EPISODE ONE: ANGRY BIRDS
"Banana Cream. The Spirits approve." -Sleek Deer

Synopsis: A caravan of complete strangers all venture towards the thriving city of Sidehook, each with their own unique drives and motivations. A stoic Guide, a proud father, an incorrigible misfit and a standoffish wanderer join our heroes on their trek towards the jewel of the Long Dry, encountering an unexpected detour via the appearance of the mighty Radroc. Forced to delay their journey, our intrepid Adventurers involve themselves in a colorful mediation between a court jester and a cruel avian queen, with laughter winning out the day. Finally arriving to the glimmering city of Sidehook, a shocking revelation unfolds as Father and Son reunite in a truly shocking cliffhanger... 

Maksim's Letter

EPISODE TWO: MY SON THE SLAVE
"I would hug you close, were it not for fear of massive explosion from bomb collar." -Yuri

Synopsis: Yuri and Maksim Stepanov reunite in an unlikely meeting, with the son of Stepanov revealing that his call to find his fortune in Sidehook did not end up quite as glamorous as his letters home have indicated. Now a Debt-Slave under the stern watch of The First Trader, Martine, our intrepid heroes valiantly lend their brains and brawn to the cause of getting young Maksim freed of his bondage and pay off his debt via a favor to the boy's owner. After making a stop to pay homage to the second of three of Sidehook's colorful rulers, the Adventurers take to the Wasteland to seek out a rather curious Junk-enthusiast with...questionable relationship goals. A tense meeting and sparring session result, and our victorious heroes return, securing Maksim's freedom and capturing the undying loyalty and gratitude of his Father.

Synopsis: Free at last! Young Maksim Stepanov has his Slave collar removed thanks to the intrepid actions of our bold heroes, revealing the true story about his adventures in Sidehook. A seedy "Business Partner" named Carlisle gained young Maksim's trust and then betrayed him, stealing all of his worldly goods, leaving the Son of Stepanov to hold the bag and be labeled a Barter-Criminal. A left-behind Holotape leaves a clue as to Carlisle's whereabouts, sending our Heroes into the gritty depths of Plastic Alley, where they come face-to-gruesome-face with Doctor Johnny Carolina, who sets the pair onto Carlisle's trail...
