The crew of the Romy escape the keedva nest and a Luxan captain to hide out and spend credits at a Commerce Station. Then they turn in one of their own for a big payday, but don't worry, they're totally going to spring him once they get paid. It's the BEST PLAN.

Oathbreakers (Session 1 of 2)
Jamila R. Nedjadi runs for Leandro Pondoc, Sam Z., and Steven S.

Leandro Pondoc runs for Bryan, Chris Newton, Dan Pucul, and David Morrison
After a long, weary march, the Legion have emerged blinking into the frosty air and made it to Skydagger Keep. But they have scant hours to prepare as the forces of the Cinder King move to crush all resistance to it. Before the storm though, the Legion finds time to take a breath. Oaths resworn, comradeship reforged, proven warriors given new mantles, the Legion stands tall, ready to take whatever come their way.

Ultraviolet Grasslands: The World's Edge (Session 2 of 4)
Horst Wurst runs for Dan Brown, Dennis Matheson, Fraser Simons, and Puckett

Our gang of hardened toughs and scoundrels move to take on the Fog Hounds amidst a wave of strange snuff not for profit or vengeance but for the sake of a foolhardy brother and the sibling who pleaded to them for help. Slider gets the attention of a dangerous assassin, Magpie swims through a canal to come out on top, Redcoat takes the fight to a bear of an opponent and the Widow Penderyn bakes a mean basket of scones.

Hearts of Wulin: Court of Shadows (Session 3 of 4)
Lowell Francis runs for Dr. Jason Cox, Richard Moser, Scot Ryder, and Steven Watkins

Secret Science Sewer Siblings: Critter Power!
Alexi S. runs for Rich Rogers, Stentor Danielson, and Tony Vasinda
The sewer siblings go bananas when they return to their sewer lair and find their mentor's been nabbed!

Our team of super-spies comes in for a debriefing to find out why they left the rental car at the airport, fed chocolate to the dolphin commando squad, and somehow switched the locations of Cyprus and Cuba.
