Episode 27 Part 1 covers page 5293 of Homestuck. [note: summary covers pages 5263 to 5437] In which Lexia purges the Beforan troll poison as they talk about Kankri and we fail to contain our discourse to a reasonable timescale. WELCOME TO OPENBOUND (Cursed Edition). This discussion covers Act 6, Intermission 3 dealing only with the first Openbound game where we, as Meenah, meet Kankri, Porrim, and Latula. We do mention other characters and elements of the rest of the Intermission as it relates to the discussion, but we only truly get through this first game.
