Here is Part Three! Previously: After a battle, the motley crew known as the Hodgepodge Hearts escaped with an extra member shish-kebabed onto one of them. What will happen next? Will she join their cause, will they eat her (she is a mushroom, can’t be half bad)? FIND OUT! In Part 3! Also, I had so much fun doing Marstryd’s voice. I hope you enjoy! Synopsis: Meet the Hodgepodge Hearts and those who seek them. Any one up for a little cat and mouse?

Trigger warning: In chapter 21 the "r" word is used. The act is not described at all, but since I know the word can trigger people who have suffered, I want to make sure they can enjoy the story safely. Here is a link to the censored version of the same chapter, minus the word: https://youtu.be/XMUXRX0ou8s Please take care of yourself. Remember: Desensitization is not throwing yourself into water and hoping you don’t drown. It’s slow exposure done over time with a trained professional. Welcome to Part 4! Last time on Hero's Heart: We met the Hodgepodge Hearts and their afflictions, and the villainous Lord Raevith as he took his anger out on the people around him. As well as clay that smells like bacon. WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? Find out in PART 4. Synopsis: Delilah learns more about herself, even though she doesn’t want to. Tla-hum has a glorious time, it's basically a beach episode for her, and Marstryd is just glad to watch, while Al gets to set it all up. But at last all good things must come to an end. Find out how. Oh, I forgot to mention for the last episode, but all the transformations ("afflictions") are done per Daggerheart rules except for Al, he is following the rules my partner and I created, which they posted to Reddit. Here is the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/daggerheart/comments/1qgv2m5/shapeshifter_homebrewalt_rules/ Basically, the official rules only let a shape-shifter change forms once per day, and we thought it would be more fun if you could do it multiple times. With our rules, you can change as many times as you want, but every time you do, you lose some memories ("Experiences" in the official rules language), and have to spend an action during a rest to get them back. You know what they say: They best part of waking up is shapeshifting throughout your day. I might be wrong about that, but I’m pretty sure I’m right. If you hate it, just pretend he's sleeping when he glows. PROBLEM SOLVED.

Trigger warning: In chapter 25, a character undergoes a traumatic, torturous event, which may be triggering for some people. I have uploaded a synopsis of the chapter, which will allow people who may find this chapter difficult to hear to get the plot elements regardless: https://youtu.be/SjATUm33qnA Please take care of yourself.
