Bob attempted to commit armed robbery (technically)
Sapphire didn’t exist and yet somehow still gave us stress points
Carl stepped on a landmine (not Markus’)
Karl disarmed a landmine

Carl decides to stop sniping and take up a life as a machete murderer,
Karl freaks because of a couple bugs,

Carl snipes with the might of god and god alone
Karl magdumps a bunch of dudes 0.01982 seconds after they ate a grenade,
And Mathilda tries to promote her Onlyfans to an unwilling crowd
(And Kent poops his pants so hard that the thrust of the dropship extends to 122%)
SESSION 5.5: The party commits war crimes.
Repeatedly.
This is not a joke.
That is all.
SESSION 6: Nix burns a wounded man to death out of spite (again),
Markus recovers from a broken shoulder in 1.249 seconds,
