The Adventure Zone Presents: The Live Boston Stunt Spectacular

Synopsis
''Travis and Teresa had a baby! We're so excited for them, but we're also very excited for YOU! Because you're about to hear a live episode we recorded in Boston this past July that turned out super, super great. Thanks to everyone in attendance, and to all our listeners for sticking with us during Trav's leave of absence!''

In continuity, this episode occurs between The Crystal Kingdom and The Eleventh Hour.

After receiving a letter from Jess the Beheader requesting their aid in both solving a murder and preventing a second murder, the gang (plus Angus) heads down to...

CHAOS STADIUM a.k.a. Fantasy WrestleMania
Chaos Stadium is an old building reconstructed into a fantasy wrestling ring. Huge stands full of hard-core fantasy wrestling fans surround a hexagonal ring, with a catwalk in the shape of a hashtag (#hashtagshape) hanging from above.

Magnus is to be Jess's partner in the ring, Merle is to act as their manager, and Taako is their eyes in the sky (shaking his little tush on the catwalk).

Jess introduces them to the human CEO, Merrick, of this whole operation, who has them sign some contracts. They get new wrestling aliases and outfits from Dante: Taako sneaks into the locker room -- where the weapons are being stored -- and uses Knock to open the locker. He casts Leoman's Secret Chest to create an exquisite chest that can be hidden on the ethereal plane and places all the weapons inside it. Then he takes an elevator up to the catwalk while the others enter the ring.
 * Magnus is THE MOROKŌ (it's Elvish for bear), with his Bear Mask from Petals to the Metal, dressed in a half furry suit with a breast plate. The breast plate has eleven nipples.
 * Merle is PINSTRIPE, dressed in a sleazy pinstripe suit with a lot of chains.
 * Taako is TUFF GREG, a persona that's a little meta, so bear with him. He's dressed exactly like a member of one of the crew of Chaos Stadium, 100%.

Angus, with nothing to do, heads into the stands to eat a giant pretzel.

LET THE MADNESS BEGIN
A microphone lowers from the catwalk and our adventure officially begins! The announcer introduces everyone to the very appreciative crowd. Jess remembers to tell them, "we're heels!"

Jess and Magnus (and Merle) enter to the sound of jeers. Jess is eating it up, tossing paper mache heads into the crowd and calling her soul-bonded axe to her... only to bury it in the entrance ramp. Magnus jogs down the ramp after her, doing some half-hearted rawrs and "kind of doing claw motions."

Merle, not to be outdone, does Fosse hands and grapevines down the ramp.

Taako has cast Arcane Eye above the crowd, but doesn't see anything suspicious. Up on the catwalk, he meets Gerald the catwalk boy who runs the spotlight. Gerald makes trouble and resists being charmed, so Taako casts Gust of Wind, blowing him "safely" toward the crowd. The crowd, having rolled a collective 14 on a dexterity saving throw, manages to catch him. Sort of. Taako a.k.a. Greg runs the spotlight to announce the wrestlers.

Their opponents, by secret fan vote, are: [56:25]
