We've said it before, if you show your players a tower, they are going to want to know what's inside. And in this short bonus episode we will see what goodies Tilly, Tavin and Toolie find for themselves.
This was recorded with the same session we released last week, but did not fit in the flow of the narrative. So we decided to put it here instead of throw off the feel of last week's show.
We will be back next week with another giant episode filled with emotional moments for our heroes!
