- "What otherworldly horrors will the McElroys face this week? Let's find out together… in the Adventure Zone!"—The Announcer
See here for the main recap page.
Our heroes’ first job is not going especially well. Taako, Merle and Magnus are hot on the trail of their employer’s kidnappers, leading them into a perilous gerblin den. Will they discover the fate of Gundren and his ward, Barry Bluejeans? Or will they find themselves held up by complicated gerblin office politics?
