Session fun rating: 10/10

Horses! At Tommy's hydro dam camp, Joel tried to leave Ellie with Tommy and his wife Sara. They refused and unfortunately, Ellie heard the conversation. Shortly after that, we find that Ellie is missing and seems to have taken off on a horse on her own. Tommy and Joel then grab a pair of horses of their own and go out looking for her. After a bit of horseback exploration, the two siblings find a ranch house and Ellie's horse. It turns out she was angry, left to let off some steam and was chilling out in a room of the house. After fighting a bunch of bandits around the area, When we got back to the dam, it was predictably being attacked by more bandits. We cleared out the place pretty quickly.

Eventually, Joel came to his senses and decides to accompany Ellie to the Fireflies hideout which Tommy informed us is in the Eastern Colorado University. Once we got off our horses, we started making our way through campus. The first combat scenario was pretty easy, I managed to clear out the room almost entirely stealth with the exception of two guys at the end. I also scored a new flamethrower which I will keep for Bloaters as they seemed to be weak to molotov cocktails. I reached the football field, now populated by monkeys.
