Act 4 Episode 5: Umbral Shadows Cast Over The Palanquin Road Trip

The Circle did it! They beat the Wyld Hunt! Now to deal with the aftermath of having to finish Novari's play and end things off without having to execute anyone! That is, if they can stop Novari from getting executed first! Also, they still have to trick Heaven into thinking Gavel died in the final battle for this all to work! But, assuming all that works out, the gang can finally rest! Maybe! If their own allies don't end up ruining all their hard work in an attempt to "help" settle matters!

 

Aura helps Nue come to terms with her rocky history with Ysyr, and confronts Amir on his tendencies to go way, way too far with solving whatever he deems as "problems!" Lythander rolls a, quite frankly, SILLY amount of successes in Novari's grand finale, and realizes that Spider might be just as dangerous when he's trying to help the Circle as when he opposes them! Gavel learns of new developments in Malfeas that disturb even the Yozi themselves, and gets a sweet new sorbiquet! Orphis Shineback releases his plantext apology on social media, and finally spells out what The Greatest Threat Creation Has Ever Known is that we're always talking about in the intro! Coming up soon on the horizon: HellCon, and the grand city of Palanquin!
