b"C/W hanging/public execution, 0'00 to 3'34, body horror (eyes)\\n\\u201cAnd then, there\\u2019s the end. The whole lot of us rounded up and stood on that platform on Mawk\\u2019s Mantle. A great crowd of people before us, no cover from that boiling sun. I remember the quiet most. Looking into all those faces and being met with nothing. Everything waited.\\u201d\\n~~~\\nUnder the cover of darkness, a wagon rolls its way through the streets of the People\\u2019s Ward of Atrium. Four people escort it, moonlight glinting off armour hidden under their coats. They are Jackals, they do not belong here. The wagon they move carries a weapon, something powerful enough to shake the labyrinthine foundations of Embrace.\\nThis is the first of our episodes playing Blades in the Dark, a game about daring scoundrels by John Harper. We meet our crew of radicals as they undertake their most dangerous score yet.\\nIf you\\u2019re interested in Embrace - our season about a revolution in a city built on the corpses of two gods - and want to jump straight into the action, this is the episode to start with. We did some worldbuilding in episodes 1-3 and start our main campaign here.\\nIf you don\\u2019t know what Embrace is or are new to the show entirely, we spend some time at the start of this episode briefly going over the core concepts of our world, Ryne. We\\u2019ve designed this to be a good place to start listening to These Flimsy Rituals.\\n~~ PEOPLE ~~\\nNilkat: A former factory mechanic, turned revolutionary.
