    57. The Goblin Gang, The Goblin Gang!

    57. The Goblin Gang, The Goblin Gang!

    Once again Josh and Jesse dust off that poorly kept Big Town road sign to tell some true stories about murder mystery parties and weird bachelor parties! This leads to improvised scenes about a strange way to honor a groom, a detective who is obsessed with fair-play mysteries, and a dastardly villain's plot to open an escape room! Then, in the BIG Scene, Josh and Jesse improvise the fantasy story of Eric the peasant who must travel to an ancient castle to rescue his beloved from the Black Knight and the Dark Lord he serves. Don't worry, all the worldbuilding is consistent and it makes sense.



    Also Abner and Wobner make an appearance. Twice.
