Storyline: Crisis in Kruna: Part 2

Beginning of Issue
	Helios: I just want to be left alone. I have done too much harm in the guise of helping. I want Daddy-O to have been my last fight.
	Helios: After he used his spores to gain control of my barbarians. As well as my former students Cornerstone and you, PlayerName
	Helios: The combined powers of these two worlds was enough to finally eradicate Daddy-O and his mental grip on all of you.

Beginning of Fight: Fire-Worshipping Barbarians
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Fire-Worshipping Barbarian|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Helios: I have an army here and while I don't want to fight you...
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Torch Bearer|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Helios: I will, if that is what it takes to convince you to leave me be.

Beginning of Fight: Helios: Dragon Slayer
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Billet of Fire|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Helios: You were always an attentive student, PlayerName.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Billet of Fire|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Helios: You must know this is a test you cannot pass.
	Helios: I understand if you want to call in sick!

Beginning of Fight: Riftwalker: Non-Stop
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Dismount|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Johnny Tinker: Getting pretty tired of this sob-song old man.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Stoking the Embers|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Johnny Tinker: You are coming back with us even if it is on the end of a skewer!
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Stoking the Embers|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Johnny Tinker: What the?!? Who the heck is that?
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Riftwalker: Non-Stop|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Riftwalker: Gggrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! Johnny Tinker: Ummmm...is he growling at us? What is this guy?
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Chronarchivist: Timekeeper|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Chronarchivist: I recognize his chronal signature! He is a Riftwalker; capable of traveling between dimensions.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Chronarchivist: Timekeeper|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Chronarchivist: They are one evolutionary step below the Chronarchs. I am trying to read his timeline but I am only seeing a red angry haze.
	Helios: Instead of reading his timeline, how about we end it?
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Minify|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Helios: Zeus's beard! He is a Non-Stop!
	Chronarchivist: Tinker! Cornerstone! PlayerName! He is attacking...can't think...straight...

Deadly Crystal

Beginning of Area: Deadly Crystal
	Cornerstone: Who is this guy? And why does he have emergent powers?
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Tendrils of Darkness|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Cornerstone: He took out Scarlet Tiger and The Chronarchivist with Non-Stop powers...
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Riftwalker: Sculptor|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Cornerstone: And now he is sculpting simulacrums of them out of the crystals in the ground.

Beginning of Fight: Thunder Liger: Sculpted
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Thunder Liger: Sculpted|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Cornerstone: Don't tell Scarlet Tiger when she wakes up...
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Pounce|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Cornerstone: But I have never been a cat person!
	Cornerstone: Heads up, PlayerName!
	Cornerstone: Put this cat down!

Beginning of Fight: Chronarchivist: Sculpted
	Cornerstone: It can do everything a real cat can... ...except swim. Good job!
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Chronarchivist: Sculpted|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Cornerstone: But we still have this crystal Chronarchivist to contend with!
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Bookmark|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Cornerstone: And it looks like she is throwing the book at us!

Beginning of Fight: Riftwalker: Sculptor
	Riftwalker: Rrrraaaaaawrrrr! Cornerstone: I don't know what this guy's deal is but his attitude needs some adjusting.

A Dark Mind

Beginning of Fight: Cornerstone: Controlled
	Team Member: Has anyone seen Cornerstone? Where is he?
	Helios: There you are... There you are...
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Bust Open|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Head Toss|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Helios: PlayerName! He must have acolyte powers too! Cornerstone is under his control!

Beginning of Fight: Cornerstone: Controlled
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Strafe|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Cornerstone: Great! Now we are being strafed by crazy creatures from this world too?
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Book Club|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Helios: It must be with the Riftwalker. Chronarchivist: This is a Molten Manticore that is supposed to be erased from this timeline.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Beast Rider|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Scarlet Tiger: Let's send it back to the storybooks! Cornerstone: Who is with me?

Beginning of Fight: Riftwalker: Acolyte
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Molten Manticore|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Chronarchivist: Every time we fend him off he comes back with another emergent power. Guard your thoughts! He is as powerful an acolyte as you have ever faced.

Food for Worms

Beginning of Fight: Worms
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Book Club|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Chronarchivist: This book contains the entire history of multiple universes so it may take me a moment to find my place. But I think I know what is going on with this Riftwalker. And if I am right...
	Cornerstone: Hold that thought!

Beginning of Fight: Worm Riders
	Cornerstone: Not even Pesticide would like these creepy crawlers! Right, PlayerName?

Beginning of Fight: Riftwalker: Strongharm
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Tectonic Activity|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Riftwalker: Rrrraaaawwwrrrr!!!!
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Granite Glove|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Helios: Strongharm, of course he is! Johnny Tinker: Oooooof!

Here Be Dragons

Beginning of Area: Here Be Dragons
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Page Turner|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Chronarchivist: Gasp! Now I understand who the Riftwalker is and why he must be decades older than the last time we saw him.
	Chronarchivist: Aloysious Zeroth is the Riftwalker! When he tried to come here with us he was rejected by the timeline for all the ways he has manipulated it to his own end.
	Chronarchivist: Long ago the elder Chronarchs created a world for the leftover bits of time and space that inevitably occur in our efforts to maintain it. That is where Zeroth ended up. As far as I knew, no one had ever returned from there.
	Chronarchivist: The nature of the world will erase all memory of your former reality. Somehow over the course of decades he willed his way back to us.
	Chronarchivist: Zeroth has Chronarch genes in him. Combined with the full fury of his emergent powers, he has returned.
	Chronarchivist: Getting back to us was the only thought he was able to maintain and now that he is here everything else has been replaced with fury and resentment. We must find Coax if we are going to have any chance of restoring his mind.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Ember Hawk: Scout|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Helios: I have been doing some aerial reconnaissance and think I can help in that regard.

Beginning of Fight: Ogre: Guardian to the Dragons
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Ogre: Guardian to Dragons|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Helios: Coax is being held captive by a dragon, which is being guarded by an ogre.
	Johnny Tinker: Are we there yet? Helios: I think I see something.
	Cornerstone: A big and ugly something.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Impasse|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Ogre: No need to be insulting! Have you gazed upon your own reflection lately? There is a calm lake over those hills which should be perfect for that.
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Impasse|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Ogre: And since I am not about to let you pass... Cornerstone: Oh yeah?
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/With the Dragon Tattoo|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Ogre: I tried to be civil!
	Bethany: His dragon tattoos are coming to life!
	Johnny Tinker: PlayerName! While they fight those flying phantasms you and I will knock some sense into this erudite ogre.

Beginning of Fight: Zeva: Acid Spewer
	Ogre: You may have vanquished me but that flapping of wings I hear portends only one thing...
	Ogre: And I don't think you are going to like it!
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Acid Reign|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Bethany: Watch out!
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Zeva: Acid Spewer|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Ogre: It is a true pleasure to introduce you to Zeva the Acidspewer.

Beginning of Fight: Coax: Distressed Damsel
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Helios: Dragonslayer|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Helios: Excellent job, PlayerName! Perhaps my time at the Phaeton Project was not wasted after all.
	Helios: While I pin this specimen you have captured let's find Coax and get out of here.
	Cornerstone: I am coming to rescue you Coax!!
	Cornerstone: Or not!
	Cornerstone: Oooof!
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Coax: Distressed Damsel|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]]	Coax: Idiot! What makes you think I need rescuing? I was controlling Zeva with an illusion of gold and jewels beyond the dreams of avarice.
File:LoH Dialogue i14 page11 panel4.jpg	Coax: I can never fix what I did to you all and I just want to be left alone!
