"The team picks their heavy hitters, and sets out to kill a Steward of Crow Henge" - A Storm Part 26 .
== Plot Synopsis ==
== Trivia ==
*We are informed of the special "skills" of some of the supporting characters and factions, should the players choose to take them along while venturing outside of Underpoint.
**Thog: He's able to requisition additional resources, and he's able to micromanage smaller troops exceedingly well. He can functionally call in reinforcements, and he has a lot of hidden bonuses related to the world itself. 
**Astra: Fairly similar as to Thog, though she's able to bring in the Alm as backup. Furthermore, she'll be able to instantaneously bring the characters to any area of Freearch that the party has been before, without any random encounters.
**Firi: Grants the party additional turns, and if things go bad, she can "rewind the clock" and give the party another shot.
**Inien: Has no unique skill, because she's more powerful than the other characters.
**The Alm: Let's the party get their "lieutenants". The Alm are particularly hardy and powerful, and are generally very useful.
**Seemore Bloodshed's militia: Are familiar with the land, as well as tough fighters. Can help navigate the land, and even find shortcuts.
**The Alarani: Brings along thugs and construction workers.
== Quotes ==
* Ashe: Would it be best to leave behind heavy-hitters that we think could be susceptible to that?
* Harlock: Harlock leans in to Ashe. She shuffles over and whispers, in a way that everybody can still hear. I'm confident that I can kill everyone here. And then she shuffles back.
* Markus: Uh...
* Ashe: ...Great.

* Ashe: Inien. Do you know why I give you so much shit?
* Inien: Why is that?
* Ashe: It's because you're so fucking strong and cool.
* Inien: ...Looks away. It's fine when you say it like that. Whatever, it's fine. I'm cool, whatever. Goes and like, grumbles to herself in the distance.
* Thog: Ashe, be real. Have you been setting up your relationship so far that you can like, casually destroy her like that? Because I've never seen her back down that fast.
* Ashe: No, that was completely on accident, and I feel a little bad about it.
* Thog: Shit, no, don't feel bad, that was good.
----
* Harlock: Everybody has a Bloodshed in their families. Isn't that right, Inien?
* Inien: Haa... Looks into the middle distance.
* Markus: Wait, what!?
* Inien: We don't talk to that part of the family any more. Takes step over.
* Ashe: Wait, I need to clarify; Are you talking about a person, or an incident?
* Inien: Haa...

* Ashe: Markus really likes spaghetti. Just, you know, trivial information for you, Lyra.
* Lyra: Thank you. Yeah, let me know if you have any more... Stops, very obviously blinks. Battle tactics!
* Ashe: Right, right. I'll be sure to give you a lot of battle tactics, don't worry about it.
* Lyra: Okay, perfect.
* Ashe: I pat him on the shoulder.
