Blades of Brickwall pt. 4 | We're Not Heroes

Veeve Lawrence is dead. Something insane went down at her exhibition, and the Darkhouse Gang may be the only ones who can get to the bottom of it, but getting too close could put a pretty big target on their back. So what’ll it be? Save the day? Or save their own asses? Yeah. That’s a rhetorical question.----------If you liked this episode, please leave a rating and review to help us spread the word and don't forget to share with your friends.

Come one, come all! It's time for the legendary Genevieve Lawrence to debut her newest technological marvel! And since The Darkhouse Gang has reunited her with her newest invention, everything is sure to go off without a hitch, right? ... Right? The team gets all dolled up and steps into polite society because they've EARNED it, damnit. Hopefully they've still got a dagger or two stuffed in their boots. Because things are about to go OFF.----------If you liked this episode, please leave a rating and review to help us spread the word and don't forget to share with your friends.

CW: Spiders (but they aren't mean)Every game is the story of the people who play it. Kings of Bolera is no different. And now the newest participants finally get to hear the story of some of the main players of the Sega Dreamcast’s most obscure MMO. Unfortunately, the answers they were after only lead to more questions. For starters: Who is following Robert? And what will they do when they catch him?-------If you liked this episode, please leave a rating and review to help us spread the word and don't forget to share with your friends.

CW: Spiders (but they're not scary we promise)It’s a “downtime” episode, but things are still pretty messed up. A stroll in Bolera leads Robert to a new acquaintance who might be a little too friendly. The investigation into the truth behind the game world leads Jack to a potential lead who could break the whole thing wide open. And Sutton travels even further from the real world than usual to heal the kind of wound that even a vampire can’t recover from alone. It’s uncharted territory, beyond the borders of the known... What else is new??-------If you liked this episode, please leave a rating and review to help us spread the word and don't forget to share with your friends.

Ace, Echo and Wicker head to the very top of the bottom as their hunt for the Glasstown thieves leads them to a Matriarch of the Bridgeway. But their true goal leads them deeper into the underbelly of the town than they'd planned. And the score they're after is not what it seems. As long as they stick to the deal and don't open the case, they should be okay… right?--------If you liked this episode, please leave a rating and review to help us spread the word and don't forget to share with your friends.

The Final Showdown with the vampire Catkiller is on, but our vampire ally Sutton is down for the count. The rest of the team will have to play offense and defense at the same time to make it out alive.
