The Mortal Path

44) On Nightmare Shores

We're back on our spooky BS, friends! Our three "heroes" venture down toward the nightmare lake, but OSHA isn't in their favour. Some quick spell-casting saves Natalia, Nerium, and Taro from an unpleasant end, but while they might have found some answers to their questions more quickly arise when a body is discovered. With old hopes dashed, our trio must be brave and step out into the unknown...

2) Over Broken Earth [The Junkyard]

Welcome once more to our play through of The Junkyard, written by Matthew Guzdial for the #sadmechjam. Once more we descend into the dangerous Junkyard with our friends Pigeon, Kosmic, and Re:þ as we discover new mech parts, and what it means to be very small in a big world. Fortune doesn't seem to be on our sides, and our fates entwine - some good, some bad...

43) The Call of Shah

The dust is settling in Tenbren, and we leave the political factions to duke it out and catch up with the main trio. What daring exploits, what thrilling adventures have they been on? Saving lives, helping people, settling moral quandaries, and... making crepes? But Tenbren isn't done with Natalia, Nerium, or Taro yet, and once more mystery and something spooky calls...

42) Politics

Welcome dear friends as we play an exciting, brand new, one of a kind game written by our one and only Gary! Join us as we each take on a Tenbren faction and pit The Firebrands, Hoi and the Polloi, The Cloud Gurus (Resurgent), and more against each other in this exciting, fast-paced game of luck, back-stabbing, conniving, maths, and those sweet d8s we all know and love. Who will win? Who will lose? And what will it cost Tenbren to once more have stability?

41) In The Aftermath

The world's turned upside down as the brief but intense fight for Tenbren gutters out, leaving a fractured city to lick its wounds. With the military disbanded and historic Cloudfield Square once more bathed in blood, our three "heroes" must try to pick up the pieces of what they've shattered...

40) Revolution

We're long past patiently waiting for tomorrow as the threat of revolution hangs heavy in the air. Our three "heroes" have fanned a spark into a flame, the situation fraught with uncertainty and tinged with emerging powers. Can Natalia, Nerium, and Taro bring peace, or are we about to plunge into war that'll tear Tenbren apart...

39) The Queen's Speech

Welcome dear friends to another Right Royal Mess made by our favourite troupe of troublemakers. With their disguises in place Natalia, Vesper, and Nerium hurry back towards the Fanged Court to discuss their next move. Tenbren is tense, and while Vesper's holding back suspicion for now, it's only a matter of time before ve's found out alongside Natalia and Nerium. Drastic times call for drastic measures, but someone makes an unexpected return at an inopportune moment and kicks events into the highest gear possible...

38) A Voice in the Midst

Come and see, one and all, where one story ends and another begins. Deep in a sacred chamber in the heart of a volcano, Natalia, "Taro", and Nerium are taking history in their own bloodied hands...

37) Blood on the Altar

It is time, dear friends. The carefully laid plans of Natalia, Nerium, and Taro are made or broken in the Firemouth, under alien skies and over something sleeping deep beneath. It's time to make history...

36) The Set Up

Welcome back to the tangled web we're weaving in the city of Tenbren! Our three heroes (?) have their own myriad agendas, and take a little time to do the most important things that need doing - in their opinions. But our gang of misfits can't keep their heads down for long, plotting coming all too easily to Taro, Natalia, and Nerium. Tensions start to bubble over, and plots are made to change the course of history forever...
