Cornball

House Bumblicious

The **Cornball**was an annual competition between the Legendary Drag Houses. Each house would send a team of queens to compete in a variety of challenges.

The only Cornball on record saw three houses competing in the finals: House Aubergine, House Bumblicious, and House Effluvia.

The finals were scheduled to feature five challenges before a final lip synch performance to determine the winner. Unfortunately, interference by House Effluvia caused a change of plans and a shortening of the contest. The known challenges consisted of:

* Reading Challenge: Teams must read each other, and a rival house's team
* Catwalk Challenge: Teams must construct looks quickly and walk a runway.
* Secret Challenge: This year consisted of teams having to perform lipsynchs to surprise songs.

Though the competition is supposed to be friendly, this year of record saw House Effluvia manipulate the secret lip synchs, use shady magic to cause their reads to inflict actual damage, and summon mannequeen monsters to attack House Aubergine.

It took a combined effort of all the other drag houses performing a lip synch ritual together to dispel the shady magic. For their help in the ritual, House Bumblicious were awarded the title Congenial Queens. For not only their performance in the few rounds of the finals, as well as leading the fight against the shade monsters, House Aubergine were declared the winners.
Nexus of Sidhe'Bae

The **Nexus of Sidhe'Bae** is a magical marketplace, accessible via mystical portals. It is not clear if this market is wholly disreputable, but it is a known place for criminals, pirates, and adventures to fence their loot.

The Nexus hosts an Auction House, and a bustling market. Visitors can register items to be put up for auction day of sale, without advance registering. Booty and the Hofish brought a large amount of Trixie LaBouche merchandise for auction on their first visit, which earned them 3000 gold, purchased by Belfry.

The market had many different kinds of stalls. One sells a variety of mystical artifacts, including

* Pipe of smoke monsters.
* Tankard of sobriety.
* Tentacle Rod (made by a drow - has three tentacles that can be used to attack)
* Hat of Vermin.
* Cloak of Many Fashions.
* Wand of Smiles.
* Pipes of the sewers.
* Perfume of bewitching.
* Slippers of Spider Climbing.
* Wand of Illusions

Another stall sold alchemical equipment and supplies, and on her first visit there, Butylene O'Kipple met her alchemist friend, Granny. Still another featured Hot Tubs for sale.

## Behind the Queens

This location has undergone several renames. In the episode recording itself it is known as the Nexus of eBay. To prevent legal issues, when the podcast was launched and this episode was released it was renamed the Nexus of She'bae. In the March 2020 renaming of episodes of the podcast it was once again renamed to the Nexus of Sidhe'Bae, which implies a connection to the fae.
Haus of Geek

**The Haus of Geek** is the name of a group of drag queen adventurers. Little is known of their origins and exploits.

## Members

* Fox E. Kim - high elf cleric
* Jo Mama - half-elf fighter
* Lucy Stoole - hill dwarf wizard

## Herstory

### Fall Faerie Festival

The troop was invited to perform at the Fall Faerie Festival, an annual event where mortals are brought in to go on a quest at the request of Queen Titania. Fox E, Jo, and Lucy participated, traversing various challenges in the dark woods in order to secure the last supply of Pumpkin Spice before Winter. In the end they were successful and were rewarded with one wish each.

## Behind the Queens

The group's name comes from Geekhaus, a Chicago based drag collective, that all of the queens who make up the Chicago cast of Queens of Adventure are a part of.
DJ Cyberpreppy

**DJ Cyberpreppy** is a DJ who worked on Fire Island until his death. He continued to spin music and party as a ghost.

## Herstory

DJ Cyberpreppy was a popular DJ. He was hired to perform at a Full Moon party at the Temple of Boom buffet and nightclub on Fire Island.

During the event, seaspawn rose up, invaded the castle, and killed or dragged the event participants into the sea where they were turned into seaspawn. All of them left behind ghosts, who continued to party. Their spirits were tethered to an altar inside the temple, a Portable Party system.

A couple of weeks after their deaths, a pair of halflings, Adrian and Hattie, arrived. The ghosts tried to force them to stay and party until the adventuring party Booty and the Hofish arrived to rescue them. Upon realizing the ghosts were trapped until they could host the massive full moon party they had been prevented from finishing, they approached Cyberpreppy with a plan. With the help of Arson Nicki's own DJ skills, Cyberpreppy agreed to allow the queens and their allies to take the party with them to the Golden Palace.

On the way, they encountered an artist who had built a ghost light and a massive seaspawn battle, and wished to stay away from both. At the casino, Sister Baccarat determined the ghosts had no ill intentions and okayed them to remain around the facility. They were brought to the scenic overlook above the Golden Palace to assist in a ceremony to commemorate what had been lost, and to bolster spirits going forward.

The altar, Cyberpreppy, and the ghosts remained on the overlook for several days before it was moved to Belfry Ramshackle's office so DJ Cyberpreppy could assist the party remotely via the Hole of Glory when they traveled to the Underdark. He was instrumental in identifying an ancient drow anthem and playing the song for Arson Nicki through the Hole of Glory to help her break herself and some ancient drow free of the control of Lolth. When not helping the queens, Cyberpreppy played Baby Shark, a song requested by Belfry's daughter Jo.

The next day, Cyberpreppy and the Woo Ghosts were relocated to the basement vault, as Booty and the Hofish hoped to protect the Kracken Priest's Heart inside the altar, inside the vault. Jo found them there and had him continue to play Baby Shark. This set up the ritual needed to ordain a new Kracken Priest. Before anyone could be ordained, the ritual was interrupted by the queens who used to the ghost light to disburse the ghosts and reach Jo, her friend Chaz, and the altar.

The fate of the ghosts after the ghost light was used on them is not known.

## Behind the Queens

* DJ Cyberpreppy was named by listener DJ Cyberpreppy.
Glamazon Glider

> "*This shimmering cloak is imbued with precious glamabird oils and magically compliments any ensemble.*"
> ― Item Card
>
>

The **Glamazon Glider** is an item for Dungeons and Dragons created for Queens of Adventure. It has been used extensively within the campaign as it is used by the Glamazons of Glamalala.

## Item Description

As a bonus action, players can snap open the glider and ride thermal jets of air. It slows falling and prevents damage from falling. It uses oil from glamabirds to enfuse it with its magical properties.

## Herstory

The glider is a tool used by citizens of Glamalala in order to navigate the Glama Archipelago. As the volcanic island is dotted with thermal vents, Glamazons use the glider to catch the thermal high into the air and then slowly glide around the island to their destination.

Glamazon rangers use these to perform their duties. Ranger Richard used one to deliver shipwreck survivor Harlotte O'Scara to the Golden Palace.

Guards of the Ziggurat on the central island are also equipped with them. They used them to transport themselves, and trespassing Booty and the Hofish, to Glamalala to stand trial.

The Glamazon delegation, including Inquirer Rigo, arrived via gliders at the Observatory for the Mutual Defense summit a few days later.

As a result of the summit, the same Booty and the Hofish party were invited back to Glamalala for special training alongside Irene Dubois. The three day course included Glider training, held in three parts in the Glamadrone. The first part consisted of a long training illusion, followed by two days of practical training. In the end, all four participants, Irene, Arson Nicki, Butylene O'Kipple, and Fraya Love, were given gliders. As Arson had recently been mutated into a drider, she was provided with an extra large one. The queens used them to return to the Golden Palace.

Two days later, Arson, Butylene, and Fraya used the gliders to travel to the central lagoon on a mission to recruit the merfolk. At the end of that mission, while the Golden Palace was in the midst of chaos involving the Portable Party altar, Glamazons including Rigo arrived at the resort via Glider to investigate.

### Alternate Continuity

When the interdimensional being known as the Producer summoned versions of Arson, Butyene, Fraya, and Irene to the World of Wonder to be tested for legendary potential, the queens found themselves on a platform floating high above the ground. Though all of their other equipment was removed, they did have their glamazon gliders on them and used them to (mostly) arrive safely on the ground to start their test.

## Behind the Queens

This item is the third created by Tavern of Trinkets in partnership with the show and the first to predate the introduction of custom items from the podcast.

It is unknown if the gliders are created by the Glamweave Forge in Glamalala, although it is likely.
Cotton Candy Monster

The **Cotton Candy Monster** was a creature that existed in LaBouche Gardens, designed as a deterrent to treasure seekers.

## Herstory

After the LaBouche Gardens amusement park began to deteriorate following an attack by the Raiders of the Dry Fist, caretaker Amber Shafthold decided to seek the rumored treasure in the park. She set up various devices to deter other treasure seekers or to keep away the raiders. Including in these was a cotton candy blob that would emerge from a concessions stand to attack those who remained in the park at night.

A group of Drag Adventurers, who had decided to seek the treasure, encountered one of these creatures. Working together, and ultimately by dousing it with water, they were able to defeat it after suffering minimal damage.

## Behind the Queens

The creature is homebrew, designed to fit the amusement park setting. It works mechanically like an Ooze, but it is unknown if in universe these are related at all. At least some Oozes were created by mutagen; it is unknown how the cotton candy monster was created.
Blightwigs

**Blightwigs** are a form of dark magic, possibly tied to shady magic and the spreading Taint. They are wigs brought to life by magic, and capable of movement and attacking.

Blightwigs are created when four or more tumbleweaves combine together. In turn, a blightwig can attach onto a mannequin and infuse it with life, turning it into a mannequeen. While attached, the blighwig and the mannequeen are separate entities and can attack individually. In this form, blightwigs can produce new tumbleweaves. When many blightwigs and mannequeens are pulled together, they can form a Lashes or Mega Lashes, massive drag golems.

These creatures were seen frequently around the House of Wunderbred, during the adventuring party Booty and the Hofish's performance for Lady Edith Wunderbred. In the past, Lady Edith and her sister Brioche were able to create a Mega-Lashes without using dark magic. It is unclear if blightwigs can be formed without dark magic as well, or what they would be called.
Raiders of the Dry Fist

The **Raiders of the Dry Fist** are a rough looking group of bandits. Their attire features black leather and a red close fist emblem on the back.

Scavengers, they ransacked LaBouche Gardens Amusement Park seeking the lost treasure of Lady LaBouche. The park's resident magician and care taker, Amber Shafthold, created fake ghosts to scare the bandits away from the park, but the bandits spread rumors of the park's haunting resulting in a loss of visitors and the further ruin of the Gardens.

Months later, a group of drag adventures stumbled upon the raiders as they attacked the Tavern of the Hung Man, and its innkeeper Rickus. The bandits made their prejudices known as they called most of the party (a tiefling, a genasi, and a drow) 'animals', and said their human member was the worst of them for associating with them. The queens made colorful and short work of the bandits, dispatching them with style and no mercy.

It is unknown if other members of this group remain active, or if all of them were defeated.

## Behind the Queens

It is unknown if there is a connection between this group and a small band of would-be-thieves who attacked Booty and the Hofish outside the Nexus of She'Bae a short time after the group's encounter with the Raiders, or with the town of Elbowdeep, in the Valley of the Fist, once home to the Army of the Fist.

Apollonia Dumont

**Apollonia Dumont** was a passenger on the SS Salty Starfish, on its way to Fire Island.

While on board, she enjoyed a performance by Booty and the Hofish. Afterwards, she talked with the queens when an explosion rocked the ship and darkness was cast over it. When the lights came back, her bejeweled neckbrace, while the queens's scepter was also stolen.

As the queens investigate the thefts, they interview her, and realize she is faking her injury. It is part of a con she is trying to pull on another passenger, Father Andson, who is a member of a thieve's guild. Her family is in debt to the guild, she thought to fool him with the jeweled neckbrace. Instead she faked it was stolen when she heard the scepter being stolen.

With that plot thread left unfinished and dangling, the ship was attacked by a Kracken and sank. Eleven days later, Booty and the Hofish were defending the beach near the Golden Palace on Fire Island from an attack of seaspawn, creatures that had attacked the Salty Starfish shortly after the crashing sound and theft. One of the seaspawn was seen wearing a bejeweled neckbrace, revealing that Apollonia was one of those who drowned in the shipwreck and was turned into one of the undead creatures, her plotline remaining unresolved.

It is not known what seaspawn features she received, nor if she survived in any of the battles.
Izzet Steamworks

The **Izzet Steamworks** is a nightclub located in the city of Ravnica. It was once a foundry belonging to the Izzet League, and is located in an industrial part of town, but was converted to a club in the possession of the Cult of Rakdos.

The space is situated mostly underground, across two floors. The upper level features a dance floor and a bar, and has a large hole in the center through which the lower level can be seen. That lower level features a large stage for performances by Cult members, including pain and noise musicians. Magma vents can be seen through windows throughout the lower level. Cages, suspended on chains from the top of the upper level, hang over the lower level through the hole between floors, and contain dancers.

During a period of time when Cult of Rakdos facilities were being shut down on orders from the Azorius Senate, the Steamworks were briefly the last remaining club in operation until another raid busted up a show mid-performance. The performers fought back, killing several of arrestors, as well as knocking a hole in the lower level wall to allow escape into the sewers.
Ice Scepter

The **Ice Scepter** is an artifact from the Age of Queens and is the key to unlocking the vault of Dame Celia Molestranger on Fire Island.

As the Taint threatened to end the Age of Queens, members of many of the noble houses left to found a new kingdom on Fire Island. One of these queens was Dame Celia of House Molestranger. When she died, she left behind a treasure, in the hopes that someday new queens would arise who would carry on the great works of her time. The key to the vault was the Ice Scepter which was entrusted to the Air Genasi of the Crystal Palace on the mainland. They were charged with locating worthy individuals to entrust the scepter to. Over time, this duty was performed via hosting the Search for the Tops talent competition annually. Winners are awarded the staff and left to see if they could figure out how to unlock the treasure, thus proving their worthiness. Should they fail, the scepter would be returned to the Crystal Palace in time for the next year's competition.

In the most recent competition, the Ice Princess deemed the band of adventuring queens known as Booty and the Hofish as the winners, despite the protests and attempted snatching of the scepter by Moxy, lead singer of the rock band Crotch. Following the competition, Gnomi Malone, ally and researcher of the great houses for Booty and the Hofish, determined that the scepter included coordinates, written in ancient runes, that led to Fire Island.

The queens carried the scepter with them on the SS Salty Starfish, a cruise ship heading for the island. During the voyage, a thief stole several belongings, including the scepter. The queens and an amateur detective ally sought out the thief, but by the time they confronted him, time was up. A powerful Kracken attacked the ship, sinking it. The four queens found themselves washed ashore on Fire Island without their belongings, including the scepter. Several day later, they found themselves prisoners in the undersea caves of the Kracken Priest, and located the missing possessions, but not the scepter. Its current whereabouts remain unknown.
Ranger Richard

**Ranger Richard** is a resident of Glamala, and a protector of the Glama birds.

### History

On a mission to return a Glama bird to its nest, he was injured retrieving it from a giant weasel. He then encountered a shipwrecked queen, Harlotte O'Scara. Due to his injury, and despite the laws against tourists interacting with Glama birds, he asked Harlotte to put the egg back in its nest. In exchange, he used his glider to take her down to the Golden Palace.

His infraction led to him being sentenced to rebeautification training. After completing it, he encountered friends of Harlotte O'Scara when they were welcomed to Galamalala as part of a mutual defense agreement. He approached their chaperone, Irene Dubois, and threatened to expose their presence at an illegal night club in order to have the tourists expelled. Irene stood by her new friends and threatened to reveal Richard was also breaking the law by being at the club. He left, saying this was not over.

The next night at the Founder's Festival he approached the group and Inquisitor Rigo Caylis and began to insinuate the group's law breaking while Irene was occupied in an event. Richard would not go as far as to actually state their crime, and a confused Rigo insisted the Ranger come by his office the next day to make a formal complaint.

Before Richard could go to the office the next day, he and his squad were sent out to investigate a disturbance at the Central Island and the Ziggurat. En route, they encountered the newly graduated from Glamazon training Queens, who asked to join them. Richard had doubts, but his superior invited them along. Those doubts were assuaged when he saw the Queens defend the Ziggurat ably. When he arrived later at Rigo's office, the Queens were there and he chose to praise them and accept that they weren't a menace after all.

### Personality

In his encounter with Harlotte O'Scara, Richard was shown to be a dedicated ranger, and expertly aware of the rules of his people. He was not afraid to bend them, though, to complete his mission to care for the Glama birds. He also expressed admiration for Harlotte's many qualities.

After his rebeautification, he still showed a willingness to circumvent laws, by going to the nightclub. However, his attitude towards H.O.G.s was shown to be much less open. Whether this was always a part of his personality, or a result of his experience with Harlotte, or with the rebeautification, is unclear.

#### Looks

\*Shimmering purple armor with gold bracers, trimmed with the colors of jungle flowers, tall boots the red color of the soil. A utility belt lies around his waist and a cloak around his shoulders.

## Behind the Queens

* Ranger Richard was named after Kickstarter Backer Richard Gricious.
A Drag Transformation

**A Drag Transformation** is a special video released on DM Matt's youtube channel. In it, Arson Nicki, Fraya Love, and Londyn Bradshaw put Matt into drag for the first time in his life.

In the 2018 Queens of Adventure live stream which became bonus episode "Enter the Wigsnatch", Matt agreed to let the queens put him into drag if they reached a certain goal in the Extra Life Seattle fundraising. The goal was met. During the August 2019 live stream, "Mr Boogaloo's Dungeon Dash", this promise was brought up again, and the queens booked September 7th, 2019 for the fulfillment.

Over the three hours of the stream, the queens transformed Matt into his drag persona, Agatha Crustie. Along the way they talked about the Kickstarter campaign to bring the queens to Chicago, desire to attend more Drag Cons, their own drag history, and make up tips.

You can watch the stream in the video below.

* Brian, inspiration for Sir Throbardon, was also present in the chat.
Minimum Rage

**Minimum Rage** is a table top rpg game developed by the World Champ Game company. It was used as the basis for the One Shot Podcast's three episode series that featured the cast of Queens of Adventure.

In the game, players play as employees of a business that also defends the world from the supernatural. The game is highly customizable, and during set up players and gamemasters can decide what kind of business they work at, and how to reskin the player classes for the world they are building. For the Queens of Adventure's one-shot, the following was developed:

## Setting

The adventure was set in a city referred to only as "Downtown". Throughout the city, various drag venues have been established in abandoned buildings. All drag performers double as monster fighters.

The central venue of the story is Electric Flames, a drag bar built out of an old bowling alley. Other venues include the Library, and a drag king run liquor distillery based out of an old auto-repair shop. Police are aware of the semi-legality of these establishments but begrudgingly allow them to exist with minimal harassment, because of their demon fighting services. The general public are unaware of the magic in the world.

## Roles

Six player classes exist in the game. They are reskinned as follows.

* Team Leader - Drag House Mother
* Superhero - Beast
* Graphic Novelist - Theater Queen
* Regular Customer - Woo Girl
* Gamer - Lip Synch Assassin
* Zinester - Comedy Queen

Three of these were utilized. Matt Baume used the Beast role to create "Bunny". Butylene O'Kipple based "Bootsy" off of the Theater Queen. Fraya Love created "Whiskey" with the Lip Sync Assassin role.

## Episodes

The adventure ran for three episodes in the One Shot network's podcast feed during February 2020. They were recorded in October 2019 during the Legendary Journey to the midwest.

## Behind the Queens

Minimum Rage is the first game outside of Dungeons and Dragons to be played in connection with the main podcast (although it was not released as part of the podcast). It was the second time the cast had appeared in a different podcast feed, after the original release of the Ravnica episode.

Minimum Rage can be purchased online here: https://worldchampgame.co/store/minimum-rage-zine

**Other**: Downtown - Electric Flames - One Shot Podcast - Interview with James D'Amato
Helm

**Helm** is a deity worshiped within the realm. He represents guardians and protectors. The paladin Agrias Lunnette draws her power from him.

What strength and powers he grants her are not fully known. During her adventure in the Neverglades, she used her powers to free herself from (self-inflicted) rope, and detect magic.

## Behind the Queens

Helm, alongside Lolth, are the only gods to date within Queens of Adventure that come from Dungeons and Dragons directly. He is mentioned only in the Lost Treasure of the Neverglades story, which was retroactively added to Queens of Adventure continuity, and thus his inclusion was unconnected to the lore of Queens of Adventure which has introduced a richer pantheon of gods based off of real world pop culture.
Pox

> "*I must say now that we've gotten closer to the devils I do think that they are hot. Even though they're dead.*"
> ― Pox
>
>

**Pox** is a high elf rogue. After awakening on the banks of the Styx in Avernus, she teamed up with other mortals to find a way to return home.

## Herstory

Pox woke up in the world of Avernus near the familiar face of her friend Dak Rambo, and three strangers: Amon Duul Arson Nicki, and Fox E Kim. Pox instantly was amazed by the two drag queens's looks and showed off her own coat, which retained the many pockets it had in her world, but lacked its magical properties.

A ferryman greeted them and offered to transport them across the river Styx back to the mortal world for the cost of one soul coin each. He advised them to head to the Citadel of Princeps Kovic who was known to have some. Pox and the others journeyed across the hellscape, and narrowly avoided being seen by Kovic as he returned on his large war machine vehicle.

As the party climbed the tower, defeated guards, and snuck around, Pox worked closely with the queens, going into the storeroom with Arson to steal soul coins. As their allies initiated combat against Kovic, she kept a level head and managed to help Arson, attack the devil, and get a soul coin to Dak so he could power up the war machine and the group could escape.

Once they returned, the ferryman suggested with the group's skills they could make formidable hell pirates. Pox handed out the soul coins to allow everyone to make their own decision, but ultimately forced Dak to come back with her. She helped their new ally Aloysius fix his head and apply some make up before they crossed through the portal back to their own worlds.

Crystal Palace

The **Crystal Palace** is located on top of a mountain and the ruling seat for the Ice Princess. At least partially through her powers, the palace is constructed primarily of ice. It hosts the annual Search for the Tops competition, part of the Tip of the Tops festival.

In addition to banquet halls and living quarters (including guest quarters) the palace is designed to also be a venue for performances of all sorts. There is a theater, with lobby on one side of the palace, suitable for the annual talent competition. Nearby there is an ice arena, complete with traps and various kinds of magic, and is often used for fighting demonstrations during festivals.

During a recent Search for the Tops, the lobby was heavily damaged in a battle between performers Booty and the Hofish and the bodyguards for the rock band Crotch, who were trying to prevent the former from competing. Shortly after, the theater itself was attacked by an Abominable Snow Beast, causing much of the space to collapse. Within a day, these areas were all repaired by the Ice Princess's power.

In addition, the palace features an ice sculpture garden and an array of sleighs, and a herd of reindeer are kept on site to pull the sleighs.
Lylið

> "*By the way, at some point I notice four out of the five look very familiar but I wont say which ones.*"
> ― Lylið
>
>

**Lylið** is a goblin member of the Cult of Rakdos in Ravnica, where she performs as a Pain Artist.

## Herstory

It is unknown how Lylið came to be in the Cult of Rakdos. She claims to be on good terms with her mother but hasn't talked to her in years. In addition to being a sex worker, who would tattoo her name on her clients, she was a notable performer in the Cult. Lylið used silks to move around the stage and would pleasure willing volunteers to create music. She has received a lot of plastic surgery thanks to her sugar daddies, including Travis de Orzhov Orzhov, an under the table patron of her shows.

During a time of heavy raids by the Azorius Senate on Cult facilities, Lylið performed one night at the Izzet Steamworks when a knight and four arrestors raided the facility. Lylið and her fellow performers fought back. Lylið made the first attack, killing an arrestor with a flurry of attacks before biting his genitals off.

She would later spit those genitals into the face of the knight's felidar mount before grappling the cat's face. Lylið wanted to try and tame the felidar for herself, but as it was bonded with the knight, the cat resisted. Giving up, she fled the battle into the sewers.

Later, Lylið and their fellow performers were tasked by their superiors in the Cult with digging up information on who was behind the raids. After learning it was a member of the Orzhov Syndicate who was behind them, Lylið met up with Travis and pleaded with him to help them. He revealed the deepest embarrassing secrets of the person responsible. Lylið and her group decided to incorporate them into a show to draw the person out.

## Character Sheet

Lylið is a level six goblin monk, of the path of the drunken master.

### Skills/Abilities

* Fury of the Small
* Flurry of Blows
* Stunning Strike

## Behind the Queens

* Lylið was created and performed by Fraya Love as part of the Podcasts of Ravnica event thrown by Wizards of the Coast.
* She was the first, and to date only, monk introduced in Queens of Adventure.
Kracken Priest's Heart

The **Kracken Priest's Heart** is a magical artifact that can channel the power of the Kracken and command seaspawn. It is unclear if the power of the heart is intrinsic, or a biproduct of the transformation that occurs when a Kracken annoints someone as a Kracken Priest.

During the Siege of the Kracken on Fire Island, a Kracken Priest created seaspawn in mass to attack the islands. A group of prisoners, awaiting possible transformation into seaspawn, surprised and attacked the Kracken Priest. Butylene O'Kipple killed him with a spear which pierced his heart. The spear drew the heart out with it when removed from the priest's body. Butylene noticed quickly that the heart continued to beat and held strange power.

Later, when the escaping prisoners discovered a massive battle underway near the Golden Palace against a frenzy of seaspawn, Butylene found she could command the undead when she held aloft the heart on her spear.

Researchers Patrick and Gnomi Malone spent time trying to research the heart, with Gnomi (partially transformed into a seaspawn before his rescue) showing particular interest, even following the heart with his eyes when it was carried out of a room.

During a summit between the Golden Palace and the Glamazons, the devil Barb claimed he had orchestrated the attack on the Kracken Priest in order to impress his boss's boss, the Pit Fiend Bernadette. Butylene revealed the heart to provide support for Barb's false story and earn the devil's cooperation with the alliance to defeat the Kracken.

What other powers or secrets the heart holds remain to be seen.
Kracken

The **Kracken**, also known as the Filthy Kracken or the Face-Kracken-of-the-Century, is a godlike sea creature of unknown origins.

In the ancient past, it battled with an Archdevil. The struggle led to the creation of Fire Island, according to a myth of the island.

In the present day, the Kracken returned, using its powers to create powerful storms and sink ships. With the help of its servant, the Kracken Priest, it controlled an army of seaspawn to attack the island.

It's only known goal is to gain the treasure buried in the ziggurat at the center of Fire Island. It has declared to the island's inhabitants that it will attack on the next full moon, exactly one month since its first appearance.
Madame Lepus

**Madame Lepus** is a legendary drag queen, associated with House Aubergine.

## Herstory

As a child, she dreamed of being a princess. As a teen, her dance skills impressed her friends. As an early adult, she joined the prestigious House Aubergine, where she helped perform many great works.

Unfortunately, an unknown force, only perceived as a Mysterious Voice, coerced her to join the shady side. She left her house, and settled into the heart of Shady Pines forest.

### Shady Pines

From within a hut in the center of the forest, Madame Lepus worked to prepare some great magical spell of unknown purpose. Four applicants to House Aubergine were sent into the Pines to locate her and bring back her wig on orders of Mama, leader of the house. These four queens were asked by another house member, Melba von Toast, to instead try and bring her back from the shady side.

Throughout the queens trek through the forest, Lepus would send her visage out through the fog that permeated the Pines, and issued devastating reads on the party. Still the group pressed on, eventually reaching the entrance to her house. She fought them in battle, but they produced a snow globe whose sight helped Madame Lepus shake the shady influence and rejoin the drag house

## Behind the Queens

Madame Lepus's voice and presence were inspired by Lady Bunny, an insult comedy queen from New York City, known as the founder of Wigstock.

Elbowdeep

**Elbowdeep** is a town that exists in the realm, in the Valley of the Fist. While it has not been visited by any of the casts, it has connections to several parts of the ongoing story, and is the home town of Cher Noble.

## Kennel Club

During the Age of Queens, the town had a Kennel Club for aristocrats, with an insignia of a red paw print. They would host high society parties. They also hid a kidnapping ring associated with ritual sacrifice. When Lord Dorian's pup was taken, he asked for help from the great drag House Wunderbred. A team of queens were dispatched to infiltrate and rescue the pup. Ultimately they were unable to prevent the pup's sacrifice. What the purpose of the sacrifice was is unknown.

## Army of the Fist

At an unknown point in time, a group known as the Army of the Fist operated out of Elbowdeep under the leadership of Knucklebottom. They built a warforged soldier, who would later operate on her own as a paladin to Cher, and name herself Cher Noble.

## Behind the Queens

Elbowdeep's name was chosen by backer poll on the podcast's Discord. Knuckledeep and Shoulderdeep were other names. It is from this poll that the location of Valley of the Fist comes from.

It is unclear if the Army of the Fist has any connection to the Kennel Club, to the modern day Raiders of the Dry Fist, whose logo includes a Red Fist, or to a group that attacked Booty and the Hofish outside the Nexus of She'Bae, one of whom had a spirit weapon in the form of a fist.
Dame Celia Molestrangler

**Dame Celia Molestrangler** was a Legendary Queen of House Molestrangler, one of the twelve Great Houses in the Age of Queens.

Little is known of Dame Celia's early life, how she came to be a part of House Molestrangler, or how she achieved Legendary status.

At the height of the Age of Queens, a force known as the spreading Taint began to overtake the land and undermine the great works of the Great Houses. Three of the houses, including Molestrangler, fled the mainland for the Glama Archipelago. There, Dame Celia and her fellow Legendary Queens helped to found the city of Glamalala on Fire Island.

Over the rest of her life, Dame Celia would continue to help uplift her people on the island. She and her fellow great queens defended the island from outside invaders trying to get their hands on a treasure they were protecting. She built Stone shrines around the island to grant people aide. If someone left an offering in a small bowl in a statue of her in the shrine, a coin would emerge from its mouth. These tokens made of obsidian are marked 'Kisses darling - DCM'. if someone kisses the coin, rumor is it will provide them a tip.

When drow allies of Glamalala were cursed by their goddess, Lolth, into driders and driven mad, Dame Celia helped locked them away in a sealed ward in their underdark city to keep them from hurting their friends in their madness. She left a warning on the sealed door to deter others from opening it.

After her death, the last of the great queens left on the island, she was buried on the volcanic central island of the archipelago. Her tomb took the form of an obsidian ziggurat, sealed in many ways to prevent the treasure she was buried with from being discovered by those who weren't worthy. The first seal was a curtain of magma that could only be opened with an ice scepter, which was protected by the Ice Princess at the Crystal Palace, who determine potential worthiness via performance competitions. What the treasure is, or what further tests of worthiness are remain unknown to the day, to protect the treasure from being sought by the unworthy.

## Behind the Queens

Dame Celia Molestrangler was named by a financial supporter of Queens of Adventure. The name comes from the British radio comedy Round the Horne. Betty Marsden portrayed Fiona in recurring sketches, where Fiona was supposedly being played by 'Dame Celia Molestrangler'. DMs Matt and James made up their own interpretation of how to pronounce Molestrangler in universe.
Dak Rambo

> "*First time I've had to bail out a lumper in hell.*"
> ― Dak Rambo

**Dak Rambo** is a human ranger, but in another world he was a roguish big rig truck driver. He awoke in Avernus and teamed up with other mortals to find a way to get home.

## Herstory

Dak woke up in the world of Avernus near the familiar face of his friend Pox, and three strangers: Amon Duul, Arson Nicki, and Fox E Kim. He recognized that he was now a ranger, and his beloved big rig truck, Xanadu, had been transformed into a war boar.

A ferryman greeted them and offered to transport them across the river Styx back to the mortal world for the cost of one soul coin each. He advised them to head to the Citadel of Princeps Kovic who was known to have some. Dak and the others journeyed across the hellscape, and narrowly avoided being seen by Kovic as he returned on his large war machine vehicle. Dak instantly was drawn to the machine.

As the party climbed the tower, defeated guards, and snuck around, Dak proved to be easily distractable. He managed only one hit against Kovic before running to climb atop his vehicle and tried to hotwire it. Once Pox provided him a soul coin from the group's collection, he used the war machine to run over the devils and break out of the citadel.

The ferryman suggested with the group's skills they could make formidable hell pirates. Dak considered the idea until Pox insisted he was coming home with him. As they made their way across the river, he gifted Fox E, whom he had tried to educate on his world's technology, an old iPod with a low battery.

## Character Sheet

Dax is a ranger. His favored enemies are fiends.

### Weapons/Equipment

* Dual Flails (red leather with diamond ends)
* A human canine

### Appearance

* Loincloth with battle harness. Prince valiant haircut. Medieval looking tattoos.

## Behind the Queens

Dak is a character from the NeoScum podcast, which uses the Shadowrun rpg. In that game the character is more of a rogue, but player Mike Migdall chose ranger for his class here. This allowed him to transform Dak's big rig truck, Xanadu, into a giant boar animal companion.
Fall Faerie Festival

The **Fall Faerie Festival** is an annual event held by the Seelie Court of the Fey Wildes, to celebrate the end of Fall and the coming of Winter.

One part of the festival involves a group of adventures from the mortal plane being invited to take part in a quest to seek out the last of the pumpkin spice from the heart of a deep forest to last the faeries throughout the winter. Although it seems like the quest is more for the amusement of the fae at the festival than an actual necessity.

Several different Fall Faerie Festivals have been observed as part of the Queens of Adventure universe.

## Chicago Style

One year, a party consisting of Fox E Kim, Jo Mama, and Lucy Stoole went on the quest, after performing in a show hosted by a displacer beast.

## Seattle Style

Another year, three members of Booty and the Hofish, Arson Nicki, Butylene O'Kipple, and Fraya Love, were called upon to perform.

## Minneapolis Style

In yet another time, Kamaree Williams, The Other Jeannie Retelle, and Utica Queen were summoned to undergo the quest.

## Extra Life Style

The other known year, Queen Titania's own team of adventurers, including Agrias Lunnette, Grady Reineke, and Perigrindr Shook, were called upon to take on the quest. They were given a new party member, Deven, to accompany them. The group focused mostly on helping the people they encountered on their journey (and the party continuing to transform their bodies in different ways). After defeating the Scarecrow guarding the Pumpkin Spice in combat, Titania granted their wishes. This resulted in Perigrindr becoming monarch pro tempe of the Seelie court while Titania took a vacation.
Father Andson

**Father Andson** is a priest who was traveling to Fire Island on the SS Salty Starfish, who fell afoul of Booty and the Hofish.

## Herstory

Father Andson was hired to be the new rector for the Watersport bethel. He was on route to Fire Island via the SS Salty Starfish when he took interest in an Ice Scepter possessed by Booty and the Hofish. Following one of their performances, he stole a glass bead from fellow passenger Apollonia Dumont, and used it to cast a spell of darkness. During the momentary blackout, he stole the Ice Scepter from Gnomi Malone and hid the bead inside his snuff box, ending the darkness.

It is likely he also cast a spell that would summon seaspawn as a group of them attacked the ship immediately after the theft. While the queens were off dealing with the attack, he returned to his quarters.

Later, when the queens, and fellow passenger and amateur detective Agatha Crustie, came to question him. He claimed, under a spell of friendship cast by Butylene O'Kipple, that during the blackout he took a hit from his snuff box, a dirty habit. The queen's investigate the box and discover the bead. Harlotte O'Scara notices his pile of religious texts and discovers they are all fakes, hastily created.

After their investigation was complete, the queens make a public accusation of Father Andson for stealing the scepter. He confesses and removes the scepter from his robe before running out onto the main deck.

There, a storm had begun to rage. The Kracken had arrived, and destroyed the ship, casting everyone, including Andson, into the sea.

Weeks later, a summit between Glamazons and HOGs on the island, to discuss the threat of the Kracken, discussed the priest. Patrick, a researcher, knew he was scheduled to be the new rector. After hearing that the shrine in Watersport featured signs of Kracken Worship, Patrick wondered if the Father might have become the Kracken Priest that Booty and the Hofish had killed a few days earlier.

## Behind the Queens

* In the special episode, The Story So Far, Fraya Love made the connection between Father Andson and the Kracken Priest. DM Matt was cagey about answering whether they were the same person. It has still not been proven either way.
* In an example of the queen's choices affecting the game, Father Andson did not necessarily have to be the thief. In at least one play test DM Matt hosted online before the fourth live show, players learned that version of Father Andson was a member of the thieve's guild and was on the ship to investigate Apollonia, and that it was Herman Friday who stole the scepter. This version, should not be considered canon.
