S01E01

Season 1, Episode 1 of The Bards' Tale, entitled "A Handful Of Good Deeds Amidst The Chaos", is the first episode of The Bards' Tale.

Summary
The episode begins with the cast introducing their characters and Brian Thomas introducing the conflict. We learn that the bards have sailed on the Imminent Hope out of Cutter Falls several days ago, with some difficulty due to Matthais Calamos angering various merchants, including the "condiment guy", and many of the bards are now feeling seasick, particularly Iona Moor. As the party gets some fresh air on deck, the ship is attacked by a small pack of Blood Hawks. Although Iona is badly hurt, the bards easily defeat the birds, most notably by Nadir Lamoja dealing damage with a sandwich. After the battle, Matthais and Skylark The Everfree notice a shadow in the water, which they initially believe to be a sign of a storm but turns out to be a Leviathan, which emerges from the water as the episode ends.
