Episode 71: Initiative

On a frigid winter day in Outer Svegnia, two strange men come running out of a driving snowstorm toward a remote, ancient castle.  Cyrus Stoat and his mentor, Professor Wallingford Spoon, are after the long-lost helm of one of the ancient heroes of the four Neighbor Kingdoms.  But Cyrus's survival--and, more importantly, his letter grade--depend on thinking fast and talking faster.  Will our hero escape with the treasure?  Will Professor Spoon throw his sharp-tongued student to their enemies in disgust?
