Raiven Barnard as (Number One Ally) Syllavana Perstina

Sami as (Literal Quest Giver) Quveli Carinae

and Alexandr Woodward as everything else


Additional Show Notes:

  • Follow Roll History on Tumblr and I guess Twitter, or what’s left of it! We’re on Bluesky now as well!
  • Episode art—featuring the Bone Fairy herself—by our very own Sami!
  • You can find the show on Spotify, iTunes, Google podcasts, or any podcatcher you like with the RSS feed!
  • We’re also on RF 78.2 Radio Gundam with friend-of-the-show Maxy Bee! You can find that show and more of Maxy’s work over at the Bee Hive!
  • Third party stuff for this one:
    • Chariots of Fire is originally by Vangelis for the film Chariots of Fire. This version, however, was made with GXSCC.
    • The music in the recap was Thrash Machine by Toby Fox, from Deltarune Chapter 1.
    • Trick You is originally by This is the Kit. It’s a lot sweeter than the version in this episode.

Additional Annotations

  • Make Some Noise is a show on Dropout that’s very funny and easy to steal for a warmup game!
  • Sami going ‘I don’t have friendsss‘ in that voice is a reference to one of the many silly moments in BBC Sherlock. It’s from the Hound one.
  • Last Resort is a song by Papa Roach. Classic.
  • The defectors from the Winter Court can be learned about on this very website, in the story recaps of Alex’s other game! The first appearance of one is in SPÖKHUS, Part 2.
  • Lopodite, the Tenth Muse, has a very appropriate name that took a bit of cleverness to come up with. See, Λωποδύτες—pronounced ‘lopodýtis’, and I think literally meaning ‘wolf diver’, though I could be wrong on that—is the Greek word for pickpocket. From there Alex just tacked on the -dite suffix common to other Greek figures, like Aphrodite for example.
  • Eurydice is indeed a very common name for a dryad. You might day it’s the default one. Looking back it’s certainly the most well-known, anyway.
  • Quveli already knows the Bone airy because Sami already knows the Bone Fairy, what with her showing up in regular Roll History episodes like, whenever a bone is mentioned. Which is surprisingly often. She first appears in Sorcerous Origins: Tokyo Drift. She will not leave.
  • We said ‘please don’t give birth’ because Raiven was pregnant at time of recording. It sounds extremely weird to listen back now.

Thanks for listening!
