Our heroes continue their battle against the Efreet in order to clear the way for the Azers and Dwarves to exit Red Rock. Whether they face the flame or find the light, one way or another, they are determined to leave the Underdark behind them.
Our players face a hodgepodge of Nintendo figures scattered around Thomas the Tank Engine themed scenery in Red Rock Revolution Part 1: a battle-map-centric-episode where Will’s DM battle prep secrets aren’t the only things out of the bag.
The party attempts to settle a dispute between 2 desperate parties in order to garner some help in the last leg of their journey. Meanwhile, in the heat of the moment, the Grease Wizard makes an on-brand decision that affects at least one leg of his own.
When Tommy, Jessica, and Lexy go on the run, things go sideways in Willowbrook.
The party makes its way across the Nightmarch in hopes of finally reaching Redrock, though doing so may well exchange one set of dangers for another.
Your sweaty heart
Will make you weep
You'll cry and cry
And try to sleep
But sleep won't come
The whole night through
Your sweaty heart is greasy too

When Jessica, Tommy, Lexy, and the rest of the campers head to the wild camp, things get a little wilder than anyone bargained for.
Danger is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Dark depths make falling dire

And went down, down, down
Into the river muck and mire
And it drowns, drowns, drowns
The web of fire
The web of fire
