The HarmonQuest heroes, with guest player Patton Oswalt, may have escaped the Demon Realm, but the Demon Realm may not have escaped them.
HarmonQuest Season 2, Episode 5 finally launches our heroes out of the Demon Realm and back into the Sandman Desert, but the action picks up immediately upon their return. Guest star Patton Oswalt plays one of the sand nomads and his knowledge about current events and mysterious happenings in the desert provide some dramatic insight for our heroes.
Fondue (Dan Harmon), Beor (Erin McGathy) and Boneweevil (Jeff Davis) realize that their heroic actions in prior episodes may have actually caused more damage — and we’re not just talking about critical hits. Our heroes are finally starting to understand what they will need to do to be truly victorious this season.
HarmonQuest Season 2, Episode 5 synopsis:
"After defeating the caretaker of the abyss, our heroes return to Earth, where much has changed. Finding some sand nomads and saving them from marauding beasts, the gang is treated to tea and discover an evil presence has followed them back from the Demon Realm."

“Back to Sandman Desert” is filled with sand puns, complex weapons, and an episode-long inside joke about reciting life lessons, but it’s the sand nomads who are sitting back and sipping tea (seriously, there’s tea).
Though Oswalt was clearly provided with an outline on the desired story progression before filming, he seemed very comfortable as a player in the HarmonQuest universe, and with Spencer Crittenden as his character’s grandmother, the pair helped our heroes understand how to get back on track to fight evil.
