An unexpected enemy from Mitch's earlier travels in this strange land has arrived on the field of battle, changing the complexion of the travelers' efforts to keep the caravan safe. What was to be a simple defense against a mindless foe has become a fully-pitched battle with commanders in a war of wit and will-- and every human life on the line.

Some pretty exciting news, and a smattering of listener mail questions answered.

Rob is joined by Co-Host Ben Hatton, along with players Dan and Jhan, to discuss Missing Pieces, the first non-prologue arc of the campaign, and look back on the first appearances of long-running characters and conflicts for the show. A structural note: If you're just wanting to get the recap, stop listening when the recap is done. We continue from there into behind the scenes discussion, and then future spoilers through The Princess's Tale arc of Season 3.
