Opening Song - "Banditos" by The Refreshments
Starting Location - In Desire's District (Last Hope)
Triton, as thanks, arranges transportation for the group to wherever they need to go by his friend Blynk - Song "Down" by 311
While traveling through the distance, Blynk see's a downed vehicle and dead life forms on his radar, offers to the group to stop and investigate
The group stops and finds Jet Star and Kobra Kid killed in what appears to be an ambush; Qaplowski takes the X-23 Defenders artifact from Kobra Kid's possession
While traveling the the "secret facility" full of tech, Blocus manages to remove the IOBO Extractor from the weapon and discards it out the vehicle
The group arrives at the facility; they are approached by a Krogoth named T'Mek - Song "Man in a Box" by Alice In Chains
It is revealed that T'Mek left Kontra due to their worsening of conduct, brutality and shadiness, far from what he felt they originally stood for. Qaplowski makes him aware of Ranger-X's plan to talk to Imperator Tu-Ton in the Tragic Kingdom. T'Mek is appreciative of the news and instead of trying to assault Kontra with his makeshift army, they will wait to join up with Tu-Ton.
The rest of the group investigates the facility; it is abandoned and empty. Indications that there was a three way fight between Metamorphs and those that were in the facility (as if there were two groups); facility was very close if not right on the border of the Vortexergy.
T'Mek tells them he knows of a Krogoth on the other side of the Bath of Fire that can provide quick and safe passage through The Warped Sea to get to Stellarvania
The group travels to the southern most point between the Vortexergy of War and the Bath of Fire
They meet the Krogoth that simply goes by Alyce - Song "Santa Monica" by Everclear
She offers safe passage for 500 IB's; the group only has 204 which she accepts. She also offers Earl to "take care of" Tesora but he declines
She chains herself up to the shabby wooden boat and creates a barrier around the boat to protect it from The Warped Sea and safely brings the group to the southeast coast of Stellarvania
She agrees to wait a little longer than usual for the group in case they return
The group arrives at shore which they are confronted by an Alterbeast named Tazma - Song "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" by The Smashing Pumpkins
He makes clear of a plan to assassinate King Miraak whom they believe is causing terrible things to happen in Stellarvania
The group, primarily Qaplowski, manages to coerce Tazma and his friends to join up with them to sneak into Castle Shimmer via a secret passage
As the group get through the break in the castle's defenses, they are ambushed; Tazma and his crew hold off the crazed soldiers and call for the group to go on without them
After Earl throws poor Tesora to her unknown fate up the pitch black stairwell, the group ventures through a horror filled stone stairwell that tests the group's resolve - Song "The Hall of Souls" by Trent Reznor
Surviving the stairwell, they are confronted by an apparition of King Miraak in what seems to be a large throne room - Song "Mister Superstar" by Marilyn Manson
King Miraak is severely disappointed to see the group rather than Lady Alanis, as he was hoping to unveil his creation to her, but figures this is a good time to "test it out"
The groups is confronted by Superbeast - Song "Superbeast" by Rob Zombie
Superbeast is a horrific creation, combining an Alterbeast with a Metamorph
Earl is able to recognize that the Alterbeast is actually Shadow who was part of his clan when younger
The group barely making it out alive manage to defeat the Superbeast (without the failsafe mechanism)
Outside to the main courtyard, they are greeted by Tazma and his crew, a small regiment from The Gauntlet and Kaylyn Smoak.
Kaylyn asks the group about what happened and is concerned that King Miraak is gone
Lady Alanis is now aware of the situation - Song "Kiss From a Rose" by Seal
There are people who are affiliated with The People of the Sun; they heal the group of any ailments and are a real sign of a peaceful presence there and not for war
Lady Alanis, recognizing Earl, thanks him for helping her "a second time". She hands him a scroll. She suggests that he go to Everlong not only for the scroll, but it seems as if for something else.
Closing song - "Gone Away" by The Offspring
