It’s the finale of the first arc and, therefore, the end of the first season of Playing Games with Strangers.
After going through a busted portal, the party is transported to Kitchen Pass and meets an old friend to help them lead the charge against Christopher’s reign over Waterdeep.

Wilder has an unexpected visit and the party travels to Daggerford in order to ask the House of Bulgar for their assistance in taking down Christopher.

After closing the portal and losing Aelin in the process, Pough wanders off on his own to clear his head and ponder his next steps to confront Christopher. Orbog, Gherroth, and Wilder go in search of their silly ol’ bugbear.

After returning to The Yawning Portal, the group is introduced to one of the few survivors that stormed the tower, Wilder Filch, and ask him to return so that they may shut the portal.

Meanwhile in Waterdeep, a group of rogues have been tasked by The Defiance to retrieve vital information against Damien Mephistopheles and Christopher. The stakes could not be higher.
