The team splits along the least crazy axis, Janni-Zelf and Patty-Astra, to try to maximize their time before the demigod Bysshod arrives in Neptis. The boys dig deep into the history of Bysshod and try to find Aureo Fortuna; the girls commit espionage, then commit partying. Let's hope they make the most of this space apart!Listen to Jenna and Paul on this week's episode of Big Game Hunger!

But obviously they're going to do the MOST righteous thing, which is to stop the nastiest spell of all time from going off in Neptis.Join the BCBP Patreon at www.patreon.com/bcbparty.
