Gathered on the Field to Destiny were the following brave or foolish souls:
Aukan Dawncaller knows how it done. He has come prepared to tell you of his feats of strength and bravery. He is a healer/sharpshooter whose strength is his healing powers and his weakness is that his gunsight keeps falling off. Be like Aukan Dawncaller. Be prepared.
The Nameless is a post-apocalyptic human survivor from Earth with lots of guns. He heard this place was better than his zombie-infested realm. He opposes the tyrannical rule of Lord Maul. He knows how to survive. He doesn’t trust people easily. As a human, he is easily killed.
Layla the Ninja is from back in time, when Layla was just a ninja not a knight. Her strength is that she has ninja skills, but her weakness is that her skills are not that polished so she sometimes gets her nunchucks tangled.
Patty the Teenage Spider is a teenager turned into a spider by a venomous bite. She can shoot venomous webs and has her own venomous bite. Her pillow represents the thrown web, and you die on impact. She’s has a lot of issues and is out for blood. She has a bad attitude. She doesn’t follow directions. She has an injured foot, and so can’t run. Because she is not naturally a spider, but a human, she runs of out energy very quickly.
Fairyboy has got medical training and is now a medic. Fairyboy has tissues.
The Last Survivor of a planet that blew up thinks he’s the last survivor, but the planet had many allies so he’s trying to find them. He’s a scientist, and he can survive heat up to the temperature of a blue star or 11,000 kelvins. However, he is easily injured by cold. If his space suit is broken, all this cold Minnesota air will kill him in seconds.
The Mercenary has two guns.
Dimitri the Revenant is a mercenary who has 10 seconds of invulnerability after taking a fatal hit before he dies.
Buzzsaw Aldrin does not speak. He observes. You’re not sure if he is alive or dead.
Travis is a genius alien weapons-dealer mechanic. If he opens his coat, he has an entire arsenal hidden inside there — but not right now, sadly enough. His strength is his mind, and also his strength enhancers because they make him stronger. He can also push you away. He really likes pizza. His bean bag are turrets. Don’t get hit by one.
Victor Magnus Killian comes from a nation of steampunk technology and magic. They go together rather nicely, making great weapons of magic and technology. He is also a beast man: a human that is stronger, faster and has sharp teeth and nails, and a little fur here and there. Victor Magnus Killian is the best engineer of his nation and a rather gifted sorcerer as well, holding a degree in explosives (DE). He wears environmental armor which is a steampunk suit that allows him to take a hit and feel only a little tickle. He can move through a furnace blasting at hundreds of degrees. However, he can run out of fuel, whether that’s coal, steam or magic. He also has bestial tendencies so those instincts can get in his way.
The Knight has a sword and a knight’s helmet.
The Wanderer is a seemingly ordinary enough human who is immune to gas weapons due to his superior technology.
Dweller Eleven is just Dweller Eleven. That’s all you need to know.
Deputy Storyteller The Last Survivor speaks.
Rumors abounded that our Most Honored Storyteller had been eaten by vampiric rabbits or waylaid by ravenous pumpkin-eating squirrels. No matter, for regardless of his fate, the Thief for Hire could not be found. Maybe he’d found a more lucrative job. Fortunately, the Last Survivor had been anointed his Deputy and was fully prepared to take up his mantle.
The Last Survivor reminded the brave souls gathered on the windswept Field of Destiny that many people have gathered here for one reason and that one reason is GOLD!
But that’s not the real reason for most planets are made out of gold. There’s also energy, lots of energy right here. Not just any energy! Well, maybe it is any kind of energy.
No matter! An energy creature is going to come out of the ground. It’s like a really weird oily creature. The oily creature is underground in a cave. We, the brave and valiant heroes of this realm, kind of need to make sure that it doesn’t get out of that cave. We have to block off the cave, or he’ll kill us Godzilla-style. He can cause wars. He can cause the entire world to blow itself up.
We also want the GOLD and the other minerals, so we will split into two groups. There are people who are just in it for the money, and there are people who are here to defeat the monster. One group will be trying to harvest the gold. The other is trying to stop the oily creature. BEWARE! The oily creature can trick many nations because it’s a shape-shifting creature.
It’s a good day to die … and be revived!
The Nameless, Dimitri the Revenant, The Knight, Dweller Eleven, The Mercenary, and Aukan Dawncaller were in it for the money.
Layla the Ninja, Patty the Teenage Spider, Fairyboy, The Last Survivor, Buzzsaw Aldrin, Victor Magnus Killian, and The Wanderer were true heroes of the realm ready to find the cave of the oily energy creature.
The miners report that they were making plans to go look for the gold, which they were fully intending to share with everyone (cough) when they were suddenly set upon by the heroes. Or the so-called heroes. The miners fled! They somehow managed to escape the heroes’ assault and reached the Mystical Isle where they were quickly surrounded. They somehow managed to escape again and escaped through the Silver Woods to the relative safety of the Dire Garden.
The miners were hard at work seeking their gold when they spied a few suspicious-looking adventurers hiking up the hill. Thinking they were heroes seeking to kill them, the miners fled again down the path into the Silver Woods and back to the Mystical Isle.
There, they were confronted by the suspicious-looking adventurers. And by confronted, I mean cornered with swords held at their throats. The miners were terrified. Quacking in their heavy steel-toed mining boots. As it turned out, these other adventurers were not blood-thirsty heroes but gold-digging miners just like them!
And then the monster struck and killed everyone.
After being revived, the weary band trudged together to the Faraway Leaf Inn to make plans for spending their gold and future mining operations.
