In this action-packed epilogue for the first book of The Nine Trials find out what really happened to Dirt Cat!  At the river by the dam secrets are learned, justice is served, and not everyone makes it out.

Discussing the final chapter, we REALLY love haunted houses, and squirrel plans.

Bonds, treaties, and farewells in this last chapter of the Nine Trials as the new cat council shapes the future of the neighborhood...

Building characters, builds character.

The rats survive another day, Queen Victoria plots, and Barbara moves in to "handle" the problem.

The newly formed Cat Council faces off against thieving Ravens and duplicitous Gutter Rats.

Reminiscing about favorite neighbor dives, learning about "headhunters" and the origins of The Nine Trials.

The Ristorante Salsiccia is the destination.  Tributes for the coyotes and the squirrels are on the menu.  The neighborhood is watching...

The conversation turns to the struggles of the day and enduring friendships during the pandemic.

Will the offering of a sausage be enough to sway the leader of the coyote pack into giving assistance?  As the politics of the neighborhood continue to unfold, questions about the cat council weigh heavily... 

The origins of NPCs, character motivations and decisions, and why vegetables aren't real.

Armed with new information and a sausage the group heads out to parlay with the coyotes with whom they have a treaty, but it seems not everyone is on the same side...

80's television inspiration, cat conspiracy theories are discussed, and how a character that didn't exist at the beginning of the session becomes a major player in the campaign...

Secrets are survival, and the squirrels may know a thing or two about that.  Journey to the other side of the street and visit the food court...also known as the court of the Queen of the Squirrels...
