A Rotten Situation
Show notes
Six strangers. One Tyrant's Guild cell. Jailer Homel offers a multi-year rot or a pit fight against the Guild's aspirants. They punch their way free, take a shady inspection job at a condemned hanging apartment, and drop straight through the floor into something the city buried on purpose.

The Under Dungeon
Show notes
Bruised, stranded, and one guide short, the party wakes in the temple that swallowed them. Rotten catwalks, a storeroom of cursed helmets, and a swarm of helmet-crabs — one of which Rahua names Jeremy and takes home. Nobody falls to their death. That counts as a win down here.

Bowl Best Served Rotten
Show notes
A rune-puzzle that pays in frostbite and electrical burns. A ring of desiccated monks tending an eternal brazier. Visions that rearrange Tanhauser and Rahua from the inside out. Whatever's guarding the flame hasn't moved in a long time, and it's starting to notice.

Times That Bind
Show notes
The Rotten Drowned Devoted goes down, Baldrick bombs a staircase back to daylight, and Crunch — impossibly — is still breathing. Cousin Ginebrin says the rot hasn't taken yet and points them at a halfling called the Fly Merchant. Then pig spiders erupt out of Crunch's forge floor.

The Fly Merchant
Show notes
Pig-spider corpses stuffed into the walls. Spider-fluid surgery on Tanhauser. Then Blotus — an emaciated halfling who sells contraband from nowhere and talks mostly to his cage of flies. New guns, a new crossbow, a shakedown at the architect's guild, and one heckling saucer-fey waiting outside the Cackling Jackass.

We Hate Taverns
Show notes
Tanhauser kicks in the Cackling Jackass door. Vali orders rum. Rahua, ambushed outside by a flock of owl-faced fey, solves the problem by running through the wall. Oren goes bear, Baldrick lights a woman on fire, and the Children of the Blaze fall back upstairs toward their boss, Mr. Allort.

Running from the Law
Show notes
Mr. Allort is a simulacrum. The alchemist upstairs is Dr. Crim, and her homunculus is named Glub Talk. The gargoyle scholar they've been hunting has been roosting here the whole time. Downstairs, Homel tips Baldrick that Martinet Cardoza has gone strange — just as a Guild patrol closes the block.

The Rehua Special
Show notes
Rahua gets press-ganged into waitering at Granny Sweet's and serves a 600-pound fly-proboscis horror named Bremblo a cabbage "avocado casserole." Bremblo detonates into a centipede-teleport fever dream. Outside, the Tyrant's Guild outriders hit the street, and Rahua has to sprint back to a fight already bleeding.

They Saw Us
Show notes
A street brawl with Tyrant's Guild outriders turns into a massacre when the Iron Baron's chainsaw-car rolls in and mulches Dr. Crim into viscera. Vali and Oren die under its reversing wheels. They wake in the buried temple, sponsored by something divine. Whatever brings them back has already named its price.

Reunion
Show notes
Baldrick barricades his house with Crunch and Granny Sweet. Tanhauser and Rahua weld together a red-painted three-seater bicycle and pedal across Outset. Vali and Oren claw out of the temple newly resurrected and newly rotting. Duhakis confirms the sponsorship corrupts — and Ginebrin drops word that Cardoza's gala is tonight.

Splitting This Party
Show notes
Three ways into Derg Sandren House. Vali and Tanhauser front-door in stolen Guild colours, Oren slips a skylight as a rat, Rahua and Baldrick take the sewer with Crunch. Baldrick lectures on municipal disguise law. Rahua unionises the sewer workers. The worst-coordinated assault in Outset history steps off.

Enlightenment
Show notes
Baldrick bombs the basement garrison. Tanhauser and Vali bluff the upper floor. Glub Talk harvests bugs to patch a wound. Speaker improvises a beetle-rider mentor who gets canonised by PDF before the session ends. Down in the prison they free a girl called Gyrl — and learn Cardoza has been processing people into her hunt.

The Aftermath
Show notes
Martinet Cardoza burns through a second form, then a third, before Rahua buries a thrown mace in her skull and she detonates into light. Vali drops into a rot-vision of black sludge and distant bagpipes, Glub Talk drifting past like a benediction. She wakes on fire in a fountain. The rot has a home now.

Concealment
Show notes
One assassinated martinet. One bribed caravan. The party vanishes into the Swamps of the Solitude, pinning revolutionary posters on every signpost they pass — until a fog rolls in stinking of wet fur, and six dank bears come through the mist. Baldrick meets a halfling named Picturn Squelchfoot. Everything gets worse from there.

The Decision
Show notes
Zibulzap's trading post walks through the swamp on reptile legs. Vali converts to a crustacean god, Tannhauser crafts a functioning swamp-gas dirigible out of pig bladders, and a mercenary named Victrix reappears with a job. Three paths out. One blimp. The party takes all three and hopes the bladders hold.

The Cube
Show notes
Thousand-year-old masterwork debris litters the swamp, leading somewhere no one wanted to go. An osseogrove — bone-rooted, red-leaved, patient — crits Oren for thirty-eight and starts squeezing. Past it: a silver cube half-buried in the mud, a Perfectite siege tower from the Fundamental Battlefield, leaking a floating particulum looking for orders.

Imperfect Perfection
Show notes
The cube is fifteen hundred years old and the towers used to fly. Tannhauser nails a dead tyrant's mask-essence to his armor and becomes a permanent glow-in-the-dark liability. At the perimeter, anarchite elementals float inside perfectite shells — and Rahua, offended on behalf of his imprisoned kin, charges one alone to duel for honor.

Echoes of the Past
Show notes
Inside the abandoned siege tower, a stone bust holds the memories of a military unit the swamp buried fifteen centuries ago. Tannhauser presses psychometry against the rock and a haunt lashes out mid-reading. Oren sniffs the stairwell and says the word nobody wanted tonight: dragon blood.

Pieces of Friendship Left Behind
Show notes
Second floor of the cube: blood-soaked testing rooms, an alchemist's notes left mid-experiment, decahedrons that shoot lightning through the walls. Picturn gets his feelings hurt. A glowing chest waits at the bottom of a murky pit, and Baldrick rigs a pulley off a table because nobody brought proper anchors.

A Corrosive Vacation
Show notes
An acid lake. A ruined church. Beach umbrellas sized for fey. The party turns a wraith-haunted hazard zone into a spa day — bottled corrosive as souvenirs, candied bugs for everyone, Picturn drafted as pool boy. A psychometric feather reveals saucer fey stole a ring and watched a man dissolve. Rahua ends the day clubbing Oren over a foot massage.
