Revelations. Everyone was glad to be in a town, small as it was, particularly Pinch. A city was where he was most comfortable, where people could reveal the slightest thing with a simple misplaced glance, word or gesture.

Illusions. It had been an exhausting day. The group had settled in at the farmhouse, hoping for a good night’s sleep before moving on in the morning. Perhaps they would find some information in another town.

Traitor. While the group made itself comfortable in the old farmhouse, another man was making his way into the city of Rico.

Beyond. After being rudely thrown out of town, the group leaves the area. But what are they going to do now? Where do they go? For now, they resign themselves to walking away.
