    Before they were the Refundables, they were just some idiots in detention.

    It's Year 1 at Scrimore Academy, and Clyde, Ultrex, and Merlin have managed to land themselves in hot water with the one professor they absolutely cannot afford to cross, Professor Harwick, the no-nonsense PE teacher who controls the roster for the upcoming Scrimore Wrestling Tournament. Her terms are simple: clear the rats out of the cellar, come back up, and nobody misses the event.

    Simple.

    After surviving a brutal glass scorpion ambush in the desert, the party limps toward the deceptively cheerful Busy Town of Richard Derry. What awaits them is a hyper-labeled genie metropolis, an overly chipper guard rotation, a looming festival, and Ulrich’s deeply inconvenient family history. Nothing suspicious here. Probably.

    The gang's murder investigation gets even stranger when a second victim turns up, along with a single, mysterious metal cog. Between questionable detective work, overpriced mimic milkshakes, and Ulrich’s highly public bathroom choices, one thing is clear—this case is getting out of hand fast.
