Episode 1: Tower or Shadow
Bink doesn't trust Elle, and her honesty sharpens his suspicion. Over ale, she reveals a secret mountain path overlooking all of Ness.

Episode 2: Make the Screaming Stop
Alard's burdens are mounting: a leaderless lower quarter, rumors of dwarves, and no word from Ralan. Then Raef and Kray arrive unexpectedly with empty wagons, starving Outlanders, and blood on their hands.

Episode 3: A Predator in the Tower
A battered Bink brings Alard a stranger who beat him bloody: a beautiful woman with empty sheaths and a predator's eyes. The Black Tower drew her in, but Alard knows she came to Ness to kill. The real question is who. And can her deadly purpose serve the guild?

Episode 4: The Third Visitor
Alard's fortunes are finally turning: a hungry Gaotteland to court, a Harvest Guild seat to claim, a captain to promote. Then, a third unexpected knock. An old rival, transformed and lured by a glimpse of the hidden tower, craves its secrets.

Episode 5: The Drunken Deputy
Pete throws the upper quarter's party of the season, pouring Flatlands wine like water to loosen one tongue: Deputy Esmer's.
