The Outpost, “This is One Strange Town”, Review!

Night at the Outpost, Talon takes a walk, hears the mysterious Blackblood, Rebb, and swings her sword.  She says the Dragman went with her and also explains that there was an alliance of humans and Blackbloods with her people ready to ambush the humans from the Plain of Ashes in the portal, but it wasn’t opened.  Rebb wants the gift Talon’s mother gave her to open the portal.  They get into a duel and Talon is defeated.  Talon is not the last of her people, but she has to deal with the Blackbloods in the portal or the humans will face another threat.  Later, Janzo walks with a bag complaining to Talon.  Gwynn is in the tavern playing cards with gamblers who can’t win against the queen.  Talon pulls her away and Gwynn shows the messages that the lords have sided with the Prime Order.  Janzo gives her a drink to sober her up.  He says that a new commander is needed.  Talon tells Gwynn to train the soldiers.  Morning, Gwynn makes battle plans, digging barrier trenches.  She walks with Naya and asks about the traitor.  A horn is sounded.

At a tower, Gwynn sees the approaching army led by Tobin.  The leader Tobin (Aaron Fontaine) speaks with an older woman (Glynis Barber).  Gwynn identifies herself and the other woman rides up next to him.  The two riders follow Gwynn and the Mistress goes out to see them. Naya prepares Gwynn, the bearded rider enters the chamber, he offers to turn over his army and land in exchange for marriage!  Queen Rosamund is about to send him away.  He says he will be her consort, not king, he just wants a son.  The Mistress is met by the woman, Gertrusha, who calls her Helen.  They are sisters and Gertrusha is the governess of Tobin.  The Mistress tells Brogan that she wants to raise the price of colipsum.  She wants to show her new gained wealth.  Gwynn plays cards with Talon discussing their plans.  Their conversation goes from Tobin to Garet.  Gwynn brings up Janzo and also that the baron offered to marry her.  Janzo is working at the inn and sees Talon drinking.  The Mistress calls for Janzo to get a drink for Baron Tobin.  He seems to be a new complication for the people of the Outpost.

Tobin sees Talon walking down the steps, she talks with him, and slams his arm down.  Janzo brings the drink to Tobin.  Naya checks on Gwynn who tells her that she wants to set Talon up with Janzo.  Naya has a bit of jealousy especially when the queen orders her to make Janzo worthy for Talon.  He still is nowhere near solving the Plagueling problem.  Janzo is busy with his alchemy in his lab.  He is startled by Naya and she mentions the queen’s order.  She brings up a make-over for him and changes his posture.  His burly brother, Munt, is startled by Janzo’s appearance.  Tobin is not impressed by him.  Talon passes by Janzo.  Tobin grabs Naya and Janzo goes to her defense getting knocked out.  Naya checks on him.  Talon strikes Talon and slams him against the bar knocking the baron down.  Talon has a compress on Janzo’s head in his lab.  Talon admits she will turn over the gift to Rebb.  Morning, Wythers leaves his horse, and takes a torch to find his son.  He searches the bodies, but only finds Garret’s sword.  A mystery!, is Garret alive?, I think so, but not where he is now.  Complications, but no resolutions in this episode.  

Three Daggers out of Five!
