Holiday (by Sebastian Dash and Sir Fumblies)

Historical recap:   Things were simpler once. Not simple, mind you. Not during KOKOL's consecutive wars with Pertene and later the Knob Goblin kingdom, but simpler than they would be later. Some of KOKOL's best, such as Prince Blahking, King MTiger and Konall Bearsmasher, were joined by newcomers like Catrina Whiteclaw, Sebastian Dash and Feena in righteous battles against the Knob Goblins, Penguin mafia and the demons of Hey Daze. It was in Hey Daze where the seeds that would change everything were planted. Soon after, Catrina found herself struggling with her very literal inner demons who were tied to the "dark ones" of Catrina's religion. The war with the Knob Goblins escalated to the point where KOKOL had to go to the Council of Loathing to request official support and sanction for the war. After monotonous trials and tasks, they got it that support during a ceremony in Seaside Town- which is when the Knob Goblin King and the original Elite 7 attacked in full force! During the battle, Elite 7 member Jester King, with the backing of allies Cattaras Whiteclaw and Daisuke, turned on the Knob Goblin king. Along with Kadlin Bearsmasher, Becky Joy, Sir Fumblies and others, Catrina defected and transformed the Feline Empire, which clashed with KOKOL in Degrassi but teamed with them against a greater threat. They faced down a zombie apocalypse. Although most of the major players survived, Seaside Town had to be almost totally rebuilt after the carnage.


The Story so far:   A new faction was established but the changes were only starting. After chasing princesses at home and abroad and being kidnapped to a mirror dimension known as the "flipverse," our heroes and anti heroes alike were shaken with each group having been coerced into battling their own side. Sir Fumblies of the Empire, KOKOL veteran Konall and others from both factions joined Zed Shinestone and other new names, forming the Third Empire, and setting up a potential three way struggle.

St. Boris Day's quickly approaching, however. This year, Father Crimbo is hosting several holiday events. But there are forces who would wish to kidnap him. Who'll work together? And whose own holiday traditions will have them wanting to fight Crimbo for their own reasons? If that wasn't bad enough, the slavers and some escapees from Hey Daze are ready to raise a little mayhem as well.

Welcome to one of the most epic missions in AiL history!

Elements, debuts, character deaths..

Feature characters: Lalucia. Although Lalucia's debut mission has her focusing almost exclusively on her rescue efforts for Cattaras Whiteclaw and Becky Joy, she still covers a great deal of space and story in her four co-writes for the mission. The character's conflicts with her allies, big and small, fleshes out the story tremendously and her abilities in the fighting field are well defined as well. Debuting with her are her Kobold assistants as well as potential rival Davrom.

Aleena and the space elves, who are named as the Morlencir in a later mission, made their own impact on the mission with Aleena being replaced in the main story by fellow Morlencir spacefarers Jen, Glyn, Tarvel and Raven.
Zed Shinestone stars in a couple solos as well as a couple roleplays and really impresses himself on this mission. He runs into both an old acquaintance, Snow White, and a Hey Daze manager, the Queen of Hate. Zed shines here with some fun storytelling.
Sir Fumblies is once again centerstage for the story. Kwadlin issues threats from beyond the grave, while Zedika Dark targets Fumbiles's life. Fumblies has a major announcement involving his part in the Knob Goblins' death. Fumblies somehow continues to tell an engaging story that's all his but still has a major impact on AiL overall.
Konall Bearsmasher, a veteran of AIL by any means, really captures the holiday spirit in this series even though others were much more active. After his and Dash's goodbye to Aleena, Konall battles his sister Kadlin and thyme mage Slit over the right to steal from Crimbo. Konall also has a solo RP homage to the 12 days of Christmas. Nice stuff.
Sassy Snake manages to return to AIL for this one in a solo act, which she follows up with a meeting with Dash. It's good to see her innocent charm again.
Cattaras Whiteclaw has a few odd character moments, but despite that, he's able to make a mark on the mission. He serves as the perfect symbol of the hybrids' collective ever burning desire for revenge against the heartless slavers.
Becky Joy has her moments as well. Like Cattaras, she's captured along the way and has to fight for her freedom- and the freedom of others. We see a darker side of Becky at times in this one.
Fahari gets some heartbreaking news on Sir Fumblies but she's still at his side. She's also featured in an enjoyable side trip to the R U Catgirl? store where we get the rare treat of furry NPC's.
Sebastian Dash rounds up our feature list as he continues to be present in every AIL mission ever. Along with tons of action, he meets up with Katherine, the space elves, Sassy Snake and more.
