Hickory, dickory, dock. With mice, we now can talk. Their city is cool, but the king is a fool. Hickory, dickory, dock.

Before continuing their search for key cards, our heroes learn more about why the city of Vanguard is so obsessed with light.

Our “heroes” follow their new “friends” to the “Stake House” for some “friendly” gambling (and our “writer” is including too many “air quotes”).

Yenry, Ork, and Puff explore the Festival of Light in search of seedy gangster members of the… Rubicons? Retcons? Dis… rectal… cons?

Our heroes learn more about the city of Vanguard’s Festival of Light and set forth on their quest for the next talisman.

Dragon slayers! Talisman collectors! City saviors (slash destroyers)! Our heroes return to the Valkyrie feeling quantifiably accomplished and ready for their next mission, but not before some more shenanigans with Grimm.
