    ⚔️ Episode 3 — The Half-Ogre Arrives

    The party barely has time to celebrate finishing off the first wave of mercenaries before a Half-Ogre and four new soldiers emerge from the battle fray — and this big guy is laughing. Our crew scrambles to regroup as the fight gets significantly more dangerous!

    Sep 10 2026

    Welcome back to BTB Shorts: BTB Does D&D — the Dungeons & Dragons spin-off from the BTB Movie Club! When we last left our adventurers, they were enjoying the Kingfisher Festival in the town of Vogler on the world of Krynn.

    ⚔️ Episode 2 — The Battle of High Hill:

    The party marches up to High Hill for the annual Battle of High Hill reenactment — only to discover the mercenaries' weapons aren't padded. The town of Vogler has been ambushed and our crew is thrown into full combat against three mounted mercenaries on horseback. Chaos, dice rolls, and absolute carnage ensue!

    Will the mercenaries be defeated? Will the party finally learn how to read their character sheets? Will someone accidentally walk into the fray? Tune in next time to find out!
