For the past year, the surviving members of the Fear Force Five have been hiding out in the desert backwater of Bulbous Quarry, amassing resources and plotting revenge. Now that two of the villains have freed themselves from their demonic shackles, the group’s time seems to have come round at last. Porter, the demon who outed them to the police, has taken possession of its next host, an undetermined member of their fallen friend Bruce’s family. If they want to keep the remaining Sawhouses safe from Porter’s rampage, they’ll need to head home and find out who’s in possession of its amulet. Can Pete, Jake, Weyland, Peyton and Blake stop Porter’s murder spree before it can claim another victim? And just how far will these ne’er-do-wells go to get even? Find out, in the exciting series finale of Apex City Capers!

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. Little does he know that his decision to exorcise his demon will shake the former Fear Force Five to its very core, calling loyalties into question, straining friendships, and leading, perhaps, to more misguided attempts at redemption. Can the Bulbous Quarry Hellbinders set aside their moral misgivings in order to avenge themselves on Porter, the demon who ruined their lives, or will they be too busy fighting one another?

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?

Phantom Fist’s past comes back to haunt him in a big way in this week’s session of Alex’s ~~Apex City~~ Bulbous Quarry campaign! First, we revisit Blake O’Henry’s big score one last time to learn the fates of his former teammates. Twenty years ago, Blake survived the slaughter at Groutweasel Tower and fled the supervillain game, but not all of his team members were quite as lucky. In the present day, Ana Telonis, better known as Battery Acid, has escaped from a maximum-security prison, and Blake figures she’s out for revenge. The Phantom Fist needs protection and the team needs a demonic totem to complete their Porter-tracking device, so taking down a vengeful Hellbinder seems like killing two birds with one death trap. However, when Blake’s feelings for Ana flare up just before their confrontation, it could spoil all the group’s carefully laid plans.

The ~~Apex City~~ Bulbous Quarry villains are only two items away from building the Devilish Device that will allow them to track down Porter, the fiend who possessed their comrade, destroyed their lives, and landed them in exile. To complete the machine, they’ll need to find an angel’s feather and the totem of a demon, both of which they will have to physically remove from living hosts. Hoping to harvest a demonic totem, the group gets in touch with the League of Supervillains to see if there are any Hellbinders out there who the organization has marked for death, and they are assigned to eliminate a newbie ne’er-do-well named Velociraptor Jones. Meanwhile, Pete, Peyton and Weyland continue to learn more about the fatal last score of the Phantom Fist and his crew. Can the gang take down one of their own in cold blood, or will they find themselves facing an unfortunate bout of conscience? Listen to find out!
