Last time on the Bestow Curse podcast, with her allies sinking below the waves on death's door, Nadri struck down Kleestad and the party was able to recover without further casualties. On his way back to consciousness though, Vek once again visited the dead god Aroden in his world between worlds and was able to confirm that Diego, Mir, and Sylvie still yet live. With Serithial in hand and a conviction to destroy the threat of Illeosa's crown of fangs one and for all, our undying hero heads back to Korvosa for the final showdown. Meanwhile, our own perspective shifts and we rewind the clocks back a few days to rejoin Sylvie as she begins to assemble her own party to participate in this year's breaching festival.
