Previously on "The Outpost"...
You and I have the only two kinjes left.
There are seven handprints.
It had to be Aster. One of the Seven.
It was like I was seeing his memories from ages ago.
The bodies of Golu and Aster lie sleeping here and here.
This is the Shrine of Vor-Anden.
You know exactly how to get there.
If we destroy their bodies,
our kinjes will be worthless to them.
I want you to come to the Shrine of Vor-Anden with me.
She's going to Aster's Tomb. I'm going to Golu's.
So come be a warrior.
Wait, I'm coming with you.
Does this sequence mean anything to you?
The names of the masters?
What did you do?
Why did you do this? We trusted you.
- Now you will wake Lokma. - What is Lokma?
All the rest of your kind are there in those things.
No, only Lokma.
Janzo: Well, it doesn't really matter does it?
Because we're not going to help you.
Not now. Not after what you did.
I made a choice like you taught.
You made a bad choice. You hurt Janzo. You could've killed him.
I do this for Lokma.
Whatever Lokma is, you cannot just go around hurting people.
I will...
Unless you help me.
No. In fact, we're going to stop you from doing anything
we think might put others in danger.
You won't help me?
Wren!
The Skevikor has been unlocked.
Janya, have you stored enough?
Enough life force to revive Golu, Aster,
and almost all of the Kahvi in the Skevikor.
Then we must hurry to awaken Golu
and find Aster.
Oops.
Knife tricks are useless in a real fight.
Yeah, but they're fun.
Hey, about a little wager to pass the time?
- No thanks. - Why?
This dead god thing we're supposed to destroy isn't going anywhere.
We need to wake Aster before the gods get to him.
Three beads says I can bull's-eye that stump.
Ten says you can't.
Doesn't count.
You coughed on purpose. You cheated.
Coming from you? I've seen how you play Octor.
That's different. Everyone cheats at cards.
I don't.
How do I know that's what you were aiming at?
You gotta teach me to do that.
- Pay up. - Um...
- I don't have any money on me. - Of course you don't.
All those years in the Plane of Ashes and all you did was hunt?
Every day, since the time we were big enough to throw a spear.
It was either hunt or starve.
Oh, starving would be so horrible. I can't even think it.
Can't even think it.
Hunting is how me and Tobin, me and the King,
became as close as two men can be.
How about you two? Got even closer, eh?
You know, a man and a woman.
Sure. We were great friends.
Right, but all that time alone
with a beautiful woman like Nedra,
you must've got real close, you know what I mean?
You see, I thought we were talking about hunting, Munt.
Zed never had time to get close to anyone.
Hunting for him was all about the kill.
That's literally what hunting is all about.
The kill is just a small part of it.
What about all the moments along the way?
Moments? What moments?
You couldn't exactly stop and admire the beauty in the Plane of Ashes.
- There was no beauty. - You see, Munt? He still doesn't get it.
- Right. - Remember the time
we slept in a rock hollow waiting out an ash storm?
I thought that storm would never end.
I thought we'd just be buried alive as the ash piled up.
You let me drink all your water.
Said you had extra in your pack, but you didn't.
You didn't save any for yourself.
- I wasn't thirsty anyway. - It was very kind of you.
Those were the times I remember.
Time spent together, not just all the kills we made.
Well, then what happened in the rock hollow?
I mean, did you kiss?
The storm ended and we dug ourselves out and we finished the hunt.
Fed the clan for days.
You're right about one thing.
There was no beauty in the Plane of Ashes.
Sure makes you appreciate what we have here.
This world is so alive and beautiful, Zed.
You need stop and enjoy it while you can.
Yeah, well, perhaps I'll see it that way too someday,
but only once we find and destroy the body
of this so-called god Golu who wants my kinj.
Life is too short to wait for someday.
Yeah, speaking of feeding the clans, I could eat.
Right now. Yeah.
Is there ever a time you can't eat, Munt?
Well...
No, don't think there is.
What happened?
I came to change the guard
and found it like this.
Do you have any idea where he went?
No.
Hey, you see that?
Did... did those god people do this?
They go from village to village sucking the life
from all the people and burning all that remains.
So many people.
They're moving faster now.
No more walking. We need to run.
We need to destroy Aster's body
before they get to it.
Based on where Janzo pinpointed Golu's resting place on this map,
right between these two hilltops...
We should be very close.
We still have some daylight left. Let's keep looking.
How do we even know what we're looking for?
Could be half a day's walk in either direction.
Look at those purple flowers alive amidst all this frozen death.
I've never seen anything like them.
Zed, look. How can they grow here in winter?
Since when did you care about flowers, Nedra?
Since I came back to a world that has any.
Well, get one last eyeful. It's almost night.
It'll be a lot harder to find Golu's tomb in the dark.
Mmm. Let's try north.
- Zed! - Yes, flowers. Incredible.
They are spectacular, and they're right here.
And we're not doing anything else until you appreciate them.
I see them, Nedra. That's great.
They're living here in winter because of this warm spring.
That's great, Nedra. Now let's head north.
A warm spring that likely originates in an underground cavern.
I always said I loved flowers.
He never said that.
Well, not that I remember at least.
God.
Janzo. Oh, God, you're breathing.
Thank the... never mind.
Janzo, wake up. Janzo, wake up.
Janzo. Janzo, wake up!
Wren? Wren, what happened?
- I think he made another bad choice. - Hmm?
Janzo?
Wren?
You have seen the smoke from the hilltops.
That jerk again,
- hustling more suffering people. - You have heard from the witnesses
who barely escaped with their lives.
- Wish I had thought of that. - The gods are coming!
What? He's good.
And they will spare only those who worship and obey.
Watch. Here comes the hook.
I, Higley Muggs,
have been chosen as the ambassador of the gods
to make judgment of whose villages will be spared
and whose will be utterly destroyed.
Who is generous in their offerings and who is not!
Make an offering to the gods, and I, Higley Muggs,
will beg for your village to be spared.
Everything you have.
Gold, silver,
even copper may save you.
- Hold nothing back. - We have to do something.
I thought we were in a hurry to find that tomb.
Yes, the gods are pleased.
I can feel it!
Just follow my lead.
They have accepted your offerings.
Your village will be spared.
We just got here.
The gods, they're right behind us.
Right. Yeah.
What should we do, ambassador to the gods?
They'll be here any second.
Are they coming now?
- Right now. - Right behind us.
Of course.
You all stay here and worship the gods
while I go and prepare the way
for the next village.
I'm Talon of Gallwood Outpost.
And this man...
is clearly a charlatan.
But the so-called gods really are coming this way fast.
What can you do against the gods?
Well, first of all, they're not gods.
Yeah.
We're on our way to kill one of them right now to prove it.
Spread the word, empty the villages,
and take your families up into the hills and hide.
You ruined it.
We could've split the pie.
If I see your face again, you're a dead man.
"We're on our way to kill one of them right now."
Yeah. So, aren't we?
You're just sore because the people liked my line the best.
Right.
Let's crack this thing open.
Okay, that was for Tobin.
Come on, Munt. You can do this.
Nedra.
- I'm guessing that's Golu. - Shh!
Don't wake it up.
I don't think he'll wake up anytime soon.
He looks pretty dead.
There's one way to make sure.
Yeah.
- That's it? - Let me try.
- Where did she come from? - She has Tobin's kinj.
- She can appear anywhere. - And good timing apparently.
She must've somehow sensed when we stabbed the body.
How do we know when she'll come back?
It might be a while.
Munt got her pretty good.
How about this one?
Did we do enough to it?
Can't they just revive it like they do?
That's very astute, Munt.
We need to be absolutely sure about this one.
With any luck, we've spoiled all their plans.
So, I guess you didn't actually need my help.
Are you kidding? I never would've figured out that flower thing
meant that there was a cavern down there.
- I'm glad you came. - So am I.
I needed to see more of this world.
Now I feel like we have something to live for,
- to fight for. - Yeah.
- It is pretty incredible, isn't it? - Yeah.
- Nedra? Your scope. - Hmm?
Oh, no.
It's the god with the black death kinj.
I saw him kill Two and move her kinj into one of the gods.
How did he find us?
The one who disappeared must've told him where we was.
- Is he gonna kill us? - No, he only cares about me for my kinj.
But the creature he wants it for is just a pile of ashes.
He probably doesn't know that yet.
You two get out of here. Head back to the Outpost.
- He doesn't care about you. - No.
I can make a run for it. I'll never stop running.
I'll head out to sea if I have to. He's not getting my kinj.
No, you should give it to me,
and when he catches you, he'll realize you don't have it.
- And by then I'll be long gone. - Maybe I should take it.
No, this is my burden to carry.
It's not either of yours. I can outrun him.
How? He's on a horse. You're on foot.
Yes, and now he knows everything you just told me.
I told you... How are you not hurt? I smashed you good.
Nothing Janya cannot fix.
What are you doing?
Good luck guessing which one of us has the kinj.
Ah, a game.
Meet back where we filled our water pouches.
This should be fun.
Go!
Almost.
The bottom bit. Ow!
Do you know, if I could just see the knots,
- then maybe my fantastical... - Just use your sense of touch.
Janzo, find...
Uh...
You will help him as you did me.
What if we can't?
And even if we could, 3-1-3, I really don't think that...
I don't give you choice. You do it or I hurt you again.
You see, the problem that we find ourselves in
is that, well, you didn't bring any mandragora or hellebore,
and that's what I used to save you.
So, unfortunately, we're all out.
You do what I say.
Levare said you went this way.
You do not have it.
No.
Then you are nothing to me.
You wish to die?
I just want to see if you've got the guts
to fight me one on one without your friends to help you.
Come on.
We already killed your friend Golu.
Yeah, we burnt him to a crisp.
Go on. See if you can get close enough to kill me.
Later.
Are you the one who has it?
- Has what? - Do not play dumb with me.
I should've hit you harder last time.
There you are, Golu.
What are you waiting for?
Aren't you going to finish me off?
I would love to, but Tera has to do that to send Golu home.
Do me a favor.
Do not die before I return.
- The big fool has it. - Get me free of this.
Well-crafted blade.
Munt.
Munt, we have to get you out of here.
They know. They know it's me that has it.
Shh. Where are they now?
Don't know, but they'll be back.
You have to take it. You have to keep it safe.
- I can't leave you here. - No.
I'm dying anyway.
Just don't let them have it. Please.
Run. Keep it safe.
If Zed gets here, tell him I...
What? Tell him what?
Never mind.
See you back at the Outpost.
Yeah.
Yeah?
Run.
Keep it safe.
- Octor. - You really don't cheat?
- No. - Just to be sure, I'll deal this time.
Bottle's empty. It's time to sleep.
Come on. One more, old lady.
- Old lady? - Only old ladies go to bed this early.
You see, smart ladies get enough rest for the dangerous day tomorrow.
Fine. I just don't want it to end...
Eating and drinking, playing cards with a friend.
Stop trying to play me, Luna.
I'm not. Really.
- It is kind of nice, isn't it? - Yeah.
Hey, you never told me what's going on with you and Garret.
Because it's none of your business.
I thought we were friends.
I think he's handsome. Never tell him I said that though.
You should marry that one, you should.
- Were you spying on us? - What do you mean?
- How would you know that? - Know what?
I just see how you look at each other is all.
- He proposed to me before we left. - He did?
Can I be in the wedding? I've always wanted to be in a wedding.
- I didn't accept. - You turned him down?
Are you some kind of idiot?
Didn't turn him down either.
I just...
didn't give him an answer.
Well, no answer is an answer.
If you don't say yes soon, I might have to go after him myself.
What?
He said I reminded him of you, so I'm his type.
You're a bit young for him, aren't you?
Correction, he's too old for me.
Night, Luna.
Good night.
Commander Spears.
Are you all right?
Warlita, what... what happ...
3-1-3, have you seen him?
No. Did he do this?
Help me up.
I don't think you should be walking around just yet.
Janzo and Wren, have you seen them?
No, I haven't seen either of them. What's going on?
- No. 3-1-3. - No.
3-1-3, don't! No, no.
- Stop him. - Don't. Don't!
Whoever is in there won't survive!
- Help him! He's Lokma. - I'm trying!
What is Lokma? Is that a saying?
- He's born of my seed. - Lokma's your child.
I don't know "child," but "lokma" was who grow into Kahvi.
- Lokma are children. - I simply don't have
the correct medicinals to save him.
- Janzo, try the fergus oil. - Where is it?
I simply don't have
the correct medicinals to save him.
3-1-3, we tried to warn you.
Don't stop. Bring him back.
Come on.
Damn! Come on.
Come on.
Come on. Come on.
I'm sorry.
He's dead.
I'm so sorry, 3-1-3.
If you'd just listened to us.
If you'd just listened to the two people
who've done nothing but try to help you throughout all of this.
- Janzo. - He's dead.
You made him die.
Janzo!
Don't move!
I said, don't move!
What took you so long?
Hurry. Release Golu before the human dies.
You said he had it.
He does. I saw it.
The female.
I grow tired of this game.
Munt.
Nedra, she went away.
Up the trail. The big hill.
Go save her.
You'll be safe here, Munt. They're only after me.
Zed. You're hurt.
I'll live. Give me the kinj. It's not your responsibility.
I have a better chance of getting away,
especially with your leg like that.
I'm fast enough. Just give me the kinj.
You've never won a footrace against me
even without being injured.
- Yes, I have. - Only when you cheated.
Zed, you know it has to be me.
No, I can't let you! Give me the kinj!
Why not?
You're too important.
How so?
No one even cares if I'm alive or dead.
I do.
You have lots of friends like me.
Oh, come on, Nedra. You know we're way more than friends.
They won't catch me.
When this is over...
let's not waste any more time.
And don't spoil the moment
by saying something Zed-like.
Think it through, then say it
when we see each other at the Nightshade.
Nedra, wait! Nedra!
Nedra!
Kill me.
I don't want to be alive anymore.
Janzo, Wren?
Right, just summarily execute him, Garret.
He deserves a right to a fair trial.
He's not human and he's not Blackblood. He has no rights.
He just watched his son die, Garret.
He was only trying to save his family.
He just tried to kill me, Wren. You would've been next.
And he could've killed me and two guards.
He's not safe to be around.
Then why don't I just end this now?
No. He's still valuable.
I have a lot of questions that need answered.
Keep him alive.
Fine. Then it's back to jail for this thing again.
You said you've been here before, right?
It's where Zed got his kinj from.
Never thought I'd be back here again.
And all we have to do is hack up this old stiff.
Then we can head home, right?
We have to find him first.
They burned your body.
It took many lives to restore you.
Where are the others? Are we all awake?
All except Aster.
Then it is time.
Nothing. Not even a single gem.
We're not looking for gems.
We're looking for Aster.
I think we're in the wrong place.
There's no tomb, no body.
Vorta: Brother Golu has risen.
We release the Asterkinj next to wake the Betrayer.
You cannot prevent it.
Your time in this world is over.
What's wrong?
I think they killed Zed.
