A hunt for a missing mother, a primal energy line, and Veena politely transformed into a Tugbert — palm-sized, wide-eyed, beloved. Rahua enlists her as a minion, casts Final Sacrifice to detonate her on purpose, and revives her mid-blast. Baldrick reaches for a club.

The ritual that might save the Amarvid is halfway lit when the lizardfolk pour in and a rot-infected black dragon falls out of the sky. Breath weapons sprout tumours. The party drives it off bleeding. Berdivar has never seen its like — which is, of course, the worst possible answer.

Oren comes home to Fistreach. The festival is louder than usual because the magic is fading, the lizardfolk raids are closing in, and scouts keep coming back as masks. His mother Astrid has been missing for weeks. His father's one request: don't tell him yet.

Boarding action in the eye of a storm. Veena raises her sword, realises the pirate she's duelling is a dying child's wish for company, and lowers it. The puppets collapse. The Hat is hers. Pirate, it turns out, was only ever a costume she wore well.

Ransack a childhood home for leverage. Defend a coastal town from ghosts your blades pass straight through. And while the party is elbow-deep in incorporeal rot, Vicon Sharkskin pockets the real Dread Captain's Hat and vanishes on a sky-whale. Veena dreams of drowning.

Kill the chaos elemental. Stick the landing. Miss a performance check and the crowd opens fire. Halfway through the routine, the rot-clown commandos step out of thin air — invisible to everyone but the party, nearly lethal, and proof the rot itself is hunting them now.

Pamphlets for Sharkskin. Whiskey for Garland. A monster in the arena for Ulis. Every party gold piece on the table, bet on themselves — contingent on Tanhauser shutting up about communism for one entire session. The portcullis rises on an anarchite, already forming.

Veena goes home to Andacia for her own execution. The Dread Captain Volley — her mother — presides. Between a puppet-captain riding a sky-whale, a halfling librarian, and a rot-burner with a bar, the party has twenty-four hours to sponsor Veena off the gibbet.

Payroll argument. A vision of doom. A shopping trip through Racky the Raccsaw's suspiciously permanent on-board general store. And in a new bomb bay, Baldrick quietly reveals the nuclear-grade alchemical device he has been building in secret. Sky-whales on the horizon.

Floating bishops, walls of fire, a stagnation aura — one surrenders mid-cast. Tanhauser sermonises the liberated citadel and leaves Snot on the throne with her mech wired into the airship's belly. As they lift for Andacia, a clown's face reaches up out of the shadows behind her.

Papa Blaze does not accept promises. Tanhauser puts his own left hand on the altar; Rahua swears off ever holding a blade again. The fire-power's blessing lands on their shoulders just as three furious Black Papacy bishops float through the wall.

Kill the general. Ride the elevator — twenty minutes of ka-chunk through a flesh shaft into the Black Papacy's sealed catacombs. A coring charge opens a vampire door, and something charred and robed waits beneath a miniature sun. The Fume Congregant wants payment.

General Dusk the Massive goes down. Then he stands back up. Phase two cracks its knuckles and two biomagi tech guard shuffle in behind him. Rahua, temporarily a horse, picks this exact moment to come back as a person.

Goblins. Desert hobos. Repentant vandals. A murder-balloon christened the Zale Pattern Death Balloon and a fake Southern accent. The siege goes better than anyone dared plan — right up to the citadel gate, where thirty rifles level at once.

Two factions that hate each other, one siege that needs them both. Musketmen on the ridge, a flag of truce on the floor, and Nastrum's battle plan drawn in crayon. Tanhauser takes one look, sighs, and redrafts the fall of the Golgothan Citadel from scratch.

Vandal land-barges. A psychic brain in a jar. The Golgothan Wastes do not do courteous passage. Oren goes full dragon, Snot blows herself up with one of Tanhauser's old glue-bombs, and the wreckage spells it out: the Diktat is hunting Tanhauser by name.

One shift at Blotus the Scarab Merchant's — that's the docking fee. Mr. Rattle forgets which century it is. Tanhauser time-slips and invents dinosaur communism. By closing bell, a goblin revolutionary named Snot rolls up in a walking trash-mech shaped like her own face.

Shadows that punch souls loose from bodies. The party drops Verkallion and climbs down into the engine room to find something worse: Lady Zale, grafted alive into the hull, a face from Tanhauser's past wired to the turbines. He interfaces. The airship flies.

Scout the shipyard. Shake down the drunks. Slip aboard without a scratch. The heist is too clean — and the welcoming committee is Martinet Verkallion, armoured, four-armed, rot-limbed, and extremely interested in who just boarded his ship.

A floating estate. A confession fifteen hundred years overdue. The patron who tried to have them killed is the deposed god the Prince stepped over to ascend, and he's been waiting in the clouds for someone to notice. Intel, leverage, an airship — every gift a debt.

Smuggled into a city they burned, hidden under funeral tarps and a procession of the dead. A cursed list of airship names, an Isocoran war machine, a coring charge through a secret door — and the Hegemon himself on the other side, smiling like he expected them.

A headless maw keeps chomping long after it should have died. When the pac-man finally drops, the real diagnosis lands: Oren's eidolon bond is eating his lifespan. So naturally, the next move is to steal an airship.

Three months off the board. Veena's drunk, Oren can't druid, Rahua's being stalked by something called Racky the Raccsaw. The swamp trading post they're hiding in won't hide them any longer — the urns on the shoreline are moving.

Broken. Destiny-less. Crawling home through the solitude swamps with the knowledge that Marlene played them from the start and the old powers have been sealed away. They trade quiet speeches — Rahua's constellations, Vena's pirate future, Baldric wanting only his bed — and fireflies drift through the reeds around them. Some of those lights don't flicker. Something is watching.

Divine immolation. Ash-simulacra. A pillar of flame converting the Smoldering City into an arena. The party trades blows with Uncle Blaze's avatar and cannot finish the fight — and the amalgamate corners them on the way out. Then Gorgomunger speaks for the first time, a full and formal farewell, and walks alone into the fire to hold it off.

Victrix smuggles a package to the Kaibu. An airship drops into a storm. Underground, Dita and Bjarna move in the dark. In a burning Outset the party cuts down Mr. Ilort's rot-tormented former gang and climbs to the base of the pillar of flame itself — where tiny, ridiculous Ilort sheds his skin and reveals himself as the avatar of Uncle Blaze, god of fire.

The real Sandal Deckland was never the villain — just a pampered boy locked in a cage. The crew hauls him out into an Outset already on fire: coordinated riots, a pillar of flame over the Smoldering City, Vena's stolen airship fleeing toward a storm. Someone has stripped Tanhauser's pamphlets of their principles and weaponized the mob.

Cademan Deckland isn't a man anymore. He's a titanic rot-infested stone face screaming from a cathedral wall, a pulsing brain behind it blasting the party with psychic dubstep. Oran drops. Tanhauser flickers between reality and a ghost-crewed airship. Vena ends it with a sixty-nine-damage plunging crit that shatters the illusion whole.

Mallet-lady. Scythe grifter. A diver. A cowled organ harvester. The rival crew smashes through the wall claiming the cathedral as their find, just as a Transylvanian Deacon starts a Simon-Says game that literally unpersons Tanhauser for a misspelling. Rahua divines the whole complex is a screaming rot-infected stone brain. Elsewhere, Tanhauser opens a door and falls onto an airship.

It isn't one fairy. It's five. Five bile-spitting duplicates with giant gloved grab-hands and an aura that rips molars out mid-combat as persistent bleed. The crew grinds through it on healing mist-bombs and temporal spell-strikes, only to push past the corpse-sludge and find something impossible in the dark: an entire intact cathedral of the Black Papacy, buried under Outset.

First they recruit Steward, a vitamin-dispensing service robot, into the revolution. Then they step through an archway into a rot-grown forest buried beneath the manor, where giggling fey sprites begin magnetically tearing the teeth out of Vena's skull. The trees part — and a fifty-foot crocodilian horror with a room-sized sack steps forward. Hello, Tooth Fairy.

Aeon stones. Armor runes. Pemmican energy treats for a newly hatched Gorgomunger. The crew retreats to Blotus the fly-merchant's stall to gear up — until Rahua talks Tanhauser into pickaxing Crunch's floorboards "for dirt" and finds a primal scrying crystal rooted in the foundations. Someone has been listening to every word in Baldric's house.

The walls have started weeping. Black sap in the wainscoting, mold blooming in the shape of faces, a smell that follows them between rooms. Whatever is wearing Sacristy Manor like a suit has stopped pretending to be a house. Somewhere below, the real master is very much still awake.

The house is bigger than it should be. A wing that wasn't there yesterday. A staircase that doubles back on a room nobody entered. Sacristy Manor keeps folding new corridors out of rot and memory, and the deeper the party goes, the less the architecture wants to let them leave.
