Back in the tunnels beneath United City, the gang has run out on the Ealings Outpost Town and find their way into Morlock Facilities West.

July 17, 2023 Dreams of Saretta Ep10: 'I Spy With My Little Scry'
It's one fight after another as the gang comes out of the wreckage of the Tomb of Rogon with fists swinging. They've got a race against the clock to get back across the desert and make the antidote that can save not only Tük, but also Alluin, Reveriel, and Dyrt from slowly turning to stone. Will these heroes live to fight another day?

*Dreams of Saretta is an improvisational show in nature and strong language may be used throughout. Our goal is to keep this show light but also meaningful, so if we fall into scenes that are difficult to listen to, we ask that you look after yourselves.

It's Jack Watts and Company versus the world this week in United City: 2173

Welcome back to United City - or should I say, welcome to the Underground!

June 12, 2023 United City Ep8: 'Sssee it. Sssay it. Sssorted.'
Welcome back to United City! Having dropped (quite literally) Jack Watts off with The Black Hand, the remaining trio rest for the evening in V's flat above the bar and make a few revelations about themselves and who this figure may be, before being whisked down below the surface of the city, into the abandoned rail system that once made up the Underground, where they meet the strange and horrifying Dr. Alter Coti and his top officer, Aurin.

Content Advisory:
1:30:30-1:30:40: Direct threat of torture.

May 28, 2023 United City Ep7: 'Minutes to Midnight'
Trapped in The GamesHouse with a now-unconscious, but possibly still possessed, Jack Watts, the gang needs to make a break for it as the clock comes winding down and the New Year is upon us: could these new tidings bring about something much larger and much stranger afoot? And where do they turn for help in their investigation into the murdered Cloy Breck and their new companion's larger problems?
