The Dragon's Graveyard
After another attempt at getting home is foiled by Venger, the frustration is too much for the kids. They decide to take the fight to Venger and finish things once and for all. Their idea: Tiamat - Venger's mortal enemy. When they disregard Dungeon Master's next mission to embark on their own, he advises against it and then indicates where they can find Tiamat. A place called the Dragon's Graveyard, where old dragons go to die. The kids then start their journey to the graveyard, but not without the presence of Venger in the midsts.

Prison Without Walls
The kids are sent to a valley where a village of gnomes reside. However, the gnomes are enslaved by Venger to mine the mystic gems out of the walls of the valley. When the kids attempt to free the people, they are informed that the residents cannot be free until Lukion, the gnome spellbinder, lifts the spell upon the valley. The kids then set out for the Swamp of Sorrow to find Lukion, and free the prisoner trapped in a prison without walls.

S01E10
The Garden of Zinn
The kids are starving, and unable to catch any food. Even fishing results in catching a hydra, prompting the kids to defend themselves. But Bobby is poisoned by it's bite and the kids seek Dungeon Master's aid. Alas, they require a natural treatment: The Foot of a Yellow Dragon. One can be found North in the Garden of Queen Zinn. Along the way, they meet a strange creature named Solars, who allows the group to leave the ailing Bobby with him so they don't risk further injury. But the group is in for a surprise when they meet the servant of Queen Zinn and his trickery.

S01E11
The Box
A sudden earthquake splits the ground the kids walk on and Hank falls in. When the kids come to his aid, they find a box. The Dungeon Master informs them that it is Zandora's Box, a magical device that contains good or bad things, depending on where it is opened. He also informs them that the box is the key to them getting home. They must first free Zandora, who can be released from her current place of captivity by placing the box in the shadow of the skull on Skull Mountain at exactly noon. Once free, Zandora can tell the kids where to place the box to allow them to return home. But when Venger becomes wise to their plans, he isn't going to let them succeed in any of their plans.

S02E08
Child of the Stargazer
The kids stumble upon a young man, sick from exhaustion and hunger. His name is Kosar and he has escaped imprisonment by a demon called Queen Seris. She wanted Kosar out of the way so she can remain in rule, fearing the 1000 year-old ancient prophecy that must be fulfilled by a 'child of the stargazer.' The legend states: And on the night of star fall, the child of the stargazer shall come from a faraway land to stand in the Temple of Light. The demon shall be vanished and the child shall journey home. After an attack to take back Kosar, the kids start their journey to the Temple of Light. But when Kosar is taken back by magical means, Diana is taken back with him. Once there, they have to fulfill the prophecy until the others catch up with them.
