The amazing photography of Todd Baxter

So the Owl Scouts series really seemed to be telling a story, like if you only had the illustrations of a children’s book to go off, not the words, but it still makes narrative sense.
But it got a bit disjoint at the end and I can’t make out the story. Um… what happened? How? Why?

(I also wonder if Penny Arcade’s “The Lookouts” and “The Tithe” were part of the inspiration?)
