Lesser Evil

In the explosive season finale, the Working Stiffs infiltrate the Crescent Hotel and Casino, where Wick destroys evidence, Bromine mediates conflict with a co-worker, Fen protects the Union's interests, and Kaeren makes a decision that alters the fate of Rockport.

The Working Stiffs uncover more information about the potential Athame union, search Javi's house, and make a startling discovery.

The Working Stiffs reconnect over lunch and share what they learned on their day off. Their peaceful lunch is interrupted by a message from M who has a new mission for them. Attend Happy Hour at the local dive?

Kaeren meets a mysterious benefactor, takes in a burlesque show, and has a serious talk about lycanthrope rights.

With the Cosmos Heist complete, Fen enjoys his day off by going into the office. While there, he sneaks into a sub-basement to ask career advice from a massive fungus. Afterwards, he gives up something important, plays some video games, and loses at cards.

We take a breather from corporate freelance work to see what other clients our favorite dragonborn fashion victim has on their roster.

With the Cosmos Heist complete, Wick takes a well earned day off. To do personal work.

The Working Stiffs finally get eyes and (mage) hands on the Cosmos Caster. A showdown with Chester leads to chaotic investor's meeting and Wick ruining several lives.

The Working Stiffs travel deeper into the labs of Cosmos Inc. where they are confronted by a new enemy. A door.

The Working Stiffs set out to "reacquisition" the a-Cast. Along the way, they meet a burlesque star, infiltrate a rival company, and do a little matchmaking.

The investigation into the Athame cyber attack continues. The Working Stiffs tail a fellow employee and are introduced to cat cafes and the world of MMORPs.

The Working Stiffs are the number one suspects in the Warders' investigation of the cyber attacks at Athame. After receiving some insider information from a cryptic source named M, they head into the vents to do a little light detective work.

Bromine climbs through the vents of Athame to follow up on a lead. Wick follows Bromine into the vents for some reason before writing an antivirus. Karen makes progress on the financial reports. Before also finding herself in the vents. Fen fights a child. After crawling through the vents. Seriously, so much vent work this episode.

Welcome to Rockport, a once human city now a bustling metropolis of diverse cultures all under the watchful eye of the Dark Lord Morkherre. We meet out Working Stiffs: Bromine Slatebrack, a dragonborn rogue with a penchant for gummy candy and energy drinks, Fen Venthen, a firbolg druid who loves mushrooms and his mom, Wick U'rathiel, a half orc half elven wizard/artificer with an anxiety disorer, and finally Kaeren McKracken, a gnomish bard, a high charisma, high femme cubicle cutie. 

The world of men has fallen. The halfling heroes have been slain, and the Dark Lord reigns supreme over all the nations of Midworld. That was one hundred years ago, and as far as evil overlords go, Morkherre was pretty decent. He ended the war, provided healthcare, and was an early investor in arcanotech and the interweave. Join our band of Working Stiffs as they juggle life, love, and just trying to make ends meet in late stage capitalism. Lesser Evil is a D&D 5e actual play podcast set in a modern-ish world where the good guys can't win. We hope.
