## Episode 39 - For Dignity! For Justice! For RAID!

Listen to the episode Here!

Do NOT put on that crown! I'm warning you too, listener! Patty and The Dentist split from the party for a high-stakes side adventure... which means, of course, a deep delve into Patty's dubious RAID-based past. Chet is here to put the GERBIL in MANifesto -- and wait, who's this group of rag-tag comrades under Patty's guidance? Plumpy, Tux, and Gabby, three characters that exist mainly to convince you the main characters are actually competent.

## Summary

* The party splits! Zelf, Janni, and Astra stay in the catacombs to find the Chairman's secrets, and Patty and the Dentist bring Ten-Face's gang to the Hunters Guild.
* Patty and the Dentist go to the train station and set the copies of Astrology Today on fire.
* We flashback to Patty's time at RAID, 4 years ago, right after Patty and Hemmifer picked up bombs at Newhaven from Bruler.
* Chet Gerbilla is planning on blowing up the Serenity Resort and Spa in Bigrim, Reskarus, to get back at Dominus Peddledream and the Errosian Resettlement Office (ERO).
* Patty meets her new gang for the mission: Plumpy, Tux, and Gabby, who are all widely unprepared to do anything,
* The gang sneaks into the spa to plant bombs.
	+ While fighting a Sirocco cleric in the laundry room, the floor collapses and Tux and Gabby drop into a room with Janni Brightchild in it.
	+ Gabby is knocked out by Janni, giving Tux time to escape.
	+ Patty cuts the Sirocco cleric's hand off.
* As Patty, Tux, and Plumpy flee, Janni catches up to Plumpy and brings him in for questioning.
* Patty and Chet simultaneously set off their bombs, and Chet delivers his manifesto but doesn't mention RAID in it at all.
	+ Orim and the Sirocco are knocking out RAID members as Chet does this.
* Tux is swallowed whole by Genbu, Janni's tortoise friend.
* Patty and Chet escape, but Patty is utterly distraught by the loss of her team and Chet's indifference to the cause.
* Back in the present, Patty tells the Dentist that they're better off working alone and she sadly walks back to the Vilnit estate.
