End of the Heroic Age: Fallout (ran by Catrina, Dash and Konall)

The Story so far: Eager to end the longstanding feud with the Knob Goblins by putting them down permanently, the Kingdom of KOL sought out the approval of the Council of Loathing. After fufilling the Council's condition, the Council promised the Kingdom of KOL their support for their war efforts.. and were immediatly rewarded with a Knob Goblin invasion of Seaside Town!

This is the third part of three missions in a row. AiL has been building up to this finale for a while now.

You can read more about this in the notes on the rollover. Since its beginning, we've seen dozens of player characters, probably hundreds of NPC's and enemies, a total of twelve missions and several dozens of roleplays, co writes, and more recently, Live RP's. We've done missions with two parts and missions with two parts. (The Finale features two missions leading directly into a this mission, which has two parts to it.) We've laid storylines that only got their big payoff years later, and storylines that paid off immediately.. and in a few cases, didn't pay off at all. We've also ran the gauntlet on writing styles as all. There've been more light hearted tales, and heavier tales, including some serious tear jerking moments.

Shadow and Gail (Awakensun) debut during this one, but haven't been seen since. Other than Raw Hide (or the retired Feena and Riko), all the 'big names' for AIL were here, along with several other regulars, and Sir Fumblies, who debut the previous mission and goes on to really establish himself here. We've also several zombie battles in addition to surprise after plot twist for our epic finale, featuring a Live RP, ten single author roleplays, and 11 co writes, as well as a multisection Rollover and a 5 part epic Mission Finale set.

 
I'm definitely pleased with how we capped off the first season! Thank you to all involved!

Feature characters: Sir Fumblies makes his second mission a memorable one, staying in the action with his own story and still managing to get involved in co writes with various different players. Story wise, what he discovers ends up being a key part to later parts of the zombie Finale.
Kadlin Bearsmasher really ups her game as she joins up with the Feline Empire and goes on through various stories leading towards her part in the Mission Finale.
Shamus XTreme makes the best of his single appearance, as we find out things weren't quite the way the seemed in Rollover. Will the end result be the same, though?
Konall Bearsmasher pulls up some impressive roleplays and leads one of the three armies in the zombie finale.
Catrina Whiteclaw makes her impact more in the Rollover and Finale, but also shows up in a single co write with Fumblies.
Becky Joy is another character who manages to get her co writes with a variety of characters. She's her usual silly self- but we do get to see an unexpected 'new side' to her.
Sebastian Dash is still recovering early on in this one, but goes on to make an impact from mid to late roleplaying once he is recovered, teaming with Todd Blackpaws to infiltrate Degrassi Knoll!
Todd Blackpaws, meanwhile, is in every Dash piece except for the one where Lapine heals the unconscious Dash, bringing him back from the verge of death. We learn a fair bit about the history of Blackpaws here.
Aleena debuts with a strong prologue to the Live RP where she's the center piece to the story as she recovers from her ship's crashing to join up with Konall and the KOKOL forces.

And featuring: Catrina Whiteclaw and the remaining Elite 7, Shadow Darkstep, Awakensun, Lapine, Janos, Vixen, Maximal Thordicus, King Mtiger and his plexiglass clockwork ninja zombie pirate robot, Prince Blahking, Fluffy Hamster, the mysterious Kwadlin, the Committee For Drastic And Unnecessarily Lethal Solutions, several Knob Goblins and Knollish people, Mimi & Blake, Mayor Zapruder, Inu the comma chameleon, Slit, invisible ninjas, Raw Hide, Truss, KOKOL's forces, an unlucky mafia Penguin and Muri-Dan, an unnamed little girl being attacked by zombies, and Larry (in two forms).
Antagonists for the series include (not necessarily limited to): An unending army of the undead. Including zombie cults and a zombie dragon. And a sea-monster and a Death Elemental of Doom.
KOKOL also finds itself fighting several Elite 7 candidates and wannabe's in the Degrassi mission.
