Original Airdate (Twitch): October 7, 2020:

The first episode of the third "Da Krew" spin-off storyline.

Da Krew is contacted by Chromedome, the Ork whose head is fused to a bowling ball (which is apparently giving him heightened perception), and asked to attend a reunion of all the survivors of their Warband's massacre. Although suspicious, they attend, and find that the invitation was sincere; there's food, party games, and plenty of old friends in attendance. There's also a new face in the crowd that's quickly gaining popularity: a scrawny Ork named "Mawp Bukket", who claims to have killed 300 humies, but suffers from memory loss due to battle injuries. Once things are heating up, Chromedome decides to announce his true intentions: he wants to start the ol' Warband back up, and has even designed a brand new logo. However, before it has a chance to be displayed, a figure from the past arrives, takes over, and forces Da Krew (and new friend Mawp) to take on one of three missions for him...


ENDLESS TEETH

  • Accidental Murder: Aaaaa's first scene in the episode has him feed Smolface some random Chaos junk, which causes him to explode. Luckily, he's able to put his Squig back together, with some additions (such as blue feathers).
  • Halfway Plot Switch: The episode starts with a party to determine a new Warchief, but it's interrupted by the return of Gadzookz and ends up smack dab in a King's Quest homage.
  • Large and in Charge: When Gadzookz appears to take over the Warband, he's grown ten feet taller than any of the Orks, who are already quite large to begin with.
  • Losing Your Head: Chromedome is reduced to a talking head by Gadzookz for daring to try and "democratically" decide who should lead the Warband. Da Krew keeps it, and plans to build a special new warbody for Chromedome to help eventually overthrow their new boss.
  • The Mutiny: Da Krew attempts to put one into motion, contacting the target from a mission they didn't take (a former lieutenant of Gadzookz that turned traitor) and making a deal to take down their new boss.
  • Not Quite Dead: The first major revelation of the episode is that Gadzookz, the usurper that conquered their Warband and made it his own, has survived his explosion from an earlier campaign and come back to reclaim what's his.
  • Punny Name: The planet of Dave-3 and its leader, Gray Ham, become this with the realization that they're representing "Daventry" and "King Graham".
  • The Reveal: The picture of the character Monty is playing is covered up until their first appearance in the story, to preserve the Interface Spoiler that Mawp Bukkit is a human in an (incredibly flimsy) Ork disguise.
  • Rube Goldberg Device: Aaaaa sets one up for the sole purpose of launching a victim out of an airlock, hoping that it'll hit a target propped up outside of the Krewzer.
  • Torture Technician: Gronk's shown practicing his interrogation skills on a training dummy, which is actually a real humie he abducted. Said "dummy" only survives two scenes.
  • Unfortunate Names: Gazookz's traitorous lieutenant is named "Spitroast". When all the players burst out laughing, it has to be specified he was named after the cooking technique, and not the sexual act.
  • Whole-Plot Reference: The mission that Da Krew ends up undertaking is to go to a planet named Dave-3, which Gadzookz first discovered after accidentally crashing there, to recruit primitive Orks that are currently in their Feudal Age. Once there, they are introduced to their king, Gray Ham, and asked to retrieve three lost treasures (shiny steel that reflects the future, an invincible shield, and a chest filled with infinite teeth) in order to secure the alliance. Or, in other words, the Ork Kwest is a King's Quest.
