About this episode

Scullen joins our adventurers, trapped in the Founder’s Museum facing off against giant statues. They must save themselves before they can save the city and the world!

Lessons include: Being trapped doesn’t count as safety; when facing a lot of resistance, it’s time to take a step back and see the bigger picture.
