With The Dragon’s words echoing in the chamber that they’ve lost, Trix takes the opportunity to get another shot off at the final creature down below. Weakened from blood loss, they nearly fall off the rafter from the effort of the attack. Erdir reveals he doesn’t trust them, even though the Emperor does, and says he’ll spare their life if they join him. Trix climbs down to check on their companions, finding Rou has not survived the fight. Trix turns to Eight, finding them unresponsive as well, though revivable. When Erdir threatens to reveal Trix’s plans regarding the Emperor, they whisper to Eight that they have a plan before agreeing to cooperate. Later, Eight wakes up in a dark, dank dungeon cell. They find they’re chained to the wall and all alone. Realizing the chains and manacles aren’t enchanted, they use their magic to free themself. They receive a visit from Erdir, who boasts that Trix has betrayed them and Rou has died. A plate of food is deposited into the cell and, in a moment of defiance, Eight throws the plate at the window. The splatter misses its mark, but The Dragon merely smirks and leaves. Eight makes an attempt to leave their cell by dispelling the magic enchanting it, but kickback from the attempt causes them to lose consciousness again. Meanwhile, Rou’s body is dragged into a chamber inhabited by a bald stranger covered in tattoos. The stranger instructs everyone to leave, that they have “work to do.” Follow Dax @gmdax, Kappa @TheKappaChris, Sebastian @sebastianyue and Wren @ThornyDryad EPISODE CREDITS: Produced by Dax Opening theme music, editing and mixing by Wren Logo Artwork design by Jessie Character Artwork design by Riyuski Segment music and sound effects licensed through Epidemic Sound LINKS: Be sure to follow and tag Roads Uncharted on Bluesky!
