Our Fearless Franchisees manage to infiltrate the Gold and Glory Soundstage, on the eve of Siona's big show, and put in place the beginning of a plan to try and entrap Siona's supposed Doppleganger, and the so-called Saltmarsh Sirens.  Onwards!  To Gold and Glory!

What's up, you plump little radishes? It's me! The guy who writes these! Mike, Andrew & Alissa are back, and oh boy is this a good one! The dwarven innkeeper Jolly has led our gang down into a dark, treacherous library in search of three books hidden somewhere in its shelves. The only problem is they're not alone... A metallic echo rings throughout the chamber. Things guard these books, slinking through the shadows, and there seems to be a wicked trick of the light. (You'll get that one later). Our gang will have to use all of their wits in order to best the magical wards protecting the library and its secrets held within! Also, the queen died... like not in the episode but in real life. The British one. Dead as any dead chick that ever died. I don't know if I have an opinion on it. She was OLD. Like 'featured in a local news segment' old. Like so old if your friend was like "My grandmother who is this old just died." You'd just be like Aww and move on. Maybe you'd talk about what you're getting for lunch seconds after. So old. Anyway. Also, the new guy is old too! The new king? He's British too. Old as sin. Not as old for sure. Oh! Remember that Prince Phillip duder? Now HE was the scary kinda old when he died. Like you don't want to look at him he's so old. You know? Itwasgross. Like I feel like he was in the press right before he died just because like it was a miracle the air wasn't crushing his skeleton.... like it was a miracle he was mobile in public. And then, next thing you know, in the ground. In a casket. Anyway, I redress, this really is a good episode! I promise! So tune in for another rousing episode of DUNGEOOOON RADIOOOOO HOURRRRRR!!!!!

Siona crashes Selina's emergency board meeting on the Sea Ghost, armed with interesting facts about Dran Enterprises, Timely, and the upcoming Siona Starglimmer concert at the new Gold and Glory Soundstage at the Empty Nest.  Helfyx documents significant levels of corporate dysfunction and cultural issues for his organizational efficiency audit.  TH3.0 makes himself very useful as an impromptu...woodworker?  

With her solo infiltration mission into Dran Enterprises gone complete awry, Siona makes a deal with Gold and Glory's corporate arch-nemesis - in exchange for...front row tickets to Siona's upcoming concert at the Empty Nest.  Selina has another revelatory vision, and calls an emergency meeting of the executive council...

Freelance agent Helfyx “The Breaker” Moonshadow accepts a lucrative adventuring contract from Dran Enterprises, to investigate strange goings-ons in his old hometown, Moonshadow-on-Haven. Accompanied by subcontractors Enigma and Pi (the Talking Cat), our artificer extraordinaire braves a family reunion and peer pressure to inhale psychedelic myconid spores

Shadow Council!  A special retroactive retelling of the adventures of Helfyx, along with some freelance contractors - an origin story...of sorts...and...an obligatory gnomish shortcut....to Mushrooms!? 

Part B of Siona Starglimmer's valiant (or is that Foolhardy) Solo mission to Infiltrate the corporate headquarters of Gold and Glory's dastardly rivals, Dran Enterprises.  Does Dran have (gasp!) union troubles?

Desperate to uncover clues that might reveal the whereabouts of the Gnome Artificer Timely, Siona embarks on a risk solo mission into the depths of Dran Enterprise's Corporate Headquarters, and runs into...some stiff opposition!  

With evidence of Infernal contracts with the Shadar Kai, our Fearless Franchisees leave the Imposter Headquarters, but not before laying some well placed booby traps.  But suspicious eyes in the sky attempt to follow them…Selina meets some long lost relations.  Helfyx receives compliments on his weapon, and…there is dancing…and divinations!    

The rescue mission is a failure!  Theo is whisked away by a mysterious enemy, using a planar shift away from our Fearless Franchisees, who are left to investigate the ongoing mystery - an Underdark Mirror Plane, a Magic infused portal mechanism, and the headquarters of the Impersonator Gold and Glory executives...

Edeth returns from the mirror plane to mount a rescue mission to save Theo from the clutches of a demonic underdark entity.  New and enthusiastic on the job, the warforged construct TH3.0 joins the fray, along with Helfyx “The Breaker” Moonshadow, a gnome artillerist, apparently hired by Acquisitions Incorporated to conduct an organizational effectiveness audit.  What could go wrong?  Onwards!  To Gold and Glory!

Under suspicion from Corporate Headquarters, our Fearless Franchisees find themselves under investigation for...irregularities, including allegations of double dipping, consorting with the enemy, and other alleged operational malfeasance.   Which, as far as Acq Inc is concerned, means one thing....Enter...the Specialist!

Separate and Isolated by their separate quests, the G-Team scrambles to uncover the myriad , but sinister secrets of Saltmarsh.  Selina and Beau-Beau further explore the cellars beneath the fake Gold and Glory Headquarters.  Siona has an encounter of the avian kind, and Edeth and Theo try to reconcile with Kt'Niss - a Gloomstalker Ranger in her favoured terrain...What else lies in store, for Gold...and Glory!

In a brave (or foolhardy) three-way party split, our Fearless franchisees begin investigations to uncover secrets and clues that might reveal the whereabouts the gnome artificer Timely Trunort, reveal the Gold and Glory Imposters operating a rake corporate headquarters out of Saltmarsh, and attempt determine what happened to Kt'Niss, their once companion and partner, who seems hell bent on seeking vengeance and retribution!  Onwards!  To Gold and Glory!

When last we saw our Heroes, Theo and Edeth find themselves transported to a strange and shadowy subterranean realm, only to encounter their old Obviator companion - Kt'Niss Drowb, who Gold and Glory left behind at the Bloodtide Sahuagin Outpost of Thule.  
Siona continues her search for her missing gnome friend, Timely Trunort, and Selina continues her infiltration and intelligence gathering efforts within the so-called Gold and Glory headquarters... 

Returned to Saltmarsh, our Fearless Franchisees find themselves beset by some strange homecomings.  Siona strikes out on her own, seeking to find clues that might explain the whereabouts of the missing gnome, Timely Trunort.  Selina attempts to unravel the mystery of the G-Team's Saltmarsh headquarters, an HQ that Gold and Glory....never built.  Theo and Edeth a reunited with...an old friend.   

Our Fearless Franchisees receive a hero's welcome in their triumphant return to Saltmarsh.  That said, the G-team finds out that in their long absence, the sleepy little town of Saltmarsh has changed…significantly.  Beau-beau da hobo introduces himself to Gold and Glory, and tries to demonstrate his…umm skills, and Edeth finds her ultimate chicken dish.  All this and more, in episode 4, Part B - Return to Saltmarsh! 

Our Fearless Franchisees receive a hero's welcome in their triumphant return to Saltmarsh.  That said, the G-team finds out that in their long absence, the sleepy little down of Saltmarsh has definitely begun to wake up...Edeth tries a new chicken dish, and Beau-beau meets the team!    

Still days away from Saltmarsh, subtle pressures brew within the simmering pot that has become the Sea Ghost.  Tensions between our Fearless Franchisees threaten to boil over, upsetting the delicate balance forged to date between our heroes.  One has to wonder, what's behind it all?  Oh, and Beau-Beau continues explore the winding ways...beneath Saltmarsh!
