Synopsis

In a flash back, Plumpy is on the run, but is soon captured by cultists in hoodies. Soon after the end of Summer of Our Regret, a great feast, for human and cow alike, is being held in honor of Plumpy not being dead. They then realize that Plumpy isn't but should be at the feast. A man shows up saying that he is a scholar of Plumpy and that he can lead them to where Plumpy is. All the while suspiciously winking at the camera.

The party moves to Clumpy's Hall where they meet Clumpy and Chumpy. Both Clumpy and Chumpy are similar in age and brothers of Plumpy. They have invited the Mercenary King to the party who the rest of the party goers reluctantly accept. Soon the party gets very awkward and the Cow, Human and Forgotten kings decide something fishy is going on, so they investigate. The scholar of Plumpy gets a hoodie cultist to plant some orange string in the seat to make it look like Plumpy had been there. The Forgotten King finds the string and accuses Clumpy of something dastardly. Clumpy and Chumpy run off thinking it was about eating the last of the food. Everyone chases them down and once the misunderstanding is cleared up, the scholar of Plumpy reveals that he kidnapped Plumpy. Immediately the Mercenary King stabs him until he dies. Then everyone heads off to find Plumpy.

Meanwhile, Plumpy has been tortured multiple times by the hoodie cultists. In between each torture session he is thrown into a cell with Rungle. He befriends Rungle, and decides that Rungle is the best that a person can be. Plumpy realizes that the hoodie cult is trying to take his Plumpy power, which is beginning to bloom, and they have almost succeeded. Then Rungle tells Plumpy that he betrayed Plumpy and is working for the hoodie cult.

The main group find an area of the forest that is so destroyed that only the Plumpy power could have done it. Then a flash back is shown where the hoodie cult has gathered to extract the final essence of the Plumpy Power. Plumpy laments about the betrayal of Rungle when he shows up with the Plumpy essence that had already been extracted. The cult leader delivers the slap of death to Rungle much to Plumpy's dismay. Plumpy then regains his Plumpy power and uses it to demolish the area and kill the cult members. He then buries Rungle and cries over his grave.
