We travel back in time 30 years, as Bandybrad Gurrow and Linley Bever try to break into the tower of Mun the Mighty. This was our test recording, in which we tested the recording equipment and tried to figure out how to create a podcast episode. It was recorded before the main podcast story began, but you will still encounter some familiar characters.

Find out what happens to Bandybrad Gurrow and Linley Bever, as they rise through the floors of Mun's tower, and encounter some unexpected problems. Will they make it out with valuable treasure? More importantly, will they make it out alive?

Will Mun turn the adventurers into frogs? Will he challenge them to a magical duel? Or will he send them on yet another long mission that will take weeks and send them to some remote location? 

Probably frogs.
