That said, here's a quick update on what happened. The rascals managed to defeat the demons, and Old Blue almost one the prize fiddle – but a small, otherworldly boy managed to snatch the victory away. The crew followed the boy into the forest, where he offered the fiddle back to a demon purporting to be its deceased owner. The heroes fought off the demon and took the fiddle, but it left them with a mighty large set of questions. Next day, the company guards descended on the festival, and with help from the locals, our heroes fought them off, acquiring a healthy share of company weapons along the way. And now, on with the story.

Old Blue's been invited to the Fiddler's Convention, and the crew heads there hoping to find allies in their new-found resistance. Featuring Foundry Monsters Brendan, Ron, Bob, Jung Soo, and Frank.

This week on the Happy MonsterCast, the Foundry Monsters enter the twisted Appalachian apocalypse of Holler! Featuring Foundry Monsters Brendan, Ron, Bob, Jung Soo, and Frank.
