Hock has been consumed by the darkness, and this turn of events has sent his friends into a panic. Now they need to find a way to save this grumpy old man and banish this monstrous thing once and for all before it can consume anyone else. It will take some clever thinking and some powerful magic, but if they are lucky, they may be able to pull it off.  The thing is, they can't afford to fail....

The Hunters have reached the clearing where the monster has run to. Now it is time to banish the creature once and for all before it gains another foothold. Unfortunately, it may already have a foothold among them. Someone got infected and now it is threatening to take them over.  It is powerful, and it is hungry.  Theme music: Deadlight Chronicles, The Encounter, The Souls by Nicolas Jeudy / DARK...

Our hunters find themselves reunited in the woods outside of the lab, each half with their own stories to tell. They need to move quickly, though, if they want to have time to banish the bit of the in-between left behind.  They catch each other up on what is going on, as well as they can on the way to find where this monster hides. Theme music: Deadlight Chronicles, The Encounter, The Souls by Nic...

Real-Kitty keeps leading the way until they get to a very creepy hallway. At first glance it is ordinary but they can feel in their bones that something is wrong. Something is here that doesn't belong. Other scientists are suffering from the thrall of this anomaly, completely oblivious to the world around them.  They find the anomaly with the scientist at the end of the hall and Darren does so...

Using the tech provided by Multae, our hunters find and secure the best location for the ritual. It is going to take all three of them working together to successfully cleanse this creature.  First, they need to summon it.  Then, they need to bind it.  Finally, they need to cast out the darkness.  It's the biggest spell Bart has ever done, and there are plenty of ways for this to go wrong... T...

After breaking the news about the multiple worlds and the anomalies that threaten them, Joshua shares the real reason he works with Multae. Someone dear to him slipped through and now he is looking for a way to return things to the way they were before anyone else gets lost.  Annabelle is wracked with self-doubt after discovering there may have been a way to convince her people to stay, but Darren...

We find Annabelle and Darren on their way to Multae headquarters, located in a compound deep underground. They have been informed that someone wishes to speak with them. After that, they will be free to go.  So they agree to the meeting and find themselves in a video conference with a friendly man who introduces himself as Joshua. He is very apologetic about the circumstances of the conversation b...

Bart tries one more time to see if he can summon a jackalope, only to summon the nature spirit again. The spirit is not amused. It seems his magic is on the fritz and he, along with everyone else, needs some rest.  One hour later they get a call saying that they need to move now. The scientist was seen entering the lab. Roz refuses to cooperate with Multae as their friends have not been returned y...

Bart, Roz, and Hock meet with Kiersten and she explains the purpose of Multae as she understands it. Their friends were taken to meet with a higher up in the organization, then they will be returned safely. Multae wants to help them save the protector because they understand its importance.  Kiersten is a local. Hock knows her parents. She works as a personal shopper. The person who read her in kn...

Realizing the danger her friends could be in, Roz leaps into action, alerting everyone to the situation. She also reaches out to a net friend to see what they can find on this mysterious Multae. Using a mix of technology and magic, they chase after the people who have their friends while Hock handles the driving. Once they get close to the location, he puts in a few calls to see what information h...

Thoroughly floored by Annabelle's revelation, the hunters move on to their next problem. Bart may have a solution for how to keep Darren safe from the suits. He just needs their help collecting the ingredients.  Hock and Roz go off to collect some roses from a friend's house. There are, of course, some shenanigans that happen. In the end, though, they get more than they needed.  Darren and...

The time has come for a story to be told. Annabelle waits until everyone is present to share her tale of believing in something so strongly that it cost her everything. She is not of this world and she was banished to it for wanting to save it.  This rocks the way the rest see the world, as well as the way they see her. It could also give them a new avenue to accomplish their mission.  Now they ne...

After splitting up with Hock, Darren picks up his dad and drops him off at the house he was watching for a friend. He narrowly avoids being caught by the men in suits thanks to a cute kitty he was helping. Instead of leaving his dad to potentially be caught by these men, Darren chooses to draw attention to himself before fleeing to a hiding place Hock told him would be safe.  Bart and Roz are stat...

Our hunters are now well rested and very well aware of the potential danger they could all be in. Mysterious men in suits are after Darren, and there is no telling when they will uncover the identities of the rest of the group.  Hock springs into action, directing everyone to one of his safe houses while Darren works on finding a place to hide his dad. Meanwhile, Bart and Roz gather some things an...

Our hunters go their separate ways after escaping the lab, planning to meet up after everyone had a nice long rest.  Not long after waking up, Annabelle texts Bart asking if he could help her with something. He agrees to meet her at a nearby park and helps her solve a problem he never expected to solve. Meanwhile, Darren had decided to crash at Hock's place. Neither slept well and Darren woke...

Our hunters continue their delve into the underground maintenance tunnels under the lab. Their goal? To find a way to get in and find the mysterious object 51.  After blowing through the door they eventually find themselves in a more used part of the lab. Using his third eye, Bart is able to determine that the object is near where they are. There is also a moment where one of them may have been ca...

Hock shares his brilliant plan with the group. He leads them into the lab under the pretense of taking them fishing in the lake.  But, instead of fishing, he guides them through a secret entrance long forgotten into the old maintenance tunnels. Unfortunately, not everyone was dressed for such an escapade. The stakes are high on this, so they have to be careful. This could be their way in to find t...

Darren texts Annabelle to let her know that they are all going ‘fishing’ at the lab.  Hock is upset because he doesn't know why exactly they are doing this, much less why they are involving someone he believes is genuinely nice. He wants to make sure everyone makes it out of this okay and doesn’t know if he can protect everyone.  Annabelle pulls up as Bart is getting a magical read of the area...

The hunters gather in the local Waffle House to catch Darren, our Mundane, up on what all has been going on. They end up terrorizing the other person on shift, a talented cook named Steve, but eventually, they get Darren up to speed on what they have learned so far.  Bart explains that he believes he can remove the corruption from the protector spirit, but he may need the others’ help. He also goe...

In her apartment, Roz is able to download and print a series of maps sent by one of her net friends. They all focus on the lab; one showing heat signatures, radiation levels, and anomalies. Bart examines her extensive conspiracy wall while the maps print, noticing a few events that were related to him casting magic.  Meanwhile, Hock and Annabelle talk about their interest in this job. Annabelle sh...

After getting what information they can from Brooke, the hunters make their way into the cafeteria. There they find Damien, the security guard who was on duty when Brooke was attacked. His account of the incident matched hers, for the most part. He only saw it as it ran away but describes it as moving like a bobcat.  Hock takes a minute to catch up with an old friend in the cafeteria. The conversa...

We meet our group of hunters in a hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant, the Magic Wok, also known as Mrs. Betty’s. They have gathered there after responding to a posting offering a reward to whoever can deal with a creature that has been stalking the lab. Apparently, the creature attacked someone recently and one Dr. Benjamin Whaley is interested in making sure it doesn’t harm anyone else.  They di...
