Cover Me! Come one, come all to the wedding of the century! A flashy city-wide affair to unite Sheldon Truby with... well we don't actually know.

You have much more to lose than I do. Catching up on some errands, nighttime strolls, mind-opening conversations... What's that old saying about splitting the party?

Ladies Night! Progress is made with the Cobbler's plan, but everyone has their own individual agendas to keep as well - crushes and shoes are just as important!

When you're here, you feel.. close to one another. Plans are set in motion. Nyx and Craigory experience some fine dining while Nia and Rendo make new ...friends?

See beyond the...what? Nia and Rendo start a rumor, Craigory lies, Geist gets a new hobby, and Nyx expresses her inner artist...

Bar hopping! The Cobblers have a plan to take back Dirge, the seeds of which will need time to germinate. Meanwhile, the party gets an 'official' headquarters - did someone say sleepover?!

Just tell yourself it will all be okay. Nyx spends the day getting to know Geist. Nia and Rendo plan for next steps. And Craigory meets someone unexpected...

We should've taken a car. Bodies to hide and treaties to negotiate, the party presses on, but not everybody is built for war.

Doesn't anyone say 'Hello' anymore? The party is sent on their first official mission as a group - to form an alliance. Seems easy enough, right? Wait, where are all these bullets coming from??

...but also for planning. A meeting of the families takes place to discuss their newest threat - and partake in some recreational levity. After all, the only thing that can bring people together like a wedding, is a funeral...

A Bullet and a Box. Party-goers proceed to drink and be merry as the wedding reception kicks off. Pranks are planned, friendships forged, important connections made.. and nothing bad ever happens at a wedding...

Chubby Bunny! What do you do when one of your own could be compromised?

Anything but cars.... It’s time to unleash the most elaborate plan to catch Mul’ator off guard - or, the party plays the most dangerous game of ding dong ditch ever.

Do I smell bacon? A night to remember, a morning to plan. Time for the unexpected.

Two teams left. Craigory and Nyx vs Geist and Rendo. One bake to claim the win. Roses. Lemons. Cats. Anything is possible on this weeks episode of Ye Olde Baking Competition.

This is an Extras Episode! No context needed to enjoy.

Strikers, Casters, and Wolves - oh my! A telling tapestry of trauma, when the laundry hangs out to dry the party learns it may be time to put their own on the line...

Morphine, anyone? The clash continues - It will take a true badass to turn the tides.... wait what is Craigory doing?

For Nicky. The party joins forces with the Cobblers once more, in an elaborate plan to take back the Toast. But will Mul'ator be ready and prepared for what's coming?

Digging for Truth. Heal up and plan, the time to act has come.

Cookies anyone? Finishing up their individual evenings, it is time to reconvene at the New Lease - though some members of the party may find this simple task a bit challenging...

For a girl who tired to hide from everyone, there certainly were a lot of people who saw her.

This is the end of Chapter 1 of Ties that Bind.

Please don't be gone... Aria needs to be taken down - but at what cost?

The gang's all here! Pete gather the crew, plus a new face, to discuss out-of-town business plans. But leaving Dirge may not be without consequence.... Be sure to pack the label maker!

A day in the life... Mornings can be rough. Reminiscing, keeping up appearances, dealing with work, school.. but hey, maybe old dogs CAN learn new tricks!

This isn't what you do. The Presidential Party continues on. Questions are answered, secrets held close, pastries shared - an illuminating evening, indeed.

O'Brien is tryin! Having gone their separate ways for the past six months, the Presidential Party might be just the thing to get the gang back together. Care for an hors d'oeuvre?

This is the beginning of Ties that Bind Chapter 2.

In this special recap, the party sits down with Hugo to explain everything that's happened from Episode 1 through 21. If you're new or just need a refresher going into Chapter 2, this is the perfect place to catch up.

Throwing yourself into work is a stage of grief, right? Sometimes a new endeavor is the best place to channel pain. And as costly as death can be, the price of living is even higher.

Everyone loves a good gossip session at the local salon, and the regulars of Salon Lumiere are no exception. Come spend the afternoon with them, where the topic of conversation is one Nia Corraidhín…

Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance. When efforts to be better fall short, Geist looks inward. Pain turns to punishment, and a could-be-hero finds themself on the hunt for a way to change the past. To save the ones you care about, sometimes you have to let your demons take charge.

Dark deals, soaring spirits, terse treaties, and... fried sausages?

Surely this can't all really be happening... There's Goldboots, there's the Cartel, there's machine guns, there's dynamite, there's... boats? A.. a giant dog?? Are we sure Bill is the only one on acid?

Lie. After an explosive end to court, the party swaps real bombs for truth bombs. A surprise visit may be just what they need to keep from falling apart again!

What a night... There's so much to do in Granite Bay! You can confront your friends, gamble away all your money, even play a thrilling rendition of rock, paper, scissors! How about a round of Source Cards?

Make sure you go the right way... Today's forecast: cloudy, with a chance of.. gunfire? The party is finally formally introduced to the infamous Myles Dodds of the Cartel. On a scale of one to six, how're we feeling about W1K?

Oh thanks, a potato.... The only things cooler than the temperature are the tater tots. Is this a dream? Maybe. A Nightmare? Absolutely.

Good tidings and safe travels—this is Y.102.Dirge, broadcasting from a holiday train bound for Granite Bay.

Today’s broadcast brings you a one-horned storyteller who decides, against everyone’s better judgment, to tell a grim little faerie tale. What follows is a winding account of elemental princes, stolen teeth, evil dentists, heroic resolve, and a cautionary lesson that keeps slipping out of the storyteller’s grasp.

Snacks are shared. Strikes are given. Morals are debated. Somewhere beneath the chaos, a truth lingers about guilt, silence, and the danger of deciding you don’t deserve to go home.

Keep your friends close... Secret letters, midnight meetings, train rides, family vacations, political moves? It's a lot to process. Don't forget the lemon-blueberry cookies!

Step 3: Profit. Elix has some errands to run with a new face, Nia and Geist attend a rather pointed sermon.. Unrelated - if a critical failure is rolled 20 times, does it cancel out and become a critical success?

What to do? What to do... Geist has some unseen shadows during his evening routine, while the rest of the party are each playing entirely different games across town...

I think we took the acid....

This is a crossover episode with The Homebrew and The Shifting Realms.

Goodnight... Pulling all-nighters are always fun - until they aren't. Is it too late to start a Dirge D.A.R.E program?

I believe I can fly! How do you get off a train you were never supposed to be on? Better yet, how do you manage to do so in one piece?

A verdict of fire and ash. Too late to turn back. The trial is underway. What is the cost of freedom?

Knockout! The plan is simple: get in, make the swap, get out. No casualties. ...NO casualties.

A verdict of fire and ash. Too late to turn back. The trial is underway. What is the cost of freedom?

Just tell the truth. Nia has been served, and now she, Rendo, and Geist must be prepared to stand trial. Stick to the story: "Bombs occurred, and we were near them." And Cade is going to kill Death someday.

What happens in Granite Bay... And now beings the waiting period for the inevitable repercussions from the party's stint in Granite Bay. Reunions are hard. Pass the muffins!

Can you put a price on a soul? As the old saying goes, "what doesn't kill you leaves you alive to make more, stupider choices."

Wolves... and tigers and bears, oh my? Geist, Cade, Nia, and Rendo successfully slipped away from the chaos of combat and into the ease of espionage. Surely there will be no lethal surprises from here on out!
