S2E4 - Stray Not and Be Safe

Episode Notes

Content warning for graphic violence and depictions of suicide

Our conversation with Cipru was immediately cut short by an ambush of members of the Sangele — a riverboat mafia, who must work at odds against the Wolf Armada. But, according to Cipru and Viidra, this ambush is out of character for them. They both agree that there is something far more sinister behind this attack, as Tommerby has not outright drawn the ire of the Sangele, and they would have no reason to do a full out bombardment against Cipru himself.

There are very few things that can compel a man to violence against his will. We saw manipulation into silence at the hands of Aldrich, can this be compulsion at the hands of Dragomir?

One thing is for certain: it was not a message aimed directly at us, the Rams. The ones planning to stir the pot. It is a message from someone else, designed to take out the leader of a powerful settlement. Foreman, mayor, militia leader. What is that saying about eggs in a basket?

Crowns on a head. Targets on a man.
