The Quest Begins

The Quest Begins is the 1st episode in Season 1 of Harmonquest.

Plot synopsis
The series opens in the village of Earthscar where friends Teflonto, Fondue and Boneweevil prepare for The Festival of Restoration; a celebration which occurs once every 100 years in honour of the creation of the demon seal which keeps demons from entering the world.

The ceremony is interrupted by the arrival of Beor, a barbarian woman who claims she is being chased by evil Cultists.

Upon further investigation they discover that the Cultists have in fact been chasing her and they have come to Earthscar to find and take three arcane runestones - including the binding runestone which keeps the demon seal in place. They reveal their intentions to resurrect their dark lord The Great Manticore and bring the world to ruin.

Refusing to give the runestones to the Cultists, Fondue, Boneweevil, Beor and Teflonto fight the Cultists, killing most of them. However, their efforts are in vain, as a heavily armoured figure clad in dark plate mail strides past them and takes the binding runestone, breaking the demon seal and unleashing a host of evil spirits and three arcane horrors into the world, where they destroy the village and wreak havok on its inhabitants before leaving with the Cultists and their leader.

Before disappearing, the dark armoured figure attacks all four heroes, killing Teflonto.

As he dies, Teflonto asks Fondue and Boneweevil to find and return the binding runestone and to avenge him by killing the armoured figure who took his life. Just before he dies, Beor rips his rib-cage from his chest and subsequently removes the rest of his bones as well, explaining that she does this to 'honour him'. At the end of the episode she can be seen constructing a 'Skull Tree' from his bones.
