Justin, Travis, and Griffin McElroy have recruited their dad Clint for a campaign of high adventure. Join the McElroys as they find their fortune and slay an unconscionable number of - you know, kobolds or whatever in - The Adventure Zone. The Balance Arc focuses on a trio of adventurers named Taako, Merle, and Magnus, who, following the first arc, work for an organization called the Bureau of Balance, led by a mysterious director. Their job is to find and retrieve powerful and ancient relics that, in the wrong hands, could potentially destroy the world. During their adventures, they meet a boy detective, fight ghost-possessed robots, and discover the true meaning of friendship (as well as a reality destroying horror).
