In this week’s episode of The Wandering Isles, the party finds themselves in the frozen town of [[Penzance]], where they split into two teams to accomplish a vital task—finding a safe place for their new companion, Adrian "Gorebound" Voss, to start anew after their dangerous encounter.

Upon arriving, Dash, Hatsu, Slate, and the others begin laying the groundwork for this important mission, meeting with new allies and setting plans in motion. Hatsu has a significant interaction with [[Dimthel Kromdek]], the mayor, and meets a local figure with hidden depths—Krechor, who isn’t quite what he seems. Meanwhile, Dash takes care of practical matters, ensuring the group is prepared for the harsh environment.

The second group, led by Amaedrianna, Eos, and Lysa, soon joins the effort, and together, the entire team works to build a home for Gorebound, each contributing their own skills. Amidst the hustle, Weslyn shares a quiet moment of connection with Gorebound, solidifying their bond. However, the episode takes a somber turn as the team faces a sudden and unexpected tragedy, leaving them reeling and searching for the next steps forward.

With a bittersweet mix of teamwork, camaraderie, and loss, the adventure in Penzance ends on an emotional note, setting the stage for the challenges yet to come.
