Meet The Wing Mob, a small mercenary band on their way to deliver their boss' remains to her native sea. Passing through the Countryside of Galthreach, things are tense. There's a civil war on and the busiest merchant corridor has been disrupted by disappearances - neither side knows why. In an effort to make some much needed scratch, Wing Mob quickly become involved in an eerie and highly clandestine contract to escort a strange man down that very route.

Meet Frixa (Josh LaForge), the Tiktani who took Agnes' title as boss - much to the chagrin of her adopted daughter, the chef and fire-casting Krex, Chookie (Cap Blackard). They're joined by the soft spoken and polite, yet immovable as stone Toldun, Grandon (Doug Banks); and Slish (Maxx Wessel) the mustachioed Gelt sea dog - a former merchant marine and faithful Skimmer.

Do Wing Mob have what it takes to rebuild, or will the loss of their leader and disarray under the new administration bring their destruction on this dubious mission?

We go over some mild party drama and talk about how to resolve it, but the real meat of this episode is where we dive off the cliff into the dangerous waters of damage scaling. Our proposed solution is guaranteed to be controversial, but if geeks like us enjoy anything, it's arguing.
