-----Check out our new Podcast! The Great Gatsby In the Style of... Robert E. Howard! Click here to for more info!-----This is a episode range binge compilation containing 5 episodes. Episodes included: 1. The One-Eyed Priest (September 15, 2025) 2. The Mugging (September 16, 2025) 3. A New Road (September 17, 2025) 4. The Ambush (September 18, 2025) 5. A Hollow Victory (September 19, 2025) --- Episode 1: The One-Eyed Priest Determined to avoid another chaotic brawl, the Scum Kings attempt a silent, meticulously planned heist on the lone priest. A decoy draws him out, and their best scout slips into the shrine unseen. The plan is perfect. But the prize is chained down, and the priest is not what he seems. When he reveals he knew their every move from the start, the crew's brilliant plan becomes a humiliating failure, leaving only one option left: brute force. Episode 2: The Mugging The time for tricks is over. Led by Stigand's brute force, the Scum Kings unleash their fury on the shrine and the one-eyed priest, tearing the place apart to claim their prize. But when the donation box is finally ripped from the floor and broken open, the "treasure" within is a bitter joke, and the only one left laughing is their victim. Episode 3: A New Road Haunted by the priest's laughter and drowning in their own shame, the Scum Kings abandon their camp. Cornered and out of options, Orso unrolls a map and lays bare the brutal logic of their predicament. With a rope waiting in the north and a wall of mountains in the west, there is only one path that isn't explicitly suicidal: a long, miserable march south through desolation to find a forgotten road. Episode 4: The Ambush After a five-day march through desolation, the Scum Kings finally reach the forgotten road. Renewed with purpose, they set a perfect ambush and settle in to wait for their prey. But as the hours crawl by under a baking sun, hope sours into doubt. Just as Dray is about to admit another failure, a sharp hiss from their lookout signals that the long, silent wait is finally over. Episode 5: A Hollow Victory The lone traveler is not a rich merchant, but a simple, elderly pilgrim. When the ambush is sprung, the old man fights back with surprising skill and a strange, weary sadness, showing no fear of his attackers. The fight becomes a cruel game until Dray steps in to end it with a single, brutal blow. But as the crew stands over the body in the dying light, the silence is deafening. For the first time, a victory feels entirely hollow.A SIGNAL BOX STUDIO PRODUCTION🧠 Narrative Design: Mike Daltrey⚡ Production: The Signal BoxSystem Note:This human-designed series includes AI and other software tools in its production via our proprietary Signal Box platform.Signal Box: Fiction’s Next Chapter.-----Want to binge The Scum Kings with fewer ads?
