Exactly that, Sinbad gets his back story. He starts off fighting to try get some money clevely losing at a fist fight so his brother Jamil gets excellent odds. For some bizarre reason Taryn is watching him. Then he ends up meeting Nala and her father and robs them. But it turns out he is robbing to keep his family and the jokes on him as all he ends up getting is some weird totem/voodoo doll thing.
Then he accidentally kills the King/Sultan ermm not sure of the correct title, (Akbari) brothers son. Both he and his brother get thrown in jail and Akbari then shockingly kills Jamil in front of Sinbad in retribution.
Sinbad goes back home rather nicely managing to bust out of the Palace jail and unsurprisingly his grandmother is not that impressed one of her grandson's is dead and to teach him a lesson puts a curse on him by creating a snazzy looking locket that locks round his neck. She warns him he cannot be on land longer than 1 cycle of the sun and he must find atonement. He runs off to get off land by sneaking onto the Ship the Providence.
Taryn we discover works for Akbari and is a sorcerous. Again - why was she watching the fight?????? But Akbari's brother is currently in charge and all magic is outlawed.
On board the providence Sinbad meets Rina and discovers he is not the only stowaway although Rina's is accidental. She was stealing and meant to get off the boat before it set off. He also meets Anwar the ships doctor who hilariously is seasick. Sinbad is still covered in bruises from his time against the palace guard etc that Anwar decides to patch him up and then mentions to the Providence Captain that one of his crew downstairs is injured. Que Sinbad busted.
Also Nala and her dad turn up as passengers - it looks as though Sinbad might talk his way out of things and become crew offically on half rations and then tossed off at the next port until they tell the Captain he stole from them. So instead he gets locked up.
Que the evening - big storm. Anwar being the compassionate person he is checks on Sinbad who then captures him to get out of the cell. Rina makes another appearance and then more guests in the form of Watery bird like creatures.They watch in horror as one of these pretty much KO's another crew member. Then Nala appears and shes the next course until our hero lures him away from her.
Gunnar appears and basically takes charge helping the ship survive through the night but heres the kicker - Captain dead and all but Cook of the original crew can it. Also Nala's father bites the dust Leaving the boat to be patched up and now belonging to our merry band of sailors Sinbad, Gunnar, Rina, Anwar, Nala and Cook.
Oh after 1 more drama of course. Rina gets trapped under the hold and water is rising. Sinbad dives in gives her air via mouth kiss (1st potential romance????) and rescues her.
