The Storyteller Speaks
There was a rift in time. People from different timelines clashed in a war. There were three sides. The Warriors of the North. The Soldiers of the East. And the Mercenaries who were paid in silver coins.
With the Warriors of the North were …
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.
Spade is kind of like Ace, who is Spade’s half-brother. Spade is ¼Dragon, ¼Phoenix, ½Magic. Spade’s grandfather on his dragon-phoenix side is the first dragon, also known as the Lightning Dragon. The Dragon gives Spade iron-like skin. The Phoenix gives Spade the ability to come back to life. The Magic gives Spade the appearance of a human. Both the Phoenix and the dragon give Spade more power in fire. He has the appearance of a 13-year-old human but is 1,859 years old. Spade’s memory of the past 1,846 years has vanished aside from a few scattered memories of his grandfather. He was fortunate to retain his magical skills although he does not recall how he came by them. Spade enjoys tossing fireballs and releasing souls from undead bodies. He is susceptible to water and cold. Water burns him, while cold slows him down. Ice is most damaging. Spade is cautious around humans but more outgoing than his half-brother, Ace. He is most comfortable around other magical beings.
Lockpad the Warrior is from the future where there was a freshwater war (which was after the oil war and the metal war, but that stuff’s all gone now).
With the Soldiers of the East were
Lord Grimfang is a 400-year-old vampire and a powerful blood mage who can use his vampiric abilities, which include healing himself when he damages targets with some forms of blood magic. He can also assume a mist form at will and see auras. He does not like fire, stakes, and dwarves. He hails from Castle Volkihar, off the northwest coast of Haafingar. He is a hunter and taskmaster for Lord Harkon. Lord Grimfang is 6.66 feet tall with very pale skin and yellow snakelike eyes. His hair is long and fabulous. He is cold and does not seem to have a sense of humor.
Creepy Bird is a former accomplice of Batman with high athletic ability and a sword but no superpowers. Creepy Bird is a human. It’s just a mask. She fell through one of Barry Allen’s time portals. She took an instant dislike to Lord Maul and hopes to see his defeat.
The Assassin with No Name has come to win. The Assassin is a human from Earth and of this time.

With the Mercenaries who were paid in silver coins were …
Layla the Ninja who 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.
Spider Jobs bears a striking resemblance to Steve Jobs, but he has a spider symbol. As the Son of Zaldar, he can summon the Demons of Zaldar.
The Wanderer is a seemingly ordinary enough human who is immune to gas weapons due to his superior technology.
The Storyteller who shared nothing more about himself.
The Warriors report
Spade observed that the Soldiers lied repeatedly about their actual location and thus successfully trolled the Warriors. Lockpad the Warrior spoke mournfully of a long cold journey in which the Soldiers walked across many island continents and during which many people starved of starvation and died of frostbite. Kildrath, Dispenser of Vengeance, reported that Zom Zom the Zombie didn’t get any kitties. In the end, no one won the war.
The Soldiers report
Lord Grimfang complained of the overuse of communications by the Warriors. Someone else noted that they a pretty good team as they successfully trolled the Warriors and never got caught. The Assassin with No Name reported that the soldiers didn’t succeed in actually killing anyone. Creepy Bird reported that she had reluctantly gone in the company of a group of trolls whose goal in life was to torment the Warriors to the extreme. These trolls figured that as long as the Warriors couldn’t find them, they had won. Creepy Bird was unconvinced, but they were trolls.
The Mercenaries report
Layla the Ninja observed that the Soldiers were sending mixed messages. And the Wanderer noted that they couldn’t find anyone to battle, and it was cold.
