7
8	As you might have guessed from the title of the past few episodes, our heroes' journey isn't going to be an especially calm one. Because of all the murder, I mean. Taako mourns the dead. Merle finally plays his part. Magnus does one of the absolute coolest punches ever.
9
10	!!Tropes
11
12	* AuthorPowers: Griffin makes a joke about his “immeasurable DM God magic”.
13	* ButtMonkey: Even when Jenkins is believed to be dead, Taako ''still'' makes fun of his magical abilities, or lack thereof.
14	--> '''Taako''': If only he'd used [[RunningGag one of his spell slots]]!
15	* DestinationDefenestration: Magnus punches the crab out a window.
16	* GenreSavvy: It doesn't take long for Angus, a skilled detective, to figure out that [[IdiotHero the heroes]] aren't who they say they are.
17	-->'''Angus:''' And what are your guys' names?\
18	'''Merle:'''...Leeman?\
19	'''Taako:''' Still Diddly--\
20	'''Angus:''' No, I'm sorry--what are your guy's ''real'' names?
21	* GreatDetective: Angus is a skilled, and claims to be the world’s greatest, detective. You ''could'' just call him a KidDetective, if you want to be "reductive".
22	* KeepAway: After the gang realizes something is up with Angus' book, magnus snatches it from him and tries to play Monkey in the Middle with it. He tosses it to Taako, who just ends up giving it back to Angus shortly afterwards.
23	* MistakenForPedophile: Lampshaded by Travis. He notes that three grown men accompanying a little boy like Angus into a secluded room in the train "away from prying eyes" would probably not make the most flattering picture for them all.
24	* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: The crab monster has three circular rows of teeth.
25	* PrecisionFStrike: Angus irritably points out that he's "detective enough to see through [the [=PCs=]'] horseshit" when they're visibly unimpressed with his insistence that he's the world's greatest detective.
26	* SerialKiller: Angus is tracking down the Rockport Slayer.
27	* ShoutOut:
28	** The brothers joke that Angus might be a secret [[Franchise/MyLittlePonyGeneration4 Brony]].
29	** West Side Story
30	** The Princess Bride
31	** Star Wars
32	** Back To The Future
33	* WeHardlyKnewYe: Gram, the Juicy Wizard, and Jenkins’ bodies are found. Subverted in that Gram is unconscious and, in a later episode, Jenkins’ body is revealed to be the engineer’s.
34	* WorkingTheSameCase: The [=PCs=] realize that the Rockport Slayer, who Angus is investigating, killed Liam Kessler.
