Shadowrun Origins: Episode 68: Dragon Hunt 14 The last time we listened in on the adventures of Young Opti and his pals, they had fought a hard fight and were losing, against an Elf named Blackwing, a cybernetic monster, and his companions had the team backed into an uncomfortable rock and he was about to hard place us. But then he called a cease fire, stopped the fighting, we all breathed for a second to parlay… and then T the Troll brandished a Panther Assault cannon. Who knows how blackwing will react to that? Let’s see, as we enter the Endgame of: Dragon hunt! /episode/index/show/shadowrunorigins/id/22015553

I’m pretty sure death’s a coming for someone… let’s listen in… /episode/index/show/shadowrunorigins/id/21879296
