Kel: /* Going to see Mardi G */

== Marvel 2033 - One Shots ==

These games take place on Earth-2033, but are outside of the 'core' game.

===Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Students===
* GM'd by Kel
* Players are all students at Xavier's School for Gifted Students in Westchester, NY.
* Kitty Pryde is the current Headmistress.
* Ororo Munroe (Storm) is a teacher at the school. She teaches history to the PC's and maybe other classes.

'''Current X-Men Roster'''

* Shadowcat
* Longshot
* Wolverine (Laura)
* Magik
* Iceman
* (Notably, Storm is [[not]] a member of the current X-Men roster.)

'''SHIELD'''
* Olivia Hill - Maria Hill's daughter. Like a sister to Nikolai
* Tim (?) Dugan - Nikolai's SHIELD contact

===Student Attendance===

* Tank - [Soldier] (played by Micah) - Nikolai Petrovich is a clone of former X-Men member Colossus (Piotr Nikolayevich Rasputin) created by Mister Sinister, but rescued and raised by SHIELD (largely by Agent Maria Hill).
* Chrysalis - [Newborn] (played by Derek) - Chris Alex's powers manifested during the teams first mission
* Chinook - [Nova] (played by Ryan) - Trevor (last name is native American) - air powers, destroyed a major local bridge in the team's first mission
* Sabre - [Delinquent] (played by Adrienne) - Callie Ferguson is the daughter of Blink, a sometimes X-Men ally. Callie's really not into the whole 'school' thing, she's much rather travel the world.

'''Other Students at the School'''
* Mason - A popular kid, he's good-looking, charismatic, and enjoys being the center of attention. Flight capabilities and sparkly.
* Lucia - Really, really strong and proud of it.
* Hugo - Very smart, asks a lot of questions. Mutant power of technopathy.
* Charlotte - Sweet and shy, has slight chameleon powers that make her a fairly literal wallflower.

===Going to see Mardi G===
(Sept. 22, 2018)

* Team has a training session in the DangerRoom against the Marauders. The simulation is the Mutant Massacre. They do well enough and earn praise from Professor K.
* Attend history, classmate Charlotte is publically humiliated after popular boy Mason rejects her invitation to go to the Mardi G concert which she has tickets for, despite being warned by Chris that she probably shouldn't. Before class starts, competitive girl, Lucia tells Nikolai she has broken the bench-pressing record previously-held by him. To prove her wrong that she is better than him, Nikolai has an arm-wrestling match with Lucia, which he loses (causing Trevor to lose money to Mason).
* In the common room between classes, the newsfeed is alive with the fact that Mardi G is in the midst of a very public feud with mutant hip-hop star Vicky Mirage. Some of Mardi's rhetoric feels anti-mutant.
* Chris Alex has a soft spot for Charlotte and tries to comfort her after her rejection. Charlotte wistfully expresses that she wished that Alex 'was always a boy'.
* After school, the rivalry between Nikolai and Lucia continues, but this time, Nikolai wins as he manages to benchpress a little more than Lucia's new school record.
* The students become aware that the X-Men are mobilizing to the Blackbird, because word had reached them that Mystique and her crew were going to cause an incident in Washington DC. Professor K tells the kids to stay behind and basically lock-down the school.
* Callie, who also has tickets to the Mardi G concert, convinces her teammates that they should go because Charlotte could already be there (Callie was correct, Charlotte was indeed already there), and there might be trouble due to Mardi G's anti-mutant sentiment. (But really, Callie just wants to go to the concert.)
* At the concert, trouble does indeed arrive, as a group called Mutant Power (comprised of Queen B, Princess Pounder, Surf Lord, and an unnamed shapeshifter) disrupt the proceedings. A fight ensues, but Mutant Power is defeated and Mardi G is saved (and gains a new fan in Trevor whom she also has some affection for). This likely leads Mardi G to re-think her feelings towards mutants.
* The team returns to the school and Callie manages to convince Professor K that none of them should be punished.
* However, all might not be well as it seems the shapeshifter is at the hospital with Mardi G...

===Places of Importance===

* Lower East Side. The neighborhood in southeast Manhattan where the characters live. In the early 2000s it was becoming highly gentrified, but as the century progressed a number of local people, including Ben Grimm (who had grown up on Yancy St), fought to keep the local character as much as possible and ensure some lower and middle class housing would still be available. It is now a highly diverse neighborhood, with both native New Yorkers (of all ethnicities) and recent immigrants (some not even from Earth!) living boisterously side by side.
* Barrack Obama Community High School. Formerly East Side Community High School. The school all of the characters attend.
* Future Foundation. The organization set up by Reed and Sue Richards to maintain his patents and better the human condition. Currently ran by Franklin Richards while his father is away.
* [[The Warehouse]]. A warehouse owned but mostly forgotten by the Future Foundation on the East River in Brooklyn, across from the Lower East Side and near the Brooklyn terminus of the Williamsburg Bridge. Stores many pieces of "obsolete" (by the standards of Reed Richards) technology. There is, of course, a small underground train to the Warehouse from Ben Grimm's townhouse.
* Aurora Integrated Measurements. A medium sized high technology laboratory in Lower East Side, where Beth's mother works and Beth is an intern. Interestingly, the logo of the lab is an abstract stylized flying insect, maybe a bumblebee? Maybe a wasp? Maybe a yellowjacket? Hard to tell.
* The Dugan Memorial Holding Facility, aka the Fridge. A joint SHIELD/UN secure facility deep underground with an entrance at the small island once known as Belmont or U Thant Island in the river near the United Nations complex. Currently holding a number of important alleged war criminals who pose special security problems, such as Erik Killmonger and Princess Zanda.
* The Barber Shop. A speakeasy in a basement on 3rd Street on the Lower East Side frequented by all kinds of shadowy types looking for a place to relax. Gramps frequents it, and used to take Todd there a lot, until Grams put her foot down and he had to do it secret-like. It is completely non-descript, with only a small red and blue striped barber pole tucked in next to the basement door, and a small printed sign on the door that reads (handwritten additions are in italics):
{| border = "1"
|'''NO: guns, knives, bows''' ''hammers, boomerangs, throwing stars, nunchuks, weird oriental poking/slicing things of any kind, lasers (unless internal), nuclear/biological/chemical wpns, JUST NO WEAPONS DAMNIT YOU KNOW WHAT A WEAPON IS, JESUS!'','''LMD's''' ''this means you Fury'', '''politics, vendettas, fighting (except in the back)''' ''Two more heads might take your place, but we have a special trashcan in the back for yours
|}

* The Blue Grotto - a martini bar, somewhat old-school haunt of some gangsters including Eddie Rimes. Doorman is Devon "Shoot". Has a smoker's speakeasy in the basement. Has a Mermaid.
* Old Avengers Mansion Museum
* The Microverse - A microscopic universe full of strange planets like the human-inhabited Homeworld which is made up of diverse spherical habitats that are linked together in the fashion of a molecular chain, lush jungle world Kaliklak (resembling a large atom) where the dominant species is the insect-like Insectivorids, and the now-devastated planet Spartak (resembling a molecule with only a pair of atoms, but with enormous spike-like mountains emerging from all sides) former home planet of the race of Acroyears. The Microverse is separated from the Macroverse (Earth) by a barrier referred to as The Spacewall which is difficult to traverse without the correct technology. Normally, natives of the Microverse who pierce the Spacewall to reach Earth (and those who used Dr. Phillip Prometheus' "Prometheus Pit" at Human Engineering Life Laboratories (H.E.L.L.)) arrive the size of action figures, their vehicles the size of toys. Natives of Earth arrive in the Microverse as giants. Other methods may or may not possess this limitation, such as Reed Richards' Reducta-Craft which allowed three members of the Fantastic Four to enter the Microverse at the same size as the inhabitants. Myrmidon's Battle Cruiser appears to combine both relative size modes, allowing the ship and its crew/passengers to be either the same size as their Earth counterparts or the size of action figures/toys. The Acroyears still cruise through the Microverse as refugees in their fleet of space arks. The status of Kaliklak and Homeworld in the current year have not yet been established.
* Sixth Dimension - contains Hydropolis, the city built by Hydra Failsafe Unit 5. Now under UN control, causing major international incidents.
* 1005 Walpurt Stree Apt 29 - an apartment in Brooklyn, home to Sam Revere (aka Steve Rogers).

===Other Items/Things of Interest===

* ST: "ST" stands for SentaiToku, a messaging/chat/information sharing app with incredibly tight security used by various super-hero types, mostly younger, as a social media platform. You get into the network by invitation only through a "vouching" mechanism, where the more existing longer-term users vouch for you, the more access you have. Originally designed by students at the Pan-Asian School for the Unusually Gifted under the tutorship of Hiro Takachiho (the designer of Baymax), it has spread world-wide. Not approved by SHIELD, the Avengers, or most anyone else who could be considered a parental figure. "ST" is often used as a verb, as in "ST me the deets and I'll get those weapon specs for you", or "I ST'ed White Tiger to see if she wanted to go out, but she invisibled me."
* Teen Titans Vol 10, #28 - the last issue written by Neil Gaiman before his retirement. Pencils by Sam Revere.

==The Story==

===Regionals===
(Feb. 24, 2018)
* Live from Madison Square Gardens in NYC, it's the Unlimited Class High School Martial Arts Eastern Regionals!
* Myrmidon and his team from NYC are in the locker room, getting themselves psyched up, and meeting some of their competition.
* Beth and Evie arrive at MSG, where Evie is immediately singled out by Sasha, one of the popular girls at Obama High, for not telling everyone who Evie is. The popular girls ignore Beth. Evie manages to deftly evade both Sasha's questions and her invitation to hang out after the competition.
* Peter and his Uncle Ben are already in their seats in MSG, waiting for the action to start.
* Peter runs into a gaggle of girls who want to hang out with him after the event. Peter is oblivious to the implications.
* In the crowd, both Absorbing Man (Beth's father), and his ex-wife, Titania, are spotted. They are both cheering on a young contestant named Marsha MacPhernan.
* Beth tells Creel that she is his daughter. He doesn't handle the news particularly well.
* Marsha gets injured in her one of her fights, causing Creel to crash into the locker room looking for revenge on her opponent, Tutenax.
* Things get ugly in the locker room, where Tutenax and Absorbing Man are about to fight, with Evie, Beth and Peter trying to keep things from escalating.
* Creel is convinced to leave, but it turns out Tutenax is actually a jerk.
* Evie ends up incurring popular-girl Sasha's wrath when Sasha spies Evie giving Peter a hug (it was a thank you hug and not anything more. Honest...)
* Myrmidon makes his way through his opponents, winning his first match handily, earning the respect of various notable people, and eventually taking down Tutenax.
* The New York team wins the tournament.
* After the competition, Myrmidon, Peter, Evie, and Beth go hang out with a bunch of kids from various schools (including Hilde's Asgardian-by-way-of-Earth brothers, Kevin and Mick), where Beth introduces herself to her half-sister, Marsha.

===The Age of Rama-Tut===
(March 24, 2018)
* The scene opens on the gigantic pyramids of New Heliopolis, the city formerly known as New York City.
* Nomad is a slave, working on the latest pyramid monument to the Pharaoh. She just killed one of the slave overseers. She decides running is preferable to being a slave.
* Shimmer is robbing a bank with her father, the Absorbing Man. They make off with a large amount of gold but split up to avoid being captured. They agree they'll meet back at the Temple of Loki. Shimmer is almost caught by the police, but manages to smooth talk her way out.
* The Hood is being briefed by his grandfather, Head of Security G.W. Bridge. They speak about a plan to assassinate a group of dignitaries from a MicroVerse, who are to meet with the Pharaoh.
* Speaking of those dignitaries, Prince Myrmidon and his father, King Acroyear, emerge from a Prometheus Pit, and are welcomed by the Pharaoh. Myrmidon notices a bas-relief depicting the Pharaoh fighting and killing people who the readers would recognize as the Fantastic Four. It also shows that Rama-Tut is (of course) the Pharaoh.
* Positron finds himself in a weird place, surrounded by fog and no idea how he got here. He is attacked by a space phantom (who had been impersonating Peter's mother), who wants to take Peter to meet the phantom's 'Master'. Peter beats on the phantom and then agrees to meet the master.
* Nomad tries to recover the one item she has left from her life before she became a slave; a shield. It's hidden in the Central Square, which, unfortunately for Evie, is currently filled with people who have come to see the delegation of Acroyears. Evie starts a riot in the crowd so she can recover her shield unnoticed. But for some reason, she and Myrmidon lock eyes and both get a weird feeling.
* Shimmer returns to the Temple of Loki, but realizes her father hasn't made it back yet. Myrmidon decides to leave his far too opulent guest rooms and go explore New Heliopolis for himself.
* The Hood realizes that the proposed assassination will end up also killing thousands of civilians and will probably start a rebellion against Rama-Tut's rule. However, Todd also likes how important he is and all the authority he has in this reality.
* Peter meets up with Immortus, insults and gloating commence, but the outcome is that Peter is told he does not exist in this reality, he must save his family from being killed by Rama-Tut in ancient Egypt. Peter goes all explodey again and creates an exit for himself out of Limbo. "Never give a Richards five uninterrupted minutes with access to a computer."
* Evie helps Absorbing Man in his fight against a Servitor, with Beth showing up right at the end. Beth and Evie share a weird feeling like they should know one another. All three enter the Temple of Loki.
* Myrmidon, hearing the fight against the Servitor, sees the three leaving the scene, and decides to follow them. Unbeknownst to him, Todd has also been following Myrmidon, as he should not be AWOL from the palace. The two meet up just outside the Temple of Loki and proceed to get into a disagreement. This gives the Temple time for everyone to evacuate.
* Peter gets a device from Immortus that will allow him to exist outside of Limbo. He finally leaves Limbo to meet up with the others. While this device does tether him to reality again, it also makes Peter exist in every time simultaneously, so Peter is constantly shifting between all the possible versions of himself.
* Peter shows up at the Temple, calls Nomad and Shimmer by their names, and basically explains what's wrong and that they have to stop Rama-Tut from killing his family, the Avengers (who shouldn't be there), and Doctor Strange (who also shouldn't be there).
* The team, using Myrmidon's battlecruiser and Evie's research, infiltrate the Throne Room so they can get close enough to Rama-Tut's time machine (that happens to be the Sphinx). Peter gets to the controls and takes them all back to ancient Egypt, where he promptly takes off to rescue his family. Todd and Myrmidon go to assist him, while Beth goes to rescue Doctor Strange and Evie goes to rescue the Avengers (because she remembers 'Uncle' Clint telling her something about this adventure). Everyone has their memories of the 'correct' timeline back now.
* Fights ensue, adults are saved from death, it is discovered that this all came about because of something to do with Todd and the acolytes of the god Konshu. Beth and Doctor Strange have a good conversation (Beth even allows him to read her mind).
* The team returns to the present to find the timeline restored and they celebrate a job well done.

===The Do-Over===
(April 28, 2018)

*After returning from Ancient Egypt where they corrected the Rama-Tut infected timeline, the team finds themselves back in the Warehouse. However... they discover that it appears to be a week earlier than they left; it is the morning after Regionals again.
* This means that Peter receives a worried call from his Uncle Ben, and Beth receives a worried call from her mother. Both are in trouble for staying out all night. Peter is able to escape any punishment by simply explaining that there was time travel involved. But Beth's mother saw that Creel was at the wrestling and is freaked out.
* Basically, the team knows that the Priests of Konshu had a 'voodoo doll' of Earth, and they were going to do a ritual to make Earth more 'just'. This somehow opened the door for Rama-Tut to change the timeline. The kids now realize that they have to stop the Priests from doing their ritual, which is scheduled to happen that night.
* So in the meantime, before the ritual is due to happen, the boys (Peter, Myrmidon, and Todd) go to Uncle Ben's for pancakes, (Myrmidon is adored by the general public along the way) and the girls (Beth and Evie) go to face down Beth's mom.
* Beth had previously managed to keep the fact that Creel had been at Regionals from her mother, but her mother now knows and is basically wanting to bolt. Evie does what she can to try and smooth out the situation, but after Beth has an explosive conversation with her mother and a not very helpful one with her Uncle James, Beth does tell her mother that Creel knows Beth is his daughter. This leads to another explosive argument (which is where Evie, after cooking a delicious breakfast for everyone, decides to make herself scarce). Beth and her mother come to a truce and sit down to eat together. Beth does NOT tell her mother about her powers.
* Evie and Peter meet up so she can help him pass his auto-shop test AGAIN (and was there perhaps a moment of disappointment on her face when she saw Peter wasn't alone? Maaaayybe.) She helps him understand the internal combustion engine by 'translating' it into more complex terms that Peter will get. While this is happening, Myrmidon and Todd spar and get testosterone everywhere.
* Peter then sciences the heck out of things, including making Cap's shield shrink down so that Evie can carry it unobtrusively with her at all times.
* Beth makes the important discovery that Dr. Strange is still alive, indicating that this timeline is not exactly the same as the one they left.
* It is time for the meeting, so the team heads for the old mansion where they know the meeting is taking place. The Hood is welcomed by the current Moon Knight (formerly known as Night Thrasher) and meets the High Priest of Konshu, Marc Spectre, the original Moon Knight. The Hood had previously made a very good impression on them, and they are happy to welcome him into their ranks.
* Things do not go the way they previously did.
* The Hood and Marc Spectre have a battle royale in the ballroom, with Myrmidon in the Battle Cruiser wreaking havoc by unleashing the Enigma Force on the whole battle zone, creating an illusion of a gigantic opera house, filled with an audience of Acroyears. Meanwhile Shimmer, Positron, and Nomad head to take care of the Un-Earth. Which turns out to be an anti-matter bomb. That Positron now has to defuse.
* Oh and there are some AIM guys and they have a M.O.D.O.K in a cage. Which Nomad then frees. After it kindly kills the AIM guys so that Positron can concentrate on the bomb, the M.O.D.O.K, of course, tries to flee so it can launch its own nefarious plans, but fortunately, Shimmer traps it again and she and Nomad get it back into its cage.
* By the end of the night, the Un-Earth bomb is defused, M.O.D.O.K is recaptured, Marc Spectre is dealt with and the timeline seems... Ok?

===Places of Importance===

* Lower East Side. The neighborhood in southeast Manhattan where the characters live. In the early 2000s it was becoming highly gentrified, but as the century progressed a number of local people, including Ben Grimm (who had grown up on Yancy St), fought to keep the local character as much as possible and ensure some lower and middle class housing would still be available. It is now a highly diverse neighborhood, with both native New Yorkers (of all ethnicities) and recent immigrants (some not even from Earth!) living boisterously side by side.
* Barrack Obama Community High School. Formerly East Side Community High School. The school all of the characters attend.
* Future Foundation. The organization set up by Reed and Sue Richards to maintain his patents and better the human condition. Currently ran by Franklin Richards while his father is away.
* [[The Warehouse]]. A warehouse owned but mostly forgotten by the Future Foundation on the East River in Brooklyn, across from the Lower East Side and near the Brooklyn terminus of the Williamsburg Bridge. Stores many pieces of "obsolete" (by the standards of Reed Richards) technology. There is, of course, a small underground train to the Warehouse from Ben Grimm's townhouse.
* Aurora Integrated Measurements. A medium sized high technology laboratory in Lower East Side, where Beth's mother works and Beth is an intern. Interestingly, the logo of the lab is an abstract stylized flying insect, maybe a bumblebee? Maybe a wasp? Maybe a yellowjacket? Hard to tell.
* The Dugan Memorial Holding Facility, aka the Fridge. A joint SHIELD/UN secure facility deep underground with an entrance at the small island once known as Belmont or U Thant Island in the river near the United Nations complex. Currently holding a number of important alleged war criminals who pose special security problems, such as Erik Killmonger and Princess Zanda.
* The Barber Shop. A speakeasy in a basement on 3rd Street on the Lower East Side frequented by all kinds of shadowy types looking for a place to relax. Gramps frequents it, and used to take Todd there a lot, until Grams put her foot down and he had to do it secret-like. It is completely non-descript, with only a small red and blue striped barber pole tucked in next to the basement door, and a small printed sign on the door that reads (handwritten additions are in italics):
{| border = "1"
|'''NO: guns, knives, bows''' ''hammers, boomerangs, throwing stars, nunchuks, weird oriental poking/slicing things of any kind, lasers (unless internal), nuclear/biological/chemical wpns, JUST NO WEAPONS DAMNIT YOU KNOW WHAT A WEAPON IS, JESUS!'','''LMD's''' ''this means you Fury'', '''politics, vendettas, fighting (except in the back)''' ''Two more heads might take your place, but we have a special trashcan in the back for yours
|}

* The Blue Grotto - a martini bar, somewhat old-school haunt of some gangsters including Eddie Rimes. Doorman is Devon "Shoot". Has a smoker's speakeasy in the basement. Has a Mermaid.
* Old Avengers Mansion Museum
* The Microverse - A microscopic universe full of strange planets like the human-inhabited Homeworld which is made up of diverse spherical habitats that are linked together in the fashion of a molecular chain, lush jungle world Kaliklak (resembling a large atom) where the dominant species is the insect-like Insectivorids, and the now-devastated planet Spartak (resembling a molecule with only a pair of atoms, but with enormous spike-like mountains emerging from all sides) former home planet of the race of Acroyears. The Microverse is separated from the Macroverse (Earth) by a barrier referred to as The Spacewall which is difficult to traverse without the correct technology. Normally, natives of the Microverse who pierce the Spacewall to reach Earth (and those who used Dr. Phillip Prometheus' "Prometheus Pit" at Human Engineering Life Laboratories (H.E.L.L.)) arrive the size of action figures, their vehicles the size of toys. Natives of Earth arrive in the Microverse as giants. Other methods may or may not possess this limitation, such as Reed Richards' Reducta-Craft which allowed three members of the Fantastic Four to enter the Microverse at the same size as the inhabitants. Myrmidon's Battle Cruiser appears to combine both relative size modes, allowing the ship and its crew/passengers to be either the same size as their Earth counterparts or the size of action figures/toys. The Acroyears still cruise through the Microverse as refugees in their fleet of space arks. The status of Kaliklak and Homeworld in the current year have not yet been established.
* Sixth Dimension - contains Hydropolis, the city built by Hydra Failsafe Unit 5. Now under UN control, causing major international incidents.
* 1005 Walpurt Stree Apt 29 - an apartment in Brooklyn, home to Sam Revere (aka Steve Rogers).

===Other Items/Things of Interest===

* ST: "ST" stands for SentaiToku, a messaging/chat/information sharing app with incredibly tight security used by various super-hero types, mostly younger, as a social media platform. You get into the network by invitation only through a "vouching" mechanism, where the more existing longer-term users vouch for you, the more access you have. Originally designed by students at the Pan-Asian School for the Unusually Gifted under the tutorship of Hiro Takachiho (the designer of Baymax), it has spread world-wide. Not approved by SHIELD, the Avengers, or most anyone else who could be considered a parental figure. "ST" is often used as a verb, as in "ST me the deets and I'll get those weapon specs for you", or "I ST'ed White Tiger to see if she wanted to go out, but she invisibled me."
* Teen Titans Vol 10, #28 - the last issue written by Neil Gaiman before his retirement. Pencils by Sam Revere.

==The Story==

===When they first met===

===Regionals===
(Feb. 24, 2018)
* Live from Madison Square Gardens in NYC, it's the Unlimited Class High School Martial Arts Eastern Regionals!
* Myrmidon and his team from NYC are in the locker room, getting themselves psyched up, and meeting some of their competition.
* Beth and Evie arrive at MSG, where Evie is immediately singled out by Sasha, one of the popular girls at Obama High, for not telling everyone who Evie is. The popular girls ignore Beth. Evie manages to deftly evade both Sasha's questions and her invitation to hang out after the competition.
* Peter and his Uncle Ben are already in their seats in MSG, waiting for the action to start.
* Peter runs into a gaggle of girls who want to hang out with him after the event. Peter is oblivious to the implications.
* In the crowd, both Absorbing Man (Beth's father), and his ex-wife, Titania, are spotted. They are both cheering on a young contestant named Marsha MacPhernan.
* Beth tells Creel that she is his daughter. He doesn't handle the news particularly well.
* Marsha gets injured in her one of her fights, causing Creel to crash into the locker room looking for revenge on her opponent, Tutenax.
* Things get ugly in the locker room, where Tutenax and Absorbing Man are about to fight, with Evie, Beth and Peter trying to keep things from escalating.
* Creel is convinced to leave, but it turns out Tutenax is actually a jerk.
* Evie ends up incurring popular-girl Sasha's wrath when Sasha spies Evie giving Peter a hug (it was a thank you hug and not anything more. Honest...)
* Myrmidon makes his way through his opponents, winning his first match handily, earning the respect of various notable people, and eventually taking down Tutenax.
* The New York team wins the tournament.
* After the competition, Myrmidon, Peter, Evie, and Beth go hang out with a bunch of kids from various schools (including Hilde's Asgardian-by-way-of-Earth brothers, Kevin and Mick), where Beth introduces herself to her half-sister, Marsha.

===The Age of Rama-Tut===
(March 24, 2018)
* The scene opens on the gigantic pyramids of New Heliopolis, the city formerly known as New York City.
* Nomad is a slave, working on the latest pyramid monument to the Pharaoh. She just killed one of the slave overseers. She decides running is preferable to being a slave.
* Shimmer is robbing a bank with her father, the Absorbing Man. They make off with a large amount of gold but split up to avoid being captured. They agree they'll meet back at the Temple of Loki. Shimmer is almost caught by the police, but manages to smooth talk her way out.
* The Hood is being briefed by his grandfather, Head of Security G.W. Bridge. They speak about a plan to assassinate a group of dignitaries from a MicroVerse, who are to meet with the Pharaoh.
* Speaking of those dignitaries, Prince Myrmidon and his father, King Acroyear, emerge from a Prometheus Pit, and are welcomed by the Pharaoh. Myrmidon notices a bas-relief depicting the Pharaoh fighting and killing people who the readers would recognize as the Fantastic Four. It also shows that Rama-Tut is (of course) the Pharaoh.
* Positron finds himself in a weird place, surrounded by fog and no idea how he got here. He is attacked by a space phantom (who had been impersonating Peter's mother), who wants to take Peter to meet the phantom's 'Master'. Peter beats on the phantom and then agrees to meet the master.
* Nomad tries to recover the one item she has left from her life before she became a slave; a shield. It's hidden in the Central Square, which, unfortunately for Evie, is currently filled with people who have come to see the delegation of Acroyears. Evie starts a riot in the crowd so she can recover her shield unnoticed. But for some reason, she and Myrmidon lock eyes and both get a weird feeling.
* Shimmer returns to the Temple of Loki, but realizes her father hasn't made it back yet. Myrmidon decides to leave his far too opulent guest rooms and go explore New Heliopolis for himself.
* The Hood realizes that the proposed assassination will end up also killing thousands of civilians and will probably start a rebellion against Rama-Tut's rule. However, Todd also likes how important he is and all the authority he has in this reality.
* Peter meets up with Immortus, insults and gloating commence, but the outcome is that Peter is told he does not exist in this reality, he must save his family from being killed by Rama-Tut in ancient Egypt. Peter goes all explodey again and creates an exit for himself out of Limbo. "Never give a Richards five uninterrupted minutes with access to a computer."
* Evie helps Absorbing Man in his fight against a Servitor, with Beth showing up right at the end. Beth and Evie share a weird feeling like they should know one another. All three enter the Temple of Loki.
* Myrmidon, hearing the fight against the Servitor, sees the three leaving the scene, and decides to follow them. Unbeknownst to him, Todd has also been following Myrmidon, as he should not be AWOL from the palace. The two meet up just outside the Temple of Loki and proceed to get into a disagreement. This gives the Temple time for everyone to evacuate.
* Peter gets a device from Immortus that will allow him to exist outside of Limbo. He finally leaves Limbo to meet up with the others. While this device does tether him to reality again, it also makes Peter exist in every time simultaneously, so Peter is constantly shifting between all the possible versions of himself.
* Peter shows up at the Temple, calls Nomad and Shimmer by their names, and basically explains what's wrong and that they have to stop Rama-Tut from killing his family, the Avengers (who shouldn't be there), and Doctor Strange (who also shouldn't be there).
* The team, using Myrmidon's battlecruiser and Evie's research, infiltrate the Throne Room so they can get close enough to Rama-Tut's time machine (that happens to be the Sphinx). Peter gets to the controls and takes them all back to ancient Egypt, where he promptly takes off to rescue his family. Todd and Myrmidon go to assist him, while Beth goes to rescue Doctor Strange and Evie goes to rescue the Avengers (because she remembers 'Uncle' Clint telling her something about this adventure). Everyone has their memories of the 'correct' timeline back now.
* Fights ensue, adults are saved from death, it is discovered that this all came about because of something to do with Todd and the acolytes of the god Konshu. Beth and Doctor Strange have a good conversation (Beth even allows him to read her mind).
* The team returns to the present to find the timeline restored and they celebrate a job well done.

===The Do-Over===
(April 28, 2018)

*After returning from Ancient Egypt where they corrected the Rama-Tut infected timeline, the team finds themselves back in the Warehouse. However... they discover that it appears to be a week earlier than they left; it is the morning after Regionals again.
* This means that Peter receives a worried call from his Uncle Ben, and Beth receives a worried call from her mother. Both are in trouble for staying out all night. Peter is able to escape any punishment by simply explaining that there was time travel involved. But Beth's mother saw that Creel was at the wrestling and is freaked out.
* Basically, the team knows that the Priests of Konshu had a 'voodoo doll' of Earth, and they were going to do a ritual to make Earth more 'just'. This somehow opened the door for Rama-Tut to change the timeline. The kids now realize that they have to stop the Priests from doing their ritual, which is scheduled to happen that night.
* So in the meantime, before the ritual is due to happen, the boys (Peter, Myrmidon, and Todd) go to Uncle Ben's for pancakes, (Myrmidon is adored by the general public along the way) and the girls (Beth and Evie) go to face down Beth's mom.
* Beth had previously managed to keep the fact that Creel had been at Regionals from her mother, but her mother now knows and is basically wanting to bolt. Evie does what she can to try and smooth out the situation, but after Beth has an explosive conversation with her mother and a not very helpful one with her Uncle James, Beth does tell her mother that Creel knows Beth is his daughter. This leads to another explosive argument (which is where Evie, after cooking a delicious breakfast for everyone, decides to make herself scarce). Beth and her mother come to a truce and sit down to eat together. Beth does NOT tell her mother about her powers.
* Evie and Peter meet up so she can help him pass his auto-shop test AGAIN (and was there perhaps a moment of disappointment on her face when she saw Peter wasn't alone? Maaaayybe.) She helps him understand the internal combustion engine by 'translating' it into more complex terms that Peter will get. While this is happening, Myrmidon and Todd spar and get testosterone everywhere.
* Peter then sciences the heck out of things, including making Cap's shield shrink down so that Evie can carry it unobtrusively with her at all times.
* Beth makes the important discovery that Dr. Strange is still alive, indicating that this timeline is not exactly the same as the one they left.
* It is time for the meeting, so the team heads for the old mansion where they know the meeting is taking place. The Hood is welcomed by the current Moon Knight (formerly known as Night Thrasher) and meets the High Priest of Konshu, Marc Spectre, the original Moon Knight. The Hood had previously made a very good impression on them, and they are happy to welcome him into their ranks.
* Things do not go the way they previously did.
* The Hood and Marc Spectre have a battle royale in the ballroom, with Myrmidon in the battlecruiser wrecking havoc, while Shimmer, Positron, and Nomad head to take care of the Un-Earth. Which turns out to be an anti-matter bomb. That Positron now has to defuse.
* Oh and there are some AIM guys and they have a M.O.D.O.K in a cage. Which Nomad then frees. After it kindly kills the AIM guys so that Positron can concentrate on the bomb, the M.O.D.O.K, of course, tries to flee so it can launch its own nefarious plans, but fortunately, Shimmer traps it again and she and Nomad get it back into its cage.
* By the end of the night, the Un-Earth bomb is defused, M.O.D.O.K is recaptured, Marc Spectre is dealt with and the timeline seems... Ok?

== Myrmidon ==

*'''Real Name:''' Myrmidon son of Acroyear
*'''Occupation:''' Student/Monarch
*'''Legal Status:''' Acroyear Nobility, on school Visa in USA
*'''Identity:''' Public
*'''Other Aliases:''' Prince Myrmidon, Your Highness
*'''Place of Birth:''' Acroyear Space Ark in the Microverse
*'''Marital Status:''' Single
*'''Known Relatives:''' Cilicia (mother, Lady) Acroyear (father, deceased), Shaitan (uncle, deceased)
*'''Group Affiliation:''' Acroyears; Guardians of New York
*'''Base of Operations:''' The Warehouse

*'''History:'''

Far from the Microverse, King Acroyear and Lady Cilicia, Acroyear warriors and long-time betrothed couple, consummated their love in their quarters on the Micronauts' ship (HMS Endeavour) just as the ship was attacked by the Fixer and Mentallo. (Micronauts Vol. 1 #25, Jan 1981) This led to a larger battle with Hydra and the forces of Baron Karza, in which Acroyear called upon the Worldmind of the Acroyear homeworld, Spartak, to defeat Karza. (Micronauts Vol. 1 #28, Apr 1981) This left Spartak a lifeless world, and the Acroyears fled the planet in space arks. Cilicia, furious that Acroyear had sacrificed their world, returned to the Microverse to be with their people, where she declared Acroyear a traitor. (Micronauts Vol. 1 #29, May 1981) Little did Acroyear know that Cilicia was pregnant with their child.

Some time later, the Micronauts encountered the Acroyear fleet in the Microverse. Lady Cilicia was determined to bring Acroyear to trial for his crimes against their race, and forced him to face her in a duel to the death! (Micronauts Vol. 1 #51, Mar 1983) But the trial ended when Acroyear cracked Cilicia's torso armour, revealing that light was emanating from within her abdomen. (Apparently, Acroyear females literally glow from the belly when they're pregnant.) The Acroyear Elder declared the trial over, that Cilicia's unborn child would be their future sovereign, who would decide the future of their race. Acroyear told his Micronaut comrades "My people no longer recognize me as king, nor do they recognize Cilicia as regent. They await the reign of our child as rightful heir to the throne. That, of course, will take many years, as our child must first be born and come of age." (Micronauts Vol. 1 #52, Apr 1983)

Acroyear never lived to see the birth of his son, as he died in his journeys with the Micronauts. (Micronauts Vol. 2 #20, May 1986) Cilicia named him Myrmidon, and he was raised by his mother and his people to believe his father was a traitor and a coward.

As interpreted by omens, Cilicia and the Acroyear Elders sent Myrmidon to the Macroverse (Earth) to fulfill a prophecy that the new King would, if he prove himself worthy, will lead the Acroyears to their new home and to prosperity never before known. When Myrmidon's old Homeworld Battle Cruiser pierced the Spacewall which separates the Microverse from Earth, his mind was overcome with the power of the Enigma Force but he managed to master the great energies and remain on course. Cilicia had directed her son to seek out the Earth warriors she had fought beside many years ago, the Fantastic Four. (Micronauts Vol. 1 #16, Apr 1980) She sent a recorded message of introduction to the Richards family, asking them to take Myrmidon into their care.

Reed Richards secured Myrmidon the required visiting alien status and enrolled him in a local high school. Ben Grimm told Myrmidon the truth about his father, which many seasoned Acroyear warriors had already subtly hinted at: that his father was not a coward nor a traitor but a true noble warrior who had made great sacrifices not just for the good of his people but for all the Microverse (and Earth). Myrmidon moved in with Ben, and he soon became close friends with the youngest of the Richards children, Peter.

*'''Powers and Skills:'''

Myrmidon possesses enhanced strength and durability, even moreso than most of his race. Reed Richards, upon first witnessing Acroyear's strength, commented that it "rivals Ben's". Myrmidon shows the potential to be as strong or stronger than his father was.

His encounter with the Enigma Force at the Spacewall has left Myrmidon with telepathic abilities and mind blasts much like those occasionally possessed by his father's fellow Micronaut, Commander Arcturus Rann.

Bogatyr on the Dimniyi Frontier

2016-01-06T19:11:16Z

Kel:

== Game details ==

=== Rules and System ===
This game was started using [http://www.torchbearerrpg.com/| Torchbearer].
Starting with Session 7, it is played using [http://book.dwgazetteer.com/| Dungeon World].

=== Campaign Background ===

The game is set on the [[#The Map|Dimniyi Frontier]] of the [[Tsardom of the Sun]], East of the [[#Sea of Kalmius|Sea of Kalmius], on the shoulders of the [[#The_Dimniyi_Mountains|Dimniyi Mountains]]. The Tsardom is recently founded and expanding rapidly, but focused away from the East.

The characters are [[Bogatyr|bogatyrs]], persons who seek out a life of adventure and hardship on the frontiers of the Tsardom. Part medieval knight-errant, part Old West frontiersman, part scoundrel and ne'er do well, bogatyrs are admired by the locals when there is danger threatening, resented and feared in times of peace, and always distrusted as outsiders and wanderers.

The entire region of the [[#The Map|Dimniyi Frontier]] was once, centuries ago, part of the ancient [[Khorafan Empire]]. However, that empire was shattered in what is now called the [[Deep War]], a legendary genocidal conflict of great magics with the [[#Elves|Nichnytsia]] (Night Elves). This war was so cataclysmic, it changed the geography and climate of this region and many other parts of the world. These days scholars debate who, if anyone, won the Deep War, as the traces of both the [[#Elves|Nichnytsia]] and the [[Khorafan Empire|Khorafani]] are often deeply buried, shattered, or well guarded.

=== Linguistic Touchpoints ===

With respect to thinking of names, consider the following cultural touchpoints.

* [[Humans]] = The Tsardom: Ukrainian/Russian. The Vidma: Cornish.
* [[Dwarves]] = Hungarian
* [[Elves]] = Finnish/Estonian
* [[Halflings]] = Georgian (e.g. the country, not the state)

== Dimniyi Frontier Almanac ==

'''NOTE: Still working through major reorganization here, adding in multiple sessions worth of stuff and changing to Almanac format. [[User:Skalchemist|Skalchemist]] ([[User talk:Skalchemist|talk]]) 15:39, 30 December 2015 (EST)

[[File:Dimniyi frontier.png|thumb|400 px|Preliminary Map, may not be to scale or complete]]

===Region: Sea of Kalmius ===
''Freshwater Sea, Tempestuous, Unsafe, Neutral''

Details:
* Rugged merchant convoys
* Tsardom war-barks on patrol
* Carnivorous sturgeon as big as a horse
* SPRING: Brief but violent storms
* SUMMER: Daily rains and constant winds from the south
* FALL: Fog and mist
* WINTER: Ice floes and bitter breezes

====Steading: Melitopol====
''Human, Metropolis, Lawful, Prosperous, Resource (Port)''

a Bustling Metropolis on the Western side of the Sea of Kalmius, and the nearest thing to a major city near the Dimniyi Frontier. It takes a few days by ship to reach it from Nova Uzharod, and many days on foot.

===Region: Northern Dimniyi Mountains===
''Rugged, Cold, Dangerous, Chaotic''

Details:
* Steep granite cliffs
* Snowy ridges and peaks
* Coniferous forest below the treeline

===Region: The Psel Valley===
''Human, Growing, Temperate, Fertile, Civilized, Lawful"

* Wagon trains carrying people and goods

====Steading: Nova Uzharod====
''Human, Growing, City, Market, Resource (Port), Lawful''

a Busy Crossroads on the Eastern coast of the Sea of Kalmius. It is the doorway to the Tsardom for all the settlers on the frontier.

====Steading: Zhovti Vody====
''Human, Town, Religion (Three Facers), Garrison, Trade (Nova Uzahrod), Lawful''

a Religious Bastion southeast of Nova Uzharod. A holy site of the [[Three Facers]], the state religion of the Tsardom, that worships the triune deities of [[Dazbog]], [[Stribog]], and [[Simargl]]. Similar to both Christianity and Hinduism. Dazbog is a cultural hero associated with the sun, Stribog a sky god of winds and rains, and Smargl is a winged dog-like protective spirit. Visually and ritually, very much like the Orthodox Church. (Clerics will likely be of this religion)

===Region: The Golmosha Pass===
''Steep, Frigid, Unsafe, Haunted''

Details:
* Rutted cart-road
* Tight switchbacks
* Ancient ruined guard towers

====Steading: Jvari====
''Halfling, Lawless, Resource (Livestock), Resource (Poppy)''

a Remote Village, at the base of the far side of the Golmosha Pass. Mostly populated by Halflings.

* Thick bushes
* Remnants of farms and villages

A hilly region north of Brovary.

====Steading: Brovary====
MAPPED
'''Steading Tags:''' ''Wealthy, Steady, Garrison, Arcane, Need (Fruits and Vegetables), Trade (Nova Uzharod/Jvari), Emnity (Kenedhel), Guild (Rational Sodality of Thaumaturgists)''

a Wizard's Tower, south of the beginning of the Golmosha Pass Road. Brovary is a place of power, recently wrested by Tsardom's magicians and sorcerers from some local magical types. As Brovary is home to the regional headquarters of the Rational Sodality of Thaumaturgists, it is filled with towers small and large, as towers are to wizards as snail shells are to hermit crabs.

===Region: Southern Dimniyi Mountains===
''Rugged, Temperate, Dry, Dangerous, Chaotic''

Details:
* Arid foothills
* Exposed rock faces and cliffs
* Perfectly carved works of the Korafani Empire

====Steading: Vörös Kő Csarnokok====

the Mansions of Red Rock, a Dwarven Halls dug into the foothills of the Dimniyi. They have existed for hundreds of years before the Empire, but are recent by Dwarven standards

====Site: Khamyanyii Khru====
MAPPED
The resplendent, terraced necropolis of the might Khorofan Empire - sheltering at the end of a wooded mountain valley in the remote north (where once, it is said, were tropical forests and verdant farmland!) the lonely and largely untouched Khorofan outpost still shows the signs of a brutal siege by Dark Elves. It is divided, layer cake like, into five progressively smaller but more exclusive layers.<ref name="KhamyanyiiKhru8">Source: "Map Sheet 8 Within Folio of Supporting Documents in Brovary Tower's Inquest into the Strange Case of Oleksander the Thrice Wise".</ref> An important element of Khorofani monumental construction is a tendency to build very tall narrow structures. Also, the adornments of many Khorofani structures are fractal in nature, equally detailed no matter how close you get to them.

=====PoI: Concealed Campsite with Shelter on the 1st Terrance=====
MAPPED
A pleasant and concealed location wherein travelers may take their rest in relative safety from the depredations of the savage Likho and their hideous carnivorous (but impressively surefooted ponies).<ref name="KhamyanyiiKhru8A">Source: "Detail A, Map Sheet 8 Within Folio of Supporting Documents in Brovary Tower's Inquest into the Strange Case of Oleksander the Thrice Wise".</ref>

=====PoI: Collapsed Entrance Into Southern Drainage Channel=====
MAPPED
A drainage chamber that channels excess water gathering on higher levels of the mountain, as to discourage erosion. <ref name="KhamyanyiiKhruArch">Source: "Some Reflections on the Architecture of Khamyanyii Khru as Presented by Scholar Avgust Ruslan, an eye witness to it's site, with additional insights provided by his various associates, including Josef - a Dwarf."</ref> This is an excellent place to refill a thirsty traveler's canteen. <ref name="KhamyanyiiKhruTrav">Source: "Avgust Ruslan's Wise Traveler's Guide to Visiting Sundry Landmarks of the Khorofani Empire, including especially Khamyanyii Khru and containing also various tips and advises for the defeat of bandits and marauding beasts met upon the way".</ref>

=====PoI: A Benighted Crater on the Third Terrace (reached via Southern Drainage Channel)=====
MAPPED
Evidence of the horrors of the Dark Elf siege upon Khamyanyii Khru, this crater that mars the plaza of the third tier was caused by unnatural Dark Elven projectiles, and still bears a palpable taint<ref name="KhamyanyiiKhruArch" />. It can be reached from below via the Southern Drainage Channel - though the traveler is cautioned to beware the possible weakness of the channel's wall section as approaching the Second Tier - the Second Tier is... not a desirable destination...<ref name="KhamyanyiiKhruTrav" />

=====PoI: A Cunning Passage from the Third Terrace to the Fifth=====
MAPPED
There is a way to climb the hillside, and circumvent whatever dark denizens await the unwary traveler on the fourth terrace of the complex but it will require a skilled guide to avoid the Likho infested caves that dominate the region<ref name="KhamyanyiiKhruTrav" />.

=====PoI: A Campsite in the Shadow of Pharnabazus' Tomb=====
MAPPED
Huddling close to the walls the great entrance way of the Tomb of King Pharnabazus, there is a sheltered spot in which it is possible to camp relatively unnoticed without falling under the baleful eye of the Owl Griffins that are known to perch atop the highest spires of the complex<ref name="KhamyanyiiKhruTrav" />.

=====PoI: The Tomb of the Hakoom Shahina=====
MAPPED
The wise traveler will eschew the frippery of Pharnabazus' monument to his own greatness, realizing that such secret knowledges and hideous powers as are buried within the silent precepts of Khamyanyii Khru, lie within the ostentatiously unadorned tomb of Pharnabazus' mysterious queen, the Hakoom Shahina <ref name="KhamyanyiiKhruArch" /><ref name="KhamyanyiiKhruTrav" />. The wise traveler will also have a mind to be wary of the hideous strength of Gariksokadron (the <i>remaining</i> elemental set to guard the secret places of the tomb) and the mind bending effects of the legendary Song of Fire and Water<ref name="AccountAvgust" />.

===Region: Pryamador Forest===
''Rugged, Temperate, Dangerous, Chaotic''

Details:
* Lots of bandits
* Oak and maple trees packed together
* Small streams and deep gullys

A forested region south of Brovary.

====Site: The Old Khorafani Road====
''Paved, Straight, Smooth''

MAPPED
An old road of the Khorafani Empire

=====PoI: An isolated stretch of Road=====
MAPPED
Halfway between Brovary Tower and The Slave Pits Of The Bandit Prince, lies an isolated stretch of road where the messenger's of the Foul Bandit Prince Volodymir were ambushed by the heroic agents of the Brovary in their quest to recover the lost Oleksander The Thrice Wise. <ref name="AccountAvgust">Source: "Being a True Account of the March North of Avgust Ruslan, Initiate of the Tower, in Quest To Rediscover His Mentor Oleksander Thrice Wise As Well As to Record for the Glory of the Tsardom the True Paths Leading to the Fabled Necropolis of Khamyanyii Khru."</ref><ref name="Archive278">Source: "Archival Document 278 of the Year XXXX, Royal Archive of Brovary Tower: Exhibit A - Being Intelligence Gathered in Apprehension of Emissary of Bandit Prince Volodymir of the Undignified Facial Scarring (aka One Nostril, aka Scarface, aka The Hideous)".</ref>

====Site: The Slave Pits Of The Bandit Prince====
''Abandoned, Rustic''

MAPPED
Lying along the imperial road that runs from Brovary tower to the Necropolis at Khamyanyii Khru, a small distance from the road and surrounded by the impenetrable second growth forest that characterizes the Dimniyi Frontier, lies the camp of the Foul Bandit Prince Volodymir One Nostril. It is in this camp that Volodymir was laid low and made prisoner of agents of the Brovary <ref name="AccountAvgust" />

===Region: The Nyttiduba===
'''Soggy, Dangerous, Twisting''

Details:
* Rotting trees and logs
* Deep channels
* Soggy moss-covered land
* Eels and lizards
* WINTER: Thin ice

A forested swampy area north of Nova Uzharhod.

MAPPED
Capital of the Kenedhel. Home to Ysella.

====Steading: Bryluen's Lodge====
''Human, Village, Resource (Forest Bison)''

''Steep, Rocky, Snowy, Chaotic''

A solitary mountain east of the Forest of Chernobog

=====PoI: Abandoned Koschei Encampment=====

An abandoned encampment of koschei, formerly led by Volodomyr One-Nostril. Site of a pitched battle between Kenedhel and Koschei.

===Legendary Places===

====An ancient shrine/burial site====

Irene discovered information leading her to believe that a beautiful gem known as Sitoutumattomantähti (in Elvish, the Unbound Star), cut from the eye socket of a long dead Nichtnysian warrior can be found at a shrine or burial site north of Nova Uzharod.

'''Past History:''' Irene (then going as Bridget) and Narbo once shared in a dubious adventure that led to a cave in and killed Kanute's cousin. Both thought the other had died, until they met again in Brovary much later.

'''Current events:'''
* All of the RST knows that Avgust sucked at Evocation on his recent leveling exams, and barely passed.
* Avgust has the words "Seek here but ask me nicely" tatooed on his back. Narbo has the words "You may find what you will need". When they stand next to each other, the message reads "You may find what you seek here but you will need to ask me nicely". These tatoos were made on them while they were in a drunken (drugged?) stupor by the Vidma (Kenedhel), probably Jezibaba (Ysella) herself. The words are accompanied by a rough map of the are, with an X in the Forest of Chernobog. '''RESOLVED'''
* Narbo now has a new tattoo on his back, embellished from the old one, and this new tattoo is a "minor magical trinket" of unknown nature.
* The Bogatyr found a letter on the Koschei messengers that had enslaved Narbo, from One-Nostril to Nightingale, asking for an alliance.
* Although Volodomyr One-Nostril had been captured by the Bogatyr and was in custody at Brovary, he escaped! '''RESOLVED'''
* Although Volodomyr One-Nostril's Siege of Chernobog was utterly destroyed, he escaped!
* Strange occurences indicate that the forces of Order are strengthening (ominously)! Allusions to the Servant of the Servant?

* The Rational Sodality of Thaumaturgists - the licensing board/guild for sorcerers, magicians, wizards, and other practitioners of magic in the Tsardom of the Sun, with a direct commission from the Tsarina herself.
** RST Enforcement Division - responsible for making sure that all magic practiced within the Tsardom is licensed. They take offenses VERY seriously.

=== Peoples ===

==== Kenedhel/Vidma ====

A culture of humans that once lived in the region of Brovary. When the Tsardom moved in, they were kicked out by the Sodality on orders of the Tsar, and have since lived primarily in the Forest of Chernobog. They are well know for their strong tradition of witchcraft. They are called, perjoratively, the Vidma in the Tsardom.

==== Elves ====

Elves live in a far distant land called the West. The wise are not completely sure that this is a literal land, it may rather be a metaphor for a different plane of existence. What is known is that there are places where this Elvish world "intrudes" onto the normal world, where magic comes more easily, and that these places are the villages, towns, and other settled sites of the Elves. They come in four varieties that are known...

* Sun Elves (Sontsenytsia) - in ancient times, the Sun Elves worshipped Law, and since then have become almost incomprehensible to normal folk. They live regimented, bizarre lives of ritual and ceremony that no one else can understand. They are only rarely seen outside of an intrusion.

* Moon Elves (Mysyatsnytsia) - the Moon Elves are the ones most commonly seen. Really not all that different from normal folk, except for very long lives, a taste for magic, and more refined artistic taste.

* Star Elves (Zirhkynytsia) - less commonly seen among normal folk, the Star Elves are more solitary in nature and prone to melancholy and violence.

* Night Elves (Nichtnytsia) - as the Sun Elves long ago worshipped Law, the Night Elves worshipped Chaos. They became might and carved out a vast empire under the earth, with great magics and powerful weapons. Five hundred years ago they exploded from the depths, and did battle with the Khorofan Empire for supremacy over the surface. The war demolished civilization as it then flourished, but the forces of Law were ultimately triumphant, and the Night Elves were destroyed by powerful spells. Since that time, they have been heard of only in rumour, and as tales to terrify in the night.

=== Spawn of Chaos ===

==== Vorozhneki ====

Vorozhneki are races of intelligent creatures, maybe once humans, dwarves, halflings or elves, who have given themselves over to chaos for a very long time. They are often warped in bizarre ways from their original forms, and worship strange beings of violence and cruelty.

* Koschei - large and dangerous, averaging over 2 meters tall, with massive round heads and huge noses. They are well known as bandits and slavers. Their bands are more commonly seen north of the Frontier, but the wealth of the Frontier has attracted them. The Koschei will pay for the nose rings of their fallen kindred, they use them in rituals of power.

* Likho - diminutive beings that look like little old men with one eye. Bloodthirsty and cruel, like intelligent piranhas. They often ride sure-footed carnivorous ponies. Found in nests or hives in the mountains, often near the tree line. Likho surround the areas they live in with crude carvings in wood and stone.

==== Monsters ====

The Dimniyi frontier has its share of monsters, creatures that don't abide by the laws of nature and seem to exist only to spread foulness, evil, pain, and death.

* Chuheister - massive bestial creatures, covered in a warty hide and built like 3 to 4 meter gorillas. They seem to appear out of nowhere and cause havoc, eating all the livestock and people they can get their hands on. After a week or so they will often disappear, to no one knows where. When killed (which is rarely), they will rot with a day to little more than a crumbling skeleton.

* Chaos Wound Creatures - Creatures of almost pure chaos can be found near sites called chaos wounds, which are incursions of chaos into the normal world. These chaos wounds can take many forms, as can the creatures found within. These beings are often vile, frequently disturbing in appearance, and uniformly antithetical to life.

* Gariksokadron - "Murderer of Smoke", a fire elemental guarding the Song of Fire and Water

* Haspladionoksum - "Waiting Wave", a water elemental, once guarded the Song of Fire and Water. Now likely steam and vapor.

==== Beings ====

* Natalia the Green - a strange and ancient spirit, worshiped by the the Kenedhel.

=== Works of Literature ===

* The Song of Fire and Water - a sacred lyric, gifted to Pharnabazus by his wife, the Hakoom Shahina
* Ancient Burial Practices of the Khorafani - including helpful diagrams!
* Mountaineering, for Buffoons - a beginner's guide to climbing

===Chapter 1===
* Oleksandr's Absence
* The Road to Khamyanyii Khru
* Slave No More

(Friday, September 5, 2014 @ Derek's)

In the beginning of our tale, four stalwart adventurers (Lyuba the Killer (a Human Assassin), Avgust Ruslan (a Human Wizard), Alexei (a Human Monk), and Jozef (a Dwarf Adventurer)) were gathered in a tavern wondering about the disappearance of their friend and mentor Oleksandr Thrice-Wise. With Maniki, their helpful Hobbit Cook, they set off looking for him, heading for the site of his last known location.

On their way, they encountered a carriage belonging to a Koschei bandit in the service of Volodomyr One-Nostril. They challenged the Koschei, Avgust drawing particular attention to the laws they were breaking by crossing the empire's lands. Trying to avoid violence, Alexei tried to negotiate with them, and Maniki offered them wine. However, peace could not be maintained and battle ensued. Avgust blasted them with magic while Jozef and Lyuba attacked with weapons.

One of the naked slaves pulling his carriage was Narbo, a barbarian from a far-away land, saw this as his chance to escape his bondage and seek revenge on his captors. Although he failed, Jozef saw his plight and cut him free.

Soon, the Koschei were captured, all the slaves (other than Narbo) had fled into the forest, and the heroes were triumphant.

===Chapter 2===
* Steps Retraced
* The Great Escape
* Pierced Nostril
(Saturday, October 4 @ Derek's)

A brief interrogation of the Koschei captives reveals that they would rather die than give up any information. While one of them takes an opportunity to prove this, the other is taken captive by the once-slave Narbo.
The adventurers also search the carriage and fallen Koschei, and find some gear for the Narbo, as well as a mysteriously well written letter from Volodomyr, proposing an alliance with the infamous bandit Nightingale.

The adventurers (and Narbo) set up camp to discuss what to do next, and, at the prospect of a generous bounty, Narbo agrees to lead the way back to the slave camp where Volodomyr is waiting.

As the group nears the camp, an observant guard sounds the alarm and Koschei come running out. Some quick thinking allows Narbo to leave his half-dead captive as a distraction, while everyone sneaks around into the camp. Two more guards are distracted by another clever plan to free a group of slaves from a holding pit and inspire them to rise up against their oppressors.

Volodomyr is left with only two guards to defend him, and after seeing through a weak attempt to demand his surrender, the adventurers set upon him with the intent to capture him. A hard-fought battle leaves the group exhausted, but with a captive Volodomyr.

===Chapter 3===
* Arrival at Khamyanyii Khru
* The Trail of Oleksandr
* The Aristocratic Dead

After some discussion, the party decided to split up - Lyuba would return to civilization with their prisoner, Volodomyr One-Nostril, to claim the bounty on him. Maniki decided he'd had enough of the Bogatyr life and elected to return to civilization. The two of them, prisoner in tow, set off with a promise to set aside the others' shares of the bounty.

The remaining members of the group, guided by their new companion, Narbo, set off for the ancient necropolis of Khamyanyii Khru in hopes of rescuing Oleksandr Thrice-Wise. After a rough trek, the group finally made their way to the valley and established a base camp upon the first tier of the complex. They set about seeing to their gear (and their stomachs!) ahead of their initial foray into the necropolis.

Late in the night, as Jozef took his turn on watch, he heard sounds echoing through the night and quickly realized that it was a Likho hunting party - Khamyanyii Khru was not completely uninhabited, and the danger to Oleksandr (and the Bogatyr!) was suddenly much greater. Upon discussion of this new information, the group decided that it might be safer to enter the necropolis from the first tier and attempt to make their way up to the higher levels from the inside rather than face the Likho and their carnivorous ponies.

The group made their way into the ancient drainage system via a collapsed section of the first tier, and Jozef led them through the icy water. They eventually found a series of pipes designed to drain water from the higher levels, as well as a nearby stairway that allowed access to the exterior of the second tier. Not wanting to venture outside unless absolutely necessary, the Bogatyr decided to climb up on of the drains that had less water flowing through it.

Narbo volunteered to lead the way, and quickly began his ascent. Initially, all seemed to be going well... and then the wall he was leaning against gave way and he found himself tumbling to the exterior surface of the second tier. As he stumbled to his feet, he realized that he could see movement in the trees growing about him. Soon, three ancient mummies stumbled towards him out of the woods, drawn to the presence of a living soul. Narbo prepared to defend himself as his companions flew up the access stairs to his aid. The battle looked to be a difficult one, especially when one of the undead creatures leapt unto the wall and clung like a spider...and then Avgust brought his mystic powers into play. In a burst of flame, the three mummies were reduced to ashes.

Hearing the moans of many more of the walking dead approaching, the Bogatyr quickly raced back to the stairs, collapsing the entrance behind them to prevent pursuit. They returned to the ancient drains below to plan their next move.

===Chapter 14: Order without Purpose===
* Concerning Events
* Helping Refugees
* First Taste of Revenge
(October 18, 2015)

Our share of the loot from the Koschei camp came to 247 coins, ~50 each.
Alexei volunteered to leave his finger with the Kenedhel collection as a symbol that no more imperial evangelists will need to be killed. Recieved important diary of Brother Gleb in exchange.
Jozef tried to enhance his shield, but found himself lost in a trancelike state. Kenedhel craftsmen have experienced similar occurences lately.
Jozef tried to return the shield, but Ysella only laughed and told him to keep it. BUT, she wanted him to return in 2 months to show her how he had been changed.
Ysella attempted to show Narbo a vision of his homeland, but the vision got caught in a loop - possibly related to Jozef's trance.
Ysella was concerned and divined that the forces of Order were strengthening (in a bad way) resulting in "order without purpose".
This information appeared to interest Avgust greatly and he immediately went on ahead to Brovary to research further.
Others follow to Brovary later.
Irene senses the path leading to the Unbound Star, though we don't follow it.
A group of ~40 refugees were trying to get into Brovary when we arrived. The refugees' village was burned down by robbers in the south (part of Nightingale's group). The gates were closed to anyone not vouched for by a citizen of Brovary since attacks are becoming more common in the area.
Irene convinced the guards that Oleksander Once-thrice-wise will vouch for them. Refugee group was let in and settled in Oleksander's tower. He is largely oblivious.
Narbo took some of the refugees under his wing and convinced them to come with us to exact revenge on the robbers.
Avgust left a note saying that he had travelled on to Zhovti Vodi to continue research (taking him right through robber territory).
The party follows to Zhovti Vodi, and comes upon a group of robbers.
An ambush quickly killed all but one robber, who was kept for questioning.
Looted a valuable stolen jewelled hat pin and 100 coin.

===Chapter 15: Finding Fort Knezik===
* Nightingale's Plot
* Avgust Caged
* Murder Ponies - At Last
(November 27, 2015)

===Chapter 16: Burn the Plan===
* Goosepocalypse
* Flaming Drunks
* Charge the Keep
(December 13, 2015)

As we cut to commercials, the situation lies thusly:
* Josef defends the bridge as he, Irene, and Narbo's 2 proteges rush towards the gate.
* Avgust stands at the gate, sans equipment, having just heaped burning coals upon his enemy's head (so to speak)
* Narbo lies on the ground in the middle of the keep, having just been poetically introduced to Gyozo and his axe
* Gyozo stands facing Narbo with a smirk of superiority
* Alexei stands on a ledge above, having gained control of the lever that controls the bridge
* Lyubochka has just made an entrance and quieted the geese
* Guards are running around in various states of fear and confusion
* The moon elf is still locked in his cage
* Narbo's 3rd protege is waiting with the horses outside

==Custom Moves==

===New Game Terms===
====The Map====
In the fiction, the Map is a physical object on the person of one of the Bogatyrs. In form it is likely a combination of actual maps, sketches, notes, etc., in a journal or map case or similar container. Outside of the Fiction, the Map consists of the locations noted above on this wiki; the wiki is the real world representation of the fictional Map.
====Light X====
Light is a tag found on equipment, objects, creatures, or anything else. It always has a numerical value associated with it. Objects with the Light tag generate useful light in dark places. If the tag is on an item of equipment, that item must be held, displayed, or otherwise available to generate light for the tag to be active.

===Cartography===
When you '''stop to take time to record information''' about your journeys into your Map, roll +INT. On 10+, you may record up to three locations on your Map that you have physically visited and spent some time in ''since the last time'' you used this Move. On a 7-9, you may record one.

===Using your Map===
When you '''travel between locations on your Map''' it is not considered hostile territory for the purposes of the '''Undertake a Perilous Journey''' Special Move. In addition, the journey will be uneventful unless you choose to take a risk on the journey. Risks might include making the journey in a lot less time, or hunting for opposition along the way, or searching the path for some important resource.

===A Light in the Darkness===
When '''you make a Move that requires a dice roll in darkness''', check the available nearby Light. If there is less Light then the number of bogatyr in the group, take -1 forward for each Light that is missing, maximum -3 forward.

===Moving up in the Magical World===
When '''you take the exam to gain a Level in the Rational Sodality of Thaumaturgists''' roll +Int. On a 10+, you gain the level and the accolades of your peers. +1 ongoing in official interactions with the Sodality until your next exam. On a 7-9 you pass, but choose one: you are know to have almost failed a section by everyone, and will carry that blot on your record OR you had to pay a bribe, the GM will tell you who you paid off OR you had to cheat. On a 6 or less, you failed one section, tell the GM which. You'll have to retake it at some point in the future when you can demonstrate to your superiors your knowledge has improved.

===Spoor of Chaos===
When '''you paint yourself with chaos residue''' roll +CON. On a 10+ you have demonstrated your fidelity to the spirits of chaos, hold 3. On 7-9 hold 1. Spend hold while you wear the chaos residue to become more ferocious (+1 in a circumstance where ferocity matters). You are at -2 to social interactions other than violent ones while wearing the residue.

== Items ==
===Pencast's Joyful Friend===
When you use the Joyful Friend in battle, the spirit of the Old Wisent will touch you. The GM will tell you how the Old Wisent changes you to suit his whim.

When you ''lead through the forest'' you can move freely across it as if it were open prairie.

When you charge the enemy to defend your friends, first laugh in the face of your foes. Then defend normally, except:
* On a 12+, you throw your enemies backward and into confusion, as well as gaining 3 hold.
* You can spent hold to throw an enemy back in confusion.
