Act 5 Episode 6: A (Side)Real Walk Alongside Restaurant Row

2025-09-10

As our Circle moves in on their sabotage route towards Kamthahar, the heavy hitters of the Sidereal Host are still here. Not just for our heroes, mind: Shrike is planning something disastrous, and that's not even getting into what the Prasadi are trying to pull to safeguard their colonialist interests. Can the Ashen Ones secure the path to their dreams and defang the dragon? More importantly, can they live with any of the prospective fallout? Aura receives a guaranteed golden ticket towards getting the Tulpa Network ...

Aura receives a guaranteed golden ticket towards getting the Tulpa Network online, but the cost from Of Things Desired And Feared is, as usual, horrifyingly steep! Lythander runs into Anys Syn again, and through confronting her may find a way to keep Spider alive without having him murder rampage indiscriminately whenever he's not looking! Gavel reunites with an old ally and discovers who Ruach's new ochilike partner is, and just what her old tutelary god will be bringing to bear for their Prasadi backers! Mantle continues to struggle to deal with how big a clownshow this Anathemic Circle is! At long last, we reach Kamthahar, and there's a lot going on in the Direction's biggest city, for sure!
