ICON Ruin Runners Chapter 1 Episode 3: Rolling Dice for Lives (and Profit!)

The clock is ticking down on the Imperial forces catching up to our heroes, so it's a race against time to escape Pablo's Tomb with the Relict pirate himself in tow! Unfortunately, even after fleeing the automatons, the tomb's traps prove to be far more perilous! And even if we escape the tomb, can we truly run from the horrors of...living in a capitalist society?

Andre does a ton of acrobatic feats and uses lots of lateral thinking, but turns out to have a deadly weakness: fish! Mantrax rums themselves ragged over puzzles and flubs a lot of contingency rolls to just stumble through most of the ruins! Zaffir loses Dust on a bad bet and has questionable spending habits! Pablo...made this way more difficult than it should have been, honestly? But now, the overall arc for Ruin Runners becomes clear: finding the remainder of his Not One Piece...
