I don't know if they will make a good protagonist since they can't catch a deer and dies from drinking water because Nakula, Sahadeva, Arjuna, and Bhima did not heed the lakes warning - Because the gods were on their side, the Pandava brothers comes back to life and recieves gift for their 13 year exile - Kichaka tries to sexually assault Draupadi, so Bhima kills him. - Susharman attempts to steal Virata's cattle after the death of their general, Kichaka. - Susharman successfully captures King Virata, but Bhima captures Susharman instead and frees Virata. - Karna fights with Arjuna and loses. - Uttara and Abhimanyu gets married since King Virata finds out that Pandavas were in his court. - Pandavas requests half of the Duryodhana's ...
