Kinoko Origins - Ep 19: Final Exam
**This episode was recorded before 3/1/2021. The game system used in this episode is no longer being played on current recordings of the podcast.**
Hello everyone, settle in, settle in! Well, it always feels bittersweet to reach the end of a semester, but today is our last meeting of this lecture series on The Keepers. I hope you have been filling out your study guides. We last left Virgil and Jacques in the dark and dreary depths of the Chaga Mines following their battle against the Malamar known as the Cunning Serpent. Having rescued all but one of the missing people of Amanita Town, Team Catapult convinced Pandora to allow them to search the remainder of the mine for the last abducted resident.
But a sinister power still lurks in the shadows of the cave, a dark passenger carried by the unaware Jacques. Can Virgil guide his beloved companion back to the surface? Will our young initiates find what they’re searching for to complete their mission? And what will be revealed if our heroes once again find themselves in the light of day? Let’s find out in our tale’s conclusion… Final Exam.

Hello class, please take a seat! I hope you’ve been studying because our final is rapidly approaching. We are getting ever closer to the end of this lecture series on the Keepers, and the events we cover today will definitely be on the test. We last left Virgil and Jacques in the Chaga Mine with Pandora, searching for the missing villagers in what they believe to be the home of the Gliscor and Drapion.
As our heroes descended into the mine, they came across a horde of Gligar along with other evidence of the predators’ habitation. But as Team Catapult investigates this supposedly abandoned butte, a dark presence beckons to them from deeper within. What lurks in the shadows of the Chaga Mine? What horrors must our young heroes face next? And will Virgil find the key he’s searching for? Let’s find out in our latest installment… Cunning Serpent!

Kinoko Origins - Ep 17: A Bewitching Butte
**This episode was recorded before 3/1/2021. The game system used in this episode is no longer being played on current recordings of the podcast.**
Alright class, settle down and make your way to your seats. Today we are continuing our lecture series on the Keepers - we are nearing the end of this semester, and we’ve still got some big events to cover. After leaving the Artisan’s Alley with an array of new clothes and accessories for their Pokémon, Virgil, Jacques, and Pandora are now preparing to find and investigate the home of the Gliscor and Drapion.
Hoping to get an answer as to what amplified the violent nature of these dreadful beasts, Team Catapult and chaperone have decided to investigate the rock formation near the destroyed merchant’s cart and the mysterious butte that was revealed through Jacques’ visions. How have these creatures affected the rest of the desert residents? What unexpected encounters may happen as our heroes conduct their investigation? And how scary could a monster lair really be? Let’s find out in our latest installment… A Bewitching Butte!

Kinoko Origins - Ep 16: Artisan's Alley
**This episode was recorded before 3/1/2021. The game system used in this episode is no longer being played on current recordings of the podcast.**
Hello everyone, settle in please. We are continuing our lecture series on the Keepers today, following Team Catapult’s dealings the morning after the Showdown at Low Noon. Late in the night, Jacques found himself in his strange dream realm once more, his focus being pulled toward a large formation in the Deathcap Desert - a butte with an odd glow about it. With questions lingering about the origin of the predatory Pokémon, our heroes are set to investigate this mysterious locale.
But before that, our young Initiates have decided that it would be best to investigate the local market first, because merchants usually know things. And so we find Virgil and Jacques on the hunt for information, and perhaps trying to procure goods and services along the way. What is this place like in the daytime when there aren’t beasts lurking on the outskirts of town? What clues can Team Catapult pick up from the townsfolk? Is this really just a shopping episode in disguise? Let’s find out in our latest installment… Artisan’s Alley!

Kinoko Origins - Ep 15: Real Eyes Realize Real Lies
**This episode was recorded before 3/1/2021. The game system used in this episode is no longer being played on current recordings of the podcast.**
Hello class, please take your seats. Today we are resuming our lecture series on the Keepers after the big, climactic events that we discussed last week. We last left Virgil and Jacques in the direct aftermath of their showdown against the Gliscor and Drapion in the middle of Amanita Town. Through careful planning, clever execution, and some timely improvisation, they managed to capture both of the awful beasts.
However, the battle has taken its toll, and we find our young initiates battered, bruised, and exhausted. As Team Catapult goes to bandage their wounds and restore their strength, it seems that the people of this desert town can rest easy once again. But questions still remain… what did these creatures really want? Where did they come from? And what has happened to the people who have gone missing? Let’s find out in our latest installment… Real Eyes Realize Real Lies!

Kinoko Origins - Ep 14: Showdown at Low Noon
**This episode was recorded before 3/1/2021. The game system used in this episode is no longer being played on current recordings of the podcast.**
Alright class, settle in, settle in. We are continuing our lecture series on the Keepers, and today is a big one! We last left Virgil and Jacques making their final preparations for the monsters’ upcoming attack. After getting some key information and just as importantly, a Shard, they settled on a plan to attempt to protect the town and defeat the beasts.
As the most thematically appropriate time of night approaches, the moment for our young Initiates to confront the monsters from the desert is almost here. With Chevalier the Eevee let loose to be a distraction while Virgil and Jacques launch their assault and with Pandora nearby for support, Team Catapult is feeling as ready and confident as they’ll ever be. What are the beasts encroaching upon Amanita Town? What do they really want? And will Team Catapult put an end to their reign of terror tonight? Let’s find out in our latest installment… Showdown at Low Noon!

Customer Reviews
Love their stuff
They have so many fun and entertaining side quests, all different genres and they do a great job with them!
A wild ride
Just started listening to this podcast recently after binging QuestCo Jr., and I absolutely adore all of what I’ve heard so far, including VILLAGERS and BOUND, which I’ve been listening to as they come out.
I’m excited to see where this all leads!
Can’t Stop Listening
I’ve been listening to TQC for a few months now and I think it’s safe to say I’ve been hooked since day one! This group and the characters they play are so amazing. Definitely worth the listen!!
