The Outpost, “Dying is Painful”, Review!

Yavalla has taken over the Capital and at The Outpost, a former commander, Jaaris, has taken over with the power of his zinj!  The weakened Gwynn appears as Zed splits up with the Garret and Talon disguised as guards.  A woman is brought out to get Zinjed by Gwynn.  The zinj is transferred and holds Tobin holds her up.  Zed removes his armor and has the bomb created by Janzo.  He fights with guards using a helmet and then his sword.  Zed has a sword to the remaining guard to try to discover Yavalla’s location and then slices him.  Then, Zed throws the bomb which ignites the statue to Yavalla.  A woman comes in to warn about the fire and everyone is sent to put out the fire.  The disguised Garret and Talon appoint themselves as guards to the queen and sent the other guards to the fire.  They knock out Tobin and put a sack over Gwynn’s head.  Talon asks Gwynn where is the last of the Three and Garret knows the prison she is held in.

They take Gwynn and Tobin in a cart covered with a cloth and send the prison guards to help with the fire.  The last guard is knocked out by Garret.  They take the Zinjed inside the prison.  At The Outpost, there is battles in a ring with Blackbloods, it is savage.  Jaaris wants blood.  Wren is told to clean up the ring.  Janzo questions Jaaris and is told to taste food for poison.  Jaaris wants Walita to sit with him and Munt tries to defy him and suffers from Jaaris’ zinj.  Janzo says that he won’t work for Jaaris and reminds him that he is the only brewer.  The Zinj woman, Liecia (Tamara Aleksic), looks at Wren, she is about to infect a guard, but Yavalla tells her to only use it on her duaghter.  The woman decides to take revenge by Zinjing the guard.  At the Capital, Garret searches for Two (Jelena Stupljanin) and finds her.  He explains that she brought him back to life and wants her to do the same with Gwynn.  They are going to kill her to save her from the zinj.  She smiles at the desperation and wants to safely go The Outpost.  The other Three have left.  Two says that a life has to be given to revive another!  Makes sense, the mind control zinj drains the life from each Zinjification. 


The Capital, the smoke rises from the fire, Zed takes a stray cloak to hide from the castle guards.  The Outpost, the ring fights continue, Janzo gives water to citizens and has a quiet moment with Wren.  Janzo admits the Locuri are not responding to his summons.  At the prison, Two is freed, she has a menacing stare even tired and pale.  Talon checks the prisoners to find one who is without remorse.  Garret says the old man who lost his mind would make for a sacrifice.  Her green zinj drains the life from the prisoner.  Talon removes the hood from Gwynn wanting Yavalla to see her.  She starts to choke Gwynn, this is horrible under any circumstance, and Yavalla feels the suffering.  Captain Orlick (Dragan Micanovic) says that Yavalla is now queen with Gwynn’s death.  The Zinj leaves Gwynn and Two uses her zinj to bring her back.  Tobin revives and Garret stabs him and his zinj slips away.  It looks like Garret has already decided to sacrifice the other prisoner!  Two deaths is kinda startling.  Two takes the life of the other prisoner.  She uses her zinj to bring back Tobin.  Three resurrected people?  Must not be a coincidence.

On horses, Baroness Falista, she married Tobin in the fourth episode, demands to see him to Jaaris behind the Outpost gate.  If Tobin died, then his obligation with his wife may be invalid.  The rat test is waved around them and Falista has her warriors sheathe their weapons.  Her female warriors are very Amazon!  Jaaris wants their horses killed, but Falista and her warriors enter the Outpost.  She enters without any word about her husband.  Janzo is angry that Munt is eating food.  He realizes that Yavalla wants to cut food supplies to the Outpost.  Gwynn explains that they can leave the Capital, Yavalla would not detect them, the last prisoner is freed.  They disguise Two in the prisoner’s cloak.  Gwynn starts to leave the Capital as queen with Tobin.  A Zinjed man tries to reach out for Gwynn’s guards, but is killed by Zed in the shadows!  In a forest, the group moves seeing refugees, Gwynn wants to help them, but they need to get the Outpost as fast as possible.  Since they left the Capital, I wonder about Naya, the handmaiden who was in the last season, she went to find her family at the Capital.  


Two has contempt for Talon and gets a fist for it.  She says that the White Zinj was from the Plane of Ashes!  Falista asks about Tobin to Janzo and Munt knows her.  Janzo tells her that Tobin might be dead.  Night, at the forest camp, Garret tells Tobin that he has to tell Gwynn about his marriage.  Talon is suspicious about what Two said about the White Zinj.  Morning, Janzo at the Outpost gate is rat inspecting the refugees.  He realizes that the rat is freaking out at the infected guard who is dazed.  He calls the guards that kill him.  Jaaris closes the gates.  The infected woman watches them.  The gate and portcullis is lowered.  Jaaris threatens Janzo.  A woman pleads to Janzo for food to give to her daughter.  He tries to reassure her and then he sees the sleeping Munt.  Janzo is disturbed by the rats and realizes that they can be used as food!  He gives the woman food.  At the ring, Jaaris kills a fighter, but then Wren meets with the infected woman.  They struggle with Wren trying not to get Zinjed.  The woman is killed by Jaaris who helps up Wren.  Then, he has Wren fight in the ring!  Talon’s group has reached the Outpost.  Gwynn decides that they will all enter the Outpost.  We get a battle with Wren, the end of Jaaris, and the freeing of the Outpost with another surprise!  


Four Zinjes out of Five!
