The story so far:
Game 1 - Changelings - 2026 January 10
Elgis Lankshire, Hamza Rashid, and Kiltak Bloodbane discover two babies have disappeared in Dunham. With Ash Turner, they stop a disguised harpy from stealing a third baby, but the harpy kills Ash. Messages at Ash’s home and Gregor the Naturalist’s Apocrypha suggest the babies could be fairy changelings. Investigating the Penance Stone missing from the Penance Chapel, they’re accosted by three wire-fu fighting women and defeat them.
Game 2 - UIm's Monument - 2026 January 24
Virgil joins the party at the Penance Chapel. In catacombs underneath Ulm's Monument, they fight workers collecting meteoric iron, fatal to fairies, and discover encoded letters and spells. Annie at the Quaternion Society helps decode the letters and spells, and they learn that "Ishild" has been experimenting on fairies to make a Fey Extinction Event spell, and that "Astrid" will power "the spell" using the Penance Stone at the Cathedral of Gradska.
Game 3 - The Eyrie - 2026 February 8
The party meets Cankerblossom at the Black Cabaret at the Mooncalf, and captures another harpy disguised as a beautiful woman there. Haden Greymark joins the party. They're ambushed by harpies in the bone well cavern in the harpy Eyrie, but beat them. They find "Christopher Cotton" chained up there, actually the harpy duchess Hecate in disguise. They defeat Hecate and free the real Christopher and the changelings.
Game 4 - The Cathedral of Gradska - 2026 Februrary 21
The party returns Luna Whitman and Flora Shaw to their parents. At the Cathedral of Gradska, they find Astrid using the cathedral dome like a Detect Fey Cerebro, and using the Penance Stone to power Fey Extinction Event. Beatrice and Astrid use the Circle of Nerfed Blight against the party, but the party beats them and stops the Fey Extinction Event. They grudgingly give the Penance Stone back to Merrick.
Game 5 - Ishild - 2026 March 7
Barnaby Vere, a cleric of Gradska, joins the party. Seven strange women reflect on the party's decisions so far. The lich Ishild recruits Haden at the Hollin Grimoire, telling him to capture an honest man, and Brandy Cranston recruits the party to spring her uncle Carter from Hobnail Prison. A mystery woman attacks Burgess Lorentz at the Mooncalf, but she dissipates into a moon shadow and escapes when the party beats her.
Game 6 - Hobnail Prison - 2026 March 22
The party visits Miss Miller's salon. They meet Brandy Cranston and Ulrike to break Carter Cranston out of Hobnail Prison, and sneak in through the Brock House Monument and the underground cisterns. Inside the prison though, they find the guards and prisoners dazed, mumbling about "the ocean." Dazed secret police Inquisitors and prisoners attack the party and psychically feed on their minds, but the party defeats them.
Game 7 - Hobnail Prison Part 2 - 2026 April 4
The party finds secret police communiques: some that Gwen told Ulrike the secret police spy chief Guilder is the Hobnail chief Lars, some that fairies have infiltrated the Company Board, and some giving the secret police assassin Lavinia conflicting kill orders. Brandy and Carter Cranston kill Ulrike, and the party kills them. Haden and Kiltak open two niche door safes, retrieving Gwen's Gemfire Amulet.
8 - The Globster - 2026 April 18
Continuing in the prison, the party finds the globster and infected secret police interrogating Tomas Allenbrand. They beat them, blowing up the globster's tank with a cannon. The assassin Lavinia questions Haden, who is disguised as Garth, but lets them go. Aurelian gives Haden love-in-idleness as leverage on Aurora. They meet Millicent the Rat Queen, who claims to be the rightful heir to Hollin's Gradskan royal throne.
