Things got a little heated last session, but as long as Justice can keep his head down for 90 seconds, Rumor should be fine. In other words: Things go wrong immediately.

*One of the other player characters might also be a dad, maybe? Rumor is definitely the only one confirmed so far.

Meet Rumor Pinefrill, who is surprisingly the first player character on SCQ who is actually a dad!* On top of his parental duties, he is also a loving husband, a scribblefolk, and five foot tall frilled lizard. He's also tired.

Join Rumor as he does his rounds in the Brothers Mountains and checks in on a friend...
