    GS - CH 11 Red & CH 12 Blood for Blood - The Gala

    Lo Rusters! Big one today as Darrow finds himself at a crossroads; one path goes the way of terrorism and death, the other path goes the way of uncertainty, civil war, and may still end in death. To help us breakdown one of the most important moments of the whole series we have Janelle, one of the producers of Hail Reaper and host of the Goodladies podcast. She dives into Darrow's motivations, his ultimate decision making, and why the fate of the Society balances on Victra going commando at the Gala. Big shout out to @beeristhemindkiller for the Gala T-shirts - he's one of the best in the game and you can check out more of his awesome work on his Etsy shop.
