SLAY Episode 92: You Insult Me
Lincoln and Billy are in Cordis. Lincoln is about to meet with Juanita. Billy is sneaking in another round of training with Morgan Stone, former assistant to Kellius Droman, father of Delilah.
After Lincoln’s meeting, he intends to take Billy shopping at the Clearinghaüs to see if they can find Billy a signature weapon, something Billy can train with and master.
Lincoln sent a message to Peanut, manager of the Clearinghaüs, asking to set some ideal weapons aside for the purpose. Did Peanut find something ideally suited to Billy’s skills?

SLAY Episode 91: Little Loser
Dante Oganov is getting ready to make another run at Callista to take over her criminal holdings in Lumencia. Dante, with help from Lincoln’s friend and former lawyer Dillon Cantrell, set up a bounty to test Lincoln. Lincoln had to defeat a swarm of lagrounes, water-based undead that attacked from beneath the Bendelson Bridge near downtown.
Dante is on the run from Vestinian, who once tasked Dante to find Billy Middleton. Dante failed. Vestinian wants payback. He hired famed bounty hunter Icepick to find Dante. Icepick, and his familiar Herbie, a giant, diamond-plated tortoise known as a diamortuga, had an early run-in with Lincoln and Billy at the bridge just before Lincoln & co took out the lagrounes.
Now, Lincoln has been summoned to Cordis for a talk with Juanita Socorro, the Clostator of the Bastion. Lincoln does not know what she wants, but he has no choice but to obey her summons.
Billy is joining Lincoln on the trip. Together, they will visit the Clearinghaüs pawnshop and find Billy’s signature weapon. Lincoln, of course, is unaware that Billy has been sneaking off to Cordis for magical training sessions with Morgan Stone, the former assistant of Kellius Droman and former protector of Droman’s daughter, Delilah.
