| - | In the process of recapturing the fugitives, the party discover that some of them have had alchemic-magical devices surgically implanted in their chests which were alarmingly explosive when removed. They eventually find the mastermind behind the whole scheme – the criminologist Nathaniel Thornton. Unfortunately, Thornton managed to escape when his super-soldiers attempted to rescue him and though he was eventually apprehended in his Arcane Library, the diversion resulted in his plan coming to fruition. He explained his plan to build an army of super-soldiers by having the fugitives recaptured and their proximity-activated chest bombs going off in magical quarantine, blowing the front of the prison off and giving him easy access to hundreds of desperate psychopaths. | + | In the process of recapturing the fugitives, the party discover that some of them have had alchemic-magical devices surgically implanted in their chests which were alarmingly explosive when removed.

| The party race back toward the prison but it is too late and they see the explosion from across the city. All they can do when they arrive is to help the Watch stem the tide of escaping prisoners, holding them off until Glassinger can collapse a tower to seal the breach, narrowly avoiding crushing Felicity. As the dust settles, Glassinger is seen standing atop a pile of corpses. | The party race back toward the prison but it is too late and they see the explosion from across the city.

| - | The Watch have their work cut out on recapturing the escaped prisoners and keeping order. Pointed questions are asked about the competency of the Watch and the Council and there is pressure on the Council to increase their use of capital punishment.

After Warden Ratcliffe is informed of the full extent of the catastrophy, he is reported to have exclaimed “Oh my Gods! Prisoner One has escaped!” | + | The Watch have their work cut out on recapturing the escaped prisoners and keeping order.
