The Outpost, “From Paradise to Hell and Back”, Review!

 At the mountain refuge of Yavalla, her followers part for our heroes, Wren leads Janzo and Munt.  The zinj lights up a follower’s brow.  Munt points out Captain Orlick (Dragan Micanovic), the once loyal soldier for Gwynn and The Outpost.  He says that only Wren should go inside.  She whispers with Janzo and he gives her a giant syringe.  At Yavalla’s throne, Wren argues about the choice of the zinj.  Yavalla calls herself a god.  Tobin looks out to a river as Falista joins him.  She brings up Rosamund.  Zed and Talon are sneaking into a camp and see the temple.  Talon sees Munt and Janzo.  Zed realizes that Janzo is waiting for something.  Yavalla reaches out to her daughter and the zinj starts to move, Wren takes out the syringe and injects her mother.  The orange zinj falls out into the stone floor.  Yavalla takes out the needle and still has her blue zinj.  They are all captured, but Wren is freed, Janzo points out the zinj in her wrist that makes its way to her temple.  Wren is lost!

Captain Orlick is freed of the zinj and then dies.  Wren tells Janzo that her mind is expanding.  Munt struggles as Wren tells Janzo to drop the syringe.  She has a knife to him, Janzo drops it, and then runs off with it.  He starts running, but is surrounded by followers.  Talon drags him from under a wagon.  Zed fights off the followers and sets off an "incendiary device."  Yavalla sends out her falcon.  The heroes race through the forest.  Zed strikes down the falcon with an arrow.  They run into a ruined stone home and wall.  This could be a waypoint for the followers.  Garret uses a model of The Outpost to show his strategy.  He wants to build a new wall to defend it.  She thanks him and Garrett tries to see if she is fine.  Gwynn says she misses the United.  He knows about being controlled.  She hugs her friend.  A guard reports about Tobin and his army bringing food.  The villagers cheer Tobin and Falista.  Talon asks Janzo about his plan.  Janzo is angry that Zed used the “incendiary device.”  He points out the bat guano which of course can be used in an explosive!

Tobin is wondering why Gwynn is upset.  She returns the ring to Tobin.  Wren searches her memory to go to Gwynn saying Two is not a god.  Night at the Outpost, Gwynn meets with Falista, she asks about the ring.  She mentions that loss of Gwynn’s chief advisor and brings up Tobin.  Gwynn is suspicious about Falista.  She brings up her lineage and connects to Gwynn’s family, she is her cousin!  Gwynn makes Falista jealous and she is stricken by Falista’s zinj.  Is she turning into a threat?  Morning, Janzo has perfected the “incendiary device” using a pumpkin.  Garret reports to Gwynn that the guards are checking villagers and animals for the United.  A United grabs Gwynn through the gate, he is stabbed by Garret!  The Outpost, Garret worries about having to killed the Zinjed, Gwynn asks about Tobin as an advisor.  Night, the heroes move their way through a camp and see Yavalla with Wren stepping out the temple.  Zed and Talon head for Yavalla.  She confronts the two in the temple.  Zed throws the pumpkin at Yavalla.  She shrieks in pain and the United are stunned.  


Talon takes her head.  Janzo sees Wren in her tent and has the syringe out.  He drops the syringe to join her in Zinjification and Wren walks over to him crushing the syringe!  The zinj starts to separate!  She kisses Janzo and he injects her with the full syringe, he switched the other one.  Wren kisses him again now that she is free of the zinj.  They run up the steps and see Munt shuddering where he stands.  They join Talon and Zed to see Yavalla without damage.  The guards are killed and Yavalla sends Munt after them!   Wren leads them away as Munt pauses.  Janzo promises to help him.  Talon has yet to use her zinj to open a portal.  Throwing Yavalla into one might save the United and Munt.  They run into the night.  Munt kneels before Yavalla along with other followers.  Morning, Gwynn addresses The Outpost announcing her chief advisor, don’t move so fast Tobin!, Garret Spears!  Falista tries to be angry at the choice and this frustrates Tobin.   Yavalla addresses her followers and that they must stand against The Outpost!  All of the plans to save Yavalla from the zinj have failed!, but it seems like Falista is slowly being corrupted by her zinj and may become a villain!     


Three Zinjes out of Five!
