Having made a deal with Mordecai to clear the path of their investigation, Ben and Joe set out to hold up their end so they can get back to it but seems not everyone is so keen to let them go unobserved. They'll have to deal with that if they are to do their job. After that, they'll have to deal with the cousins. They'll need to come up with a plan, and they'll have to hurry. Whatever dark machinations the eldritch had have started in motion. Ben and Joe bear witness and have a chance to frame the incident how they choose, but how they proceed may very well hold the fate of many ignorant souls. Will they make the right choices? Can they face what's coming? And after the incident in this episode, Ben and Joe need to ask themselves, can this power even be stopped?Credits:Author and Dungeon Master/Keeper: Tony DionisioSound Editing/Engineering: Spencer PeersonProduction Lead: Dave LarsonSome Royalty free music from https://www.FesliyanStudios.comAdditional Music by Nicolas Jeudy of Dark Fantasy StudiosBased on the novel "Best Intentions" and inspired by the works of H.P.
