Relic forces a fateful encounter with Justice Cromwell and gets a glimpse of a truth behind his secret machinations. Finally, the gang discovers the jail to be less empty than the Sheriff had claimed; and inside, a powerful ally awaits!

The gang confronts the townsfolk in the midst of a bizarre ritual. Neko acts quickly to free Lil Timmy from the clutches of the townsfolk while the rest of the party fends off the others. A battle ensues for like, this whole episode. And then right at the end, something else happens! Just listen to it, ok?

The gang attends the harvest festival at the nearby Grumpy Kangaroo Tavern. They meet with the stable master, Loreena Cloudfang, and arrange to rent their griffons the following morning. Neko notices that Lil Timmy is not in attendance, and alerts Justice Cromwell to his absence. Gorlax puts on a performance that just absolutely rips so much ass that the town's bagpipe player immediately gives up on all his dreams and Gorlax earns one level of Renown. Justice eventually leaves the festival with two of his aides, and Lil Timmy is still nowhere to be found. The party follows them just outside of town only to stumble upon a shocking ritual, and being to discover the devastating secret truth about the town.

The gang arrives in Secomber, greeted by the head of the town council, Justice Cromwell. He and his son, Lil Timmy, welcome the party to the town and invite them to the harvest festival later that evening. They stop by the Heavy Hearts Inn to procure their lodging, and have some strange interactions with the hotelier. They have a run-in with the Sheriff and a passive aggressive man who kinda just hangs out on her porch. As they speak with the townsfolk, they begin to discover that not all may be as it seems in this small town...

The gang fends off an assault from some nasty locals. Relic makes use of his new Old Town Boots and Hat to mount one of the creatures, while Gorlax does everything in his power to remove Relic from said mount. Neko tests out a new item to take some creative maneuvers around the battlefield. She also learns a startling secret about her magical whip, Coilbaby.

The gang spends some time exploring the headquarters of the Whispering Blades. Everybody speaks a bunch of crazy shit into existence, and Gorlax finds religion. The Slippery Swords head off to Secomber to procure some Griffon mounts and check out a floating castle. Relic rides a snake.

The gang gets held back from pursuing the first Pillar by some routine onboarding procedures. They meet the head of HR, who conducts a group interview to learn a little more about our party's pasts. Secrets are revealed, lies are exposed! They learn a lot about livin' and a little about love.

The Season 1 finale! The gang hangs out at the Whispering Blades HQ, are officially dubbed the Slippery Swords, and learn a little more about their mysterious enemy. Everybody gets some sweet magic items and Jeff finds a couple windows to jump through, somehow.

The gang checks out Baldur's Gate as their new friend Engelbert shows them around. They meet someone close to Climbo, and a bartender causes Relic to have an existential crisis. They make their way to the Whispering Blades HQ and meet a very big man, even bigger than Gorlax. It's not a trick of perspective. He's really very big.

The gang confronts Larry and the zombified engineer at the front of the train as it barrels towards Baldur's Gate. They learn of Larry's intentions, work to recover the stolen cargo, and weigh the cost/benefit analysis of stopping the train before it kills them and a bunch of innocent civilians. This episode concludes the Manslaughter on the Ironbound Express arc.
