About this episode

The party navigates the dangers of the Witherbloom campus while searching for elusive mascots in a chaotic magical adventure.

📚 Welcome to Sanctum Arcanum! 📚 Sanctum Arcanum is an actual-play D&D 5e podcast using the official Strixhaven: Curriculum of Chaos module, expanded with original worldbuilding, character-driven storytelling, and high-stakes magical adventure.✨ In This Episode… The hunt remains contained within the tangled, humid depths of the Witherbloom campus , but the danger is spreading.

As the party pushes deeper into the overgrowth to find the Lorehold Stone Cat and the Silverquill Ink Blob , the heavy atmosphere of the jungle mirrors the lingering tension between them. The mascots are out there, but in this wilderness, the party might find that the environment itself is just as prickly as the creatures they’re…
