## Episode Synopsis

Russel leads the gang to Ironspire in what turns out to be a prisoner transport carriage of sturdy construction. On route, they figure out the rough location of Madaela’s aunt, Lady Yladra Shael, and get to know each other better. Katalina also attempts to gain a better understanding of the magical artefact she was given by Satra. Delvin gets a bit nervous and Katalina tries to reassure him by putting her hand on his shoulder. Arriving in the inner city of Ironspire, Russel provides them fake blood to appear more like prisoners, Delvin does a good job of appearing to be a Pompous Grayden whereas Brick does a bad job of pretending to be wounded. Therefore he stabs himself in the leg to improve his chances but accidentally does more damage than he intended to. Coming up to the gate, the guards are already suspicious as Russel is not very good at lying to them. Brick also ruins Delvin's facade with some truly awful lying. Luckily Katalina bails them out by using her magic to make them feel less suspicious. Delvin feels a strong magic coming for the spire as they get closer to it. They arrive at the holding cells where Katalina immediately washes off the fake blood and Brick wraps up his leg wound. Russel returns with information on the situation and how the people from Felmore appear to be imprisoned and guarded by Spire Guards. They have discussions of the best way to get into the Felmore House without being noticed. They finally settle on Katalina being a lost nanny, and Delvin and Brick dress up as Grey Guards. Delvin gets changed privately. Taking the backroads they avoid five guards before running into a suspicious Spire Guard. He sees through Delvin's lies and goes to attack Brick. Katalina unsuccessfully tries magic to persuade him that she is just lost. Having the upper hand the Spire Guard goes to arrest Brick before Delvin whips out a dagger and instantly kills the guard.

They run down the alley with two guards in pursuit, Katalina runs into the house but Brick turns around to help Delvin because he is too slow to outpace them. The first guard disarms Delvin, injuring his hands before Delvin reveals more daggers and disarms the guard. Brick charges the second guard who successfully defends his attack while Delvin is pulled into a chokehold. Katalina hearing the commotion runs outside and uses the magical artefact from Satra to spark a huge Fireball, made more powerful with help from Delvin. She throws it down the end of the alleyway successfully hitting a group of four guards, and two buildings and stunning the two guards in combat. Brick uses the distraction to disarm the second guard while Delvin guts the first guard after breaking free. Katalina stabs the first guard in the back before Delvin finishes him off by stabbing him again (In a kebab-like fashion). Brick impales the second guard even as he fights back, pushing it further in and shoving him against the wall. Delvin then finishes off the second guard with a knife in the neck. They all quickly run into the house as the fire spreads and run into Lady Yladra.
