The Philler Gang (ran by Aleena, Sebastian Dash, Sir Fumblies and Cattaras Whiteclaw)

Historical recap AiL's first ever roleplay featured Sebastian Dash, an Honorburg veteran. Honorburg wasn't really seen throughout the first season, dominated by KOKOL's battles with the Knob Goblins and Penguin Mafia, except for some phantom versions of Honorburg mobs. It was seen a little later on in Dash's dreams, but it isn't until Season two, deep into the Feline Empire age, that we finally visit it.

The Story so far:After a relaxing summer vacation and downtime following the events of the zombie apocalypse and Degrassi Knoll situation, KOKOL and the Feline Empire are recruited to track down some kidnapped princesses. A second set of missing princesses leads several key figures in both organizations to Honorburg, where one of Dash's old allies, a teleporting hero named Cyber Sunset, joins in the quest. When the princesses are finally saved, however, complications set up to keep them in the city just a little longer.

In a bit of departure from the normal, most of the mission goal unfolds during the mission itself. It all starts when it's discovered Kadlin Bearsmasher has been kidnapped and that Konall is involved. Rather than follow that story, the group of KOKOL'ers and Feline Empire loyalists (as well local city hero Cyber Sunset) get involved in a few internal conflicts. They also explore the city and run into various enemy groups.

Although there's no Kadlin or Konall, nor any notable debuts, we do get a rare treat of a little Vixen, which is always nice. We also run into the Philler Gang for the first few times.

Feature characters: Cyber Sunset debut the last mission but he really makes his presence felt in this one! I've long been under the impression that Sunset's presence was responsible for a noticeable improvement in AiL overall. As the character is based in Honorburg, he was an excellent addition to the mission, the only one so far to take place all in the confines of the 'futuristic' city.
Aleena continues to thrive this mission. She finds her abilities nuetralized on more than one occasion, but when she is able to use her suit and fighting skills, she is quite effective.
Sebastian Dash actually faces death in this mission but pulls through. That's just the start of the action for him, too!
Fahari is starting to really come into her own with this mission. She starts developing a chemistry with Sir Fumblies, which goes a long way here. Speaking of him...
Sir Fumblies can somewhat be considered the first player in the mission (along with Fahari) to really move the focus to the Philler Gang, which makes sense as you'll see in the Finale. We also get a bonus story with Scaros back in the Loathing Kingdom.
Becky Joy is fun as always! All four of her Knob Goblins are here in the story at some point or another.
Todd Blackpaws comes in a little late, but is impressive in the co writes he's in. He teams up with Becky and meets a cute local city girl.
And featuring: A few pirates, Black Paladin, the Feline Goddess, the House, Jester King of Beasts, Milly, Scaros, the spirit of Sneaky Pete, Vixen, Catrina Whiteclaw and several local Honorburg heroes (including Spectrum) and citizens.
Antagonists for the series include (not necessarily limited to): The Fifth Column, The Geppetto Faction, Liet Nien, the Philler Gang, Leo T. Philler, the Ya-Te-Veo tree and other random thugs, including a bugbear gang.
