Sword Art Online: AOD | S1E3 | First Contact

💫 This is a remastered version of the original Episode 3. In this case, the episode has been fully reenacted with improved audio and updated music for a better listening experience. 🎧

🗡️ Arc: Forest of Beginnings

📜 Episode Summary:

The hunt for slimes begins... by immediately splitting the party.

Tiffany, Wilson, and Scilia venture off in one direction (with Tiffany promising to help Wilson “get buff”), while Snow leads Clyde, Grog, and Crystal deeper into the enchanted woods. But when the forest proves more confusing than expected, Snow's party stumbles into a meeting with the elusive elves of the Ranger Society.

As new connections form and strange potions are consumed (bad idea), the group reconnects—only to learn Wilson’s team is still actively under attack... by birds. Very serious birds.

🎲 Failed saves, poor decisions, and a whole lot of potion side effects await.

⚔️ Whether you're discovering this tale for the first time or returning to relive the journey, we hope you enjoy this enhanced edition.  

🔁 We’ll continue updating our backlog as we grow — thank you for supporting our evolution!
