Gauntlet Calendar

Free from the Yoke (Session 3 of 7)
Alun R. runs for Alex Greenshields, Dan Brown, Jason Zanes, and Joe F
As the Chisel & Mallet try to make progress on the Highway of the Wise, Salah of the Shining Path undermines the project and engineers the fall of his own High Priest. Perhaps emboldened by this, The Cursed change the balance of power in the city of al Tariq, taking coin from the Church. Meanwhile the Jezdec Horselords investigate the Place of Bones to discover a threat to their way of life that requires Gerel the Vagabond to call in a debt on the recently revealed 'Pilgrims' to have them join the defence of the Steppes. Then, Kasthera of the Chisel & Mallet leads an embassy into the Riverlands where her bodyguard, Durin, confronts the 'Marauding Serpents' with shock and awe, buying time for Elina of the Cursed to protect some innocents and Verhalf 'The Falcon', to place the Riverfolk under the protection of the Wise...and there's an Army of Imperial Dead...

Xcrawl World (Session 3 of 3)
Rich Rogers runs for Greg G., Marc Majcher, Mark (they/them), and Steven Watkins
DBB Finale! - Zaster's Disasters enter the final room and finish the crawl! Then, we follow them outside the dungeon to see them in a snowy not New York.

Swords of the Serpentine: Ill Met in Eversink (Session 5)
Lowell Francis runs for Alexi S., Brandon Brylawski, Keith Stetson, and Robbie Boerth
The group follows leads from their case--leading to a wraithful break-in at a murdered assassin's house and a night at the opera, but all roads lead to the pungent Tanner's District and a confrontation with a sorceress who faked her death before, but less so now.

Copperhead County (Session 1 of 4)
Donogh runs for Chris, Ian, and Will H
Switching the focus of our ‘Western Crime’ series to the modern day; we meet the Harris Hellraisers, running the Lucky No.7 bar on the outskirts of Bright City...embroiled in a war between the Barretts and Carter mobs.

Free from the Yoke (Session 4 of 7)
Alun R. runs for Alex Greenshields, Dan Brown, Jason Zanes, and Joe F
Salah of the Shining Path is determined to further undermine the Highway of the Wise and convinces several groups within the Church to support him. Meanwhile, the Cursed launch their seasonal festival but the Jezdec Horselords are shocked when their Khan attends while an army of Imperial Dead menaces the steppe. They look elsewhere for leadership. Chisel and Mallet Ambassador, Kassie, is certain that someone is undermining her efforts to support the Wise so finds somewhere 'safe' for the Riverland Engineers. Then ... a warehouse heist and an ancient steppe ritual; the Dead confronted and a potent Fist; and the sun rises in the south on heroes riding out of history and into myth.

Copperhead County (Session 2 of 4)
Donogh runs for Ian, Sabine V., and Will H
'Western Crime' is the name of the game as the Hellraisers aim to take down three proverbial birds with one stone, taking down a van full of cash from the 'El Rey' Casino, blaming it on their enemy Baron Carter and his allies the Heathens MC, and ruining the return-home gig of rival Patton Price.

Swords of the Serpentine: Ill Met in Eversink (Session 6)
Lowell Francis runs for Alexi S., Brandon Brylawski, Keith Stetson, and Robbie Boerth
The group runs down further leads in an effort to figure out which of their two suspects is involved and what means they have for taking them down...leading to a final confrontation on an opera hall stage.

The Veil: Iterations (Session 14)
Lowell Francis runs for Ethan Harvey, Patrick Knowles, Sherri, and Tyler Lominack
The retrieval of a Dollbot leads to miscommunications, a ramen debacle, and a confrontation about literal life choices. On the other hand, the rest of the team looks into dealing with the eco-powered serial killer they decided to not pursue earlier.

Star Wars Saturday

Justice Velocity (Session 2)
Rich Rogers runs for Ethan Harvey, Greg G., Paul Rivers, and Sabine V.
The Neon Quarter Podrace involves lots of cheating in the sewers, you know.
