Granny

> "*As long as it doesn't make me bleed or cry, I'll try it.*"
> ― Granny
>
>

**Granny** is a quite elderly, master alchemist, drug-enthusiast, and an ally of Butylene O'Kipple. She lives on the outskirts of a town in the Star-Metal hills in a old hut beneath a willow tree which she calls the Love Shack. Granny is a short, dishevelled woman who walks around barefoot in a coat with pockets filled with different vials. Mushrooms grow in her hand, and she wears a set of glasses with multiple sets of lenses that can be swung into position as needed.

Her home is covered in shelves filled with mostly unlabeled bottles, though one is labeled 'Vigors of Youth'. Soup cooks in a large pot over the hearth. A large number of cats share her home, whose fur she sometimes uses as ingredients. If someone speaks the right passphrase, "I hear you have a humongous fungus," she will provide visitors with a variety of magical and chemical services.

Butylene first met her while seeking out information on a mysterious scroll with mushrooms growing on it she encountered at Wunderbred Manor. Granny led Butylene to her secret laboratory, that she called her 'real kitchen' to investigate the fungus, and spends some time teaching her some alchemical skills as well as helping her prepare her first batch of mutagen. She warns Butylene that she will owe Granny a favor for this.

Granny later met Butylene again at the Nexus of She'Bae at an alchemy stall where she found tools made my a skilled alchemist. They worked together to get Butylene some new alchemical equipment at a bargain. She left the tiefling, letting her know she now owes Granny two favors.

Wild Shape

> "*Hello, Londyn Bradshaw here, the shark whale here.*"
> ― Londyn Bradshaw
>
>

**Wild Shape** is an ability that allows the user to take the form of an animal. Within Queens of Adventure it is a frequent spell used by firbolg druid, Londyn Bradshaw.

## Description

Wild shape is an ability available to druids that allows them to transform into any animal they have seen before. The available forms are limited by the druid's level. The higher the level, the more challenging the forms they can take. They can use the ability twice without taking a rest. Firbolgs also have this ability naturally, regardless of their class.

While transformed, the user takes on the animal's hit points. If those hit points are used up, the user returns to normal and their previous hit points (though they take any additional damage from the attack that reduced their animal form to zero).

Typically, while in wild shape a user cannot cast spells, but it doesn't disrupt previously cast spells. They can also normally only speak in a language that the animal can speak in.

Londyn Bradshaw has shown on many occasions a proficiency for this ability that has allowed her to bend or break most of these rules.

## List of Uses

Below are a list of times that Londyn Bradshaw has used Wild Shape

### Main Podcast

* Artic Fox, while in Belfry's office (The Furblog & The Merpeep).
* Daddy shark, to swim to the underwater city (The Furblog & The Merpeep)
* Seastar, to cling to her companions as they enter Alighieri (A Moment on the Lips).
* Parasite, to investigate egg sacs (A Moment on the Lips).
* Seastar, to grab onto Butylene (A Moment on the Lips).
* Frog creature, to communicate with other frog creatures (A Moment on the Lips).
* Worm, to burrow into a treasure pile (Vice Squad).
* Shark, to burst Gnomi out of a treasure pile (Vice Squad).
* Merfolk/Firbolg hybrid, to question a skeleton (Hex in Violence).
* Centaur Firbolg, to charm a centaur and two-headed dog (Hex in Violence).
	+ Londyn would remain in this form for three and a half episodes before assuming her normal form.
* Parasite, to infiltrate Cher Noble (Beauty Rest).
	+ Londyn would remain in this form for three episodes before assuming her normal form.

### Legends Episodes/Bonus Episodes/Unreleased Adventures

* Snake, to communicate with river snakes (The Pernicious Poisoning of Peachblossom - Part One)
* Bear, to protect a town from a green dragon (The Pernicious Poisoning of Peachblossom - Part Two)
* Poisonous Snake, to fight newts (Mr Boogaloo's Dungeon Dash).
* Eel, to communicate with other eels (Boots the House Down).

## Behind the Queens

Londyn remained in wild shape from the moment she was fully introduced in the main podcast in The Furblog & the Merpeep, until Beauty Rest, seven episodes later.

Like Fraya Love with Shape Water, Londyn has often used Wild Shape in ways not allowed by the standard D&D rules. This is mostly due to the 'rule of cool' that encourages creative play.
Tumbleweaves

**Tumbleweaves** are magically empowered pieces of wig. They are part of the evolution of mannequeens.

These small, colorful bits of wig can attack enemies, but also will attempt to gather together. When four tumbleweaves combine, they can form a blightwig. When a blightwig is attached to a manequin, creating a mannequeen. While on a mannequeen, blightwigs can produce more tumbleweaves.

While hired to perform for Lady Edith Wunderbred at the House of Wunderbred, the adventuring party later known as Booty and the Hofish, encountered tumbleweaves on several occasions. While first walking on stage, Arson Nicki found several and pinned them to her head before they eventually transformed into a blightwig that attacked her. Later, while on a railcar ride below the manor, a blightwig on a mannequeen spit several from one mine cart to the dumpster the queens were riding in, and had to be defeated.

It is unknown if tumbleweaves only exist as a part of shady magic, or if they might be created through other means as well.
Teapot of Truth

> "*By adding water to this porcelain pot, you can magically brew four servings of Truth Tea per minute.*"
> ― - Item Card
>
>

**The Teapot of Truth** is an item for Dungeons and Dragons created by Queens of Adventure. It was released to financial backers of the show on Patreon.

## Item Description

Tea brewed in this pot compels the drinker to speak truth for ten minutes, although if they attempt to tell a lie they will realize they are under a magical influence.

## Behind the Queens

This is the second item created and released for the show by Tavern of Trinkets. It is the first item to have not yet appeared in the show.

The item is a reference to Drag Queens spilling 'tea', slang for truth.
Snow Beast

**Snow Beasts**, also known as Yeti, are a kind of monster found around the Spine of the World mountains, below the Crystal Palace.

There are two known varieties of Snow Beasts: normal and Abominable. The later are considerably larger and more dangerous. Whether they are different species or different stages of development. Both versions have distinctive cries

The adventuring party of Booty and the Hofish encountered one of each variety while stranded at the base of the mountain and trying to return to the palace to participate in the Search for the Tops competition. The first was a regular one, which surprised them at a frozen lake on the way to the Island of Misfit Boys. When distractions didn't work, Butylene O'Kipple took her mutagen formula to become Mutalene and battle the beast. Harlotte O'Scara climbed the monster using slippers of spider step, and jabbed her stiletto heel into its eye.

Later, while flying in a griffon drawn sleigh up the mountain, an Abominable Snow Beast began to chase them. Harlotte threw her shoe, suspecting the gore from the other beast may have attracted it, at the giant monster and successfully distracted it long enough for the group to reach the palace. The beast still pursued them, and attacked the Palace's theater shortly after the party finished their performance and won. It was fought off by the powers of the Ice Princess, but not before it had wreaked a lot of damage.
Temple of Boom

The **Temple of Boom** is both an ancient location of Glamazon culture, and a tourist attraction on the Honored Outside Guest side of Fire Island. It is located a few hours walk north of the Golden Palace resort, and south of the town of Watersport. The temple is a part of a building that resembles a Medieval Castle.

The function of the temple to the Glamazons is not known, but it was significant enough to be marked on maps the Glamazons installed as art pieces in Stone Shrines around the island. The only evidence of its Glamazon past is a fresco mural in the main lobby whose panels depict the history of the Age of Queens and the founding of Glamalala. There were at least six panels, possibly more, but only the first five remain showing: Queens near House Wunderbred doing great works, monsters attacking, the Queens succumbing to the Taint, a terrifying creature, and lastly three figures in a boat sailing towards Fire Island.

Under the Treaty of Fire Island, the temple has been renovated into a nightclub and buffet. It may also include hotel rooms for guests. DJ Cyberpreppy hosted a full moon party that was to be epic. However, that night the Kracken, an Old God, began an attack on the island and seaspawn forces killed everyone at the party. With their party unfinished, the DJ and guests remained as ghosts, bound to the portable party stone altar in the temple. With the help of Booty and the Hofish, they were able to follow the altar as it was carried over to the Golden Palace in hopes they could throw a party at the next full moon that would fulfill the ghosts needs.
Animus

**Animusy -** określenie w mowie Pyrriańskiej na smoka obdarzonego mocami, które pozwalają mu zaczarować nieożywione przedmioty, rośliny, zwierzęta i inne smoki, by robiły wszystko, co tylko sobie zażyczy smok animus. Jednak płaci za to straszliwą cenę. Za każdym razem gdy smok animus używa swoich mocy, jego cząstka duszy zanika. Smoki Animusy zostały zauważone w pięciu z siedmiu plemion Pyrri. Lodoskrzydłe, Morskoskrzydłe, Nocoskrzydłe, Piaskoskrzydłe i Nieboskrzydłe miały wcześniej smoki animusy. Przedmioty zaklęte przez animusy nazywa się *dotkniętymi.*

## Znane Animusy

## Ciekawostki

* W wywiadzie podczas Festiwalu Książek dla Dzieci w Rochester, na pytanie dotyczące inspiracji dla magii animusa, Tui odpowiedziała: "Tak więc z magią animusa, zaczęło się od myślenia, że potrzebuję jakiegoś rodzaju magii w tym świecie, ale nie chciałam, żeby było tak, że każdy może mieć dowolną magię w każdej chwili, chciałam, żeby była ona w pewnym sensie specyficzna i żeby była dość rzadka. A potem, zwłaszcza w drugiej książce, im bardziej zaczęłam myśleć o tym, co mogłabym z nią zrobić i jak mogłaby pasować do sprawy morderstwa, tak zaczęła się rozwijać historia tego, co ona z tobą robi i to wszystko."
Tech Wizard

> "*If it smelled good - definitely would have stuck a finger in. Curiosity would have gotten the better of him.*"
> ― Tech Wizard
>
>

**Tech Wizard,** real name Squirt Purpler, is a human wizard from another plane who found himself adventuring in Avernus with other people. He dresses in robes and sandals.

## Herstory

Tech Wizard awoke in Avernus, the first level of the nine hells, with no memory of how he got there, but aware he was now a different sort of wizard. He was near his friend Zenith, and two strangers: Butylene O'Kipple and Fraya Love.

The foursome met Charon, the fairy ferryman, who told them they would need soul coins to return on his ferry to the mortal plane. Tech and the others traversed Avernus to rob the Wasp Queen of some of her soul coins.

On the adventure, Tech proved to be a little cowardly, pissing himself while invisible and stuck to wasp bile. He did muster up enough courage to invisibly steal royal jelly for Apocrita, a young wasp the group was helping to stage a coup.

After the destruction of the wasp hive, the group set sail on Charon's ferry, and Tech and Zenith found themselves alone in a row boat at the edge of their world.

## Character Sheet

**Spells**

* Invisibility
* Fire Arrow
* Flight

**Equipment**

* Dagger

## Behind the Queens

Tech Wizard is a main player character of actual play podcast NeoScum, which uses the ShadowRun rpg system. For his Queens of Adventure crossover appearance, he was adapted to be a D&D wizard class. Tech's real name comes from his NeoScum biography, where he was originally a children's television show villain.

At the start of the crossover, player Casey Toney admitted he hadn't come up with a clever meaning for the word 'Tech' in a fantasy setting. Some suggestions the group comes up with are to rename him "Warforged Wizard", "Iron Wizard", "Tinker Wizard", or "Steam Wizard". At the end of the episode, he declared it stood for 'Technically a Wizard'.
Three Fingers Inn

The **Three Fingers Inn** is a tavern located on Fire Island, as part of the Golden Palace resort complex.

During the Siege of the Kracken, the property was abandoned temporarily as residents of the island retreated into the Golden Palace for safety and security. It's main bartender, Liir, began to work primarily out of the Golden Palace.

A week into the Siege, Liir asked the drag adventuring party, Booty and the Hofish, to find a tankard of his from the basement of the Three Fingers. They found the basement flooded and inhabited by a rock lobster. After defeating the creature they retrieved the vessel, a tankard of sobriety, and returned it to the bartender.

Several days later, the Golden Palace inhabitants made a deal with a devil, Barb, for him to assist them in defending the island against the Kracken. Barb set up his alchemical distillery equipment inside the Three Fingers in order to work on various concoctions and formulas, as well as repurposing his lava babies.
Xanadu

**Xanadu** is a war boar, and the animal companion of Dak Rambo.

## Herstory

When his owner, Dak, awoke in Avernus, Xanadu had taken the form of a war boar pulling a cart. He followed his owner across the hellscape in search of hell coins, but was stymied when asked to climb the side of a citadel.

Dak asked his companion to look for help. Confused, the boar went hunting for treasure in a pile of bones while the party broke into the tower.

Later, Xanadu ran alongside the party as they escaped on an infernal war machine. Xanadu crossed over the river styx with the group, slowly transforming back into a big rig truck as they crossed through the portal to the mortal realm.

## Behind the Queens

In the world of NeoScum, Xanadu is the name of the big rig truck that Dak drives around the country and which serves as the home base of the NeoScum cast. Xanadu became a boar with a cart, and Dak became a ranger, as a way to incorporate the iconic vehicle into a DnD setting.
Star-Metal Hills

The **Starmetal Hills** are a region of the Realm. Several towns lie nearby, including the town that houses the Tavern of the Hung Man. One of the Great Houses of Drag from the Age of Queens, the House of Wunderbred, is in the area as well.

## Herstory

During the Age of Queens, the House of Wunderbred was built in the area. In modern days, the house has fallen into disrepair. Yearly, groups of performers are brought through the hills to the house, and put under trials. The most recent group managed to survive the trials and brought down the house. This group went on to form the drag troupe Booty and the Hofish.

## Behind the Queens

The Starmetal hills are a location from Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition. The world of Queens of Adventure uses the basic geography of the Forgotten Realms, but few locations from it are mentioned. The Starmetal Hills are a rare exception, and were sited as the location where the first live show, Fall of the House of Wunderbred, took place.
Undine

**Undine** is a water goddess from the realm. Little is known about her and her powers.

## Summary

Aasimar Paladin, Agrias Lunnette, found herself unsure of her spiritual path after a series of adventures that led her into the fae wild and the service of Queen Titania.

During the annual Fall Faerie Festival, Agrias and her companions were asked to be the mortal team to undergo the Pumpkin Spice quest, a part of the festival. On that quest the group found a dryad in a valley of flowers. They wished to pass through but Agrias was concerned for the dryad's connection to the flowers. As the two bonded, Agrias decided to offer her wish, which Queen Titania promised each of the group if they completed the quest, to help the dryad. This experience awoke a new spiritual connection for the paladin, and she declared herself a servant of Undine.

What this connection will mean for Agrias remains to be seen.

## Behind the Queens

Agrias had originally been a servant of the god Helm. However, in the years since the first Extra-Life live stream, player Carlos Maza had forgotten who his character's god had been. Undine was who he decided on mid-way through the fourth live stream.

Undine is a common god in the D&D lore. She is based off of an elemental being from Greek and European mythology.
Wigsnatch Commemorative Festival

The **Wigsnatch Commemorative Festival**is a community festival near the town of Weavington Hollow from the time of the Age of Queens that was recently restarted. It features both a fair, with booths of items to share related to local products and drag culture items, as well as am amateur drag competition.

### Origin

The festival began to commemorate the time when Great Queens saved the town. Weavington Hollow has been known for centuries for its impressive wigs, many made from materials harvested from the natural environment surrounding the town. Ogres from the nearby hills would come into town, snatch the wigs, and eat them. That is, until some Great Queens came and sent the Ogres back to the hills. The festival is held in their honor, although no Ogres or Great Queens had been seen in centuries, and many believed them to be merely a legend.

For unknown reasons, the festival ended for hundreds of years, only restarting quite recently.

### Drag Competition

As part of the revived festival, Wigsnatch contained a Drag competition, designed for novice queens just getting started. In honor of the Great Queens, the entrants compete and are judged as teams of four. If queens do not come in their own pre-formed team, they will be placed together.

The competition consists of them being put through various challenges related to drag life or adventuring life: booking fees, navigating difficult terrain and stage props, mock combat, and religious knowledge. Teams are awarded points for successfully passing a challenge. The team with the most points will be awarded the winner. Prizes included coin, drag supplies, and makeup from Anastasia, a troll that lives up in the hills.

### Attack at the Festival

At the first revived festival, festivities were interrupted late in the day by the arrival of an Orge, the first seen in centuries. A team consisting of four randomly paired queens, Arson Nicki, Butylene O'Kipple, Fraya Love, and Harlotte O'Scara, who had already earned a complete seven points and the acclaim of the crowd, managed to best the beast. For this, they were announced the first winners of the revived Wigstock festival.
Welcome to Queens of Adventure: Legends!

**Welcome to Queens of Adventure: Legends!** is the first episode of Queens of Adventure Legends, a spin-off podcast of Queens of Adventure.

## Summary

This mini episode is a brief introduction by DM Matt Baume into the format of the podcast. He explains that over the two years since Queens of Adventure started they have traveled to many cities, recorded with over twenty queens and many guests. This podcast will feature one shots, live shows, and other easy to jump into content outside the main story of the main podcast.

Matt also announces that as part of the launch, they will be releasing one new episode each day from March 8th to March 15th, 2020.

## Behind the Queens

The episode ends with a short outtake of Arson Nicki and Fraya Love joking about coming up with the show's catch phrase: Sissy That Roll.

SS Salty Starfish

The **SS Salty Starfish** is a boat that sailed to and from Fire Island before its destruction at the hand of the Kracken.

## Herstory

After winning the Ice Scepter during the Search for the Tops competition and the determining they needed to book passage to Fire Island, Booty and the Hofish tasked their companion, Copper Top, with finding them a gig to pay for the trip. He booked them as entertainers on the Salty Starfish in exchange for free passage. They were greeted at the port by Captain Zeta Jones who welcomed them aboard.

After several days at sea, a blackout occurred shortly after a performance and the scepter was stolen. At roughly the same time a storm blew up and the ship was attacked by seaspawn. The queens and Captain dispatched the monsters.

A fellow passenger, Agatha Crusty, offered to help the queens find the thief once things calmed down. They acquired a passenger list from the bridge, interviewed likely suspects, and gathered together the passengers to accuse the culprit, Father Andson.

Before they could retrieve the scepter, the priest ran up on deck, where the storm had grown worse. A Kracken was at the heart of the storm and sunk the ship.

Weeks later, the queens had arrived on Fire Island, and after a series of adventures, found their former belongings as well as pieces of the ship (but not the Ice Scepter) inside a loot horde within the Kracken Priest's lair.

The Producer

**The Producer** is a multidimensional being who occasionally targets drag queen adventurers with its powers to test their quality. He usually takes the form of a giant baby.

## Herstory

### First Documented Trials

The origin and exact nature of the Producer are unclear. In its first appearance, it had transported four queens, BenDeLa, Erika, Fraya, and Kitty, all ones it identified as having the potential to be legendary to its 'World of Wonders' to have them compete.

It asked them to play a game of William Tell, and was thrilled when Erika shot an eggplant out of Fraya's mouth. He was less thrilled when they were unaggressive with topiary animals, and at how quickly they defeated a gorgon. Their teamwork and non-competitive attitude seemed to aggravate the entity, until the queens explained what drag really meant to them.

This seemed to have been the true test the Producer was conducting, to see if they could transcend petty competition, and revealed that behind the scenes of the world it had created was an audience of other interdimensional beings. They decided all four queens had the potential to become Legendary, and sent them on their ways home, leaving the experience they felt nought but a dream in their minds.

The Producer would again transport three other queens, Arson, Harlotte, and Old Witch, to its domain. The events of this encounter have been lost, however.

### The Sassquatch Trial

Another time the Producer summoned various teams of queens from different realities and times to compete against each other. He summoned a version of Booty and the Hofish, consisting of an alternate version of Arson, Butylene, Fraya, and Irene. This group was sent on a challenge to make their way through a lush forest filled with Sasquatches, before a magical barrier collapsed in around them. The Producer left these teams mostly to their own devices, although he had the final two teams, Booty and the Hofish, and House Effluvia, decide who was the winner with a catwalk challenge.

### The Ship of Trials

The most recent documented trial the Producer conducted on other teams, including a group known as the Tuckernauts: Nocturna Lee Mission, The Other Jeannie Retelle, and Utica Queen. The Producer sent them through puzzles in a giant pirate ship, again not interfering very often. Once again he had the two qualifying teams catwalk to determine who was successful in becoming legendary.

## Behind the Queens

* It is unclear the exact inspiration for the Giant Baby. It has clear similarities to RuPaul's role as host, given its routine appearances through its 'competition' in the DragCon panel. However, its form as a giant baby may be a reference to Balok from Star Trek: The Original Series, or the space babies from 2001: A Space Odyssey, or just a general reference to all powerful beings taking the form of an infant from science fiction.
* It took four groups encountering the Producer before any thought to ask his name. Before then he was known as the Giant Baby.
Sister Baccarat

**Sister Baccarat** is a priest to the luck goddess Rhianna, and works at a shrine in the Golden Palace casino.

Her priestly garments consist of a glittery dress with a slit up the side and ball gloves.

In her chapel, she sells guests of the casino spins on her wheel, which can provide blessings for their lives. It can also inflict misfortune, as such is the way of life.

Sister Baccarat has particularly enjoyed working with the morale officers for the casino: Booty and the Hofish, who not only used her wheel in their stage show, Field Hockey: The Frock Opera, but often check in with her for a blessing before leaving on missions.

Her connection to her goddess, Rhianna Heffington, allows her to not only have good luck at the casino tables, but also to sense cheaters. She asks Booty and the Hofish to investigate since she can't leave the shrine offer.

She is in a relationship with Carmella La Mer, who works in the spa.

## Behind the Queens

\*DM Matt has stated he has a backstory for the character, should the players ever wish to explore it.
World of Wonder

The **World of Wonder** is a name applied to another dimension, in which godlike beings test drag queens for their potential to be Legendary.

The exact nature of the World of Wonder is not known. It appears to change its appearance each time new queens are brought in to be tested, based on the whims of the main tester, a being who takes the form of a Giant Floating Baby.

In one test, the world took the form of a building, with various gardens and forests surrounding it. The building is a large work room made of pink brink with large tables and make up stations. Random monsters and sentient shrubbery inhabited the landscape.

In another test, this room was the starting point, but floated hundreds of feet in the air over a vast forest. This version was filled with various kinds of sasquatches (and some snow beasts), who seem to have been other members of the Baby's species participating in the test.

The World of Wonder exists as a part of the multiverse, and out of time with the others. This allows the Giant Baby to recruit queens from various realities and eras.

## Behind the Queens

The World of Wonder is named for the production company behind Rupaul's Drag Race. The first room that the queens were taken to in the first appearance of the world was based off of the Werqroom of Drag Race. This was because the first time it appeared was during RuPaul's Drag Con, and featured a queen from the show, BenDeLaCreme.
Virgil

**Virgil** is a merfolk, and a member of the tribe that follow the dragon-turtle Alighieri. He is the caretaker of the turtle's physical needs.

## Herstory

Virgil's early life is not documented. By the time the party encountered him he was the physical caretaker of Alighieri the dragon-turtle who was spiritual leader for a group of merfolk. Virgil's tribe were nomadic, traveling the world assisting their leader in gathering stories. Although Virgil held the second highest position in his tribe, he was not satisfied as he wished to take the spot of Mystie, the head mystic.

While the tribe was heading to Fire Island to visit the Glamazons, a large storm trapped them at the archipelago, and Alighieri grew sick. Mystie and a team of mystics traveled inside to investigate, and after a few days Virgil and a team of guards followed.

Inside, the second team was captured and imprisoned in pods in the first chamber, where worm creatures infested them. Only Virgil had not been infested when drag adventurers Booty and the Hofish rescued him. He journeyed with them through the various chambers of the dragon-turtle. In each, the group had to struggle against overpowering urges to engage in vices. Virgil proved susceptible often, lusting after visions of boytaurs (don't google), devouring muck, and admitting his desire to replace Mystie.

## Behind the Queens

In the 2019 Year in Review bonus episode, DM James explained that the character was added as they recognized the party needed a guide through the insides of Alighieri. As they were going for a gross, uncomfortable vibe for the interior, Virgil's personality was designed to be a little uncomfortable.

Virgil is named for the classical poet, who the poet Dante Alighieri used as his own guide in his epic Divine Comedy, upon which the Alighieri arc was based.
Zenith

**Zenith,** also known as Z, is a cyber-troublemaker who, upon waking up in Avernus, found himself to be a warlock with an Old One as a patron. He adventured to find a way to get back home.

## History

Zenith awoke in Avernus with no memories of how he got there, although vaguely aware of two things: His life in another plane, and a pact he somehow had made with a Great Old One, whose name he never learned. Through their pact, Zenith gained a pixie familiar who looks like a flying eyeball.

He was near his friend Tech Wizard, and two strangers: Butylene O'Kipple and Fraya Love.

The foursome met the ferryman, who told them they would need soul coins to return on his ferry to the mortal plane. Zenith and the others traversed Avernus to rob the Wasp Queen of some of her soul coins.

On the adventure, Zenith attacked a hulking monster that lopped towards them when his friend Tech got stuck in hellwasp bile. He favored his eldritch blasts in battle, saving his spells for helping others, freeing both Tech and later a Celestial, Oriol, from the bile.

After the destruction of the wasp hive, the group set sail on Charon's ferry, and Tech and Zenith found themselves alone in a row boat at the edge of their world.

## Character Sheet

Rounded Major

This type of sign can be found throughout North York and Scarborough, along major arteries. The signs are made of metal and are characterised by their blue faces, white text in Helvetica with a border, and rounded corners. The typography is generally title-cased, with a large street name preceding a smaller in-line abbreviated street suffix, although isolated exceptions to this rule can be seen in the gallery below. It was installed WHEN? by WHO?

Praça Luís de Camões

This sign can be found at the intersection of College & Crawford streets. It is named for the square (praça) of the same name in Lisbon, Portugal which itself is named for Luís Vaz de Camões, the famed Portugese poet of the 16th century.

The sign uses the same design template as the surrounding Portugal Village neighbourhood.

Blue Jays Way

This sign can be found one block southeast of King & Spadina. Originally part of Peter Street, the section south of King Street West was renamed Blue Jays Way in January 1993 to commemorate the baseball team’s first World Series championship. The graphical elements were added in honour of the team's second World Series championship the following year.

Surf Queens

Svirfneblin

The **Surf Queens** were a legendary group of drag queens from centuries ago.

### Legend

After traveling the world looking for a home, they found one on a stretch of beach somewhere in the realm. There they partied for many years until a local yacht club tried to develop the land. The Surf Queens fought back and won the rights to the beach, and continued to party, presumably until their deaths. The Surf Queens Memorial Weenie Roast and concert is held in their honor annually, until such a time when their story was considered to be legend, and not history.

### Legacy

Possibly sensing that the beach may fall under threat again, the queens left a clue to the location of their tomb in the pattern of a bikini. The garment passed from father to son, in a family of bugbears for generations. The current holder presented it to Booty and the Hofish, a group of queens he hired to perform at the Weenie Roast. He implored them to help find the tomb and any artifacts to prove their existence so the beach could be made a historical landmark and protected from developers. The clue was revealed to be a map in the polka dot pattern and a password that opened a portal to the tomb, hidden within the shrubs of cruising.

### Tomb

The tomb was located in a pocket dimension. The entrance chamber contained a fresco depicting three surf queens. One panel features a muscular queen, covered in fur and a gold bikini, riding a board. The middle panel shows an avian queen in a tasseled one-piece bathing suit, flying over a longboard. The third features a small hunched queen swaddled in a cowl surfing up a wave on a clockwork board. Beneath each is a piece of lore, which a Magic Mouth spell also recites out loud.

* Spikefang - "The mighty bugbear Spikefang was the first to make a stand. She proclaimed surf queens have as much right to be on the beach as anyone."
* Wormswallow - "Wormswallow the glamorous aarakocra rallied others to the cause with her persuasive and catchy songs."
* Clinkbanger - "Whn the battle was won the great prize was sealed away so that only a worthy queen could claim it. Thanks to Clinkbanger, the crafty svirfneblin.

Another chamber in the tomb features a number of sarcophagi along the walls, implying there were more queens than just the three notable ones in the fresco, as these three queens were buried in a chamber at the back of several other chambers.

### Next Wave

As the descendant of the old Yacht Club tried to enact his plan to use a sand monster to chase away the beach party people once again, Booty and the Hofish fought to protect the beach. Their act summoned the spirits of hundreds of surf queens, led by Spikefang, Wormswallow, and Clinkbanger, to rise up out of the sea and lead a song ritual to break the mystical programming on the sand monster, who became a party person.

The local Historical Society decided, based on the evidence, that the beach qualified as a Historical Monument (later redubbed a Herstorical Monument), preserving the work of the Surf Queens for generations to come.
Treaty of Fire Island

The **Treaty of Fire Island** is a document signed by officials from the Glamazon nation permitting non Glamazons to live and operate on a portion of Fire Island. The treaty outlines the rules and penalties for violations of the agreement.

The document names the party the Glamazons are making the agreement with as Honored Outside Guests, or HOGs for short. This term refers to anyone, resident or tourist, who visits the HOG side of the island, regardless of their awareness or agreement of the treaty.

The treaty has many sections. Highlights of provisions of the treaty include:

* No HOG shall leave the area west of the Radiant Rise ridge. This includes visiting any other island of the Glamala Archipelago.
* HOGs are permitted to do as they please otherwise, without interference from the Glamazons, except in some provisions where certain locations must be preserved, such as the old Slagview Temple facade and layout of a temple which became the Golden Palace, centerpiece of the Slagbottom Cove attractions.
* In cases of island threatening emergencies, HOGs can petition to the Glamazons for Mutual Defense.
* HOGs are prohibited from approaching or interfering with the island's native glama bird population.
* Violation of the treaty can result in exile by boat from the island, or death of the violator, and possibly the exile of all HOGs from the island.
* References to fashion designer: Mr Vorbus.

Copies of the treaty are kept in Glamalala and in the Town Hall Archives in the town of Watersport. During the Siege of the Kracken, the Watersport copy was retrieved by Booty and the Hofish, but lost when the group violated the treaty by visiting the central island and the Ziggurat.

## Behind the Queens

* The players were provided with an abridged copy of the treaty after they retrieved it in game from Watersport. A copy of this document was shared on the podcast's discord channel.
Rua da Graciosa

This sign can be found on the south side of the intersection at Dovercourt Road and Dundas Street West. It was installed around 2000 at the request of the nearby Graciosa Community Club to honour this prominent local institution.

Linda DeLellis Lane

This sign can be found on a laneway running off Scott Road just south of Eglinton Avenue West. It was installed by the Silverthorn Ratepayers' Association in 1999 and commemorates Linda DeLellis, a local resident who was the unintended victim of a fatal drive-by shooting in 1996.

Rouge Park Watershed

This sign can be found where branches of the Rouge River watershed cross local streets throughout Scarborough. They were first installed by the Rouge Park Alliance (a conservation partnership between the cities of Toronto and Markham) in late 2007 after being approved by both of the municipalities concerned in December 2004.

 The sign features blue title cased text on a white, wave-shaped face, with the Rouge Park logo in the top right corner and the City of Toronto logo in the bottom left corner. As stated in an official city background file:

*"The agreed upon ‘wave’ design harmonized a number of features that each municipality sought to be included on a watercourse crossing sign: tributary name, watershed logo and municipality logo. It was also an innovative design with a unique shape, like the meander of a stream, making it different and distinct from other information and directional signage. The Alliance agreed that the shape and design could be used in other watersheds and become the basis for common stream crossing signage across the GTA’s watersheds."*

 The watercourses within Toronto identified by these signs include the Rouge River, Little Rouge Creek, Petticoat Creek, and Morningside Creek.
