== Synopsis ==
Rava is elevated after receiving her new toys. A fellow Bizealot asks what they do now and she responds by slaughtering the remaining members and returning home. Aguero returns to the circus with his new companion, named Echo. The pup begins to growl at a person before them. Sirobe responds with a growl of his own and Hylophagous introduces the two. They don’t seem to hate each other so he considers it a success. Aguero holds his dog out to the saint and asks to keep it which he agrees and mentions that they have a problem. Aragi, Ela, and Phylyco are “guests” at the bank of S.O.R.R.O.W. in captivity. Phyl and Ela seem pretty calm but Aragi is not taking it well, he’s been down this road before. Saint Opia pays them a visit and releases the two stealth kids and keeps the archer as payment for the trouble they’ve caused. Phyl and Ela return and are called to The Saint’s office but not after pissing off Lara. They blame Aragi for their actions and Hylophagous places a rule that NO ONE is to cross the border without his permission. Phylyco of course, is going to do just that and heads to The Bloodjaw to recruit Mal while Ela retrieves Sirobe. They leave Mort in charge of the bar, which goes exactly as expected. The four head to Pentropolis to free their companion. Aguero is remarkably prepared for a newborn puppy and trains little Echo rather quickly. For the first time since Mathite died he feels joy. He visits Dr. Ximer and asks if the puppy needs anything and also finds out it’s a she. He then visits Hylophagous who gives him permission to go free Aragi. The blind man asks Rava to join him using his friendship with her brother as the selling point. She agrees. Aragi is trying to contact the Saint with no success and is interrupted by Tragoudo’Nompel. The onyx dragonborn leads him to Opia’s office where he leaves him to their conversation. Opia begins her interrogation but Aragi has questions of his own. Opia claims she did not kill Mathite and that this scuffle her brother wants is nothing more than that. He is free to roam the bank but he cannot leave. 
Aguero brings his arrows to be enchanted and realizes that the prices are remarkably high. He and Rava depart for their rescue. Aragi attempts to leave the building but is aware of the power keeping him inside. He has a chat with Tragoudo and finds out more about the Saints and why S.O.R.R.O.W. is so hostile towards S.H.A.D.O.W. it’s painfully obvious that the “Good guys” are not from Aethel. Rava leads Aguero to the STG and flashes Cal’s deck and they let her in. Gregory is not okay with this. They don’t seem to take the hint and go ride a bullette. Team Phylyco arrive in Pentropolis and Gregory asks the assassin how the Blind guy and the hot chick got into the guild house. He doesn’t have an answer but suggests he handle them when they arrive. Aragi returns to Opia and asks her about her other brothers. She only mentions that she loves them all and she doesn’t want to kill them. He remembers that. He continues to asks questions to a point where she mentions she wished she kept Phylyco as his team comes crashing through the ceiling. 
Aguero and Rava arrive in Pentropolis to a dozen Shadow Thieves. Gregory steps up and once again tells them they need to explain themselves. Aguero gets agro and draws his bow but Gregory only glances in his direction and the fight ends before it begins. Rava then reveals she is the Horseman of Conquest so they aren’t killed on the spot. Team Phylyco starts attacking the crowd and a fight breaks out once again. Ela and Mal are incapacitated but Aragi is released and Phylyco has a private chat with Opia before also being set free and they all leave. It takes a bit but Aragi eventually realizes that no one was fighting back, they were killing innocents. 
The crowd runs into the duo and they all head back to Aethel together. While on the trip Mal and Ela wake back up. They all return and Phylyco and Aragi have a standard argument with Aguero, Mal, and Sirobe following them to the bar but Ela is death glaring at Rava. The young elf senses the anger and starts to bolt down the tunnel and summons her horse. Ela begins to chase her in a fury and mid sprint summons her horse as her skin gets ripped from her face and she transforms into Death Incarnate.
