August 06, 2019 Episode Fifty-Three: Life or Undeath - Part One
With Amsen enthralled and Vesper in chains, the other Bronze Scales have quite the battle ahead of them, and the odds are far from in their favor. Struggling to reunite, Ellory hatches a plan for a quick escape, and an unexpected ally may turn the tide. The fight for freedom and survival will be difficult, and sacrifices will have to be made if our heroes hope to live to see another day.
Note: Katie was absent this session.

July 31, 2019 Episode Fifty-Two: Diplomacy - Part Two
The Bronze Scales wake in their prison cell, but quickly grow concerned when it seems as though Braun’s hospitality is waning and his promises begin to feel hollow. Concluding that their only hope for freedom is to take matters into their own hands, the party does just that. Amsen and Vesper undertake a mission to locate and retrieve Meli’s components and wand, while the other Scales hold their position in the dungeon. With the alarm raised and the odds against them, the party’s survival hangs in a delicate balance, and one wrong move or failed spell could mean disaster for them all.

July 31, 2019 The Woodlands Job - Part Two
Deep in the Enchanted Valley, an unlikely heist team comes together for the score of a lifetime. Relying on a mixture of dumb luck and expert skill, the four creatures will have to enter the fortress of the Purple Prince, locate his treasure room, relieve him of a beloved sword (and as much gold as they can carry), and escape with their lives. How hard can it be?

July 31, 2019 Episode Fifty-One: Friend or Foe II
In the heart of Fel’Nor, the Bronze Scales find that the residents of this dark place have as much interest in them as they have in the Factions. The arrival of the Shadow Dragon seems to have set something into motion, and the wheel of fate begins to turn faster. Resolving to spend the night in relative safety under the Embassy, the party gets more answers from- and about- their host, and begins to debate what path to walk from the crossroads where they currently stand.
