They are the fever in a sick world, a symptom of the rot.

Episode 1: The First Shakedown The morning after pledging allegiance to Silas, the crew faces their first assignment as enforcers: collecting a debt from a desperate spice merchant. What should be a simple shakedown becomes a stark reminder of their lost freedom, as they execute orders with mechanical precision and receive mere coppers for their trouble.
Episode 2: The Bloody Straw Humiliated by Corvin's poisoned coin, Stigand seeks redemption in the only way he knows - through his fists. When he discovers an underground fighting pit in the depths of the Gutters, the warrior sees a chance to reclaim his lost pride.
Episode 3: The Northman's Fury A brutal underground fighting pit becomes the stage for Stigand's redemption as he faces the infamous Breaker in a savage contest of will and fury. What begins as a desperate wager transforms into something far more primal - a warrior reclaiming his identity through violence and pain.
Episode 4: The Price of Whispers In the wake of Stigand's brutal victory, Silene reveals her own deadly talents in the art of information warfare. From a dark corner of The Crooked Keg, she meticulously tracks the invisible threads of power, targeting a weasel-faced informant named Finnian who walks between rival factions. What begins as a careful observation transforms into a dangerous game of leverage and whispered threats, as the crew discovers that sometimes the deadliest weapon isn't a blade – it's knowledge of where the bodies are buried.
Episode 5: The Map of Power A blood-bought piece of intelligence reveals the true nature of power in the Gutters, as Orso and his crew discover their target isn't the brutal thug they imagined. When Silene reveals that Silas is no common street boss but a calculating businessman running a criminal empire, the team must completely recalibrate their approach.
