One-Shots

Summaries of One-Shots and short campaigns that occur in the same universe as the main games. They are listed in the order they were played, not necessarily in chronological order in the game universe.

## Campaign 1

### Time Cleaver

The first episode of 4 can be found HERE.

The Time Cleaver was a special one-shot adventure MontyGlu ran as a guest DM for itmeJP's channel RollPlay. It takes place on the continent of Alivast in and around Balton Village shortly before the main campaign begins. It takes place the spring before The Unexpectables arrived in Alivast. The campaign follows four guards of Balton Village on a quest to recover the Time Cleaver, a weapon belonging to Oreyara from a raid by Orvar and his clan of Coastal Orcs.

### The Unpredictables

50 years before the discovery of the continent of Alivast, a party of four adventurers come across a village encased in ice. A lone survivor tells them of an Ice Faerie that lives on a nearby mountaintop that may have something to do with the situation. The trek to the mountaintop is hazardous, and an unpleasant surprise awaits them at its summit!

### Unnamed Halloween 2018 Game

The game can be found on MontyGlu's YouTube channel here.

A very unlikely group of heroes investigate a haunted cabin. It is hard to tell if this was more disturbing for the players or Monty because of the sheer chaos of the players.

### The Merkz

The Merkz had three separate appearances in one-shots. Two were stand-alone adventures in the vicinity of Alivast, and included eternal guest star Edward Bosco appearing as Remy. The third was one of the Last Hurrah One-Shots at the end of Campaign 1 and had a new addition to The Merkz team. Also, Edward Bosco is the only person in the history of The Unexpectables to be a guest star in a one-shot.

#### Get Merked

While the Unexpectables are deep underground, a group of misfits meet at a tavern called the Sweet Dragon in a desperate attempt to find any work that will let them purchase more than free water. An opportunity walks in the door in the form of a nobleman with a pouch full of gold and a politically sensitive mission - find a lost son of the Silver King.

#### Cliff Hanger

The Merkz, an up and coming new mercenary group are again hard up for funds. Their previous employer calls on them again, but this time for Corbeau family business in the small town of Fish Barrow. Mystery is afoot as not everything is as it seems in the sleepy fishing village. A horrific secret lies hidden in the town, fortunately the Merkz can't leave well enough alone.

### In The Depths

*This one-off was a privately run game and no recording was made.*

A group of adventurers explore the tunnels beneath the Sweet Dragon even further and encounter a fire giant. Monty ran this game with IRL friends, so it was not streamed. Gili did leave a report about their adventures that the Unexpectables read when they finally remembered to check their mail.

### Finale One-Shots

Before the climax and epilogue of Campaign 1, there were seven one-shots that featured the return of a character who was a Guest Star in the main campaign and three other players. Many of the three "new" players were completely new to The Unexpectables, but several were players who had participated in one-offs that weren't streamed or recorded.

#### By Our Elements Combined

Kurayami Seika and 3 other genasi from the elemental planes are recruited in the aide of the Vetrion Army after the city of Alivast is captured. The group are tasked to stop a meeting with the United Orun Clergy and the fire giants before the two opposing forces against Alivast team up.
