In Episode 14, our heroes enter a world unlike they've ever known and are soon "recruited" into the folds of the Diamond Ravens.  It's from here they're charged with going on a mission for the guild to retrieve some coin and deal with the man responsible for taking it.  But danger lurks where the gang is heading... let's see if these fledglings can fly.  

This group of heroes may be untested and inexperienced, but they are ready to prove their mettle and forge a new path. What they lack in experience they make up with uncanny humor, an advantage on sarcasm, and attacks of wit. They are ready to fight through the tempestuous storms that will arise. They are ready to face the CritStorm!

The horrors of the orphanage having been vanquished, our hero's enjoy a rest and a hearty breakfast.  But now two items still weigh heavily on their minds:  The Cult of Osybus and the lingering spirit of the boy crying "I'm... cold..."   It's time to get some answers.  It's time, to head back to the library.  However after questioning the Librarian and looking around, things don't seem to be adding up.  It's only when they least suspect it, that our adventurers luck may have just run out.
