First Show

This was KotA's first show at Arcade which is lost to time and the capriciousness of digital files. The group introduces themselves to the audience and then accept a quest to help in a neighboring town.

Plot Synopsis
The Knights are called on a quest to go investigate the town of Pistbourg which has ceased sending ale and potatoes down the river. As the tavern has neither snacks nor booze they embark immediately.

Upon arrival in town they are greeted by the mayor who is thrilled that someone has come to help. He informs them that there has been no word from the potato mines in three days and that the scouts he sent out there to check it out have not returned.

The Knights go to check it out and on the way are attacked by several 3 foot long worms. Jimmy (as the result of several natural 20s) easily dispatches them with his crossbow and they continue on to the potato mine.

They discover a dry field stretching out into the distance. It looks dry and sapped of life. The group continues into the mines, discovering that the potato plants have been developed to grow long long runners down through thick walls of dirt so that the plants extend down several floors.

The group finds that the whole mine is infested with worms and, once again jimmy lands killing blows on all of them and proclaims himself Jimmy the Wormslayer. The episode ends with the group about to descend to the second floor of the mine.

From the Knights
Creator and DM Fred Betzner:

''As this was the first episode it's probably unsurprising that the show was in a very early stage of development. As originally conceived the show would have presented long story archs presented over multiple episodes that would have rough plot points sketched out ahead of time, but would be directed and filled out of the on stage improv. ''

Though we have experimented in more limited archs in the years since, this format revealed its shortcomings in our Second Show and was largely abandoned.
