In a frantic race against time, the party use the three reacquired Rune Stones to transport themselves to Earthscar Village ahead of the unleashed Manticore. But upon returning, they find not everything is as they left it.
Full Synopsis As the party watches the Manticore fly off into the distance, they discover the runestones were left behind. They use them to open another portal which takes them back to Earthscar, ahead of the Manticore. There they find themselves face to face with Fondue’s father, Chadge (Matt Gourley), who joins the group, hoping to make up for abandoning Fondue as a child. They search the village to warn the chief, only to discover that an elf named Teddar Spice (Nathan Fillion) has replaced the original chief. Teddar joins the group as they go in search of the original chief, Sandy Michael, who knows more about the power of the runestones. Sandy comes up with a plan to use the runestones to open a portal, force the Manticore through it, and then re-seal it before more demons can escape. The Manticore eventually arrives, leaving the party to distract the Manticore while Sandy Michael prepares the seal. Though the party fights valiantly, they can’t bring the Manticore towards the portal. Determined to make it up to his son, Chadge tries to drag the Manticore into the portal with himself. Through combined efforts of Chadge, Boneweevil, and the newly returned blue dragon the Manticore is forced into the portal, which closes, trapping all four on the other side. Fondue and Beor, are left to mourn the loss of their friend. In a mid-credits scene, it’s revealed that both Boneweevil and the dragon, Charles, survived the trip through the portal, and have banded together to search for a way back.
