✨ In This Episode…When Alex’s Bag of Holding catastrophically fails due to the Pest Witherbloom Mascot, the party is left to pick up the pieces—quite literally. In the center of the magical shrapnel lies Chunkle, Grunkle’s loyal canine companion, who bore the full brunt of the explosion’s fury.

Grief quickly curdles into a terrifying, singular focus. Enraged by the loss of his best friend and the carelessness that caused it, Grunkle sets his sights on Alex. What began as a simple journey looking for mascots has devolved into a hunt for vengeance, leaving the rest of the party to wonder: can a fellowship survive when one of its own is out for blood?
