A Distinct Lack Of Manacles

A Distinct Lack Of Manacles is the fifty-ninth episode of The Mythos Mysteries. In it Adrian Diesel acts like an alpha male while not having sympathy that Red was raped. Old Man Richter was the nicest one in the episode since he tried to help Adrian understand better and encouraged him in many ways.

Description

Helmfirth, your host on our journey into darkness. The Mystery Punchers are rapidly losing their fight with the King in Yellow! Red is fatally wounded and barely fought her way free of the monster’s tentacles, Adrian finally shot it with his ray gun before the weapon overloaded, and Richter tried to throw the exploding weapon at the tentacle creature but accidentally hurled it straight upwards! So venture with us dear friends… into the mythos… Join Red (Clare Blackwood, @clareblackwood), Adrian (Ryan LaPlante, @theryanlaplante), and Richter (Tyler Hewitt, @Tyler_Hewitt) as Keeper Tom McGee (@mcgeetd) leads them deeper into darkness!''

Plot
In the aftermath of the ray gun explosion, which nearly killed the servant of Hastur as well as the The Mystery Punchers. It's revealed that Richter throwing it in the angle he did last episode was nearly perfect as the explosion would have killed all of them if he had hit the monster directly. Red wakes up in the truck of Robert Walker and Adrian decides it's time to assert dominance on her and argue with her extensively. He even sits on her even though she's worse injured than him. Richter tries to rest and recalls the monster saying the name Hastur, which doesn't quite add up to the fact that Pastor Michael Thomas was involved. Shortly after Richter explains to Adrian who Hastur is, The One Who Shall Not Be Named, which causes Adrian to call Hastur PP. They then agree to go back to Richter's magically protected shop. After Robert drops them off he quickly leaves. They go inside and Red starts drinking alcohol while Adrian talks to Richter. Adrian understands that Richter is smarter than him so he asks him for help. Richter tells Adrian some nice lessons and potentially effective methods to make sure Red is less impulsive and prone to injuries. One thing Richter tells Adrian is that maybe if Adrian wants Red to stop getting hurt he should teach her how to avoid it. Adrian listens but doesn't quite understand. Red then rudely interrupts their meaningful conversation and she tells Adrian they will indeed come up with a plan this time. Adrian decides to turn this on her by saying he will listen to her plan and that the group will go with it only if he agrees to the plan. Red begrudgingly agrees to that. The episode ends after Tom speaks his ending note.
