Show Notes

Before they were the Refundables, they were just some idiots in detention.

It's Year 1 at Scrimore Academy, and Clyde, Ultrex, and Merlin have managed to land themselves in hot water with the one professor they absolutely cannot afford to cross, Professor Harwick, the no-nonsense PE teacher who controls the roster for the upcoming Scrimore Wrestling Tournament.

Simple.

After surviving a brutal glass scorpion ambush in the desert, the party limps toward the deceptively cheerful Busy Town of Richard Derry. What awaits them is a hyper-labeled genie metropolis, an overly chipper guard rotation, a looming festival, and Ulrich’s deeply inconvenient family history. Nothing suspicious here. Probably.
