Primary Attribute
Primary Attribute is a Castles & Crusades actual play podcast where our cast unravels the mysteries of Arx Moltimus, a mountain fortress that contains the last surviving city, as it flies through the sky above a world consumed by a supernatural corruption and attempts to hold out for just a little longer. Battles are fought, romances blossom, secrets are uncovered, and city infrastructure is maintained against all odds.

The party crams in some last minute studying before the exam. And by studying, I mean pharmacological research, and by exam, I mean "holding the line against a Corrupted horde." So it's still basically the same as when you learned the entire textbook the day before your class final in college.

Oh, and some other party members show up or something.
Vons gets his paws all over someone else's equipment. Jyessi knows a little Kindness goes a long way. Wealdroa ha...
The party continues to prepare for the upcoming landing. Whether that be by honing their weapons, considering what sort of body they want to ride into battle, or keeping themselves emotionally healthy by spending time with loved ones. I know, the last one feels off-brand to me, too.
