In which Badger...
- Falls through a portal near the Keep to arrive in a strange village of nomadic air druids who fly on wing gliders, apparently arriving through a rift that leads to the plane of air.
- Meets the leader of the air druids, Keyleth, an elven druid, who tells him to leave and never return on the risk of death - he agrees.
- Re-enters the rift before arriving at the Lost Coast, where he joins a sage and a contingent of adventurers to go to a large golden fire giant statue for the treasure horde inside.
- Meets with some hillfolk in the Lost Coast to discuss about his mine and their grievances with it, and comes to a peace agreement to mine for a couple years then withdraw.
- Lends his sword Knutsvar to a fellow adventurer, who uses it to break the statue and reveal the loot horde.
- Joins the adventurers, with the copious use of bear jars and sneaking and toppling rocks, to crush a dozen hellhounds guarding the now desecrated statue.
- Helps the party loot the horde of now melted gold mixed with slag for a hefty treasure haul.
- Teleports via the portal into the Trinity Continuum, a reality where superbeings called novas stalk the Earth.
- Is hired as a bounty hunter to kill the most post powerful these superbeings, the leader of a terrorist group, called Divis Mal by an organization called the Directive.
- Creates a complex plan involving a trigger of a failed attack to be able to remember how to activate Knutsvar's cutting power, so as to prevent any mind reading powers from zoning in on the plan.
- Manages to track down Divis Mal to an attack by his terrorist organization, Teragen, on a holding facility of novas, and fights a 4 way battle with Mal alongside Cestus Pax - the most popular superhero nova, and Chiraben, a black ops assassin nova.
- Manages to unlock how to use Knustvar as Divis Mal ignores him, a mere "baseline" human, to fight the other 2 novas, beating them both in 30 seconds for Cestus Pax and 12 seconds for Chiraben, who is outed as a deep cover spy for one Project Utopia, the largest nova organization overtly focused on "preserving world peace".
- Uses Knustvar to decapitate Divis Mal, who is shocked by the development, who is only able to say "Not like this...not by a baseline...not like this."
- Gets hurt by a dying, decapitate Mal who rages all his power into one concentrated attack in the form of an explosion, as Badger barely manages to escape with his life.
- Manages to avoid other authorities and report back to the Directive, thus leaving the murderer of Divis Mal a mystery.
- Learns Mal had anticipated his death as a potentiality, and had planted a call to arms to revitalize his terrorist cell Teragen and serve as a martyr for their cause, a message that is spread around the world.
- Collects his paycheck from the Directive and leaves via the portal for the moment, to go back and rest and recuperate in his Keep.
- Back in the Keep, there are heavier than usual rains and more dire wolves are spotted, though they seem to be leaving travelers alone for now.
- Word comes from the wilds - the foolhardy, wild adventurer Rutgr Dag dies, mauled by monsters.
