Al Kenet grows tired of the childish games of sneaking around her palace. She is ready to claim the revenge that she has been dreaming of for centuries. The useful idiots that she brought with her have become a nuisance, and they are no longer necessary.  The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of The Jagged Witch, long will she reign. 

A recap through episode 40.

In the dark labyrinth of tunnels beneath the Ashen Queen's palace, Yannick is forced to let Al Kanet lead the quest. Her singular goal is the destruction of the Ashen Queen, and she proves that she will cut down and kill anyone who stands in her way, even the Guardians.

The Guardians finally arrived at the gates of Kaseer, a formidable religious city state that is the seat of power of the Ashen Queen and her coven of Blood Witches. At the Gates, Zaldor reveals his skills in deception, Galen swears another blood oath, and Yannick desperately tries to keep everyone focused on their deadly serious task. But there are many distractions in the city, and their new conspicuous "ally" has an agenda of her own which comes with dire consequences.

Exhausted, wounded, and barely conscious, the Guardians finally stand face to face with the Jagged Witch, Al Kanet. Unfortunately for them, Al Kanet has not been sleeping; she has been waiting for this fatal battle, so that she can once again taste the blood of her fallen enemies, and finally be set free.

After what feels like weeks of travel through the labyrinth of Al Kanet's tomb, the dazed and stupefied heroes descend into the Jagged Witch's final resting place. All they have to do is defeat an entire coven of Forgotten Witches and Skeletal Mages, and submerge their hands in blood... hopefully not their own.

Seeking protection from the Ash Queen’s detection, the Guardians direction must be genuflection but further inspection of the haunting projections shows bloody infection will mean their subjection.

Jeremy recaps through episode 35.

Galen gets fatigued trying to keep up with Geggy's grueling pace through the Jagged Mountains in search for the Tomb of Al Kanet. Fortunately, the path to the tomb is made clear with some help from Jericho's new friend. 

The Heroes were given 10 steps, each one is more harrowing than the last, that must be completed for there to be any chance for them to destroy the corruption in Thave.  Step one is supposed to be a simple blood test, but blood magic, it turns out, is EXTREMELY dangerous!
