Linc and the gang have Callista’s dormantus, but can they escape through the cultists and the… um… “happy to see you” polyps?

A mob of cultists, polyps that want Billy, Alarm Mushrooms, and more–It’s wall-to-wall carnage as Callista’s defenses dig in to stop the theft.

Thanks to a resurgent Cray-Cray Bray, Linc and the gang got past the Alarm Mushrooms and have just entered the polyp chamber. It’s time to meet the cultists, see the evil Callista has wrought, and experience the moving trauma that are the free-ranging polyps.

Mercutio wants out of this nightmare, Dante wants Callista’s dormantus, Lincoln wants his son back, Cray-Cray and Faceless want their gold, Magda wants to help Linc, and wants to protect Billy.

And Billy? He wants his booty left alone.

Magda, who controls the Cursed Armor of Sir Arnault the Pure, continues to carry the comatose Cray-Cray Bray. Lincoln realized he’s using those around him in a way not that different from how Callista uses him—without kidnapping their children and putting them in purgatory, guarded by a huge Naga, of course—but still.

Billy knows he must control his fire-that-is-not fire if the quest is to succeed.

Dante and Faceless, who is posing as Callista herself, lead the way.

Dante Oganov, the Adidas tracksuit-wearing goblin drug lord, is closer than ever to getting the goods on Callista. He’s about to learn why no one has ever before penetrated her booby-trapped catacombs located deep beneath the Anwick Poison Gardens.

With Cray-Cray Bray still in a coma, the gang heads toward the next trap—the gravity chamber. 

Linc needs to keep his mind on the job, yet his thoughts drift toward his son, trapped on the Shelf, and the dressing down he got from Faceless in the last episode.

The bounty hunter known as Icepick—one word, thank you very much—is hoping to track down the Cursed Armor of Sir Arnault the Pure, and thereby locate Callista’s boytoy Mercutio. Icepick’s research set him on a path to find someone from the “verdant” school of magic. He thinks he has just such a candidate. Now, to pay a little visit.

Meanwhile, Lincoln, Dante, Billy, Mercutio, Faceless—who is the spitting image of Callista—and Magda—who controls the Cursed Armor and carries the unconscious bioarcaneist Cray-Cray Bray—have made it past the ironbane vines and the Poison Pool. Now they head toward the next test.
