to teach a companion some basic etiquette. Thistlyn follows her nose. And Arkin shows off his skills in the kitchen. Are you enjoying the show?

After a bit of sudden violence, our trio finds themselves with a large shimmering mosaic barring their passage. Written on the wall is a long riddle clearly offering clues on how to decipher the puzzle. Certainly with that they will have no trouble at all and not stumble onto the solution by blindly pressing buttons. Are you enjoying the show? Plea…

It's time for an all new-mini campaign and Kyle is back in the DM seat! We have a four-part side mission starting with this episode featuring Mike, Ben, and a new player, Maggie! And they'll be introducing new characters for this quest. First up is Arkin, an aasimar who tries maybe too hard to fit in with the little people. We also have Fliminald, …

It's our 2nd finale in Season 2! Don't overthink it, we certainly haven't! Anyway, we've reached the end of Mike's arc as the DM and it's time to finally find out what all this wackiness has been about. And more importantly, what everyone has landed on for their catch phrases! Violexx attempts to define the battlefield. Rath has to work through his…

It's time to defeat robo-Raine. But she'll be damned if she's going to let Fergus take her down. Blag teaches Al'Qir a lesson. And Rath teaches a course on quality cocktails.

150 episodes! What a momentous occasion! Surely the sort of thing that you'd have a special episode planned for! But no, not this group. Instead, Rath spends half the episode with a horse sitting on his head. And it turns out that he kind of likes it! We'd like to send a huge thanks to all of our listeners for joining us through 150 episodes of off…

The End is Nigh! But don't worry, you can still enjoy a delicious meal at Apocalypse Tavern! We've got everything you need to survive the apocalypse, from our nachos to our fresh-baked bread. And if you're looking for a drink to help you forget about the end of the world, we've got plenty of those too. For the truly adventurous, try our Apocalypse …

Blag goes for a frolic. Clothes disappear. A horse gets punched. Blag licks a kid. And there's some uncomfortable finger painting. Overall, it's a good day for Blag! This episode is sponsored by Manscaped! They were kind enough to send us their Performance Package, the ultimate men's hygiene bundle, and we'd absolutely suggest you check it out! Buy…

The team opens the next door along their path to discover what appears to be a stream with a boat awaiting them. A boat with a dark surprise for the adventurers! A surprise they probably will not love. What will the party do when they come face to face with their deepest truths? Will they confront it head on? Will they attempt to distract themselve…

The adventure through the dungeon of oddities continues to puzzle our adventurers. It's still not clear to them just where they are and why they are there. With some fourth wall breaking antics behind them, they have moved on to the next area. And to their astonishment, they have stumbled upon a holiday party. One they certainly are not invited to!…

The party is totally landing an AD&D (advanced dirty & dancing) in an attempt to climb up a ladder to escape from the crapple monstrosities. Which seems counter-productive, but when the opportunity presents itself for a double dirty dance you take it! Meanwhile, Rath and Kort haven't even entered the room yet. Pushing through the crapple horrors, t…

We try playing online! And it goes surprisingly well! What goes less well is when the party finds themselves in a pantry. It's a close quarters tango with monsters that have a deep personal connection to Violexx! Are you enjoying the show? Please help us grow and tell someone about it! All episodes are available at http://www.intelligencecheck.com/…

The party is grossed out after running into another group of cultists. These people seem to be a cult centered around repeatedly puking though and that's gross and they don't deserve to live. Fergus starts off by trying to push one over a balcony, but he slips in a puddle of spew and goes over the railing himself. Horrifyingly, there is a large col…

Rath shepherds his cultists into their bright and shiny future. But it seems there may be other cults around that worship commercialism and excess. That last one may actually be grossness though. We're still not really sure what the hell is going on around here! Are you enjoying the show? Please help us grow and tell someone about it! All episodes …

The party comes across a very nice restroom. A new twist on a cantrip changes everything. And Rath finds religion. Or rather, it finds him. Are you enjoying the show?

The hijacked adventuring party consisting of Violexx, Rath, Kort, Blag and Fergus has found themselves in a strange room with a large sign telling them to say goodbye to their fine bottom. Or is it Finebottom? Seeing as how that's Rath's last name, it's entirely possible. Especially since this whole place has been very odd so far! What's got everyo…

Our players have found themselves in a strange dungeon surrounded by familiar faces. And apparently big lips. And wax lips. And goblins that keep dying. And nobody knows what's going on. Who would have thought that a game run by Mike would be chaotic?! Thankfully Rath has learned how to lean into the chaos and ride the wave of confusion! Fergus fin…

Our interlude episodes continue with a new mini-campaign. And it's the first game we're doing with one of the players in the Dungeon Master seat! Mike is trying his hand at running a game and he hasn't let anyone know what to expect. Legends tell of the last game he ran years ago and the legions of squirrels he made the players fight. So if anythin…

It's our first interlude episode! And it's right after the events at the end of Season 2. Like immediately after. It basically is more Season 2. But we already said we did the finale so this is an interlude damnit! It's got roleplaying, questionable drinking (this isn't how drinking works), depressing backstories, new friends, and a sing along! So …

The end of the fight against the forces of the apocalypse is here. And it is a moment that is full of ominous warnings, troubling news, and dire events! Who will still be standing to face the challenges to come? And where will our adventurers go from here? While this story has ended, the world is still in need of heroes, and the story of our advent…

It's the end of the arc battle against the big bads! So you know it's going to be massive! And, maybe a bit longer than you might have expected. But also giant and epic! This episode, yet another combatant appears. And they get straight to business with a brutal attack! Speaking of being offensive, Violexx fights a horse. The party fails an optiona…

We're taking a break from the giant battle and finding a moment to reflect on the meaning of friendship and family. This episode we'll be welcoming some old friends. And making some new ones as well. But then we'll also be blasting some of those friends with bursts of flames directly to the face because they are shadows of the real people being con…

With the big fight going down, Namee has brought what may be a friend to the field. That seems like some serious wishful thinking though! Either way, he's not the only one calling on an ally in this battle. The brawl is about to get just a bit more crowded! Someone better do something to thin out the numbers here. Preferably in our party's favor! W…

Jag drops Raine to the ground. Violexx drops a bomb. Namee flies away from the fight. Rady does something gross. And Way turns up the heat. The party is taking some big hits, but they are giving it right back to Raine. And Kyle is going to pay it back to Lauren for a very pointed comment she made to him earlier in the day. There's no safety around …

The party charges into battle with Raine. Remember her? She's the extremely powerful necromancer and the literal Apocalypse rider of death. So she's not terribly impressed by the adventurers facing her. But she hasn't stayed around in one place long enough to fight our team before so she has underestimated just how annoying they can be! Are you enj…

Being ferried through the land of the dead by their new pal Bonesy, the party has had their pleasant river of styx guided tour just ruined by the pursuit of the massive leviathan. And despite being a turtle, it refuses to have a polite conversation with Way! With the monster quickly gaining on their boat, it's time to get creative if they want to l…

After a bit of a creative recap on recent events, the party is off to the plane of the dead! Namee gets to use an obscure benefit from his background that kicks things off with breaking some of the DM's plans! Rady goes for an ill-advised drink. And the party makes a couple of new friends! And then things devolve just a bit while everyone discusses…

Having entered Hell our party found themselves at the entrance to what seemed to be some sort of a theme park. With a little creative line manipulation from Namee and Violexx's eagle eye vision, they quickly learned that this was no ordinary demon amusement. It was in fact part of the Dungeon Safari brand and that it was run by none other than Rath…

With Al'Qir run off and their cat nap completed, the party is ready to move to the next plane. Everything considered, this episode has some fine things about it. Are you enjoying the show?
