The Beowulf and Newton's folly are in orbit above Osolok, the icy planet where they find the Imperium fleet they've been chasing. Somewhere aboard these three ships are the prisoners, and it's up to Emile and Bash to figure out the best way to engage in this fight without endangering them.  Now that the showdown has finally come, can Emile and the vault hunters prevail...?

No more prep, it's time to get back in the action! Specifically, the action whereby the Beowulf has a gigantic, hill-sized space jellyfish above it, trying to suck the ship into its forest of electrified tentacles. If the Beowulf gets caught up in that thicket, it could be fully drained and disabled... Previous Ironsworn Campaigns Ironsworn: Western Frontier Ironsworn Co-Op Campaign Youtube Midnig...

Every once in a while it's important to take that step back and use an opportunity to know a little bit about what's coming up. I can only fly by the seat of my pants so well and keep it interesting.

They were too late. The invasion was fully successful before Emile, the Beowulf, and Newton's Folly were able to make it back to Cinder. But they're there now, and the question is all about what can be done now...

Time. Is. Of. The. Essence. Emile may have a fleet of ships ready to come to Concord's aid, but the battle has already begun and they are still far, far from home. Can they possibly get back fast enough to take save Concord from the Imperium's siege? Are they even powerful enough to stop the Imperium if they do...?

The gang is all here. In his lost search to get back to Cinder before the arrival of the Imperium, Emile has stumbled into the paths of the Beowulf and Newton's Folly. He now flies with two warships, and everyone is trying to make it back in time. But can they...?

Emile has phased through into the side of the Imperium carrier ship. He ambushed a lone soldier and took his uniform, now blending in. However, the radio chatter makes clear that his previously undetected ship, riding the underbelly of the carrier, has been noticed. They're scrambling fighters to find and destroy it. Emile has no immediate way to get back to his ship, and left alone it's sure to b...

Emile is left clinging to the underbelly of an Imperium ship carrier, bringing a fleet of single fighter ships to Cinder. These ships are going to be a hell of an aerial force for the Vault Hunters to contend with, or, if Emile plays his cards right, perhaps for the Vault Hunters to use for themselves...

Emile was trying to sneak his way into one of the fighters in Hyperion's hangar, but halfway through his ghosting through the side of it, the phase shifter got disrupted and he got stuck occupying the same physical space as the ship! Before he could try and make his escape, stun darts shocked him into unconsciousness, and this week we find out what the situation is going to be when he comes to......

The moment is now! Emile has the drop on the cultists from Anubis, if that is he can muster enough science fiction mumbo jumbo to send their ships away from Hyperion Station. Or maybe that's my job? Either way, we'll find out if Emile can regain his safety and get back to getting aid for the people of Concord...

Something different?! That's right, this week I'm celebrating that I got to be a guest of The Solo Roleplayers Podcast. PJ and I had a discussion that ranged from my roleplaying origin story to the joys of solo roleplaying specifically to how oracles can help break through blank page syndrome. It was a great hang, and I hope you enjoy! The Solo RolePlayers Podcast Go check it out! Previous Ironswo...

Curses, Emile has been poisoned by a nefarious duo of cultists from Anubis! While avoiding the worst of its effects, the psychedelic effects are still messing with his perceptions and causing the world to look much more intimidating. What's more, during this drug-induced paranoia, the cultists ARE actually after him! Despite not being in his right mind, he must somehow escape... Previous Ironsworn...

Emile has been secreted away to Hyperion Station, where he hopes to be able to convince The Builder and the assorted people there to lend aid to the coming conflict between the Vault Hunters and the Imperium.

Magpie has snuck off with an important, and specific, component necessary to the operation of the claw gantry in the Junk Pile. Without it, Emile is going to have a very difficult time retrieving the old, broken drill and loading it onto the skiff. And without *that* he'll need to completely rethink salvaging the Reacher from the inside of the magma. What to do, what to do...? Previous Ironsworn C...

It's only a matter of time before the Imperium investigates and finds the secret, Vault Hunter base here on Cinder. Fearing that, and looking for any way to be ready, Valkyrie has made the announcement that Emile's requests are to be taken with authority so that his plan to uncover the Reacher from the magma might reveal functional fighter ships inside. But can anything really be done in time...?...

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?
