S6 E19: Left in the Dark
Taking a rest is great for long-term viability of any adventuring party. Lying to an Emperor and his powerful ally who has it out for you? Not so great.

Show Notes
Realizing they have a moment to breathe, the party takes a break to tend to their wounds and enjoy a short rest. They can hear the alarm still ringing in the distance, so they know it’s only a matter of time before they’re confronted by the enemy. As break draws to a close, Eight approaches Mongo and tries to convince them that they’ve been fooled and should tear through the Emperor’s fortress as payback. Mongo seems to agree and begins sniffing around. He comes to a portion of the far wall and uses the cudgel to break it, revealing a tunnel.
Trix insists the party leave without them, feeling they can still convince the Emperor they’re still loyal. As the rest of the party head down the tunnel, the Emperor, Erdir and some guards arrive. Despite Trix’s best efforts at convincing the Emperor, Erdir produces a glass orb and reveals a “playback” of Trix and Zero having a conversation about Trix’s plan. The Emperor then commands Trix to be locked away until their "flawed thinking" can be corrected. When they’re alone, hidden away in a dark magic cell within the walls, Trix hears breathing nearby.
