Episode 26 - Cave of the Faerie Dragons

The heroes are swimming in a lake at the base of a waterfall. Here's Dungeon Master. "Greetings pupils," he says.

His riddle includes this phrase: "A giant sacrifice may be required to save a tiny friend."

Giant ants burst out from the ground and attack the group. They run. A mysterious creature saves them by leading them to a cave behind the waterfall. In it is the creature who helped them - a faerie dragon.

I always get faerie dragons and pseudodragons mixed up.

The dragon's name is Amber. She likes Presto, and climbs in his hat while he's wearing it.

Passing through a tunnel in the back of the cave, they encounter another tiny dragon. Apparently the queen of the faerie dragons has been captured. The adventurers decide to help.

The people who abducted the queen is demanding the treasure of the dragons. She shows the group the castle where the queen is being held.

Most of the group heads down into the dungeon under the keep. Eric and Uni stay on the ground level.

They find the cell where the queen is being kept. Magic doesn't work in this cell. The bad guy, a human named King Verin, locks the group in. Despite the fact that the group was split up, everyone is somehow in the cell (except Amber, who slips out).

The Queen explains that the faerie dragons lived in the Forest of Mists, but a volcano erupted and destroyed it. They want to relocate to another forest, but for now they are living in a cave.

Amber flies to the caves to get help.

Presto evades the anti-magic shell by holding his hat through the bars in the cell door, using his magic hat to summon termites, who eat and destroy the wooden door.

The queen casts sleep on two guards to help the heroes escape the keep.

Back in the caves, the queen shows the group the treasure horde of the faerie dragons. She offers the group treasure, but they decline.

Amber helps Presto use his hat to make a rock float like it was a balloon.

The humans invade the cave. Here's a new one: Hank fires an arrow that summons a wall of glass, which the humans immediately shatter.

The group flees.. right into the treasure room. Wow guys, what a choice.

In a mirror, a portal to Earth appears. It turns out that the mirror is a magic item. "The mirror reflects what you desire most."

Hank causes the mirror to show the forest that the faerie dragons want to go to.  The dragons fly through, and the heroes dump the treasure through as well.

The humans force their way into the treasure room. Eric breaks the mirror, so that the humans can't follow.

Taken before the king, the adventurers refuse to say where the forest is. Presto uses his hat to cause the humans to float. I guess this is like reverse gravity.

The heroes walk away, talking about how they will have more chances to go home. Dungeon Master, peeping on them from a distance, says that they are closer than they think. 

Kind of a nothing episode. I'm not sure why, but I don't like the way the faerie dragons were depicted.

Stuff that Presto's Hat Does:

59. Summons magical termites that eat a wooden cell door.
60. Makes a small rock fly.
61. Casts reverse gravity on a band of evil humans..

Hank's Bow Can:

74. Fire arrows which change course in mid-air, and sick into a wall to give Presto a ledge to stand on.
75. Fire an arrow that summons a wall of glass.
