Note from Lucas: I know some folks might have a difficult time with talking about Wendigo in fiction. I myself am Metis and the way it was discussed by elders was the Wendigo was a cautionary tale of anger, isolation, and pain. I tried to keep that in the spirit of the creature, but also reflect that at this point in the story they are fighting a boss fight designed in a video game, so there is a portion that is very gamified to it. I understand completely if this is an episode you'd like to skip. If you'd like to skip this episode but want to know what happens I am placing SPOILERS at the end of the show notes, so you have to scroll to see it. ************* Welcome to the Ballad of the Seven Dice. The party is now ready to at last confront the boss of Floor 1 alongside scores of other players! Will they take this creature down quickly or will they realize that Carcosa Online is one hell of a game!

SPOILERS FOR THE EPISODE. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED
The party heads into the forest with everyone, realizing that a winter has set over the woods. Akihiko asked Nysla about love as they head deeper in readying themselves. They set off their plan to trap the boss in the fire trap and a bit of it goes wrong with Lune losing a portion of his people and wishing it was him instead. The party fights and the battle is brutal with scores upon scores of people perishing. The boss is piercing players on its antlers and when they are on there, they don't truly die. Akihiko is almost slain and Houndman takes the hit and is killed. Nysla almost dies from a number of attacks and is unconscious. Lune criticals two times in a row and at the last moment defeats the boss. The party realizes they lost over 100 players in this battle and many dear friends. They are broken, battered, and scarred. This is the cost of victory.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
