ALTERNATE FATE LORE


You hide Cams in every bush and under every turret on the Rise. The ensuing footage is mostly boring – minions slaughtering one another, a river troll napping – but some of it is gold. You start the hit hidden camera show Sovereign’s Spies. On episode one, millions tune in to watch a snooty seraphim fall into the stream while admiring his reflection. Soon after comes the episode where a monkey fixes his wedgie, but the one where the undead viking guy argues with the old mage about whose back aches worse goes viral. Your ad revenue skyrockets and you become a worldwide star.

“Wait – how can you have state-of-the-art Buffed, Boosted and Multi Cams for sale already?”

“These are ScoutPaks, ScoutTuffs and the SuperScout 2000,” squeaks the bug. “Trademarked.”

“My cousin developed these. They’re definitely the Buffed, Boosted and Multi models,” you argue.

“Your cousin should bone up on his patent law,” said the bug. “Churnguard Industries got the tech, they did the paperwork and now they’re raking in the cash.”

“That shouldn’t be allowed to happen!”

“Absolutely not.”

“I won’t allow it to stand! Justice will have 20/20 vision!”

“So, one SuperScout 2000?”

“Yes, please,” you mumble, handing over the gold.

After making an elaborate unboxing video, you have a super cool idea.

Tony’s Rise: The Truth

  • Vainglory

You close your eyes and whisper, “I want to know what’s really going on inside this mountain.”

The Teleport Boots buzz, your stomach turns inside-out… and you’re in a narrow courtyard with tall walls and a zillion raven perches. “Wait. What?” you whisper. You meant to go inside the mountain. “Why…”

“Look who’s come to visit us, Vyn.”

You spin to face the voice, then fall to your knees before a woman dressed all in black, her face half-covered with a horned mask. Before you can respond, a raven swoops down onto your shoulder, its head turned, one eye staring into yours.

“Yuh… yuh… your highness,” you stutter. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to…”

“You have a question,” says the woman. On her cheeks, you can see the edges of brutal scars. “Ask it. If I don’t like it, I’ll give your eyes to Vyn for his dinner.”

The raven on your shoulder lets out a loud croak into your ear.

You squeeze your eyes shut and will yourself away somewhere… anywhere! …but the overheated Teleport Boots need to cool down. You screw up your courage and ask.

“What… what’s the secret the dwarves are keeping inside this mountain?”

The Storm Queen smiles. “The secret inside this mountain,” she says, “Is a Well of Power.”

“So that’s why we came,” you whisper. “And they won’t let me see it because they want to keep me safe. And -”

“You may go,” says the queen, and leaves you alone with the creepy bird.

The raven stares while you wave the smoke off of your boots. “I’m going, I’m going,” you grumble, then teleport back to the Rise.

Tony’s Rise: The Happy Place

ALTERNATE FATE LORE


Your eyes close. Your mind clears. The world around you falls away as you think of your happy place. After a long moment, you realize it’s quiet and warm.

You open one eye.

A hammock under you swings with the gentle breeze. You’re on a sunny, balmy island covered with fine sand and palm trees. In your hand is a fruity drink with a little umbrella poking out. A squawking gull sails overhead.

Sovereign’s Rise is gone. Mont Lille is gone. No evil queens. No dwarves to boss you around, ever again.

You take the teleport boots off and throw them away forever.

Tony’s Rise: Buy Teleport Boots

“Teleport Boots. Definitely.”

You waste no time: after pulling them on, you stare at a rock a short distance away and… you appear on the head of a minion who’s busy peeing over the edge of the Rise. Teetering, wheeling your arms, you manage to fall backward into a brush.

It worked! Your belly is gurgling and the boots are smoking, but it worked! You could go anywhere! Maybe somewhere warm. Or… you could find out what’s really going on at the center of the mountain.

Tony’s Rise: Explore Alone

“Look, Koshka.” You peel the girl from your back and she crouches, claws on the ground, just like a kitty. “Dragons went extinct a long time ago.”

“But…” she whines.

You sigh and pat her head. “Sorry. I have work to do.” You gather up your blueprints and point at them, making you look super professional, and walk off.

But the more you wander, the more you doubt yourself. There are some things up on this Rise that you’ve never heard of. Like trees with faces and glowing branches, and a giant toad who mumbles to himself while counting gold pieces.

“You want my gold, don’t you!” the toad cries, huffing his way over to you.

“Um.” You back up.

“You can’t have it! It’s mine!” The toad croaks and jumps, blocking your path. His long tongue whips out at you, leaving a smelly gross smear on your cheek. He’s coming at you, bobbing and weaving. You duck out of his way, shuffle to one side with your arms up, and let loose with a jab and right cross to his bulging neck. He coughs, wheezes, spins and falls in dramatic fashion, his gold stash clinking to the cobbles.

You look left. You look right. The toad gurgles.

“You’re gonna want that gold,” whispers a voice above you. “Grab it up and come see me.”

Startled, you look up and see a parachute floating through the air overhead, gripped by a tiny, almost invisible bug.

You scoop up as much gold as you can carry and chase after the parachute. By the time you catch up, the bug’s wares are floating close to the ground.

You don’t know what you expected from an insect’s trove, but it wasn’t this. Cool armor, weapons, a freaking Flare Loader, bits of charged crystal, and whoa… Teleport Boots. You’ve heard about this legendary footwear, developed by the kind of dwarves who refuse to sit with you at lunchtime, but you were never allowed to try them out.

Then again, you can also afford a sweet boost for your Scout Cam…

Tony’s Rise: Save Yourself!

“I’m paid to dig holes, not clobber dragons,” you say, backing up. You race as fast as your short legs will take you all the way back down the mountain.

Back underground, you tell the others about the dragon. Saw it with your own eyes, you did, the real thing.

“My mom always said,” you tell them, “There’s all sorts of foolishness aboveground, and dwarves aren’t fools.”

You refuse to go back out there, no, never again. You gather together a band of dwarves who want nothing to do with wars and dragons and whatever mysterious thing hides under the mountain. The Undergrounders, you call yourselves, and together you defect from the engineers forever, spending your lives in pursuit of enlightenment and peace.

Tony’s Rise: Fight Blackclaw!

  • Vainglory

You give chase, avoiding turrets and another pair of scary raven statues, these ones holding shields. By the time you catch up with Koshka, you’re heaving for breath a short distance from Blackclaw, who looks even bigger on the ground.

“Look, I’m just a demolition guy,” you whine.

“Psshh, Blackclaw is easysauce,” says Koshka.

“Comin’ through!” A huge masked guy, bent back with the weight of his huge gun, runs straight at Blackclaw – and before he can take one shot, he’s swallowed whole.

That’s easysauce?” you cry.

“Don’t be scared!” cries Koshka as she leaps onto the dragon’s tail.

Out from behind a clump of crystals, a giant Grangor runs toward Blackclaw with an axe. Behind him, a cowgirl takes aim with two pistols. The dragon snorts and whips around just in time for a mech to leap right on the dragon’s head. The mech’s driver is a girl holding on for dear life and whooping with joy.

“I’m… I’m not scared!” you yell. You run in right as the dragon shakes the mech off and roars. A stream of fire belches out of him, singeing your eyebrows. You deliver an uppercut to his long neck while the cowgirl litters him with bullet holes and the big Grangor slashes him with his axe. The mech unsheathes a giant sword and the girl drives in close. The dragon turns and roars its roasting rage.

With one last burst of courage you deliver a hard punch right to the dragon’s eye.

The cowgirl, the cat girl, the Grangor and the mech all back up. Blackclaw whimpers, shakes his head, then takes to the air.

“We did it!” Koshka grabs your power punchers and dances. “Now he’s gonna fight for us!”

“But I’m not really a fighter…”

“You’re one of us now,” calls Koshka, running after the dragon.

You run under the dragon’s shadow. He lands and, true to Koshka’s word, starts laying waste to anything in your team’s way. Turrets and armories shiver and explode under his terrifying claws; enemy heroes are burnt to a crisp. At the end of the road, shields topple off of the largest, glowiest crystal you’ve ever seen.

Koshka jumps on it with all fours, scratching at it. The Grangor’s axe and the cowgirl’s bullets create long cracks in it. You go at it with your punchers. The girl with the mech slams her fist down on a big red button and a blinding beam blasts out.

You jump away just in time. The crystal shivers, then explodes, flinging Koshka into your arms.

“Holy crap! That was awesome!” she yells. “Suck it, bad guys!”

Tony’s Rise: Go With Koshka

“There haven’t been dragons for a thousand years,” you tell Koshka.

“There’s totally a dragon, and we’re gonna be his friend,” she says. “I just need help bopping it on the head.”

“You don’t wanna be my friend, I hope,” you say.

“Look!” The girl points to the sky just as a whoosh of air from a giant wing blows your hairdo out of whack. It’s a dragon. A real one, with real teeth and claws, with sparks trailing out of its real nostrils!

Koshka hops down and claps with glee. “It’s him! It’s Blackclaw!”

“That’s… great. I gotta go.”

C’mon.” Koshka takes off.

“Stop!” you yell. “This is madness!”

The little minions pause to stare at you in confusion. The circular blade whizzes past again, taking out one little fuzzy ear. The half-deaf minion squeals and picks up his lost ear, in shock.

“Go,” says the Captain Minion, and the minions start fighting again.

Don’t go!” you cry, and the minions stop again. “If you banded together, you could demand better treatment!”

“Better feet-wet!” cries the nearest minion, then they all start chanting. “Feet-WET! Feet-WET!”

“You should unionize!

“Onion-Eyes!” The minions climb onto one another’s shoulders until they are a tall, wobbling mass of fuzz. Even the enemy stops to watch as the unionized minions march past the Captain Minion. “ONION-EYES! ONION-EYES!”

The Captain Minion shakes his head as you guide the mass of minions back to the safety of the Sanctuary.
