Hey, everybody, Grussel here. Thanks so much for listening to D&D and D. And thank you especially for listening to all of these short story episodes.

As we celebrate our little fiction October here as we get through the spooky season and back to regular episodes in November.

In the meantime, though, we are visiting some of our side characters.

Last week we had a Tim story,

and if you follow us on Instagram,

you would have noticed that I had scheduled another Tim story that I had titled Amara for this week,

but I mistimed Beth's availability.

Now, why does Beth's availability matter to the Tim story?

Well, you're going to have to tune in next week to find out. I also said on Instagram that

next week would be a new Rylith story, and I'm going to hold to that, so there's going to be two

new short stories next week. But in the meantime, I figured we need to catch up on our old friend

Rylaith since it's been a long time since we last checked in with him. And it's been a long time

since I revisited these stories. And I've written a lot more fiction since then and have flexed

that muscle a little bit more. So it was interesting for me to go back to these.

I hope it is interesting for you, the listener, as well, some fun little details for the world

in these stories. And we're going to rejoin Rylith next week in his side of the world,

but figured worth a little refresh before we do.

So enjoy all four chapters so far of the Ryleth villain parolog.

Next week we'll have another Tim chapter and we'll have the next chapter of the Rylith story.

Before we finish out October with one more Tim,

and then we'll be back to regular episodes in November.

So thanks so much for checking these out.
