This week in Witherwild, we discovered that pineapple on pizza isn’t just a culinary crime—it’s a felony with body count potential. Also, Richard has officially lost the power to be of use in customer service, so if you need a refund, good luck explaining your return policy to the abyss.

Karl carried the banner this session, trudging solo to Wyrmhearth Crossing. After a spa day the floating ribbit town was less “safe haven” and more “freedom fighter’ guild recruiting booth,” with assassins showing up to prove that alleyways are where fun goes to die. They tried to hit him with a sack of doornobs as Leroy tried to make sparks fly—literally, romantically—by shipping the prisoners together during the interrogation, but the dice gods said nope. Instead, the captives were magically compelled into telling the “truth,” which turned out to be a rich stew of rumors, half-lies, and the kind of misinformation you’d expect from people whose dental plan is “don’t get caught.”

Still, between scones, bitter coffee, and lantern-lit intimidation, we learned a few things: someone’s paying bounties, someone’s stirring the pot under Wyrmhearth, and the Fanewraith’s shadow is getting longer. None of it is reliable, of course, but unreliability is the most trustworthy thing about an informant. Karl closed the session before the group could hit the locked archives heist, meaning the cliffhanger is basically: “Do you believe the liars or the liars who accuse the liars of lying?”

To round things out, we dug into the Scarlet Veil Syndicate—our resident mage mafia who run protection rackets, flower dens, and magical arbitration courts that smell faintly of burnt sugar and bad decisions. They thrive in the cracks between empires, rebels, and locals—basically, if there’s power vacuum, they’ll fill it with spores and contracts.

Meanwhile, my other party has officially split the difference: half are going for a prison break, half are leaning into interrogation. We’ll see who regrets their life choices faster.

P.S. Karl still didn’t get the romance subplot, but he did manage to get a truth out of someone magically bullied into honesty. Progress? Maybe.
