The road to the Platinum Keep comes with glitches: skipped memories, a fractured divine lifeline, and new names stepping out of shadow with plans that don’t care what the party just survived. Dragon unity is forming under Naltharion, eggs are vanishing into unreachable ice, and tattooed orc warbands are suddenly everywhere the rifts used to be. The Company takes its next assignment with one big question hanging over it: if someone can cut off Sune mid-sentence, what else can they silence?

Meake turns into a frozen killbox and the party learns the hard way that “saving the kids” is exactly when the real monsters show up. A white dragon clings to the orphanage like a bad omen, two razor-smiling agents run the fight like a performance, and Nero gets ripped out from under everyone in a blink of portal-light. By the time the dust settles, the orphanage is a crater, dragon eggs are in pieces, and even Sune’s comfort gets cut short by something sharper. Next stop: the Platinum Keep, because this is bigger than a raid. This is coordinated.

This week the stream didn’t fully die, it just buffered enough to be annoying and then, right at the end, Foundry hit me with the ultimate disrespect: I refreshed during a RAM spike and got stuck “logged in” but unable to control my own game. No backup DM profile, no clean fix without dropping the server, so we limped it across the finish line and I added “admin backdoor” to the to-do list. Then in the DM Deep Dive, we get into the real table-killer: when a player isn’t having fun but won’t say it. How to spot it, how to check in without putting them on blast, and how to fix what you can without burning yourself out trying to save everyone.
