The Gearheart: Artifice Ep 17 & 18

The Gearheart

By:  Alex White

Format:  Podcast; 20 minutes

Genre:  Fantasy

Episode:  17 of 37

Synopsis:
Jonathan and the others descend into the depths of the palace as a sinister plot comes to light.

My Thoughts and Summary:
Cog does know of Jonathan's hidden dark half, and justifies Jonathan as a wonderful strong man.  Jonathan, Keegan, and Cog head to meet up with Maeve and make sure she safely makes it to the Seeress.  And Wallaby makes an appearance to visit with the Seeress.

You go Cog!!  I love the way she stands up to Augustus for Jonathan.  Jonathan isn't here or knows of what she's said, but Cog is one heck of a person to have on his side.  She puts Augustus in his place with several facts and views from Cogs eyes.  Augustus is left speechless.  Way to go!

We have an interesting little weapon here that I'm curious to see used, distilled frost.  Sounds neat, and can freeze a rather large room.  This is one of the weapons the small crew has to meet and escort Agent Maeve with, along with a few guns.  But in the venture to the underground docks, their is shots fired.  Hope all works out there!

Wallaby!  I new that Lord Officiate was important.  Wallaby sneaks in to see the Seeress.  And thinks he kills her.  Ummm, she is the Seeress... What do you think?

I want to see what's happening at the dock with Maeve, got to get to listening.  And what else happens in that chamber with Wallaby.  Well, I have a very good clue with the ending, but just curious to see if comes up again.  hee hee...

Synopsis:
Jonathan and the others journey into the tunnels below the Palace to save Agent Maeve manners.  Will they succeed?

My Thoughts and Summary:
We are again with Jonathan, Cog, Keegan, and Augustus in the tunnels to make sure Agent Maeve arrives safely.  There is a man, we know is Crust, suspended at the ceiling of the cave above the water with his sniper rifle.  The crew tries to elevate him with the freeze sphere.  But then has to work together in a different way to get it all to work.

We see Audun again!  He is whispering to Jonathan all the right things to try to gain control of Jonathan, but Jonathan holds.  Until Augustus makes his speech about each being of importance, except for himself and runs to be the distraction.  Audun surfaces and reflects the bullet, to have Jonathan hold him at bay inside to get Augustus to leave, harm-free.  His appearance here catches my eye as he is armored and with a sword.

We learn that Crust, and guessing others, can't die by just decapitation alone.  Interesting this trio.

We get to see the combination of a few powers here, to get the job done.
