Guilds & Goblins #3: A Ballerdino Hallow...

Eric O'Keeffe / Starglow Media
About this episode

The Whatventurers (thanks Sam E. for the name suggestions) are back to save their friends from a strange song that seems to be luring them into the mist!

Lessons include: failure can be part of the fun, especially when you’re playing a game with friends; taking time to feel sad can be very healing, and get you ready to feel happy and/or goofy again before you know it.
