The Scum Kings

A simple caravan raid turns into a bloody rout. With two men dead and their toughest fighter bleeding out, the Scum Kings are forced to flee into the dark woods with nothing to show for their failure but a single, useless captive. As the crew licks their wounds, their leader, Dray, is confronted with a grim accounting: they are poorer, more desperate, and have lost more than just blood.-----Want to binge The Scum Kings with fewer ads?

In the grey light of dawn, blame for the failed raid boils over into a direct challenge against Dray's leadership. To maintain control, the captain's response must be swift, brutal, and public. With his authority re-established through violence, a moment of grim camaraderie around a fire gives the broken crew a new, ugly, and perfect name to rally behind.-----Want to binge The Scum Kings with fewer ads?

With no leads and dwindling hope, Dray gives their captive to Gix, the crew's master of cruelty. The interrogation that follows is not a session of shouting and broken bones, but a quiet, psychological game played with a feather, a piece of glass, and a dead hornet. As Gix shreds the prisoner's sanity, it becomes clear he knows nothing, and the Scum Kings have no use for a worthless captive.-----Want to binge The Scum Kings with fewer ads?

Starvation has reduced the Scum Kings to a shadow of themselves. A grim choice is presented by Orso: a humiliating retreat to beg for scraps, or a suicidal push deeper into the unknown. As Dray's pride clashes with Orso's logic, their best hunter, Brynn, returns from a two-day search with a seemingly worthless prize... and the look of a predator who has found much bigger prey.-----Want to binge The Scum Kings with fewer ads?

Brynn's great discovery is revealed: not a rich caravan, but a single, fat pig on a tiny farm. Driven by starvation, the Scum Kings swallow their pride and plan the theft with the tactical precision of a military siege. As Orso finalizes the absurdly detailed plan for their two-structure assault, an unexpected sound from the valley threatens to turn their pathetic masterpiece into another humiliating failure.-----Want to binge The Scum Kings with fewer ads?

The Scum Kings' meticulously planned raid on the farm collapses into a chaotic brawl the moment it begins. Faced with a surprisingly fierce defense from two old farmers armed with a pitchfork and a frying pan, the glorious heist becomes a pathetic, muddy mess. When brute force fails to end the fight, Gix resorts to a moment of shocking cruelty to break their spirit, securing the prize and a much-needed victory.-----Want to binge The Scum Kings with fewer ads?

With a butcher's reverence, Cob prepares a feast fit for kings. The smell of roasting pork fills the camp, a torturous promise of salvation for the starving mercenaries. When the meat is finally ready, civility is abandoned. But as one member breaks rank to snatch the first piece, Dray enforces the only law that matters with brutal finality: the King eats first.-----Want to binge The Scum Kings with fewer ads?

Planning his next kill, Dray finds a starving woman and child hiding in the woods; another problem to be ignored or eliminated. But the child's haunted eyes provoke a rare and unwanted feeling: pity. Dray's reaction is an act of mercy, disguised as cruelty and followed by a wave of fury at his own weakness.-----Want to binge The Scum Kings with fewer ads?

Disgusted by his own moment of weakness, Dray needs to remind his crew—and himself—of his brutality. A casual remark from Gix provides the perfect excuse for a sudden, violent outburst. The savage beating is meant to purge Dray's shame, but Gix's blood-soaked, knowing smile in the aftermath is a chilling confirmation that he and his king speak the same dark language.-----Want to binge The Scum Kings with fewer ads?

The victory of the feast has soured. Staring into a fireless pit, Dray is confronted by his lieutenants with the cold, hard facts of their survival. They need a score, any score, now. The only available target is the most shameful one imaginable, and for a crew that calls themselves kings, robbing a lone priest is an admission of what they truly are: the bottom of the barrel.-----Want to binge The Scum Kings with fewer ads?

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.-----Want to binge The Scum Kings with fewer ads?

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.-----Want to binge The Scum Kings with fewer ads?

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.-----Want to binge The Scum Kings with fewer ads?

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.-----Want to binge The Scum Kings with fewer ads?

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.-----Want to binge The Scum Kings with fewer ads?

The victory over the pilgrim feels hollow and shameful, until Silayne searches the body. In a hidden pocket, she finds not coppers, but a heavy pouch of silver coins—enough to change everything. The crew's despair instantly turns to celebration, the murder justified by the prize. But as they rejoice, Dray is drawn to another, "worthless" item from the pilgrim's robes, an object that fills him with a cold sense of foreboding.-----Want to binge The Scum Kings with fewer ads?

The silver coins have bought the Scum Kings a future, sparking a manic celebration. But the joy is cut short when Silayne takes command, explaining the danger of their newfound wealth. The southern coins are a dead giveaway, and spending them carelessly means a death sentence. As she establishes herself as the company's sole treasurer, a new, more disciplined future for the crew begins to take shape.-----Want to binge The Scum Kings with fewer ads?
