Soup Du Jour
Summary
The cast of Rude Tales of Magic plays a D&D-style game where students Scooter, Mikey, Francine, and Riley investigate a locked walk-in freezer guarded by Illumines. They rescue Alian, a ghostly mentor, who reveals lore about Watchwords, seeds, and the villain Yorgos. Alian uses his last seed to morph into a human disguise to hide in the library, while the group warns the lunch lady Linda against her cannibalistic tendencies.
