Bopen the Skeleton King is a childhood story that most believe to still just be merely a story. No one seriously takes the idea of an all powerful Ageless pirate king plundering the high seas as fact, up until the moment they hear his cackle with their own ears. Born from the rubble of Dundinborough, Bopen is shrouded in mystery but the real power of this self proclaimed Skeleton King will soon start to unravel.

Summary

We come in with Bopens crewmen of Clott, Luca and Tobias leading a few ageless into taking a few captives from a ship they are raidng. After a little killing, Are'ani along with some elves surrender, and when Bopen himself comes to offer them the choice to join or die, only Are'ani and 2 others accept his offer. As Are'ani does, she recieves a vison of Romulus leaving Karazhem to find Nina Brando, causing Bopen to notice the latent Dreamweaver power in her, and once back on his ship, he grants her Nader's Old Cane. Luca the chef seems to be enjoying cooking a ton of odd things, and Cloott is told they are heading back to Dundinborough to recruit. Once they arrive, they begin recruiting a few new people. They have a few failed recruits and a sandbold-magic version of Maelstrom leaves them a cryptic message. However, they do recruit Jimmy Jams, a berserker gnome; Ghostblade, a legendary assassin; Fatty Frank a keen ageless; and lastly Krunger, the Ogre King, who tries to upsurp Clott as Quartermaster, but once Clott faces and does well against him on his own, Krungor submits to him.

Back on the ship, Bopen explains the rules of the ship to the new crew, then asks Are'ani to tell him whats about to happen using her Dreamweaver powers, and she claims a behemoth will attack, and Bopen cackles, as the pet behemoth attacks the ship for the recruits to train against. Luca uses Fatty Frank to grab materials for food, Tobias takes Jimmmy to serve as a cannoneer, using Patches as a cannonball, Are'ani nearly drowns and has another vison of King Rohbear Leomaris, and Clott seems to just chat with Ghostblade. As the behemoth battle reaches its climax, Luca accidentally kills Frank, and Ghostblade finally enters the fight but fumbles off the ship, Bopen steps in and forces the beast to retreat, happy with the test. Afterword, Bopen forces Luca to cut off his nipples, to serve to him as a meal, then doesn't eat what he was given, instead granting him the skull of the Queen of Dundinborough for him to cook with. Are'ani tells him of her vision, and he's pleased, knowing to nurture her Dreamweaver abilities. Happy with the test, Clott praises Krungor, and Ghostblade defends his clumsiness earlier by saying Bopen had him on a secret mission to kill a mutineer while everyone was distracted defeating the behemoth.

The ship then lands at a small Kobold town for them to raid and pillage. Having used his new skull to make tea, Luca shares it with several people. This saps Ghostblade into a Halfwit, Krungor becomes Charasmatic and Filthy, and Jimmy becomes a Daredevil. While the remaining drinkers didn't notice much a of a difference when they had a drink. The entirety of Bopens crew proceeds to begin their slaughter of the town. After a solid start, Luca tries to smother a child to death and Clott is about to kill a child, when suddenly, the entire village vanishes, as well as Ghostblade. Bopen seems a bit sad Ghostblade is gone, but happy with the remaining loot. Are'ani breaks into a vision of Virgo and Gwyneth talking about Nisovin's search for Dalfgan, and on revealing it to Bopen, Bopen decides its time to go face Virgo telling his crew to prepare to hunt some Sunswords.

As they sail toward the Sunsword, Bopen calls for Tobias, granting him tentacle arm staff with the request that that they will work together forever. Jimmy seems to be questioning leaving the crew, but Clott tells him to stay true to the pirate way, so Jimmy goes to see Luca, who feeds him with some of his special drink. Krungor is preparing for battle, when Are'ani uses her Medusa powers to charm him into being her friend for life. As they get into range, Virgo notices them approach, so he jumps onto the deck to engage Bopen.

Clott slides right next to Bob on the Sunsword's ship, but Bob Seismic Slams him. Tobias gets the cannons ready, then fires himself to the other ship, while Are'ani swaps herself after having Krongor throw her via her witch powers to get him to land on the Sunswords ship as well. When Tobias cast Blanket of darkness, Phineas decides to 'help' and amplifies the spell to cover both ships decks. While Clott avoids getting his skull smashed, resorting to using his Lay on Hands Scroll to heal himself, while Tobias hits Bob with Arcano Paintbomb to help keep his ally safe, and Krungor is held at bay until he smashes a few of them himself. Tobias decides to detonate the Blanket of Darkness to keep the sanity of everyone on the field, knocking Phineas overboard and when Bob comes back into the fight after being knocked back, challenging Clott to a fight, only to be blasted off with 2 other sunswords off into the distance by a Mighty Breeze scroll and Tobias is able to convert all of the remaining Sunswords on deck to attacking each other. Meanwhile, a few Sunswords head below deck of Bopen's ship, ignoring Luca to focus on the other Ageless manning the cannons, leaving them open for Luca shooting them between their eyes. Are'ani is able to counterattack and kill a Sunsword going after her, before she heads bellow deck to flee from a few sunswords. The sunswords following Are'ani proceed to fight the Ageless bellow the deck, causing Luca to knock over his food, enraging him so he unleashes a barrage killing them easily. Krungor ignores the last few sunswords to help Bopen with Virgo, but Bopen decaptiates one of his heads due to Krungor interfering with a battle, and knocks him out. Bopen then resumes fighting Virgo, stabbing Virgo in the chest. Near death, Virgo continues to fight, stating his belief in the light as Bopen taunts him, before grappling then suplexing Bopen and shattering his skull into a million pieces. With Hope restored, Virgo resumed helping his Sunswords until he hears a voice laughing .....a headless Bopen arises and slices off Virgo's head. Catching the head in his hand, Bopen burns off the flesh from Virgo's skull, turning it black before claiming it as his own.

Trivia

• This is the 10th Campaign to have all it's Supporter Events financed, and the 11th Campaign to have all it's Supporter Events happen.
• The Supporter Events "Lifelines" and "The Sandbolds" set up playable characters for a future campaign in Season 3.
  • The "Ghostblade" Supporter Event also had an impact on Season 3, but because they added Ghostblade into the crew, he won't be able to kill a Player Character from this campaign next season.
