The LARP started on the Field of Destiny. The adventurers were under assault by Boreas, the frigid and cruel god of the north winds, yet still they had a mission. Huddled together in the freezing cold were the following brave souls:
Ace, a ¼ Dragon, ¼ Phoenix, ½ Human hybrid. The Dragon gives Ace wings, which he keeps hidden, and the ability to breathe within fire and to breath fire out as a weapon. The Phoenix allows Ace the power to come back to life, to change the size of his dragon wings and his height, and to ignite himself on fire. The Human gives Ace the appearance of a 14-year-old human, although he is 2,004 years old. Ace is damaged by ice, water and cold, and so avoids all three. Despite his dislike of these elements, Ace has traveled to the Realm of the Silver Elves with news of a great quest.
Alfred Punkerknackle, who said he would say who he was later.
Gorn, a very powerful gladiator with a very short temper. When he is angry, he will target you. He will shove anyone out of his way. He is really strong and has more health, but he flees from the cold.
The Outcast. No one knows who he is. He never shows his face. He only shoots when necessary.
The soldier Tosh. That is all.
Tank Master Rok with his rocket axe. Tank Master Rok thought that sticking rockets on an axe was a good idea. He has lots of health and shields but he cannot run fast.
Kildrath, Dispenser of Vengeance, is the reincarnation of Cephalax Deathflame. Cephalax, in the service of Lord Maul, was assassinated by a group of rebels opposing him. His soul found its way into post-Imperial Star Wars and united with the ashes of Darth Vader. Kildrath is a barbaric chieftain who inherited Cephalax’s spellcasting powers and Darth Vader’s force abilities. He inherited Cephalax’s fear of death.
Storyteller Ace Speaks
Ace had heard of the white nuggets of Dragon Nutmeg, a Magical Spice of Knowledge from which one could gain the knowledge needed to defeat Lord Maul’s army. Ace had a map showing where fields of Dragon Nutmeg might be found.
It is a good day to die and be revived.
One of those potential fields was the Field of Destiny which was searched in vain until fingers started to fall off. Ace found evidence of powerful magic at work, for snow remained on the ground where the sun beat against it with all its might and no possibility of shelter from its fiery blaze was near, while in the shadows, the cold snow had all melted away.
As Alfred Punkerknackle was unable to reattach the frozen appendages, a fingerless Gorn was dropped off at the Faraway Leaf Inn to be tended by the Wise Mothers of the Hot Chocolate. The adventurers, now one less in number, trekked down the Shimmering Alley and over the Somber Footbridge to the Mystical Isle. After a fruitless search for the magic spice, Alfred Punkerknackle cast a scrying spell and discovered that the map had misled them. The growing conditions on the Mystical Isle were not favorable for Dragon Nutmeg.
The Adventurers trekked across the Somber Footbridge, fending of multiple assaults by Boreas. On the other side, they found The Wanderer a seemingly ordinary enough human who is immune to gas weapons due to his superior technology. He joined their search.
The stopped at the Always Changing Structure to discover a Scrying Glass powered by Nature Magic. The each peered through. Some saw their friends, fractured, broken and multiplied. Others saw eagles and grasshoppers and leaves. Alfred Punkerknackle did not know what to make of any of it, so they continued to follow Ace’s map.
A long while later, they reached the Vagabond Nest. While they stopped to rest, an old gardener wandered past but no one thought anything of it at the time. Tank Master Rok fended off multiple ogre attacks while the other adventurers searched the area around Vagabond Nest for Dragon Nutmeg.
Suddenly, the Old Gardener returned, franticly shouting that Lord Maul’s minions had set upon her in her garden and stolen her basket of Dragon Nutmeg. However, she’d managed to strike the thieves as they fled the Dire Garden, and they had dropped the basket which was made of unbreakable foggy glass and the size of a very small cantaloupe. The Outcast warned the group that the Old Gardener could not be trusted, but she seemed such a kindly and frail old thing that no one paid him any mind. Besides she needed help, and they were heroes. And also, Dragon Nutmeg.
The adventurers charged off to find the dropped basket of Dragon Nutmeg. Upon reaching the Dire Garden, they scattered and began searching desperately. The Outcast continued to warn the others that the Old Gardener could not be trusted, but no one listened. The Old Gardener arrived to give advice, telling the adventurers which way the thieves had fled. They concentrated their search there and soon The Forgotten shouted, “I have it!” The group descended upon The Forgotten snatching up the white nuggets of Dragon Nutmeg and scarfing them down.
Suddenly they heard the Old Gardener laughing evilly. “You fools!” She cackled, “The Dragon Nutmeg has been cursed by my Lord Maul! No longer shall you see friends, but only enemies!”
Shocked to find themselves surrounded by enemies with no allies in sight, the adventurers set up each other and fought to the death, except for The Outcast who was used to being friendless. He hid and waited to ambush the others from the shadows.
Alfred Punkerknackle then revived himself and all the dead and was pleased to find that the curse was lifted upon revival.
Weary from dying and reviving, the adventurers trekked down to the Faraway Leaf Inn to brew over battle plans for the future.
