The Streets of Avalon: The Bleak Testament Episode 14

The Isles are in flames. There is a war in the streets. The Church of Enlightenment has declared the Griffons as Erlig-worshipping heretics. Our heroes are trapped in the Hilltop, the neighborhood's prison, surrounded by inquisitors of the Church of Enlightenment, and another, more terrible thing is lurking on the streets, uncaring of the lines that mortals draw between them.

Rassa has reached the port city, and is looking for answers on how to fix the artifacts that were disrupted by his nemesis, the sorcerer.

There is a bloodbath in the alleyway, and bath bombs in the alchemist's lab! The Church of Enlightenment is annexing territory with the blessings of the Griffons, people are losing their homes and businesses, and Watch Captain Orophon is calling in new Griffons from outside of the district to reinforce the neighborhood.

While all this is happening, Garlen, Zindlane, Morgan, and Baro must return to what's left of The Well to convince the seal's guardian to give the world just a little more time.

Flood season is over, the Zindlane, Baro, Morgan, and Garlen adjust to the new normal of The Isles. The Griffon Watch Captain has deputized the members of the Church of Enlightenment, and contact with the supernatural is now being prosecuted as being morally corruptive. Before our heroes can deal with that, however, they have a skull to return to the Lamplighters, as well as a way to potentially track down the Bleak Testament itself.
