MAylyn, dragon hatchling cursed to a pegfooted human body.

Thull Durgis, human corn farmer sent by Corn Row to watch the outsiders and uncover secrets of the unnamed CORN BUYERS. Noone knows what they do with all that corn…

Players of New Characters start as:

Residents of Corn Heights, either temp workers/mercenaries or corn farmer locals. Humans only, the area of Corn Heights hates non-humans. The practicing of magic and obvious psionics is considered taboo. Technology level in the region is roughly 19th century except for the corn buyers facilities in the center of town which are very high tech.

Common classes to the region of Corn Heights:

Mercenary Headhunter with Combat Robot working in the Corn Heights Security patrols, CHS private rank. Sent to investigate the other players.

Vagabond Wanderer working as a day laborer loading corn , knows the seedier side of Corn Heights. Follows the group after hearing rumors of their earlier exploits, hope to follow them to score some loot and better yourself.

Air/Water Warlock spell caster child of farmers nearby. You used powers for farming in secret until ordered by village elders of nearby settlement to find outsiders to convince to investigate the unnamed buyers for suspected treachery.

Mutant Dogpack: There is currently a mutant dog following the group and he could be a player character if someone wants to play a tenacious and ingeinous runaway from evil technologicaly advanced humans who mutate and enslave animals as shock troops. He walks up right and has uposable thumbs but otherwise looks like. a dog. Currently in posession of something that doesn’t belong to him…

(one player picks the Dogpack to play)

Events:

Drago, Sparticus, Thull and Heath are inside the base at first.
Bluey and Caldor are outside but Caldor doesn’t see Bluey.

More police cars show up and a juicer jumps out (played by another player) and starts trying to kill Caldor with his power halbred. After trying to strike him a few times and failing he sees the rest of the team coming out of Heaths lair to investigate and flees, leaving them to clean up the remaining Zombie coppers. Bluey shot at the juicer but his 3006 bounced off his hardened armor.
Caldor Drago Sparticus Thull Blue and Heath hang out inside Heaths house while he fixes up a wounded kid. The kid dies and the mom runs off sobbing. Before they can quiz Heath more ANOTHER woman runs up saying her husband has been turned into something else. In return for her horse she beggs them to go bring her husband back.

By this point Drago realizes as a Dragon he can return Nxla Zombies to normal with a ritual. They go off to the mans house to find the strangely effected husband to bring to Heath.

Thull runs off in front of them with a bionic foot problem and gets to Heaths first.

Drago Caldor and Sparticus Prowl up to Heaths from the south seeing a Robot out front.

From the north comes Null an old friend of Dragos in a huge behemoth. Null and the Robot exchange missles for awhile before the robot is destroyed by Sparticus and Heather Heaths robot Hue.

Before Hue could activate via DEadmans switch the front Heaths place is taken out by a Short Range missle, nearly killing Thull who has 90% of his body mangled and burned.

Once the area is secure Hue introduces himself and gets to work patching up Thull with a spare “The Kid” Bionic body Heath hadn’t used yet.
Drago doesn’t forget the man they brought back and tries to save him.
He drinks a case of Psicola instincualy skimming its power and using it to open a portal and force Nxla out of the man returning his soul. They fight a few guardians before closing the portal. Drago is exhausted and addicted to psicola.

Sparticus is annoyed at being cut off from his body so he uses Heaths radio to call his Army. Timmy Flynn comes on the mic and says they will be sending three people.

Awhile later they search for their supposed ride home and find a debris field guarded by a robot Xombies and a harvestor. They battle them and find out that Max survived, His Esrith was taken hostage for experimentation by the mayor of Corn Heights after he wasn’t able to be soul-sucked.

Max takes a bad injury from shrapnel in his side but is weakly piloting the stolen Corn Heights Titan Combat Robot for his General Sparticus.

Drago has his arm ripped off by another of Sparticus’s men who has been Xombified. They round up 5 zombies and fence them somewhere until they can figure out how to restore them.

All the while the corn fever is getting worse, the current theory is the corn is similar to a Millennial Tree and thus a power source for their dark magics.
