Finale: Make It Whole

The gate is the tomb of a betrayed general, and the talisman has been screaming his name this whole time. Heart is his key. They set the stone in the door and something crawls out — an eye, a robe, a rhyming corpse called Der Tib who remembers being murdered and wants a crystal soul to reap. Beetle's mother is waiting on the other side with a knife at Heart's throat. The Rotgoons have one finale in them. Make it count.

Last chance to say goodbye. Gray hands Brog a rhythm bone to remember his daughter's laughter. Heart apologizes to Hollick with a sunflower seed. Talim plans a life after the gate in the land of Admari. Beetle gets a pocket elemental extracted from his skull. Then they walk toward the gate because the talisman is finally pointing somewhere.

Giant spiders chirping like birds. A nest that drops its catch and pulls them up half-alive to finish later. Heart gets cocooned. Beetle shoots him trying to save him. In the bones of a long-dead delver they find another dungeon-runner's pack — and a truth about Heart's father that the party has been skirting for months.

The caves on the far side of the ferry fold in on themselves. A kind old man at a cottage door turns out to be the tongue of a mimic. A room of disembodied hands demands their darkest secrets. Somewhere in the bends, the crew gets separated from the army marching behind them.

They find their friends. Vena, the Elmas, Hollick, Brog and his daughter — all driven underground while Outset burned topside. Greg the potato mancer shows up with 64,950 gold. The Ferryman's rate has climbed to a thousand a head. Talim clutches the money bag like scripture and weeps.

A ghost pipe almost brains Beetle. The river is a rollercoaster. On the far shore: Shum Town, a fey market run by the greatest NPC alive — Terry the fairy ferryman — who will take them across for a hundred gold a head. The goons kill rot-infested fairies in his streets and the price goes up anyway.

Talim finds out he has been dead longer than he thought, and he is starting to count the seconds. Adrift on the river, the goons meet Tevok — a fey made of hands and mouths — who builds them a fake farm and a fake dwarven host named Kepper just to sit at a table with them. The murder mystery is real. The friendship is not. Website: https://www.narrativedeclaration.com System: Pathfinder Second Edition Click here to watch a video of this episode.

One enormous chicken. Four exhausted adventurers. The witch sets her cockatrice loose on the crew and watches from the treeline. They strangle the cock to death. Twice. Then they learn the way out is the underground river, and the river is moving whether they're ready or not.

Resupplied by the leshies and pointed toward a cave that might lead home, the goons crawl deeper instead of higher. Shum hands Talim a flintlock engraved with a cult's eye. Somewhere ahead, the witch's cockatrice is waiting, and she has not forgotten the Elmas.

Two hundred corpses shamble out of the treeline toward a village of flower-people who eat their dead. The crew holds the line in the dirt, cuts down wave after wave, and keeps the zombies from crossing the river. Not a single building burns. The witch rolls away in her wagon, unfinished business.
