Welcome back, travelers, to Deck of Many Tales!

After a chaotic award ceremony, the party blows off steam at the Smiling Sword, a cramped tavern with bad drinks, better company, and a drinking contest that goes exactly how you'd expect. But the night takes darker turns: a ransacked office, haunting whispers, and a brutal confrontation at Eimira’s family estate.

As bonds are tested and secrets stir beneath the surface, the group finds fleeting warmth in shared food, scattered memories, and unexpected grace. But not all wounds are healed with laughter, and not every name is worth keeping.
