Time to Go
| Beginning of Area: Time to Go | |
|
Cornerstone: Tell me again what happened with Phaeton! |
|
|
Zeroth: I have told you three times already but you just don't want to believe me. We were fighting Phaeton and keeping him at a standstill but he was threatening to go 'nuclear' on us. |
|
Zeroth: Professor Helios seemed to figure something out and had Billy Stopless blindly open up a teleportal without knowing where it would lead. |
|
Zeroth: The Professor dove through the 'portal. He said he was saving us. |
|
Zeroth: And sure enough, as soon as he was gone, Phaeton began to just fade away. Like a bad dream. |
|
Zeroth: And then suddenly Coax was there, screaming like a mad woman. |
|
Zeroth: I don't know how her powers work exactly but breaking the connection with Helios seemed to cause her agony. And just before the rift could close she jumped in after him. |
|
Zeroth: And then she was gone. They were both gone. And we don't know where they went. I know you don't want to believe it but she was conjuring Phaeton to torment Professor Helios. And she went after him to finish the job. |
| Beginning of Fight: Zeroth | |
|
Cornerstone: Take it back! Someone must have forced Coax to do that! If she even did it at all! |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Throw Down|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Zeroth: I am getting a little tired of repeating myself only to have you guys beat me up every time. |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Face First|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Zeroth: I know Coax is your friend from when you were all freshmen here. But she sure looks like one of the bad guys now. And if I have to beat that into your skulls I will. |
| Beginning of Fight: Cornerstone: Gladiator | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Try and Stop Me|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Cornerstone: I! Don't! Believe! You! I am going to find her and prove you wrong! |
|
Cornerstone: Someone at this stupid school can tell me where she went! And I am going to keep smashing things until someone tells me what I want to know! |
| Beginning of Fight: Chronarchivist: Wizard | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Not Again|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Chronarchivist: I know where they both went. And I will need your help to bring them back. |
|
Chronarchivist: They went someplace unlike anywhere you have ever been before. I need to make sure you are up to the task before we can go. |
Knight Rider
| Beginning of Area: Knight Rider | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Time Slip|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Chronarchivist: Welcome to another world in another time. The population of Tor'gyyl ranges from lowly barbarians to a majestic race of dragons. |
|
Chronarchivist: We have come to the portion known as West Kruna. We will need every resource at our disposal to navigate this strange land. |
|
|
Chronarchivist: I have recruited Johnny Tinker and The Scarlet Tiger to help us on this adventure. We have another person joining us shortly as well. |
|
Cornerstone: That's all well and good lady but I am going to have to start attaching you guys to my wrists like mittens. |
|
Cornerstone: Because it sure looks like we lost another one. Where the heck is Zeroth? |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Lost Charge|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Chronarchivist: I should have realized... Zeroth has bent, battered, and broken the structure of time and space so many times... |
|
Chronarchivist: That time has developed an "immunity" to him. Almost like antibodies that develop in your bloodstream. Time has rejected him and sent him somewhere... |
|
|
Chronarchivist: He will need to fend for himself for now while we find your other friends. |
|
Chronarchivist: We are going to need to alter our appearance in order to blend in. |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Chronarchivist: Wizard|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Chronarchivist: I will take on the guise of a spellcaster. |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Cornerstone: Gladiator|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Chronarchivist: Cornerstone will be garbed as a warrior. |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Scarlet Tiger: Beastmaster|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Chronarchivist: Fittingly, Scarlet Tiger will take on the role of master of beasts. |
| Beginning of Fight: Johnny Tinker: Crimson Knight | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Johnny Tinker: Crimson Knight|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Chronarchivist: And Johnny Tinker shall be crowned the Crimson Knight with an iron steed befitting his rank. Johnny Tinker: Cool! |
|
Johnny Tinker: We have to try these new costumes out! Who wants to joust with me? Somebody fight me! |
| Beginning of Fight: Iron Steed | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Chronarchivist: Wizard|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Chronarchivist: Think you can handle my Iron Steed? |
| Beginning of Fight: Iron Steed | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Heed the Call|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Scarlet Tiger: Some things sound the same on every world! That is the snarl of an animal in danger. |
|
Scarlet Tiger: Those Beastmen are hunting that magnificent creature. We have to stop them! |
The Tiger and the Liger
| Beginning of Fight: Scarlet Tiger: Beastmaster | |
|
Scarlet Tiger: The animal is scared and angry but you must not hurt it. I will fight you to gain its trust. The others will deal with these wretched beastmen. |
| Beginning of Fight: Beastmen | |
|
Cornerstone: I have been looking for an excuse to smash something for days now. You should try it! |
| Beginning of Fight: Thunder Liger | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Uncommon Bond|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Scarlet Tiger: My powers have allowed me to bond with this animal. He respects me and what I did for him. |
|
|
Scarlet Tiger: I am afraid the rest of you will need to earn that respect in battle if he is going to consent to join us. |
A Kind of Magic
| Beginning of Fight: Worms | |
|
Cornerstone: Uh...guys?!? Beastmen and Ligers have been pretty normal so far... |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Worm Rider|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Cornerstone: But I think things are about to get weird! |
| Beginning of Fight: Worm Rider | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Cat Tricks|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Scarlet Tiger: The worms will overwhelm us unless we take out their riders. Worm Rider: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! |
| Beginning of Fight: Bethany: Secret Keeper | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Bethany: Secret Keeper|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Bethany: On one hand you have dealt with the worms... But now I am left to deal with this new infestation. |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Bethany: Secret Keeper|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Bethany: It is not the first time The Chronarchivist has brought vermin back from her travels. |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Hold That Liger|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Scarlet Tiger: Who are you and what do you know of us? |
|
Cornerstone: Make her tell us where Coax is! |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Arcane Maneuver|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Bethany: You will find I only do that which I choose to do. And right now I choose to show you the folly of attacking the most powerful sorceress in Tor'gyyl. |
Pyrotheism
| Beginning of Area: Pyrotheism | |
|
|
Chronarchivist: Stop!!! |
|
Chronarchivist: This is Bethany, the most powerful sorceress in this land. As I am sure she already told you. |
|
|
Bethany: I put them to the test while I was waiting for you, old friend. They are formidable but easily provoked. Not a long-lived quality in West Kruna. |
| Beginning of Fight: Worm Rider | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/The Worms Turn|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Bethany: If you cannot even dispatch these Worm Riders properly then I am scared to take you into the bogs. But that is where we must go in pursuit of your missing friends. |
| Beginning of Fight: Hedge Men | |
|
Bethany: Stories of fire-worshipping barbarians and a fire god that walks among them have been wafting from these bogs. |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Hedge Men|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Johnny Tinker: Something is wafting all right but I think it is the rotting corpses that are attacking us. |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Sticks and Stones|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Cornerstone: These Hedge Men smash pretty good. This should not take long. |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Dragged into the Deep|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Scarlet Tiger: Smashing them does not seem to stem the tide at all. The skeletons seem to be a vehicle for the moss and lichen that coats them. I sense a familiar intelligence guiding them. |
| Beginning of Fight: Fire-Worshipping Barbarians | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Wizards and Warriors|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Chronarchivist: I think I figured something out... |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Wizards and Warriors|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Bethany: If you mean unleashing the full fury of our powers then I concur! |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Fire-Worshipping Barbarians|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Fire-Worshipping Barbarian: Cleanse the filth with holy fire! |
|
Fire-Worshipping Barbarian: You have dirtied the land with your tracks. You may come no further. |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Rumble|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Cornerstone: Dirtied the land? FYI, we are in a swamp!! As for going any further... |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Double Up|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Cornerstone: Try and stop us! |
| Beginning of Fight: Ember Hawk | |
|
Team Member: What is incinerating those Hedgemen? And why is it coming at us? |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Ember Hawk|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Team Member: A hawk sculpted out of flame? The professor must be close at hand. |
