In the aftermath of their battle with an honest-to-goodness angel, some members of the Phantom Force are starting to have second thoughts about supervillainy. Unable to live with the guilt of getting innocent bystanders killed, Pete finds himself in a precarious position of strength in his relationship with Urodoo, and decides to press the advantage while he has it.

The Phantom Force is back with another dastardly plan for mayhem and villainy! They still need one remaining component, the feather of an angel, to complete their Porter tracking device, but just how low will they sink to obtain it? When the team learns that two heroes who’re playing host to true blue angels are going to be awarded the key to Bulbous Quarry, they decide to set up the snatch-and-grab operation of their careers. However, some of the Hellbinders are beginning to question their continued relationships with demons, while others recklessly skirt damnation, even as their choices nudge them ever closer to some moral event horizon. Can they lure an angel into an ambush and escape with their lives, souls and the intended prize, or will they feel the left-hook of Old Testament retribution?

The fearsome villains of Bulbous Quarry are one step closer to building the devilish device they need to track down Porter, the demon who ruined their lives. In the meantime, the circumstances of their exile continue to worsen. Peyton, currently working kennel duty at an upscale pet salon, finds himself in an awkward position when his boss’s lapdog decides to blackmail him. Peter, who is currently managing accounts at a cash register repair firm, has an unexpected meeting with an old friend. Weylan, now a junior cashier at the local museum’s gift shop, pines for the affections of his much younger boss. When they learn that an exhibit of priceless Egyptian artifacts, newly liberated from the now-defunct Fear Force Five in Apex City, is to be showcased at Weylan’s workplace, the team bands together to take back what was once not-so-rightfully theirs. However, the security protecting the exhibit has been significantly increased, and old tensions strain the group to the breaking point. The Phantom Force will need a solid plan, perfect timing, and the assistance of a newly recruited henchman to pull off the museum heist of the century, again.

In order to track down the fiend who ruined their lives, the team is going to need to build a devilish device with some very specific materials, including a sample of blood from a creature that is the last of its kind. They decide to burgle a genetics company that has cloned a wooly mammoth, but the job is not as easy as it might seem. During the heist, Weyland and Pete must fulfill harsh demands from their demons, and the team must keep the caper’s true purpose a secret from their new team leader, Blake. On top of all that, Peyton and the mammoth strike up a tenuous friendship, one that could be ruined at any moment by his Hellbinder companions. The Phantom Force is in for a bloody clash of demonic sadism, wounded pride and nagging conscience, this week on ~~Apex City~~ Bulbous Quarry Capers!

PRELUDE: Rolling Up A Mystery ◊ New Punishments ◊ Cecil Gets Some Sleep ◊ The Prisoner in The Basement ◊ Graveyard Ghost Party ◊ Teddy Gets Possessed ◊ Down In A Hole, Yet Again ◊ Bargaining with Barry Toink ◊ Operation: Rescue ◊ Unwelcome Insights and Impromptu Exorcisms ◊ In Flagrante Delicto ◊ The Awful Truth ◊ Confronting the Responsible Parties ◊ Dr. Davenfirth [sic] Departs

NOTE: The Dreadful Secrets of Candlewick Manor is still on indefinite hiatus. However, Chris has finished his second round of treatments and will once again be able to join us at the table, so we will be running intermittent sessions until The Nettle Crusades wraps, at which point Candlewick will resume regular updates.

In this frightful episode, our cast of bizarre foundlings are thrown into an investigation which may spell ruin for some of their most treasured relationships. Someone at the Candlewick Home has been holding Dr. Candlewick’s daughter, Wisteria, prisoner in a makeshift basement rubber room, keeping her drugged with powerful narcotics. During their quest to discover the culprit and his (or her) unspeakable reasons for doing this, the orphans will be forced to confront one of their housemates who has regained the use of his commanding telepathic voice, and little Noch will unwittingly provoke a confrontation with the graveyard ghosts from the family cemetery. Can Duncan, Karl, Dotty, Noch, Cecil and Jareth get to the bottom of this mystery, rescue Wisteria and defeat Barry, or will they end up prisoners themselves? More importantly, what will become of Noch’s teddy bear? Listen to find out!
