Episode 23 - The Time Lost

The heroes are in a forest, resting, as Presto gives Eric a hair cut. Suddenly, a blue dragon swoops down from the sky and attacks.

Oh no. A US fighter jet attacks the dragon and chases it off. It's going to be one of those episodes, huh. 

Venger, on his flying steed, chases the fighter jet. Venger is keeping up with the jet even though it is traveling at "Mach 1."

Dungeon Master gives the group a couple of cryptic, useless lines.

The pilot is captured and imprisoned in a ziggurat with a massive crystal globe on top of it.

In the prison cell are other humans who are from other times:

• A samurai.
• A civil war soldier (north).
• An astronaut.
• A viking.

Outside, Venger goes into explainer mode. The ball on the top of the ziggurat is the "crystal of chronos." It is the thing that is opening portals to various time periods on Earth. Venger is waiting for... a nazi to come through. A NAZI.

We cut to world war 2. A plane has been hit and passes through the portal.

The plane lands near the heroes. Oh my god it's a German. His name is Josef Muller.

I googled him. He's a real life dude:

"He was a member of the resistance during World War II and afterwards one of the founders of the Christian Social Union (CSU). He was a devout Catholic and a leading figure in the Catholic resistance to Hitler."

Phewww. Together, they head toward the portal.

Josef quietly throws his armband in the river. It has a "plus" on it rather than a swastika. The heroes see this happen, and have questions.

Josef explains he doesn't want to be part of the war. The group immediately accepts this and invites him to come live in their time.

Venger shows up and starts blowing things up. He abducts Josef and flies away.

Hank does some ridiculous stuff with his bow, blowing up a waterfall to put out a forest fire.

Here's Dungeon Master. He explains that Venger is hoping to change Earth's past, so that the heroes don't exist.

Venger tells Josef he could take the modern US fighter jet and bring it back to World War 2, to help the nazis win.

The heroes just walk right up and Venger tells them his plan. The portal opens, Josef takes flight.

Josef flies his plane up, but instead of going back to World War 2, he blows up the crystal of chronos, which sends all of the "Time Lost" NPCs home.

Venger is caught in an explosion and turns into smog or something.

What a ridiculous episode.

Stuff that Presto's Hat Does:

53. Summons a picnic blanket, glasses, wine, and food.
54. Conjures a small fire extinguisher to fight a forest fire with.
55. Catches one of Venger's blasts in his hat.

Eric's Life is Horrible Because:

21. He falls off a rock and Bobby makes fun of him for it.

Hank's Bow Can:

69. Collide with one of Venger's blasts, causing a fireworks display.
70. Shoots one arrow that blows up a waterfall, causing a massive flood that puts out a waterfall.
