00:00 Starting Soon ("Ataraxia" by Aaron Hodges-Boyle)
06:01 Beginning
23:15 FLYING MACHINE!
33:30 An Absurd Setback
48:05 Background Research on Delos
1:42:12 Fortune: Told!
1:53:20 On to the Fifth Rite!

In this relatively short session, the Hero steadily proceeds towards his destiny! ...for a given value of steadily.

Early on, after building the flying machine and heading to Delos, I am reminded of the importance of saving often when it turns out that the Hero's default behaviour when you click on a fountain near the Oracle is counterintuitive!

Eventually, I sort things out and the Hero learns his destiny, which sounds OMINOUS! Along the way, we also find a potential antidote for the "restless sleep" poison that's been afflicting our friends.

Now, the Fifth Rite of Rulership is at hand, as the contestants are challenged with WALKING RIGHT INTO HELL and stealing water from the River Styx! By the session's close, I've got a sense of how to enter Hades and I've got the corpse-water I'll need to get there (it'll make sense when you see it).

Next time, there's nowhere to go but down!
