Oh. Oh my.

It's time for the party to dramatically lean over a map, point at things, and make strategic choices about where to assign their tactical resources. Because what are the friends you made along the way, if not ablative armor and/or cannon fodder? I mean, uh, loyal battlefield allies! Yes. That.

It's time for one last level up before landing this thing! Everyone grows immeasurably in power, by which I mean incrementally and in a way defined by exact numbers. Basically the same thing. Also, potions are distributed the PCs, as well as the general populace. Because SOCIALISM.

The party crams in some last minute studying before the exam. And by studying, I mean pharmacological research, and by exam, I mean "holding the line against a Corrupted horde." So it's still basically the same as when you learned the entire textbook the day before your class final in college.

Jyessi remembers the forgotten. Grickx carries. Wealdroa's knowledge of coconut magic is tested. Vons does his own research.

Drill time! It's drill time! The party drills the Arx citizenry on what to do in case of a landing during a Corruption onslaught. Will they manage to whip these folks into a focused fighting force? Or is everyone going to be goofing off while the teacher desperately tries to get their attention?

Steamboat Willie's fighting a moose! A corrupted moose! With no backup??? Everyone else scrambles to figure out a way back to help, but in the meantime we get to see how well sheer courage and audacity stack up against over 1000 lbs of raw, furious strength made flesh.

Cool Vons goes around the back. Steamboat slickens his spear. Grickx busts out the Elven. OG Vons claims ownership. Jyessi dreams of bare-knuckle boxing. Wealdroa struggles to discern between the dream and the real.

P.S. Scheduling note: no new episode on 7/8. We'll back on 7/15!
