Episode menu

Series 2, Episode 6

The Questers have tracked the Sword of Asnagar down to a tavern. But Lord Darkness is not about to let the battle between Good and Evil end without a fight.

Further details

The last episode in the series sees the noble band of Questers in a pub and within touching distance of getting their hands on the Sword of Asnagar.

However, Lord Darkness still has a few tricks up his sleeve and he's not about to let the possibility of eternal dominion over Lower Earth slip through his fingers without pulling out all the stops.

Will the Questers be strong enough to handle the immense power of the Sword. Or, as ever with these things, will they be tempted over to the Dark Side...?
