Branch made some new friends (Cain, Casper, Pinya), played the flute a lot, skipped oral history meetings, did Circe's dirty work for her, got rebuffed by Stone... and has pretty much been barely clinging to his last nerve what with all the recent bullshit.

He also got told by Circe she was down to murder an old Naga and tried to get Cain and Acantha to intervene, sparking off the Tablet Clusterfuck.
