October 11, 2019 Episode Sixty-Three: Warden of Execution - Part Two
The Bronze Scales spend time delving into research at the library. Ellory seeks council in the storm, Vesper puts her tenets to the test, and Bál’s long forgotten past begins to catch up with him. Realizing there is no more time to wait, the party settles on one last bit of business within Embershore: break into the prisons below Rothburn Rook, and face down the city’s executioner.

September 25, 2019 Episode Sixty-One: Covenants and Prophecy
The Bronze Scales present their evidence to the Covenant, and the guards spring into action to begin dismantling the conspiracy. While they work, the Scales talk with their families about how their lives are changing, and with one another about where to go next. Bál receives a strange vision, Vesper and Felix take a trip to the beach, and then the party sets to work on the wicked machine beneath the Winery.
Note: Due to technical difficulties, the first half of this episode went unrecorded. We stopped playing as soon as we realized what was happening, sorted out the issues, and continued with the second half of the episode. Klouse graciously recaps what was lost.
Note: Alex was absent this session.

September 20, 2019 Episode Sixty: Soul Vault - Part Two
With Mr. Belvedere defeated, the Bronze Scales explore the other chambers in the Winery’s cellar, finding frightened prisoners of both human and inhuman origin. Elle takes a peek inside the crystal ball, and discovers a pocket dimension filled with both horrors and proof of their case against the Winery. The Scales rush in, tangling with a trio of tieflings, and racing to stop a profane ritual from reaching completion.

Committed now to their goals, The Bronze Scales and their new draconic ally press deeper into the halls of the Winery’s Cellar, fighting through fiends until they come face to face with Mr. Belvedere himself.
