The Quest Begins / The Not-So-Great Escape.
Episode Description:
The Quest Begins: Prince Nestor and his Griffin companion Graer flee the Katastrophe brothers as they search for Quest. The Katastrophe Brothers serve the evil Lord Spite. Graer is Quest's former partner. Nestor's mother banished Quest from the kingdom at some point. Nestor explains to Quest that his parents have been captured and he needs to find the Shatter Soul Sword so he can rescue them. Quest refuses to help but Nestor tricks him into reading an allegiance spell that binds him to aid the prince.
The Not-So-Great Escape: Nestor, Quest and Graer travel to the town of Effluvium seeking Gatling. Gatling knows where to find the Dagger of Way which will lead Nestor to the five swords which make up the Shatter Soul Sword. They are promptly arrested for stepping on the grass, one of many crazy laws in the town. They get thrown into prison where they find Gatling, a cyborg whom Quest blames for his banishment. It turns out that the town is on the back of an enormous monster, and the prisoners are food for the creature. They escape and Gatling joins them on their quest.
