The episode begins with the players choosing their roles and explaining their characters. Mike Krahulik chooses the Wizard class and introduces Jim Darkmagic III, whom he almost renames to Jim Fellmagic, a magician from the "New Hampshire Darkmagics" (Chris Perkins later renamed the Newhamp Shire Darkmagics for fantasy consistency). Jerry Holkins presents Omin Dran (claiming that Dran was "short for something" that he hadn't decided upon at the time) a Half-Elf Cleric. Scott Kurtz of PVP introduces Binwin Bronzebottom (he specifices that he required a butt be involved in his character's naming). Chris Perkins explains many of the rules of Dungeons and Dragons to Mike Krahulik, who had never before played, between setting the scene of the adventuring party's first adventure occurring in the town of Winterhaven. On the hunt for the creature known as 'Irontooth', the party discovers a "fell keep". Binwin descends into the keep and immediately attracts the attention of a Swarm of Rats.
