July 31, 2019 Episode Twenty-Three: The Devil's Cut - Part 2
The Bronze Scales continue their search for answers to the questions plaguing them, but set their troubles aside when a familiar face turns up at the docks. Reunited with Meli at long last, the party discusses what to do with the strange items they’ve been smuggling, and the solution leaves many unhappy. As Ezekiel tries to clear his head, he stumbles upon signs of a great evil, and the Scales decide to take up arms against another creature bearing an ancient curse.
Note: Swan was absent this session... most of it.
