Ishi turns his investigative talent on another magistrate; Aji seeks the help of those connected to the spirits - but may have bitten off more than he can chew; the tentative peace of the city is put in jeopardy with the death of an important merchant; and there is a significant shuffling in the hierarchy of the Emerald Magistrates. 

Designed by Robert Bohl and a production of Evil Hat Games, Demihumans explores a Tolkien-esque fantasy world while engaging issues of colonialism, racism, and environmental degradation.

The exciting finale sees our brave and brazen boys bouncing the Home-Wrecker, and blowing up not only their enemies, but perhaps their ability to get away?
Will they get the gold or will their greed get the better of them?

Ishi faces off with the Thunder Guard and Yogo Osako over who can or can’t interrogate the assassin Jaw. Aji faces off against the man who accuses him of standing in the way of finding Naritoki’s killer - the man who has scarred Aji before. And the magistrates are able to find some answers to questions that have been dogging them.

The arrest of a gambler involved in the murder of a high profile samurai may be just the first domino to fall. Who else will get caught up in this turmoil? Will Aji and Taiyo keep their respective secrets from their colleagues? Will Yugare survive an encounter with a man Yogo Osako warns will murder him?

How did an opium smoking want-to-be chef become an Emerald Magistrate? What will happen to Shosurro Kimi? And what secrets does Korechika reveal about himself and about the magistrate’s murdered predecessor?

How far can someone be pushed in when they want to protect what they have? A ghost pleads with Ishi, Aji is asked to kill, Ogeie’s murderer is revealed, and Korechika takes a desperate step.

Loyalty to family is a virtue in every samurai, but what happens when honor, duty, and family each pull in a different direction? What if it's a demon that's doing the pulling?

Who hunts whom? After discovering Soshi Seiryokyu’s dark shrine, Taiyo worries for the safety of his family in a city with dark forces rearing their hideous heads. Someone shows up who should help fight the darkness, but brings with him suspicion and danger. And Yugare is asked to help Taiyo’s children be safe from darnkess, but is it something external Taiyo fears, or something in them? 

Fire and darkness. Ryoko Owari awakens to discover flames within and without. But who is responsible for these assaults, and how will the magistrates get to the bottom of something, the victims don’t trust them to handle? And what foul secrets are hidden in the home of a woman thought to be a witch? 

The conflicting priorities and values of the city’s magistrates come out in the open. How trustworthy is Yogo Osako when it really comes to enforcing the law? Is opium the root of the city’s problems or merely a branch? And how will Bayushi Korechika handle the pressure of his business empire being threatened?
