The remaining party starts a mad scramble up to the top of the Council building, but it won't be an unhindered attempt.

BTT EoW 4.101: Between A Rock and A Void Place

Some say that two are better than one, but our players wouldn't... especially when it's TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS in an elemental and innate powers fight. The results of the showdown are plenty of carnage and one party member suddenly in dire straits.

BTT EoW 4.99: Flowing Free

In the race through the sewers to reach Sam, a new threat... or ally... (who knows) is discovered. As if infiltrating the city center wasn't hard enough. Jordan seems to be throwing up flares to distract the characters from their main objective. And one discovery in particular is quite compelling.

In this commentary episode, we talk about the longevity of this campaign and joke about new things we could throw in to the mix.

With a fearless duo reunited, they square off against a Council Member. Elemental powers fly around everywhere, and it appears that the end is near for one character.

BTT EoW 4.96: Watermarked

It seems as though the group was a bit more separated than originally thought. An unlikely duo attempts to team up for a daring rescue... of themselves. Confused yet?

BTT EoW 4.95: Reel To Real

A couple cryptic messages has the group feeling even more alone than before. It's clear that many view Consiglio as a lost cause, and maybe that's because some party members have a bad reputation in many different circles of influence. But if you think that will stop this group from continuing to mouth off, think again.

BTT EoW 4.93: Dead Man's Switch

Desperate times, desperate measures, that's about the only way to sum up the group's solution for the current dilemma. And as if things aren't bad enough already, a new Council member drops in unexpectedly. A couple characters spring into action with some quick-witted and unexpected counters of their own, but they trigger a dire consequence for one character in particular.

BTT EoW 4.92: Outside The Box Tech

Things start heating up in this episode, literally, with a Dead-drop recon mission, and a bunch of little Kaiju (nicknamed Kaijlettes) that just won't drop-dead as they are told to. But at least a couple characters may get some new tech gadgets out of it... if they survive.

BTT EoW 4.91: Code-Split

A Kaiju in the city, a cryptic radio message, and a decision to split the party; those are the ingredients for what we hope is a recipe for success. And Jeremy even attempts an interesting negotiation strategy with Jordan to steer the narrative in that direction. But who are we kidding. We know full-well how these things turn out.

BTT EoW 4.90: Commentary 21

In this commentary episode we fully wrap our minds around how much the city of Consiglio has fully spiraled into chaos... and Jordan's literal interpretation of the player's words is just the cherry on top. We talk about near-death experiences for characters and tying in some loose threads from the previous seasons.

BTT EoW 4.89: Go With The Flow

"No more carrying bodies." So the group waits for Jerr to regain consciousness. Before waking up Jerr has a vision and seems to make a big connection with his elemental, opening the floodgates to new found strength. We're sure this will come back to bite the characters in the batt later in the season though.

BTT EoW 4.88: Hold Your Fire

Sneaking across the war torn city in the middle of the night, what could go wrong? Well, despite some pretty epic dice rolls, everything. And we see one player character on the brink of death. When all is said and done, we blamed the trash panda.

BTT EoW 4.87: Trust But Verify

When a character you thought was dead makes a surprise appearance, eyebrows are raised. When two characters come back from the dead, things get even more interesting. But THREE... that's Bone Throwers Theater for you. Yes, 3 NPCs show up to shed some light on the current situation.
