Storyline: Archival of the Fittest

Beginning of Issue
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Moxie: Empowered|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Moxie: I am glad to see everything is finally returning to normal around here. You must be happy to be back, PlayerName
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Quick!|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Moxie: I have to admit I was a little envious. It sounded like quite the adventure.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/In and Out|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Moxie: Zeroth is back to his old self. The heroes and villains are mostly back to their old ways... Afterimage: Found 'em!.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Keys to the Castle|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Moxie: And AfterImage is coming to the rescue when I lock myself out of The Harmory. Afterimage: Just hanging on the hook by the door...again.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Foreboding|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Moxie: I am just looking forward to a nice quiet semester. And putting all that mayhem behind us...

It's Time

Beginning of Area: It's Time
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Abduction|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Afterimage: PlayerName! Moxie! Heeeelp! Everything. Is. Slowing. Down.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Riftwalker|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Moxie: It is another Riftwalker but it isn't Zeroth! There are more of them?
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Riftwalker|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Moxie: Any ideas on how to cut this thing down to size PlayerName?

Beginning of Fight: Chronarchitect
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Hands of Time|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Hand of Time: You have been summoned to the tribunal of The Chronarchivist! You cannot resist the Hands of Time.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Edge of Nowhere|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Hand of Time: Everyone is almost in place. The tribunal can begin.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Hostile Witness|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Chronarbiter: Chronarchivist! You have been charged by your fellow Chronarchs with the high crime of chrono-tampering.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Chronarbiter|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Chronarbiter: Should you be found guilty the errant timeline will be razed and a new one built in its place by the Chronarchitect.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Time of Judgment|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Chronarbiter: I am the maker of worlds but today we shall find out what you are made of instead.

Beginning of Fight: Chronarbiter
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Chronarbiter|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Chronarbiter: PlayerName, you have been brought before me, The Chronarbiter, to defend the existence of your reality.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Hostile Witness|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Chronarbiter: The Chronarchivist has let her affection for Emergent culture ... and fashion ... blind her. She has been derelict in her solemn duty to preserve the tapestry of time and space.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Time of Judgment|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Chronarbiter: If you are deemed worthy you will be given the opportunity to aid the defense. Let the record show that I am treating the witness as hostile!

Cold Combat

Beginning of Area: Cold Combat
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Hostile Witness|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Chronarbiter: The Chronarchivist's folly has allowed your timeline to not only exist but to spill over into other forbidden realms.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Hostile Witness|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Chronarbiter: Myriad other possible paths through time and space your world could have traveled if not for her allowing Zeroth's meddling to change it so profoundly.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Time of Judgment|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Chronarbiter: That she did not know he was a Riftwalker, a nascent Chronarch, makes the case against your timeline even more sound.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Blue Prints|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Chronarbiter: The Chronarchitect is constructing an arena and populating it with heroes and villains from timelines that did not exist at the expense of your own.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Chronarch's Bidding|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Chronarbiter: The last hero standing shall ensure their timeline will carry on where yours now pulses. It is archival of the fittest!

Beginning of Fight: Cryotechnique
	Chronarbiter: In another time, young emergents would have to cope with the bullying of Cryotechnique. Cryotechnique: Who's the precious little snowflake?
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/On Ice|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Cryotechnique: Too bad nobody told you to bring ice to a snowball fight!

Beginning of Fight: Afterimage: Valiant
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Unwilling Participants|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Chronarbiter: You are not the only emergent from your timeline fighting today. Afterimage: Hey! Quit shoving!
	Chronarbiter: To determine the outcome you will need to fight them as well. Afterimage: Aww c'mon! I never beat PlayerName!

Beginning of Fight: Moxie: Empowered
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Vortex|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Moxie: There has to be a better way to resolve this than fighting against my students.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Boulder Dash|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Moxie: Until another solution presents itself we will have to fight for all our lives!
