S02E11 - Does This Amulet Make My Butt Look Big?

Monster Monster

The underground markets hold more than exotic trinkets and black market goods—they conceal the entrance to a vast network of power players working beyond the reach of law and crown. When Vance, Dolo, and their new companion Dudley Wayne Budley find themselves descending beneath the dockside markets, they're stepping into a world where magic and politics intertwine with deadly consequences.
What starts as a simple transaction spirals into chaos when Dolo impulsively puts on a mysterious amulet, causing it to painfully fuse with his skin. The decision unleashes a shocking revelation as Alyssum—the woman who had previously captured our heroes—briefly possesses Dolo's body through the artifact. The trio quickly learns that removing the amulet might prove fatal, forcing a difficult choice: risk death or learn to control a magical item that threatens to steal Dolo's autonomy.
Deeper still, they meet Silva, the enigmatic leader of this underground organization, who reveals the true nature of the ongoing war. The conflict between Soldeus and Mystria is merely a facade, masking a power struggle between four shadowy figures controlling nations from behind the scenes. Alyssum, it seems, has her grip on Soldeus, while other equally dangerous players command their own territories. Silva offers our adventurers a proposition—infiltrate Alyssum's organization to undermine her influence, using the very amulet that now grants Dolo new magical abilities despite its dangerous connection.
Armed with emergency skywriting scrolls, golden emblems of Silva's organization, and newfound knowledge of the world's secret power structure, our heroes board a boat bound for Soldeus. But as they depart, Silva pulls Dudley aside with a separate, secret mission—planting seeds of potential conflict within the group just as they venture into enemy territory.
The stakes have never been higher, the magic never more dangerous, and the lines between allies and enemies never more blurred. How long can Dolo resist the amulet's influence? What awaits our adventurers in Soldeus? And what secret mission has Dudley accepted?
