Big if true.
In case you didn't know, carrots are actually bad for rabbits.
Do I get to throw a ball at the TV?
Yeah, Junk tokens felt like a natural setup for this set, even though it was probably developed independently.
Wanderhome and Root: the RPG are existing takes on this style of setting as an RPG. There's a whole world of role-playing games beyond just that one!
Fountainport
The gang makes it to Fountainport, King Glarb's 🐸 city. While they wait to get an audience with him, Helga explains that she was expelled from her apprenticeship under him because of a very embarrassing spellweaving mistake.
It was Glarb
They tell King Glarb about all the stuff. The attacks, the egg, Cruelclaw, etc. Getting suspicious, Helga 🐸 figures him out and yanks off the curtain behind his throne, revealing the egg.
"The Calamity Beast egg?" Helga reeled from shock. "You have it?"
"I should hope so," King Glarb replied. "I paid Cruelclaw extremely well to bring it here."
He plans on hatching and raising his own Calamity Beast in the hopes of defending Valley from the existing ones. He orders the mercenaries to get rid of Helga and company. But Helga is tired of thinking herself a failure.
Chaos
A lot of fighting breaks loose in the throne room. That gets put on hold when the storm dragon from the last episode shows up and attacks Fountainport. With Helga's help, Mabel 🐭 gets high up to attack the dragon when it swoops in.
Coming in with a steel chair!
By god, it's Maha, tackling the dragon from the side and clearing out the storm with a curtain of night! Maha bites off some of the dragon's tail feathers, driving it away. The owl then perches at the edge of the floor, staring at Mabel. She suddenly realizes what Maha is here for and picks up the egg, offering it to the owl. It takes the egg and leaves peacefully.
Aftermath
- King Glarb and Cruelclaw fled, locations unknown. Some of Cruelclaw's lackeys surrendered instead.
- Helga is now officially a hero and decides to stay in Goodhill, the town where Mabel lives. She briefly becomes possessed by a vision:
"The kings in the dark will return. The mage in blue will bring about the end."
- Before Ral 🦦 leaves, Mabel offers him a gift: a muffin and two decorative buttons, for him and his husband.
Unanswered questions
- Where is Jace?
- What's going to happen with Pondside?
- What about that dragon?
- Maha was looking for its egg. Why are the other Calamity Beasts attacking?
"You'll always be welcome here," Mabel told him, stroking the gray, fuzzy leaves. "Perhaps we'll journey together again."
"Stranger things have happened," Ral replied. "Can't say I've loved having a tail, though."
What?
Here comes the summary for episode 4!
Into the cave
An elder rat orders the others to stand down and invites the bloom gang to tea.
- Some mercenaries had come by recently. One was a weasel in a red hood: Cruelclaw. He led Maha to the swamp outside.
- Cruelclaw stole an egg of a Calamity Beast, which could be how he's able to control them.
- Mabel 🐭 is determined to return the egg.
With encouragement from Zoraline 🦇, Helga 🐸 tries to meditate to get a vision of where Cruelclaw's band went.
Fountainport. The home of King Glarb and her "greatest failure" under him.
Through the dandelions
The gang leaves for Fountainport. They take a shortcut through a dangerous dandelion field.
Ral 🦦 opens up a bit. He admits he's a foreigner and that he misses his husband. He's never had someone to miss before.
A storm is coming.
That's not a Calamity Beast
A giant flying creature emerges from the storm clouds. It's a four-winged hawk-bat, like what Helga drew in episode 1. She thought it was the Sun Hawk, but Ral calls it a dragon.^1^
They try to sneak past, but the dragon notices them and attacks. Zoraline screeches to disorient it, and with Finneas's 🐰 conductive arrow, Ral tases the dragon, driving it off.
Luckily, no one's hurt. Ral dismisses the storm and they continue on.
[1] The dragon seems to have been transformed by Bloomburrow's "animal rule".
"May I ask where you hail from?" Finneas asked.
"Far away," Ral replied.
"The Outer Woods?"
"Farther."
