EPISODE 10 – CLEANSING FLAMES – What is the truth?

Talisk, Cervello, and Toskrin descend into the velvet-draped depths of Damian’s brothel — a place where secrets burn brighter than candles and every indulgence hides a purpose. To return to their own timeline, they must face the Trials of Madness, a ritual shrouded in chaos and divine fire, said to open a path to the elusive god, Hermes.

One by one, they are plunged into visions and temptations, forced to confront impossible choices, haunting memories, and the weight of their own pasts. In the flickering heat of revelation, loyalties waver and illusions crack.

When the flames die down, a single question lingers: What is the truth?
And are they truly ready to hear it?

Toskrin, Talisk, and Cervello step into London, only to find everything has changed. The city is familiar yet twisted, and Vaelor delivers a chilling truth—they aren’t who they were. In this reality, Toskrin is a lost addict, Talisk and Cervello are still criminals, and their pasts are far darker than they remember.

Seeking answers, they track a mysterious blacksmith’s sigil, only to come face to face with Jeb, who knows them—but not as the heroes they thought they were. To speak with a god, he tells them, they’ll need Damian’s help… a name that carries more danger than comfort.

As unsettling letters arrive, the party is left with one terrifying question: Are they trapped in a fate they can’t escape?
