Can you ever truly go home again? This week, we follow Ren back to the scent of beeswax and the ghosts of his past in Chapter 2 of J.R. Lynmead's A Scribe’s Plight. But home isn't the refuge he remembers—it's a trap waiting to be sprung.

Join the Oracle and the Outcast as we dissect the 'half-eaten cheese' theory of grief and witness the moment Ren trades his scrolls for survival. Plus, the Guild grows as we welcome a new, sharp-tongued member: The Warden, who has a few 'tactical grievances' with Ren’s survival skills. We dive deep into the mechanics of the mysterious broken compass—is it a beacon of hope, or a vacuum to nowhere?
