"This episode's a regular Stunt Spectacular! Don't try this at home kids, unless you happen to live in... The Adventure Zone!"

See here for the main recap page.

This episode is basically a self-contained Fast and the Furious movie, if that film franchise incorporated actual arcane magicks, rather than just "movie magic." Magnus does some risky jumping. Merle takes a tumble. Taako summons a new best friend.

Tropes

  • Big Damn Heroes: Under the spell of a Mind-Control Device, Taako takes off his harness and jumps off the battlewagon. He's suddenly caught by Klarg, who's riding a motorcycle and dumps Taako in the sidecar.
  • Cool Horse: Taako uses Phantom Steed to summon Garyl, a "large quasi-real horse-like creature" Sapient Steed that looks like a Unicorn with two rainbow-coloured horns, a mullet, and with Erasure playing in the background.
  • Full-Boar Action: One battlewagon is a chariot run by two orcs wearing boar masks, and is pulled by a giant armoured boar. Magnus jumps onto the chariot and yanks the reins to prevent it charging Merle and Garyl.
  • Horseback Heroism: Garyl catches Merle right as he's falling towards the ground, and becomes his new ride.
