Down Came the Rain is the fifth episode of season 15, Neverafter.
Intro[]
"Hello, one and all! Welcome back to another thrilling episode of "Dimension 20: Neverafter." I'm your humble Dungeon Master, Brennan Lee Mulligan. With me, as always, are our Intrepid Heroes. Say "hi," Intrepid Heroes!
[...] Last we left off, boy, oh boy. A trippy series of afterlife adventures as our characters awakened into revelations about the nature of the Neverafter, and the bizarre, horrifying multiverse of fairytale existences that are being fought over, and also menaced, by various otherworldly entities and forces. We met some of these entities and forces: Red's relationship to The Big Bad Wolf, Cinderella made contact with Rosamund, The Fairy with Turquoise Hair contacted Prince Gerard, and The Golden Goose herself gave wing to-- [...] A lot of strange things-- a lot of very strange and fascinating things happened. [...] And we also saw connections to other forces, such as Puss in Boots' connection to a seeming council of trickster animals in the beyond between realms, and Pinocchio's horrifying confrontation with the person that he refers to as "MaMa."
[...] We now return to a new Neverafter, bearing new forms from this version of fairytale land that is rent a little bit more asunder by the forces of horror. We return now to a location partway between places, on the road towards Shoeberg once again, but partway between the Kingdoms of Greenleigh and Reverie, and partway from the fallen Kingdom of Marienne. With that, we begin to move-- [...] A small roadside tavern on the way to Shoeberg, thundering rain outside as a sign hangs, flapping in the driving torrent. Here it stands, the last drinking hole for those ne'er-do-wells that tread their way to that city of sin. You approach now The Cock 'n' Toad, a roadside tavern. [...] A small, spluttering fire inside of the tavern hosts a number of armed mercenaries and warriors of these fairytale lands. Over by the bar are a number of creatures sat, a bartender with a moody expression and a scar over their face that seems to shimmer with ice, as though wounded by a magic blade. Various other denizens of the bar move about the place we see. It seems to be a strange peddler, seller of wares, some perhaps more magical than others, occupies a table off in the corner, and, at the end of the bar, a giant dish with a face on it orders yet another drink, leaning its ceramic body against the railing of the bar. Arriving here in this place one by one, we're returning, convening. Let me ask: who's the first to arrive, and if you could describe your arrival to The Cock 'n' Toad, and also what you look like if you look different in this new incarnation of your story."
