"In from Under-Realm": Eager to claim a living spell gifted to Dr. Diggers' old teacher, Gneiss, by the dragon elder Exthilion, duplicitous dragon Ky'rha enlists the aid of troll mage Da'an Bakslyyde (bully, coward, cad and thief). To achieve his chicanery, Da'an calls forth extra-dimensional beings whom no one but he will be able to sense or control. But the summons goes wrong, and now even HE doesn't know where the undetectable trio might be!

Vampire Queen Natasha is holding a competition for a new consort, since previous one recently left due to "irreconcilable differences" (which were all her fault, not that she'd ever admit it). She has narrowed the field to the very best of the bloodsuckers, so it's down to the final round -- but wait! We have a late entry! A certain Southern singin' sorcerer has infiltrated the Realm of the Undead! But is Speilvis's sweet silk magic a match for the ultimates of the undead?

In Jag's Lair, Luan is feeling depressed about her chances with Gar, so Carla has summoned Ayane to put some fight back in their friend. Unfortunately, a drastic error on the part of Dungeon Master Dee'em means Ayane's arrived right in time to help battle an incursion of Umbral forces led by A'Monn'Ra, the Ever-Living!

Gina's students Kylie and Elroy, Ooshoosh warriors Mikra and Nadesko, and Ooshoosh scribe/scientist Portia are set to explore the ruins where, years ago, Gina and Britanny first encountered the musical magic-user Spellvis. Just their luck, Spellivis has returned, this time with the vampire queen Natasha. And when the diabolical duo dredge up power from the "end game" of all creation, will any of them survive?

Featuring HALLOWEEN HOT DATE, THE GREAHHHHT PUHHHHMPKINNNN! and Pinky & Cheetah in THE GREEN PUMPKIN, all by Perry.
