Kingmaker Ep. 25: Hermits & Hodags

My mother always told me to help older folks, that they'd lived long lives and deserved respect. What does she expect me to do when the old man we just met in the woods is not only shrieking and cackling as he tries gut us with a sword, but also commanding his terrifying cryptid bull-dinosaur-lion monster thing to eat us alive?! En-route to scout out the villainous Kingdom of Trolls deep within the Western Woods, our heroes are ambushed by a mad hermit and his monstrous companion. Will they defe...

Kingmaker Ep. 26: Tyrants & Titans

For months, the Barony of Kilcela, a newfound nation of heroes and adventurers alike, has been harassed by a shadow of itself- Kongerike, the Kingdom of Monsters. Lead by Hargulka, the Troll King, Kongerike has sent wolves to hunt Kilcela's people, lizardfolk to kidnap its children and, most recently, attempted to invade and capture one of its towns. Today, Kilcela fights back. Leading an army to go free the captured slaves taken by the trolls, Baron Ichor Eteoclese, High Priestess Kaska Tanavin...

Winter comes to the Duchy of Kilcela, a rising nation starting to gain fame around the Stolen Lands for its victories against the beasts and bandits which once plagued its lands. From the hilltop city of St. Gilmorg, to the farming town of Fangberry and even the village of Monsters, Sootscale Hill, our heroes have a fine kingdom at their hands. But as the natural beauty of the cold months roll in, so too does the darkness of night- and when a harrowing message arrives informing the Duke, the Hig...

Knock knock! Anyone home? No? Huh. When a single house does this, it's a normal afternoon- the residents might be out having a picnic, going on a hike, practicing wizardry or something. But when a whole city has been completely abandoned, with no sign of a struggle or even a hint of where they might have gone aside from a single ominous word carved into the the door of an inn, something's definitely up. Our heroes have crossed into the nation of Varnhold to investigate why their neighbouring kin...

They say not to judge a book by its cover, but maybe they should also say not to judge a gnome by its height! Our heroes have come across a camp of ghastly Spriggans- grey skinned, hairless gnomes with a tendency to make mountains out of molehills- and switch their sizes up to match! Are these deceitful foes the ones who caused everyone in the city of Varnhold to vanish? If so, how! Why! Where did they put them? But one question looms over the others- who is this Supreme Leader they're all terri...

The Butler did it! Mystery solved! If only it was that easy. Our anxiety-ridden explorers search for answers in their ongoing investigation into the Varnhold Vanishing, armed with precious little knowledge, some shoddy testimony from unreliable faerie sources and an awful nightmare- not exactly the best clues in the world. As such, our heroes are tracking down the most likely suspects- an evil cannibal cult of an old centaur god?! There really is no such thing as an easy adventure these days, hu...

A lonely log cabin, isolated in the middle of a mountain range, not far from the site of a mass disappearance. Anyone who's watched horror movies ever should know to be wary of some place like this. Thankfully, horror movies weren't around in Fantasy Times! Yeehaw! The Kingmakers have encountered an unusual new friend- because hey, we've already gone so far, why not add a feral child to the mix? But as they take a second to hide away in this abandoned lodge, rather than answer questions, all of ...

But after meeting a particularly unusual, plane-hopping ally in Zzamas the Phase Spider, an enormous arachnid with a human head and promises of treasure, they now find themselves face to face with an even more unusual foe- the gruesome Xill, alien monstrosities with jaws, claws and a real bad attitude!

They say that there's no place like home, and you know what? Whoever said that was right. After fighting horrific soul eating Daemons, alien bug-monsters and living shadows, the Kingmakers are getting mighty worn out by all this terror and torture. Now as the snow of winter starts to come down and our heroes must trek into the forbidden canyons of the Valley of the Dead, they must face even more gruesome foes. How long until we can go home again? Not until we solve the mystery that brought us he...

Our heroes must delve into the tomb hidden in a tall rock formation hidden deep in the mountains on the trail of the populace of the entire vanished city of Varnhold. Could this be where they went? What brought them here, to an isolated island deep in the treacherous cyclopse gravelands? A veritable tomb of horrors awaits these daring adventurers a...

An ancient, beyond powerful foe has risen, and with occult power that dwarfs our heroes by leagues, and if they don't do something to stop it, Kilcela and the rest of the world could be next. The undead menace of Vordakai, Cyclops Lich and King of a Crumbled Empire, demands their subjugatio...

Tourism is doing pretty good too.

You know how the traditional saying goes- when someone sends an invasion force to conquer a small town on the border of our kingdom, we need to find out who's behind it, why they did it and how to stop them from doing it again. What, nobody says that? Well, they should! The Kingmakers are saddling up for an expedition into the Hooktongue Slough to investigate a mad baron, an undying barbarian and a clan of boggards so that they can defend the Duchy of Kilcela from further attack. With escorts fr...

Culture Shock! Whenever you visit a new place, you're bound to find a few customs you're unused to. But what's with everyone here in the swamp trying to drown us to please their assorted gods? Our heroes venture deeper into the murky Hooktongue Sloughs to investigate a barony conquered by barbarians and a clan of frogfolk that have been attacking travelers on the roads to their kingdom. But first, they must overcome some of the hazards of the marshes- such as a trio of hideous bog mummy clerics ...

A mission of intrigue requires everything to go right. It takes skills, guts, and stealth to get in and out without being spotted. Or, alternatively, you could be infiltrating the caves of some grossly incompetent Boggards who have no real idea what they're doing. The Kingmakers wish for an audience with the Demon-worshipping Priest King Sopoko, and they don't want a fight- but unfortunately for them, the Boggards of the swamp village of M'Bottu certainly do, and their surprisingly vicious frog ...

Usually that means offering to listen to someone's interests, maybe buy them a nice cake or something- but in the case of the Cruel, Swamp-Dwelling Goggard worshipers of a demon goddess, it's not so easy! Our heroes find themselves fighting off the cruel naga which had bewitched the priest-king of the Boggards in order to gain their favour and bring peace to the marshes- but honestly, can we just settle for knitting ...

But what about more complex problems, like sneaking into a barbarian infested town where everyone is looking to kill you? Swords won't fix that. Unless..?

The time to topple the Mad Baron of Fort Drelev is drawing near, and the Kingmakers must infiltrate his keep to depose him and the crooked nobility he lavishes with instead of saving his barony from the vicious barbarians that overrun it.

The Kingmakers face off against a coven of Annis Hags and their wicked leader, Betty Rustfingers, in the cellar beneath the Drelev Keep. But who else resides in this castle of creeps? Giants? Guards?
