While they find out the identity of the Red Robin and their lieutenants, they find out there is more to this story than they first knew: an army veteran of the Marquisade has organized previous marks into a militia and is chasing them Red Robin into Eyrie territory...and right next to an ancient barrow mound and a bear's den. Afterlife: Wandering Souls (Session 2 of 4) Ludovico Alves runs for David Walker, Leandro Pondoc, Pearl Zare, and Sabine V. A dinner turns awkward when the host is revealed to be a bunch of caste imperialists and colonizers. The Tenebris reveals itself a cold and scorching place interrupted only by guzzling gasoline and drumming dragon riders.

After last session's confrontation with the Fenland Outlaws, a more pressing challenge threatens Synhamm.
