In this week's episode, we talk about the Martian War from Destroy All Humans between the Furon and the Blisk and the numerous consequences that came from it.

Today we delve into the deep lore of our skeletal friend, Withers, from Baldur's Gate 3 to try to find out who he is and why he helps the party throughout the game. In doing so, we take a foray into the lore of the Dead Three, the main antagonists of the game, to help us answer these questions. We also learn what the undead do for fun in their free time, which is disturbing but ironic and hilarious.
