Turn 1
The dark age have begun! Armies of demons, undead monstrosities and dark spirits are preparing to attack Churchbury. The living have mere hours of moderate peace before the bloody harvest will start!
A strange blue skinned man in a dark blue cloak had been working for the Churchbury Church of Nix recently, going out and reporting back on the effects of the Blacksun Ooze, as it had been dubbed, in the hopes that a cause and a cure could be determined. His name was Jack Frost, known across the whole world as a quixotic wanderer, great explorer and seeker of arcane. At the moment the Cloud arrived, he'd been just inside the city gates, on his way to the Church. After a rushed visit, he made his way to the fortifications above the gate, preparing to defend the city as best he could. On the contrary to foolish members of the city watch. They were peeking their heads out of the safe fortifications, and with excitement placed bets who would kill the highest amount of demons. Jack sensed something unusual in a jovial looking, barrel chested hunter with a beard. The man was wearing a chainmail and held a crossbow proudly. He wasn't the usual shmuck hastily put inside an armour and called a guard. The other watchmen spoke to him with respect. His name was Sandford as Jack overheard.
After making his way out of a remote observatory, a middle aged man in full plate stopped in a small hill just outside a great city. He was seeking the first wave of Underworld armies and found it - it was between him and the settlement. The man didn't even try to hide or run to the gates, none of the creatures dared to bother him. Sandford loaded his crossbow and peaked out, overtly eager for the incoming slaughter. He noticed the man and instantly alarmed other guards. Jack decided to take a look as well and noticed that the man shows striking resemblance to the legendary Inquisitor Reynald.
A young and curious man with white curly hair and pale skin, wearing a pair of glasses and an extravagantly looking robe had only arrived to the streets of the city recently after his long journey from the east. Unable to speak the language of these lands, he was searching for a library in which to find information regarding the legendary creatures known as demons. He could see that something big was about to happen, he couldn't understand any of the screams though. The pig-like, raspy accent of local people wasn't the most pleasant for him. The young man took a small glowing crystal with "Nmngubgu Sugnta" engraved on it out of his bag. It was glowing red, which according to remains of a manuscript he once read in an eastern library, indicated demonic presence nearby. A man covered in rags approached Nmngubgu and hugged him.
"Eastern brother! I thought that I would never see any of you again!"A tall and remarkably handsome man in dark robes entered the Churchbury's Church of Nix and took a seat on a bench. He knew about the coming of the end times and prepared himself. The man never was the one to head straight to a fight, he was reading notes which he wrote down after waking up from his recent dreams. Since early childhood, a strange man was haunting him while he was asleep - the notes contained his words. Only after he was done with reading had he realized that all the people around were watching him. They recognised the robes he was wearing and were afraid. The Dark Circle was a union of sorcerers whose motives remained unclear for those who couldn't harness energies, thus it was banned from most of the kingdoms. He decided to move to a side chapel and hide within a group of people. Another member of The Dark Circle entered the church.
"Solomon Blackguard!" the man shouted from afar trying to spot him, The Dark Circle tried to seek him out due to disobedience. Solomon ignored his calls, trying to clear his mind and gather energy before the apocalypse. The man in his dreams warned him that demons are able to harness much more power than mere street magicians.
A young woman with light brown complexion and wavy black hair was hunting at the time of the sudden demonic incursion. She hid in the bushes with a deer she just tried to hunt down. It seemed that the animal was much more afraid of hellish invaders than the hunter. The woman hoped that her skills and tactics will help her in this dire situation. Suddenly the doe spoke:
"So the hunter is now the hunted? Don't be afraid and listen carefully Iolani, as presence of dieties weakens with every second! My name is Waerghulf, I am the God of Hunt speaking through this animal. There is a holy man nearby, a knight in shining armour sent from High Heavens! Seek him out and together you shall hunt down the demons! Go now!" and ran out, distracting the monstrosities. Trusting her instincts, Iolani jumped out of the bushes and found the middle aged man in plate armour.
Masses of people decided to hide in Churchbury's Church of Nix when the apocalypse was incoming. An average looking man wearing a tattered suit, made his way to a platfrom in front of church's main altar, clutching a book in his hand. Priests tried to stop him and argued that it won't help now, but he did not listen. He finally went up a platform, gathered as much air in his lungs as he could, and screamed:
"I told you so!" his voice was echoing throughout the whole church and everyone could hear it
[1] An ugly man wearing bright pink clothes with an eye burningly yellow vest and vomit green hood was sitting in a prison cell. Suddenly a bunch of guards appeared. One of them said:
"Arror Blazzup! By the king's order, you are freed from prison and assigned to a city defense unit!" and opened the cell.
[5]
"Here's your equipment, straight from royal treasury!" the guard gave him a set of crimson plate armour with a tower shield, a combat dagger adorned with jewels, an ominously looking sword with thorns on it's handle, an amulet with a huge ruby and a lantern.
"To the fortifications! Off with you!"
