Zelf must step up - not only to solve this brand new murder, but to finish this most epic magical meal. Janni isn't looking so good, and it's not just food poisoning. Patty is hot on the trail of a secret identity, and Zelf is too. That's right, there are TWO dramatic reveals this episode! Can Zelf save the day? If not, can Janni? Also featuring our first (but probably not last???) solo side recording with Justin and a lone PC.

Paltra Mimosa - A suspect. Brunch noble, runs the artisanal poptart shop.

Grist Caskchill - A suspect. Practices Dwarven ale magic.

God, I hope you like puns. MY GOD, I HOPE you LIKE puns. And food perverts. This episode has a lot of both! The team finally attends the opening of Duke Marth's hot new restaurant, Marth by Marth. Zelf and Patty subtly interrogate the suspects behind the theft of High Chef Vilnit's missing fingers - which could unlock immense cooking knowledge, if eaten. Astra unsubtly interrogates basically nobody, and Janni is also there. It's CLUE meets RATATOUILLE meets BCBP!

Ep. 43 - What's your Rabual score?

Bantaro reveals a terrible lie he has told and it's so terrible the Janni Squad doesn't even really grapple with it. Just add it to the heap! Janni's brain is in a worse state that usual, and the gang decides to do something about it instead of ignoring it and hoping it goes away. They teeter on the edge of breaking up, but don't worry, they make a much worse choice instead! Onto Rabual the Generous!
