The battle for the Arx reaches its thrilling conclusion! The majority of the party scrambles to prevent massive casualties inside the shield. Meanwhile Cool Ranch is trapped outside as he tries to find a way to rescue Lucky and not die in the process. Just a good, light, funny episode. Clearly. Grickx embodies heavy metal.…

The shield is finally descending! In mere moments, the Arx will be protected from the Corrupted army outside their city. Unfortunately, they’ve still got enemies inside and allies outside. Can they make the switch in time? Wealdroa puts up walls between themselves and others. Steamboat Willie knows even morally ambiguous badasses need help sometimes. Nacho…

The party desperately fights to prevent the door being breached, keep their people from being taken, and take down fuck-off-giant knights. And there’s *still* a damn dragon to deal with, even if its mouth is glued shut. Fun times! Wealdroa rolls the dice. Steamboat gasses his allies. Cool Ranch Vons falls with style. Grickx precisely…

A cavalry charge plunges through the Arx defenders, and the party tries to stop it any way they can. They’re going to take all the king’s horses and all the king’s men, and make sure they can never, ever be put back together again. Hopefully. Steamboat Willie starts a merger. Nacho Cheese Vons makes his…

The Arx tries the fast way down. After all, what’s a little terminal velocity between a flying mountain and a hard place? Plus, it probably still counts as a landing if you’re in contact with the surface at the finish, even if you’re in several thousand far-flung pieces. Really, if you think about it, crashing…

Okay, phew. That’s the first wave (almost) down, and (mostly) everyone’s still alive. What else could they have to throw at the Arx? Oh. Oh my. Grickx gets notified. Wealthy leaves no footprints in the sand. Cool Ranch Vons has a nice chat. Jyessi reunites with an old friend. Nacho Cheese Vons gets broken glass…

The defense of the Arx continues as it descends slowly towards the ground. It’s even doing so in a controlled fashion! So that’s nice. Less nice are the corrupted infantry, tigers, and minotaurs, oh my! Grickx is ready to fly the Bug Stomper. Nacho Cheese Vons brings the frag to his grenade. Jyessi keeps firm…

Let’s land this thing! It’s a giant mountain, how hard can it be? The party forms ranks with the rest of the defenders of the Arx and stands ready to take on whatever the Corruption will throw at them. Perhaps literally. Steamboat Willie works an angle. Jyessi gives Annie Oakley a run for her money.…

It’s time for the party to dramatically lean over a map, point at things, and make strategic choices about where to assign their tactical resources. Because what are the friends you made along the way, if not ablative armor and/or cannon fodder? I mean, uh, loyal battlefield allies! Yes. That. Check us out online! We’re…
