Part one of the two-part premiere of Ship of Fools! In the aftermath of a devastating shipwreck, three survivors find themselves washed ashore on a seemingly deserted island. Will they survive this twist of fate? Probably! They are the main characters.

Having talked their way into a free stay at the resort, our heroes gather their strength, then face their greatest challenge yet: getting covered with mud. Malachi listens to music, Regin goes for a swim, and Fin gets lost in the sauce.   Note: the audio quality is a little weird in some parts of this one. We were figuring some things out!

With their first job complete, our heroes indulge in all that the Blue Fin Tropical Resort has to offer—spas, snacks, and especially beach volleyball. They also manage to spend a little time learning more about the unfolding mystery of the cube. Regin wants to steal, Fin meets his hero, and Malachi punishes himself.   Music used:   Ship of Fools Theme, by Lucas Mangold Healing Water, by David Renda (fesliyanstudios.com) Ethereal Plane, by Tabletop Audio (tabletopaudio.com) Beach and Spa, by Jared Haverdink Too Fly, by David Fesliyan (fesliyanstudios.com) Chee Zee Beach, by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) (licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0) Dark Shadows, by David Fesliyan The Unsolved Mystery, by David Fesliyan   Sound Effects:   Lively Cafe, by Tabletop Audio (tabletopaudio.com) Sleigh Bells, Long A, by InspectorJ (Freesound.org) Splash, Jumping, A, by InspectorJ (www.jshaw.co.uk) (Freesound) Stream, Water, C by InspectorJ (Freesound) Sound effects licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0

Eliester asks the boys to keep an eye out for suspicious activity. But after last night’s unsettling experience in the woods, how can they know who to trust? Malachi eats breakfast, Fin shows off his skills, and Regin disengages.

Finally face to face with the cultists, our heroes fight for survival—and to ensure an optimal guest experience for the resort. Fin fights fire, Regin bleeds out, and Malachi does some reading.   Music: Ship of Fools Theme, by Lucas Mangold Cult Battle, by Jared Haverdink Stoneworld Battle by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4420-stoneworld-battle License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Lurking Sloth, by Alexander Nakarada Hybrid Chaos, by David Fesliyan (fesliyanstudios.com) The Unsolved Mystery, by David Fesliyan (fesliyanstudios)   Sound Effects: Sizzle_Smolder_Extinguish, by kMoon (freesound.org) Thunder.wav, by inchadney (freesound.org) Thunder Sound FX, by Grant Evans (soundbible.com) Dark and Stormy, by Tabletop Audio (tabletopaudio.com) wave2, by Kayyy (Freesound.org) wave3, by Kayyy (Freesound.org) "Water, Pouring, A.wav" by InspectorJ (www.jshaw.co.uk) of Freesound.org (CC BY3) Freesound and Soundbible sounds licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 3 License

Our heroes bid farewell to the Blue Fin and head to Benswith, a city where you can always find what you need—if what you need is a sword and a stiff drink. Malachi goes to church, Regin places bets, and Fin appreciates some art.   Music: Healing Water, by David Renda (Fesliyanstudios.com) Fantasy, by Yakov Golman (FreeMusicArchive.com, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Whispers on the Wind, by Laura Boyman Protean Fields, by Tabletop Audio (tabletopaudio.com) Malachi’s Music Box, by Andy Letai Benevolent God, by Jared Haverdink Myst on the Moor by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4104-myst-on-the-moor License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/   Sound Effects: Open Ocean, by Tabletop Audio (tabletopaudio.com) Medieval Town, by Tabletop Audio

Our heroes have two very important meetings to attend. Hopefully they’ll find out everything there is to know about cubes and cults—or failing that, at least get some snacks out of it. Regin haggles, Malachi evaluates credentials, and Fin pets a dog.

We answer all of your burning questions, argue semantics, and reminisce about how we met.   Music:   Ship of Fools Theme, by Lucas Mangold

Regin does battle in the fighting pits, while Malachi and Fin look on in…horror? Pride? Embarrassment? Who can say. Then, it’s time for some difficult conversations. Regin gets a new toy, Fin works the crowd, and Malachi meets an old friend.   Music: Ship of Fools Theme, by Lucas Mangold Take Down, by David Fesliyan (fesliyanstudios.com) Monster in the Field, by David Fesliyan (fesliyanstudios) The Quiet Morning, by David Fesliyan (fesliyanstudios) Sound Effects: Lucha Libre, by Tabletop Audio (tabletopaudio.com) The Slaughtered Ox, by Tabletop Audio (tabletopaudio) Fire Breathing Dragon, by CGEffex (Freesound.org, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0)

Nell gives the AAA’s newest recruits their first mission—and surprise surprise, it’s cube related. Malachi ties knots, Regin gets described, and Fin sees the world through new eyes.

On the hunt for a cube, our heroes face off against some enterprising Kuo-Toa and delve deeper into their watery lair. Thrills and spills abound. Fin chats with the locals, Regin dresses to impress, and Malachi falls behind.   Music: Ship of Fools Theme, by Lucas Mangold Underground Lake, by Tabletop Audio (Tabletopaudio.com) Assault Team 1, by David Fesliyan (FesliyanStudios.com) Sewers, by Tabletop Audio Escape Chase, by David Fesliyan Ethereal Plane, by Tabletop Audio   Sound Effects: Splash, Jumping, H, by InspectorJ (www.jshaw.co.uk) (Freesound.org) 20060307.swamp, by dobroide (Freesound) Sewers, by Tabletop Audio (tabletopaudio.com) Splashing Footsteps, by Soundmary (Freesound) Running on Ground, by Disagree (Freesound) Splash, Jumping, A, by InspectorJ (www.jshaw.co.uk) (Freesound) Large Splashes, by CGEffex (Freesound) Underwater [Loop], by AMB (Freesound) Footsteps_flipflops, by tim.kahn (Freesoun) Logo Dissolve, Electric A, by InspectorJ (www.jshaw.co.uk) (Freesound) fusion-gun_flash0, by OnlyTheGhosts (Freesound) Sound effects licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License

The Kuo-Toa leader makes our heroes an offer that is actually fairly easy to refuse. It’s an all-out boardroom brawl, and the prize is exclusive usage rights for the cube. Malachi miscalculates, Fin makes an investment, and Regin punches a tree.   Music: Ship of Fools Theme, by Lucas Mangold Action Rhythms, by David Fesliyan (Fesliyanstudios.com) Assault Team 1, by David Fesliyan (fesliyanstudios) Ethereal Plane, by Tabletop Audio (Tabletopaudio.com) Escape Chase, by David Fesliyan (fesliyanstudios) Not As It Seems by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4144-not-as-it-seems License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ It Is Coming, by David Fesliyan (fesliyanstudios) Monster in the Field, by David Fesliyan (fesliyanstudios)   Sound Effects: Large Splashes, by CGEffex (Freesound.org) Thunder, by straget (freesound) Sound effects licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License

The boys return to Benswith under suspicious circumstances. There’s time to run some errands, but is it safe? Fin meets his constituents, Regin takes a hit, and Malachi asks the tough questions.   Music: Ship of Fools Theme, by Lucas Mangold Vanishing by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4578-vanishing License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Ethereal Plane, by Tabletop Audio (tabletopaudio.com) Laid Back Guitars by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3964-laid-back-guitars License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Malachi’s Music Box, by Andy Letai Country Village, Tabletop   Sound Effects: Royal Salon, by Tabletop Audio (tabletopaudio.com) Open Ocean, by Tabletop Audio
