Agency

DM's Recap
Out last episode saw our heroes valiantly attempting to regain their lives by appealing to Phadohr, god of life and death and a total bro. While Phadohr was willing to help them, he informed them they would need one more component: an essential core aspect of their psyche that had gone missing due to their horrifying death. Joined by plucky new crewmate Guy, the group sauntered towards the centre of Phadohr’s domain, the Hospice, and bore witness to his – as Chirp described it – ‘character creator’.

While Chirp and Murray explored alternate thems, and Fess and Dasle tried to break through the door of The One, Phadohr re-emerged with the power that would permit our heroes to take their destinies back: the agency. We witnessed a key piece of Bora’s history, gripped in the clutches of a thorny, viny creature, a glimpse into her history with a Silver Sterling. We witnessed the tense origins of Fess’s involvement in the revolution and her relationship with her sister. We experienced Murray’s sense of adventure and a montage of his life leading to the moment he left for the retirement home. We witnessed the Great Borros Baking Show and Ella’s sense of culinary perfection. We experienced a glimpse of Dasle’s history with a criminal syndicate and a particularly mysterious tome. And we got a day in the life of a young aspirant of Chirp’s monastery, with the omni-Guy bit finally reaching its zenith.

Once all agency had returned once more to the realm of Phadohr, who added their received items into the character creator and released them once more into the mortal realm – but not before they were whisked away into an entirely new place: the realm of Down, god of Comfy, who spoke to our heroes: ‘a bunch of new friends have entered my squishy squashy plushy realm.’
