The Storyteller Squad: Expanded Universe – 02. The Devils Went Down to Florida (featuring Shrimp & Crits)

In this episode, we travel to the small sunny coastal town of Gullacochica, Florida for a swampy southern style adventure. When corpses start to walk the marshes and woods of Tate’s Hell state forest, a local gang of monster hunters may need some reinforcements to deal with the sinister culprit behind these shambling hordes of undead. Join us as Natalie and the cast of Shrimp & Crits play through the 2nd part of our multi-podcast crossover series. Let’s have an adventure!

SPOILER WARNING - This episode contains story beats and details that are drawn from Shrimp & Crits main campaign, up to Episode 45. What Fools These Mortal’s Beans. 

The Storyteller Squad: Expanded Universe is a collaboration series of one-shot adventures featuring Natalie as Keeper, running Monster of the Week for the casts of other ttrpg podcasts. These stories are loosely set within the canon timeline of our main campaign, but are not meant to imply canon events for the other podcast series or characters. Each crossover episode can be enjoyed as a standalone piece of content, however, there is an over-arching storyline connecting each episode to the next. We hope you enjoy this new series as much as we enjoyed making it. Our beloved hunters from Autumn Falls will return with more main campaign episodes once this first round of crossover episodes are released.

Felicity Starnbrook

Profile picture for Felicity Starnbrook
Felicity has always seen things differently than most. Quite literally she can see and speak to the spirits of nature that populate the Earth. This has made it hard for her to connect with others and make friends, but luckily she’s never been truly alone, thanks to her companions Ghostie and Tom. When Felicity becomes friends with the other hunters, you don’t need to be clairvoyant to know that her life will be changed for the better.

Bethany Miller

Profile picture for Bethany Miller
Bethany is a lot. Not many people can handle her disarming intensity, or her razor insight for interpersonal relationships. Bethany may be “just a normal human” when she learns of the supernatural nature of her world, but only a complete fool would miss that Bethany’s magic often shines brighter than any spell. Even so, what could a former sorority president have to offer a group of monster hunters?

Damien Edgecrest

Profile picture for Damien Edgecrest
Damien exists to want things. As a Demon of Envy, the core of his being is a distilled need to possess things that others have. Clothes, knick-knacks, experiences, personality traits, whatever! Damien’s fascination with humans and all the things they enjoy by living on the Earth means his attention and focus are constantly shifting from one must have thing to the next. Can the other hunters befriend and learn to trust such a chaotic and unpredictable being?

Hugo Rashaad

Profile picture for Hugo Rashaad
Hugo is thoughtful and level-headed. A man of few, but decisive words, he guards secrets with an astonishing amount of discipline. Curious then, how a quiet nerdy docent of the Autumn Falls Natural History Museum became involved in the business of monster hunting.

Raven Eugenia

Profile picture for Raven Eugenia
Raven has always been observant. A bit of an introvert, she’s gotten very good at watching others and seeing how patterns connect. When the creatures and events talked about on the message boards of her paranormal blog turn out to be more than works of creative fiction, what is a tech-savvy goth supposed to do? Like it or not, Raven will soon discover a world that is more magical than she ever imagined.

Aidan Brightwood

Profile picture for Aidan Brightwood
Aidan is here to help, whether she’s giving kind words and an attentive ear to the patrons of the Maple Leaf Diner, or creating a barrier of pure celestial energy to protect the other hunters. A celestial of mysterious origins, Aidan’s commitment to protecting others means facing danger without hesitation, but several lifetimes of protecting others is bound to take its toll. Aidan might be able to heal the other hunters of their injuries, but can they manage to help this lonely angel heal from her scars?

Agent Whittaker

Profile picture for Agent Whittaker
Agent Whittaker is a man of focus and action. As a member of the Eastey Agency, Whittaker faces each mission knowing he has the support of a team of experts behind him. Perhaps the only thing this British veteran of monster hunting and paranormal investigation wasn’t prepared for, was befriending a group of young adults from a small rural town in the Pacific Northwest. How will this solo secret agent adjust to being part of a team?
