Returning to Lepidstadt, our heroes trace down the origin of the mysterious surgical tools found in Morast. They go over their defense strategy with Gustav, and the Beast gets a name.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In this episode, the Beast recites a piece of Taldane poetry. Not having access to the great poets of Taldor, I have borrowed from one of the Romantic poets of Earth – George Gordon, Lord Byron. The poem the Beast recites is the first stanza of “When We Two Parted,” written in 1816 CE. This poem is in the public domain.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In this episode, one of the players made use of the “X” card when a scene became too disturbing for them. The X card is one of several tools that can be used to enhance your games – especially when dealing with sensitive topics – to help create a safe space to explore and play while not triggering anyone at the table. We’ve been using the X-card for awhile, and not needed it before this episode, but we’re glad that it was in use. To learn more about the X-Card, visit this site. http://tinyurl.com/x-card-rpg
