The Zone of Adventure: Imbalance - Episode 1

Synopsis
The episode opens with the Lady Istus examining her tapestry, seeming troubled. We come back to the material plane about 10 years after the Day of Story and Song Merle is chilling on a beach resort. He is very bored with his life right now as Mavis is at college, Mookie is at fantasy military school, and the school Merle started is basically on the rails. Magnus ends a training session at his dog school. He goes home to find everything metal on his property is rusted to dust, most notably the Flaming Poisoning Raging Sword Of Doom.
