Episode 1: Retreat

A simple caravan raid turns into a bloody rout. With two men dead and their toughest fighter bleeding out, the Scum Kings are forced to flee into the dark woods with nothing to show for their failure but a single, useless captive. As the crew licks their wounds, their leader, Dray, is confronted with a grim accounting: they are poorer, more desperate, and have lost more than just blood.


Episode 2: The Naming

In the grey light of dawn, blame for the failed raid boils over into a direct challenge against Dray's leadership. To maintain control, the captain's response must be swift, brutal, and public. With his authority re-established through violence, a moment of grim camaraderie around a fire gives the broken crew a new, ugly, and perfect name to rally behind.


Episode 3: The Captive

With no leads and dwindling hope, Dray gives their captive to Gix, the crew's master of cruelty. The interrogation that follows is not a session of shouting and broken bones, but a quiet, psychological game played with a feather, a piece of glass, and a dead hornet. As Gix shreds the prisoner's sanity, it becomes clear he knows nothing, and the Scum Kings have no use for a worthless captive.


Episode 4: The Hunger

Starvation has reduced the Scum Kings to a shadow of themselves. A grim choice is presented by Orso: a humiliating retreat to beg for scraps, or a suicidal push deeper into the unknown. As Dray's pride clashes with Orso's logic, their best hunter, Brynn, returns from a two-day search with a seemingly worthless prize... and the look of a predator who has found much bigger prey.


Episode 5: Planning

Brynn's great discovery is revealed: not a rich caravan, but a single, fat pig on a tiny farm. Driven by starvation, the Scum Kings swallow their pride and plan the theft with the tactical precision of a military siege. As Orso finalizes the absurdly detailed plan for their two-structure assault, an unexpected sound from the valley threatens to turn their pathetic masterpiece into another humiliating failure.
