First, a plan of wits and filth. Vesper and Maela use a disgusting disguise to bypass the Knights guarding their path. Then, a plan of pure intimidation. Vesper confronts a bureaucratic guard with a quiet threat so terrifying it opens the doors to the Guildmaster himself.

Some secrets are worth dying for. Some are worth killing for.

A Blade and a Ghost must now work together. As they navigate a city on high alert, Vesper's instinct is to kill the guards blocking their path. Mayla, remembering Alard's wisdom, insists on a subtler approach—one that will risk their dignity far more than their lives.

Some secrets are worth dying for. Some are worth killing for.

Karch's attempt to legitimize his rule through a Guildmaster's Council backfires. While the honorable Quinto agrees to attend, Polo's reply is a masterpiece of political insult—a declaration of war by letter. Blocked at every turn, Karch abandons diplomacy for a more devious plan.

Some secrets are worth dying for. Some are worth killing for.

Believing he finally understands true power, Jasper takes Karch's lesson to heart. He brings "order" to the ravaged Flats with a campaign of small, precise acts of brutality, convinced that this time, he is earning his commander's praise.

Breakfast at the Miller estate is full of surprises. Ralan's father reveals a softer side, sharing stories of a supportive mother, a support Larsen senior didn't quite agree with. But this newfound peace is just a performance, and behind closed doors, Rebecca reveals the true, vile nature of the man she was just charming.

To find a safe place to study their prize, Ralan returns to the last place he ever wanted to be: his childhood home. The reunion with his cold, calculating father is as hostile as he feared, forcing Rebecca to step in as his unexpected and ferocious defender.

The quest for Pietro's memories begins not with a journey, but with a series of debates. Kray must first convince his own skeptical lieutenants of the mission's true, world-altering importance, and then decide on a dangerous strategy: to travel not as warriors, but as harmless scholars.

Some secrets are worth dying for. Some are worth killing for.

This is a special bonus episode of The Thieves Guild, showcasing the grimdark fantasy audiodrama, The Scum Kings.

Meet the Scum Kings! A dysfunctional band of bottom-feeding marauders led by the ruthless Dray. They are NOT clever masterminds or noble rebels. They are a pack of beaten dogs, driven by hunger and greed. Whose every attempt at villainy seems to end in fresh wounds and humiliating failure.
They are the fever in a sick world, a symptom of the rot.

The Scum Kings is a daily, short-form, serial grimdark fantasy audio drama told from the perspective of their captain. Each 10-15 minute episode is a ground-level chronicle of survival, following the crew through their desperate heists, ugly victories, and insane gambles.Check out the description for links to subscribe or for more information. But for now, let's immerse ourselves in the scum.

Defeated. Desperate. Driven.

A quiet meal turns into a history-altering moment. When Raef casually mentions a detail from Ralan's imprisonment, the dwarven Loremaster Kray realizes the impossible: Pietro's lost memories may not be lost after all, but written down in a secret library in Gaotteland.

Some secrets are worth dying for. Some are worth killing for.
