In a stroke of extreme luck, the troupe managed to get the jump on a group of Hoechlins. New Rogue made effective use of his deadly spectral hands, Tyler did some impressive bladesinging to hold his own though he got stabbed rather badly in the process, Del summoned a boar and finished off the remaining Hoechlins, and Shadow Nemesis received a Flute of Rats and ignored the combat in favour of trying to mobilize the were-rats. Under pop-culture-infused orders from New Rogue, the were-folk are hol...

The troupe and the were-folk set off towards the Rootless Evergreen. Tyler found a misty path that led them along a more covert route to the underside of the tree, Shadow Nemesis looked for loopholes to get the Doctor Deputy released from his oath to Tyler, and Del stole Shadow Nemesis’s bag of holding so he couldn’t use the doll’s needle to steal one of their bodies. Having climbed up through the base of the tree, New Rogue was the first to emerge top-side, only to be confronted by two dead wer...

The troupe entered the were-camp and lay down for a much-needed rest, during which Shadow Nemesis sucker-punched Adam and took control once again, and Del—ever the pragmatist—made them all focus on the fight with a promise to deal with him later. Del and Tyler learned that time didn’t work as expected in their current realm and that many of the folk they had hoped to save were already dead. With only ten hours left before the armies were set to arrive, New Rogue drew inspiration from various TV ...

The troupe continued to contend with the consequences of body-switching. New Rogue healed Adam’s accidentally-self-inflicted wounds, Adam couldn’t fight the influence of Shadow Nemesis and became a bit more evil, and the party tried to get Adam back into the doll body, but he unintentionally resisted the needle and remained a goat. Del and Tyler realized that Lucretia might make a deal with them and so Tyler agreed to give the demon a child in exchange for putting everyone back in their rightful...

The troupe set off towards the were-camp. New Rogue struggled to comprehend the degree of body-switching that had occurred, Adam woke up as a goat, unable to speak and desperate to communicate that New Rogue had tried to kill him, Del calmed Adam down, and Tyler made a deal with the Doctor Deputy to let the squire fight for them if he kept the truth-bracelet on. Adam was finally able to request armour, and Del tried using her new Reality Paints to paint a suit into existence, but due to the magi...

The troupe once again found themselves up against Lucretia Sanguine. New Rogue tried to strike a deal with her to both return Jack Magnum to him and return Adam to his own body in exchange for a child, but instead, she charmed New Rogue into trying to kill Adam, and Adam stabbed Jack Magnum with his doll needle, causing them both to collapse. Del and Tyler arrived on the scene and Tyler finally slapped New Rogue out of his charmed state in time to hear from Denton Arthur that Aesyr Sanguine’s ar...

After realizing they’d have to wait a full day before Adam got his body back, Del stayed behind to keep watch over Adam and the squire, while Tyler and New Rogue left to search for Jack Magnum. New Rogue received an offer from Lucretia to exchange his goat for giving her a child, but he left her to consider it, and Tyler meanwhile consulted with Ezra to discover that Lucretia’s desperation for more heirs might give them an opportunity to bargain with her for more. Adam and New Rogue have set off...

The troupe contended with how to handle the most recent doll body-swap. New Rogue threatened the Doctor Deputy with a game of chicken until Tyler put the squire to sleep, Shadow Nemesis temporarily took control over Adam and tried and failed to glue the black knight’s helmet back together using Del’s pickled finger, and Del finally managed to pull Adam-slash-Shadow Nemesis out of the bag of holding. Del used the foul-smelling odour inside the bag to force the Doctor Deputy to retch up the needle...

As was inevitable, the troupe’s fears came true when Adam woke up in a doll’s body. Adam fought Shadow Nemesis for control before he was shoved into his bag of holding, where he accidentally smashed the Black Knight’s helm. The Doctor Deputy repeatedly hacked at Adam’s hand in the hope of removing the bracelet and liberating Shadow Nemesis, but the commotion quickly drew in Del, Tyler, and New Rogue. They realized that the switch had taken place, but not before the squire swallowed the transform...

The troupe were reunited in the Vistani’s bar tent. As Tyler returned from his fishing trip, New Rogue followed up with Denton Arthur about Rumpleforeskin’s prosthetic leg with a very confusing letter, Del took over to provide actually useful information, and a very drunk Adam smashed up the bar, confessed to Tyler that he’d plotted against him, learned that he had a kid with Lucretia, and drank even more before the Doctor Deputy finally took him away to sleep it off. They’ve all turned in for t...

The troupe’s very long, very bad day continued! Tyler awoke on the back of a dead ground worm to Lucretia Sanguine offering him a Nintendo Switch in exchange for giving her child, but when he refused, she stabbed him and he finally found himself being revived in the company of some very grateful were-people. Meanwhile, Del chatted with Rumpleforeskin about their mutually bad day and received some magic beans from the mists as Adam began to recall his time as Shadow Nemesis in the midst of an inc...

The troupe had some uncomfortable realizations about themselves and each other. New Rogue received a Rod of Double-Checking to help combat his tendency towards black-and-white thinking, Del played Warhammer with Lucretia Sanguine, who she learned to be Aesir’s mother, and a horrified Adam learned about his crimes as Shadow Nemesis and left to get a drink with New Rogue and the Doctor Deputy. Meanwhile, Tyler caught a ground worm and tried to leap on it and stab it, but instead knocked himself ou...

A tense meeting with the Vistani quickly turned around when they were delighted by Jack Magnum’s tricks, but the rest of the troupe learned some hard truths. Tyler couldn’t get the hang of worm-fishing and found himself relegated to a corner, New Rogue learned that his relationship with Ezra might be superficial and that he should do some more introspection to deepen the connection with his god, Adam was forced to confront some of the evil deeds he had done as Shadow Nemesis, and Del expended a ...

The troupe prepared to do battle with the approaching caravan, when New Rogue recognized them as the Vistani, the travelling performers they had met in Happy Town. But just as they were greeting each other, the Doctor Deputy—thinking that Adam was speaking to him in code—attacked. Del managed to think quickly and stop the squire momentarily, but when he kept attacking, Adam shoved him into his bag of holding. Back at the were-camp, Tyler found a clever way to set up an invisible fishing hole in ...

With the rest of the troupe either sleeping or gone fishing, Del took advantage of a quiet moment to attempt to extricate the Doctor Deputy from his robot body, only to accidentally activate the self-destruct sequence. The squire got free and Adam shielded them as much as he could, but Rumpleforeskin had their leg blown off and they all got burnt in the explosion. Meanwhile, Tyler caught a glimpse of what had happened through his detached finger in Del’s pocket, and so New Rogue rode a Were-boar...

As Shadow Nemesis relinquished control, Adam was torn from his nightmare and remembered nothing since meeting the Judge, so Del caught him up, leaning into the kinder aspects of who Adam used to be, but felt rather conflicted about it. Meanwhile, Tyler and New Rogue traversed the Barren Hills to the rough camp of the Weres, learning that Streamlabbing Tyler had displaced them from their home on the Rootless Evergreen and left them without a source of food. New Rogue offered his Master P Powder t...

After speculating that the were-monsters were likely good people, New Rogue convinced them that the troupe were not in fact their doppelgangers and they all backed down. He and Tyler helped everyone heal, the Doctor Deputy got upset about not getting a were-monster body, and Shadow Nemesis suddenly realized that his new, mist-given bracelet was forcing him to tell the truth. New Rogue immediately began interrogating Shadow Nemesis, who promptly ran away and—not wanting to reveal his sinister pla...

The troupe debated what to do about the were-creatures. Shadow Nemesis wanted the Doctor Deputy to take one of their bodies, but they decided instead that New Rogue would approach them like a sinuous, hissing worm, assisted by the power of Del’s ghost story and Tyler’s familiar. Surprisingly, the creatures spoke and seemed afraid of New Rogue, mistaking him for his Doppelganger, so New Rogue magically calmed some of them, but not all of them, and the fight began. These were-creatures clearly are...

The troupe left the Nameless Graveyard behind them, set off toward the Barren Hills, and immediately encountered the Nilbog. New Rogue tried to befriend the strange goblin, but just as the situation turned dangerous, the Nilbog froze and—seemingly possessed—told the troupe that the Watchers were impressed with them, and then promptly died. Unsure of what to make of this misty intervention, they continued on. Del received an endless bottle of chai tea latte from the mists, Tyler got a child-proof...

After several mishaps by Wet Change, Rumpleforeskin dealt the final blow to the Gargoyle King. Del learned from Werner that they would be safe until the following night, but without a clear foe, the quarrelling began anew. New Rogue offended Rumpleforeskin, Shadow Nemesis stole New Rogue’s Master P powder, and Tyler was constantly disturbed from his sleep by Jack Magnum. As a sort of truce, New Rogue, Shadow Nemesis, and the Doctor Deputy stayed up all night digging a hole to bury broken gargoyl...

The troupe is locked in combat with the Gargoyle King and five miniature gargoyles. New Rogue focused his powers entirely on keeping his goat safe, Shadow Nemesis tried to strike at the king, but hit Del instead, Tyler effectively conjured illusory clones of himself to draw the attention of the gargoyles, and Del psychically attacked with a Cronenberg-like jamboree band. The Doctor Deputy discovered that he couldn’t attack the gargoyle king unless it first attacked every member of the troupe, an...

Wet Change entered the church in the Nameless Graveyard and, when Del realized it was Thanksgiving, they decided to celebrate and found some food and drinks. Rumpleforeskin made a berry jelly and baked a calzone inside themself, they all played cards, and the Doctor Deputy put on such an incredible show with the Tech Deck that Tyler gave it to him permanently. They all said what they were thankful for, received gifts from the Watchers, including a goat for New Rogue that he can pet without harmi...

The troupe left Protection Town and set off toward the Barren Hills. Del got her phone out and shared photos of them all in happier times and New Rogue connected again with Shadow Nemesis by reminiscing about Wet Change’s more bizarre sketches until they arrived at the Nameless Graveyard. Coming upon a church, they investigated the strange statues atop it, and when Tyler discovered that those stone gargoyles were cursed and would come alive at night, Shadow Nemesis smashed their heads off. But t...

The troupe had some loose ends to tie up before leaving Protection Town. Tyler saved the Doctor Deputy’s life by transferring him into a rat and then into the extra doll he’d kept, Shadow Nemesis returned from the ethereal plane and the best sex of his life and threatened to slice up New Rogue if he ever touched the squire again, Del received Unsoilable Underpants of Fortitude from the mists, and New Rogue was given the ability to send messages back and forth with Denton Arthur. With a robot bod...

The troupe has become further divided! While Shadow Nemesis was being charmed by the demoness Lucretia, Tyler and Del noticed that they always seem to need something to fight against, otherwise they devolve into petty infighting, and New Rogue taught the Doctor Deputy to channel prayer into magic before the squire revealed he’d in fact been praying to the god of death and they too began fighting. Shadow Nemesis ignored Del’s pleas to stay, left with Lucretia to picnic in the ethereal plane, and ...

The troupe suffered fallout from the bathroom ordeal that began at Chateau Nemesis. Tyler fastened a cloak into a kilt and gave Del his pants along with his jug of alchemy, which produced only mayonnaise, leaving it to Rumpleforeskin to lead a firefighting robot over to Del to finally spray her off. Meanwhile, New Rogue began the Doctor Deputy’s first lesson in prayer, but was interrupted by Shadow Nemesis, and an argument ensued in which Del pushed Shadow Nemesis out the window. Shadow Nemesis ...

After hearing the Doctor Deputy’s concerning intentions, Tyler and Del convinced Denton Arthur to program safeguards into the squire’s robot body, Shadow Nemesis tried to teach the squire to not kill innocent people unless he was told to, and New Rogue unconsciously destroyed Ivan with his spectral hands and was left feeling even more distraught. As the troupe debated where to rest up, Shadow Nemesis locked himself in a bathroom to feed Shadow Master, leaving Del to run around and fail to find a...

After the robots saved the burning church, the troupe tried to get their bearings. Shadow Nemesis convinced Denton Arthur to make a robot suit for the Doctor Deputy, the squire voiced his excitement about shooting villagers, Del and Tyler realized they would have to be the ones to teach the squire to be a better person, and New Rogue was incensed by the injustice of Shadow Nemesis being rewarded with a gun from the mists. But the troupe soon learned from Ezra that mysterious being known as the W...

The troupe entered Denton Arthur’s workshop, where the old man scanned their souls to distinguish them from doll swaps or doppelgangers in the future. Shadow Nemesis posed as a like-minded scientist type to ingratiate himself, Tyler covertly warned Denton of Shadow Nemesis’s nefarious ways, and New Rogue asked him to make him some protective gauntlets and boots, but as soon as they started experimenting, they both got blown up. Del and Tyler healed them up, but as they ventured out to find a pla...
