**Seattle in Chicago** is the twenty ninth bonus episode of Queens of Adventure. It is a recording of a live show hosted at Mary's Attic in Chicago, featuring the core cast of the podcast where they attended the Fall Faerie Festival.

## Summary

*This episode was subsequently rereleased as Legends episodes Twenty-Three and Twenty-Four. The full summary has been moved to those pages. This page remains to archive the early access bonus episode.*

At the Fall Faerie Festival, the drag adventuring party Bootie and the Hofish perform, and are then tasked by Queen Titania to undertake a quest to fetch the last of the Pumpkin Spice from the Dark Woods. Succeed and they get a wish, fail and they are turned to stone.

The party enters the woods and meet a pair of sprites who give them some directions to a clearing with some treasure chests. Fraya Love breaks the lock on one to find a map, and Butylene O'Kipple and Arson Nicki retrieve two keys from some animals, including a dog they befriend.

Following the map they find a clearing with fae cats crossing a catwalk. The queens strut their stuff and earn the cats approval.

Further along, they meet a trio of hags at a cliff wall. After participating in a game of reading each other, the queens are shown a path through the cliff and Butylene gains magical sight by sampling the hag's brew.

In the cave they disturb a mushroom orgy and must skillfully escape the tunnel before being smooshed by a boulder sized mushroom.

   After escaping they are waylaid by magical runes trapping them until they help a satyr and his friends by performing a surprise lipsync.

Freed again, they finally arrive at the pumpkin patch only to be attacked by a massive scarecrow and his wig made of live crows. The queens and Rufus the dog manage to best the guardian of the patch in combat and preceed on to the platform where Dumpy the Pumpkin awaits.

In order to get in the mood to make the spice again, Dumpy requests the queens perform for him. After one last lipsync, the spice begins to flow. Queen Titania and all their new fae friends arrive to congratulate them on their success. Granting their wishes, Titania turns the newly falling snow into a banquet for Arson, a wyvern for Fraya, and the seeming defeat of a political enemy for Butylene.

## Behind the Queens

* This live show was funded thanks to the second Kickstarter campaign, which brought the queens to Chicago to record a variety of special episodes.
* This is the second of four appearances of the Fall Faerie Festival, in terms of recording. It was preceded by the Chicago Cast, and was succeeded by the Minneapolis Cast and Extra Life casts.
* While Fraya Love previously performed in the DragCon 2018 adventure, this is the first time the entire Seattle core cast has performed outside of Seattle.
* Arson Nicki has stated repeatedly that this is their favorite live show to date.
* Fraya says that Rufus the dog looks just like her dog Odin. She also finally achieves her dream of getting a wyvern via her wish at the end of the show, which Titania names Odin.
* Titania must have liked Butylene's wish the best as the first half of it came true about four months after this show.
