**Hang Ten** is the second released bonus episode for financial backers of Queens of Adventure. It is a live show featuring the core Seattle cast and was recorded at Timbe Room. The show sees Booty and the Hofish hunting for a legendary drag treasure to save a beach.

## Synopsis

*As this episode has been released as episodes fifteen and sixteen of Queens of Adventure: Legends, the full summary has been moved to those two pages. This page remains as an archive of the bonus episode release.*

 The four queens of Bootie and the Hofish have been hired to perform at the Surf Queens Memorial Weenie Roast. As they finish their headlining performance, a bugbear emcee interviews them on stage, and reminds guests that this event memorializes the Legendary Surf Queens who made this beach home, protecting it from the evil Yacht Club.

As the queens work a s'more booth, the bugbear tells them the beach was just sold to Humphrey Silvercheeks. He arrives just then, insults everyone and announces his plan to build a new yacht club.

The bugbear explains they tried to make the beach a historical landmark, but couldn't find evidence of the surf queen legend, except for his family's heirloom bikini. Fraya locates a phrase in draglish, providing a clue to the Surf Queens tomb. The queens locate the tomb and enter, finding a fresco depicting the three main Surf Queens.

This begins a series of trials, guided by a Magic Mouth spell. The first trial has them identify the queen's races. Another has them battle a mechanical shark. A third has them perform a catwalk performance.

This leads them to a shrine where the driftwood poodle sculpture of the old Yacht Club is entombed. After touching it, they are returned to the beach party. Humphrey returns and activates the sculpture, summoning a Sand Golem who attacks the beach goers. After a fierce battle, help comes to the queens.

From out at the sea, the waves rise into columns that take on familiar forms of hundreds of surfing drag queens. They lead the party into a song, which overwhelms the sand creature. It decides to ignore its purpose of scaring people off, and joins in the revelry.

A surveyor from the local Historical Society arrives, marking the beach a historical landmark. As the party turns to celebration, the bugbear emcee brings a pail of treasure to hire them for a monthly gig.

## Behind the Queens

* In the intro to the episode, DM Matt explains this episode is outside of the canon, but if folks really wanted to place it, it could take place before the queens left for Fire Island. This would place it between the last two episodes of Season Zero: The Frozen Feast and The Final Voyage of the Salty Starfish. However, this only works if the ending narration of Frozen Feast, where the queens spent the two days between episodes at the Crystal Palace is ignored. So if you want it to be canon, or if you don't, you're covered.
* This episode takes inspiration from the Surf Movies of the 1960s.
* Harlotte references her mage hand being called Jessica Tandy, which comes from a podcast episode not yet released when this live show was recorded, nor when the episode was released.
* The Magic Mouth's gossip was originally planned for the Tea Room in the Halloween Show: "The Mystery of LaBouche Gardens". However, Harlotte stole the item that was going to be the prize for the challenge before the gossip could be given.
* The swimsuit Arson wore was given to her by Londyn Bradshaw.
