The Quest Company

Previously: After some lengthy discussion, the gang decided to take the job guarding Maria at the Festival of Fire. With a game plan set, Roarke got permission to hang around at the Florentine manor to keep an eye on things while the rest of the crew get whatever dirt they can on the remaining families.

In this episode: Our worn-out warriors are getting ready for some downtime before their gig at the Festival of Fire. But before everyone can settle in, Kent and his crew are gonna come pick up Roland. Speaking of changing locations, Zara is getting a little wary of The Swamp...

Previously: The gang got acquainted with Maria, the last of the Florentine family. After they handed over Mateo once and for all, Maria gave them a very attractive job offer. In light of recent events, our heroes decided to talk things over before saying yes.

In this episode: With some of our cagey company feeling more skeptical than others about Maria and her offer, it sounds like there are some things that need to be hashed out. But boy oh boy, 5,000 gold pieces sure is a lot of money...

In the year 1987, a bunch of action movie star friends got together and formed their own production company. They called it... THE POWER. Their mission? To pump out action flicks with more testosterone, explosions, and pure muscle than had ever before been seen on film. Their first film, BEARQUAKE, is exactly what you would think it is!

Directed by Dominic Chevalier, this first installment of the Disaster Animal franchise is a modern masterpiece audiences can't bear to look away from!

Starring Charlton Brosnan as Dr. Malcolm Pierce, Dick Harrison as Ted "Teddy" Checkmate, and Dutch "The Hoss" Del Macho as Ron Tuggnutt

Previously: The gang took a moment to regroup and lick their wounds after the ambush. Kent and the other guards mourned Evan, and Roarke took responsibility for putting everyone in their current situation. Once they were ready, the whole crew made their way back to the Florentine estate to finish the job.

In this episode: Mateo has finally been delivered, but the Florentine awaiting our haggard heroes is not the one they expected. Who is this mysterious new figure, and what could they possibly want with the gang?

Previously: The gang ran into some trouble on their way to deliver Mateo - namely, an angry mob led by a mage who wanted Roarke, dead or alive. Tabitha shot from behind, Roarke charged in headfirst, Zara sprouted her wings, and Frank flung some fireballs.

In this episode: Our charred chums are more than a little worse for wear after that battle, and so are their hostage and escorts. If not for the Bakers, they might have been toast! But if Mateo or any of the guards are damaged beyond repair, Florentine has made it pretty clear that he will not be happy about it...

Previously: The gang kept Mateo *mostly* in one piece while dealing with Zara's eye troubles... although maybe they should consider changing the name of The Wharf to The Missing Stone. With his spirit now fully broken, Mateo got the joy of spending some extra time with Frank and Tabitha while Roarke and Zara went to meet Florentine.

In this episode: Florentine has sent a few of his guards along to make sure Mateo is brought to him safely. But the streets seem eerily quiet when our capricious couriers set out to make their delivery...
