Dec 08 2019 63 mins

With the Tour Golem on lockdown and the mysteries piling up, the museum staff splits the party (oh, you fools) to seek answers before the other, heavily implied, world-ending boot drops.

10. The Lesson Plan (aka The Tome)

Aug 28 2019 52 mins

It has come to the attention of the management of the Rivercliffe Museum of Mostly Natural Histories that MOST of the staff knows absolutely NOTHING about basic world history. You can see the problem, surely. As such, we hope you will join the curator, Marwood, for a comprehensive and 100% mandatory refresher on everything important that has ever happened, magical or otherwise, si

9. Fired Up (aka The Afterburner)

Jun 09 2019 67 mins

Rivercliffe has been hit by a sub-zero cold snap, but you'd hardly notice in the museum. Staff tempers are flaring up and arguments are growing so heated that it's no wonder when Nick actually takes Abraxas's bait and agrees to fix the furnace. All he has to do is navigate the labyrinth of sub-basements...and figure out exactly why their mysterious furnace is on the fritz in the f

Apr 24 2019 72 mins

After a series of divisive escapades, the staff of the Rivercliffe Museum of Mostly Natural Histories has (finally) gathered together to (mostly) unite towards a common goal: pass the city's annual thaumatic inspection!

Mar 28 2019 70 mins

Curator. Director. Manager. Marwood is an elf who takes his overlapping jobs very seriously—so seriously, in fact, that he rarely leaves his precious museum. He'd be content to stay forever, but an emergency back home might finally force him to leave its marble-columned embrace and face his family tree... or, more accurately, his family of trees.

Goblin Special: Take This Gob and Shove It

Nov 28 2018 39 mins

It's a big day for the Rivercliffe Office of Unemployment! The dedicated Job Placement Sean and his assistant Sam have grown quite adept at helping Rivercliffe citizens land their dream gigs, but the enormous line of eager, resume-waggling goblins outside their front door presents a new, terrifying challenge for which no amount of mediocre coffee can prepare them. (Better brew an e

6. It’s a Hard Nick Life (aka The Night Janitor)

Oct 30 2018 72 mins

Nick's got problems, man. He's already cursed to be the museum janitor for the next several hundred years. A sudden stumble into a second, anatomically oriented curse means he might be up all night, figuratively and literally. Oh, and something unseen may or may not be stalking him through the museum's dark halls... and does anyone else hear a drill? Episode 6 of DARK AGES

5. D-Day (aka The War Memorial)

Sep 28 2018 75 mins

Abraxas, the museum's cantankerous security agent, is so lost in his own war stories that he has a hard time knowing which era he's in. Good thing his least favorite holiday has arrived to yank him back to the present, right? He is several years late for an important appointment, after all... possibly that last one he'll ever make. Episode 5 of DARK AGES features... * Eli Banks
