What Happened In last Seasons Of HarmonQuest?
Earthscan was the hometown of the two popular characters Fondue Zoobag (Dan Harmon), a half-orc ranger, and Boneweevil (Jeff Davis), a goblin rogue. Beor O’Shift, a barbarian woman, came running to the village and asked for help to fight off the cultists. Northern, the mysterious knight killed Teflon and fled through a portal.
When the party was taken to the prison, they met Hawaiian Coffee (Aubrey Plaza) who was a gnome alchemist. He helped them to escape. At the end of HarmonQuest Season 1, they tried to seal the portal with the Manticore and succeeded but Boneweevil, the blue dragon, and Fondue’s dad got trapped inside.
In HarmonQuest Season 2, Fondue and Beor tried to free their friends from the demon realm and ended up trapped with them inside. Fondue found his lost magical bastard sword in the half-buried hilt. People named them the saviors of the realm from the Great Manticore.
Celty besieged the party but they were saved by Charles and Sandy (Robb Corddry). The boundary between the material plane and the demon realm was collapsing very fast. Celty, before dying by Fondue’s final shot, revealed that the only partition between the two realms was her obelisk network. Soon, the outside world became a hellscape.
In HarmonQuest Season 3, the two realms were seen clustered together. Beor, Boneweevil with Fondue’s soul trapped in a sword were trying to find their way back. They made their way to the Barbarian village and found the Beast of Beginning.
Meanwhile, the party found themselves in the plane of Imperium Judgements and faced trial there. Then they escaped from there and ended up in the astral plane. They fought an old enemy with the help of an angelic guardian over the fate of the realm.
