Actually, we need to put that one on hold because there's a wedding that needs planning - Finn's!! - and someone needs to become the Count of Nottingham, and as Jack's a baron, we went along with him to a big meeting of all the local barons.
There, we found Jack's uncle - who doesn't have one set of eyebrows, but two; the second pair look like a pair of caterpillars on his forehead and we suspect they are a separate species of Fae entirely - and Jack's uncle told us some rather interesting things about Jack's parents and why they were in Borneo. Apparently, there were assassins after them. Good to know! Moments later, an assassin crept up on us, trying to take out said uncle. We saved the day, of course, even though the assassin had a scary iron knife. We may or may not (emphasis on the latter) let him live.

Set (to Jack): “Skip to the end, sir.”
Alysiana: “Jack, close your ears, please. – GOD DAMNIT!!”
Jack: “Do I still have to do this even though I’m a baron?”
“I like this, it’s like a buddy movie.”
Set: “Plain clothes, as we say in the trade.”
Finn: “Oooh, trade words! I’m writing it down.”
Set: “Police trade, not knights.”
Finn: “Dangit.”
“Can we have a bar fight? Buddy cop movies always have those. Can we use a siren?”
