Left Behind

The chaos crystal unexpectedly blasted out a gigantic beam of energy, effectively signaling its location to any interested people even whole sectors away. The Imperium, the followers of the Wooden Heart, they will all know to turn their attention to Cinder. What are Emile and the Vault Hunters going to do to stay safe, and how will Emile even be able to get this chaos crystal back under control?.....

Emile has managed to escape the collapsed pile of junk, despite Magpie's efforts to make it his end. He has some broken ribs to show for it, but that's not going to stop him from getting the chaos crystal returned to Firestarter...

In trying to gain access to a work space, Emile had to make a deal with Firestarter. The space would require him to retrieve a buried chaos crystal and return it to him, despite having no containment system to keep its reality-warping properties at bay. In order to pull that off, Emile's going to need a plan. And in order to stay alive, he's probably going to need a better plan... Previous Ironswo...

How DARE I leave the episode on the cliffhanger of whether or not the blockade run was actually successful? We spent the ENTIRETY of last episode doing that run, over an hour of everyone's time methodically moving through each moment of that high action scene, and then to just leave you waiting a week to find out if it actually worked? Well, you're about to finally find out... Previous Ironsworn C...

The clever ploy to disable all of the intercepting blockade ships failed, and so now it means that instead the Beowulf is utterly surrounded.

While Emile and Splinter were down inside Vega, the settlement on Taiga covered in an energy dome, they were securing Emile's power core.

Emile has transferred over to The Beowulf as part of the plan to use his old ship, The Stardust, as a distraction in getting through the blockade. The hope is that, given that The Stardust is a stolen, Imperium prisoner transport ship, it will draw enough attention for The Beowulf to make it through unnoticed. But will that plan be enough...?

Back in character this time! Emile's ship, The Stardust, and the chaperone ship, The Beowulf, arrive in a new sector to find that the Imperium has set up a checkpoint to screen traffic going in and out of the Outlands. Given that the Beowulf is itself a ship of Vault Hunters, a activity deemed illegal by the Imperium, making it through without incident is going to be a challenge... Previous Ironsw...

At a certain point, you gotta take a moment to stop, look around, and just take in all of the worlds around you.

Uh-oh, this is awkward. Emile walks in on Vert and Dash in the middle of letting his prisoner out of the cell.
