Episode 84: After offering a conversation, Yaesef Strafsoman reveals his true colors when he tries to kill one of the Four! The fight simmers low, and he reveals his desire for Tasha to join him in Zagrin's place, running Strafsoman's End. As she refuses, he summons his lover and his creations and begins an all-out attempt to kill Tasha and all her companions! A battle of spell vs. counterspell, animated skeleton vs. living warrior, and twisted creation vs. dedication ensues, and when their nemesis Parc is at their mercy, and pleading for such, the group is faced with a moral dilemma: Should they agree to her surrender and try to deliver her to the rightful authorities in Aermagh, or take justice into their own hands?

Episode 83: Zagrin Strafsoman has been dealt with and now, with Leena's help, the Four and their allies head into the gated section of the 'End known as Strafsohome. After hiding from Strafshome guards and investigating a warehouse, Vines is able to sniff out (literally) the secret door leading into the stables of Yaesef's Keep. Once inside, the group encounters some formidable animated armor, then heads to the second floor in pursuit of the Zuaran Cleric, Parc, who they believe to be with Yaesef. After fighting a quartet of odd, lightning-fast black skeletons in plate armor, the group is addressed magically by Yaesef himself, instructing Tasha to come into a specific room so that they can 'talk.'

Episode 82: After watching the house of Yeleen, Zagrin Strafsoman's mistress, for hours, the Four and their allies determine that he's not going anywhere for the evening and decide to attempt to tackle him there. After Gwenlaryn and Athgarr manage to take out his personal guard outside, the group enters the house. Yeleen gets up to investigate the creaking of the floor and is sent to another room until it's safe. Unfortunately, when Gwenlaryn enters Zagrin's bedroom, he's awake and armed. A fight ensues which almost costs one of the group their life, but ends in a more or less satisfactory way. Then Leena arrives to take care of Yeleen and her children as the Four head out toward Strafshome, hoping that the promised distraction from Leena's group will allow them quick and easy access through the gates, and then it'll be off to Yaesef's Keep and the final confrontation with the leader of Strafsoman's End, and the third (and hopefully final) confrontation with the evil cleric Parc!

Episode 81: Navigating Strafsoman's End is a perilous undertaking. From the sheer awfulness of the Menagerie to the squalid conditions at the Laughing Orc, the "city" feels more foreign than anywhere else the Four+ have traveled! After a run-in with a mysterious old woman, the adventurers and their companions retire to Tasha's mansion to plan, and Gwenlaryn scouts the location the old woman has asked them to travel to which seems to be a trap. Choosing to spring the trap, five of the eight companions enter the farm while the other three remain outside, ready to charge in at a moment's notice! What they find inside, however, isn't what they expected, and has them heading off to surveil the home of Zagrin Strafsoman's mistress, Yeleen, in preparation for an assassination!

Episode 80: The Four+ meet with the Serpent of the Sand and discover that there is an ancient compact, which the metallic dragons are still honoring, that prohibits their getting involved with non-dragon-related conflicts. She does, however facilitate a little non-combat help from Seolreossa, the leader of the Copper Sept. And, after a little love-help from Athgarr, Zorith teleports everyone to the cherry grove at the Faelefiri Sanctum, where they pick up their last helper and spend the night in Tasha's Magnificent Mansion! In the morning, it's north to the clearing where they meet Seolreossa, who ferries them across the northern straits to the shore just east of Strafsoman's End. After Tasha casts Seeming to turn them all into Druid petitioners headed for the Enclave, they get their first glimpse of the 'End. After a forced walk around the southern side of the city, they finally make into "The Paddock," the public part of the 'End.

Episode 79: The Four journey to Lord Bonethane's keep to delivery a tapestry commissioned by Aribell from her mother as a gift. He is suitably impressed, and offers the heroes some advice after they reveal their intention to attempt the liberation of Strafsoman's End. They then head to the home office of Sulash Vetrimyn, the tailor recommended by Lady Thebes' maid Way, so Gwenlaryn can commission suitable ambassadorial robes. They travel back to Thebes Manor to consult with Lady Thebes on the issue of having offended the nobility of Aermagh. After welcoming Nuhk to the group, and having a quick planning session via Gwen's rope trick spell, it's back to the protected walls of the Lord's audience hall in the keep, where Zorith teleports the group to the Tower of Azinor. There, Obras helps them contact the Master Enchanter, who agrees to loan them magical protection against scrying. After attuning to the items, the group then teleports to Thunder's Edge, where Aralahkis has a surprising but welcome bit of information to share with them!

Episode 78: After a tense breakfast caused by Athgarr and Gwenlaryn fighting again, Tasha decides to make her feelings on their seeming intolerance of one another known to both of them individually. Then, while Tasha, Aribell, Zorith, and Gwenlaryn strategize, Athgarr goes out by himself to pick up cold-weather gear, among other things. After thinking their way through the possibilities of how they're being watched, they determine that extra-dimensional spaces will safeguard them. After meeting with very old friends who now work for Lord Thebes, the Four+ climb into an extra-dimensional pocket via the "Rope Trick" spell and begin figuring out possible strategies for taking down the powers-that-be in Strafsoman's End. Following that, they head to the Shouting Pirate to check in on the convalescing Jojo, and figure how to meet with Viessa in a safe, non-scryable space, to get her advice on their plans for Strafsoman's.

Episode 77: After a surprise visit to the Shouting Pirate from Captain Warbender, the Four+ begin discussing the reclaimation of Strafsoman's End, asking Warbender to secure them some additional manpower. They then head off to Thebes Manor for a dinner with Aribell's parents. After a surprise disclosure from Lord Ormond about Athgar's impending arranged marriage, and after getting a chance to clean up, the group joins Lord Ormond and Lady Lahrana for a meal that, too, provides its share of surprises in the form of unexpected information about Zorith's ongoing transformation. After dinner, Ormond offers the Four+ some sage advice, and a bit of assistance, regarding their plans for "The End."

Episode 76: Stopping in at the Shouting Pirate on their way to Thebes Manor, the Four+ find out some startling news about the fate of the previous "Adventurers Four." As they leave, they are ambushed by a large, coordinated force, causing the Four+ to magically retreat to safety. Unfortunately, by the time they return to the scene of the attack, someone who came to help them died in the attempt. The Four+ journey with the body of their fallen friend to Luck's Lodge, the temple of Khostus in Aermagh, to see if they can right this wrong and return their friend to the world of the living.

Episode 75: While escorting the Clever Sprite down to Aermagh where it will be dry-docked and hidden away until the Platinum Hammer can be dealt with, the Four+ and the crew are attacked by two White Dragons which come up out of the river! The fight is intense, and the injuries are quite severe, but eventually the Sprite continues on its way to Aermagh, where Viessa Vexx's plan is set into motion and the Sprite is secreted away in a sea cavern! After securing the ship, the Four+ discuss what they should do next, and settle on going to visit Aribell's parents, and perhaps impose on their hospitality, but first they decided to stop in and see Jojo at the Shouting Pirate.
