A shadow falls across the great free city, cast in the dancing red light of fire. Four Knights, five questions, fewer answers than can satisfy the Knight of Scrolls, but Bottle cracks under so little scrutiny. The knights enjoy a sip of unearned peace within the eye of the storm, but from there all destinations are the maelstrom. The pieces are arranged on either side for a great conflict, their placement determined by an inscrutable logic beyond my hazy sight, with the Knight of Masks standing in the vacated place of the queen side bishop. But no! The skirmish canceled; instead, a show!  Two marionettes of flesh and bone dance together. Fickle the strings are, for they will pull one hither and tither, but when cut leave one free as a motionless pile of carved wood. — If you like the show, it would mean a lot to us if you'd share the trailer with a friend!

The sunken house sits empty but for the whispers of schemers. Hear them hiss: The Knight of Skulls is dead, all hail the Knight of the Cracked Skull. The lance of Knights don holy vestments, seeking to hide their shame. But hark! Hear the child's cry. To arms! To arms! The Knights claim that which they have no right to: Mask threatens a damnation he has no authority to utter, as the Knight of Bottle takes hold of the minds of brave men, and Scrolls assumes a cherished name to which she has no right. And who in shadows descends to punish their blasphemies? My eyes are clouded by the endless revolution of a single day...   Check out our other podcast: Cthulhu-Con!

And ‘lo they wept or’e the Knight of Skulls, broken in the arms of his brother, a voice from beyond echoing in their ears. To darkness they turn! Out of light! To darkness! The Knight of Masks speaks in a false voice to His flocks whilst the Knights of Bottle and Scoll wreak havoc in a room of bones. All the while the brother laughs with his infernal beast, that unholy marriage of canine and primate. The mercy of Lathander be to them! — If you like the show, it would mean a lot to us if you'd share the trailer with a friend!

I see a dance, vulgar and bizarre. Mask leads the dance, though neither he, nor any dancer know the steps; Yet in its conclusion the Knights are welcomed into the heart of the festival. The knights bargain for knowledge forbidden. Two bottles of knightly ichor loom over the tale. One with the trickster, one with the jealous knight. Both portent disaster. The hireling pays the price, while Skull gains the prize. The knight of Scrolls warns of the scaled monstrosities that lie ahead, her warning disregarded. Lament! No wall built of warning or brick will bar the knights from their awful fate. — If you like the show, it would mean a lot to us if you'd share the trailer with a friend!

Now beyond where credit extends to their names, only the prince of metals and its lesser cousins will speak for the knights. The quartermaster spends freely on strands and sticks, be they half score in length or cast from pork, but the yellow and purple baubles will be left behind. A new foe suddenly appears and is crushed under a mighty tree, a new more suddenly friend crawls out from the fallen boughs. In search of the second, the third finds the first and the City of Crossroads has become host to a most strained reunion. — If you like the show, it would mean a lot to us if you'd share the trailer with a friend!
