Plot Summary

Gwyneth Sunsword heads a caravan of three captive kobolds and a porc traveling towards their prison at the Silver Mine Mountains. She is accompanied by her current boyfriend Kallark, her two ex-boyfriends Xavius and Bob, and fan fiction writer Dave. As they prepare to head off, the four meet with the rest of the elves in the group. Ian Bates is a new recruit, Rufio is enthusiastic to read Dave's fanfic starring Rufio as Gwyneth's boyfriend, Zack tries to sell a condo to Xavius, and Fizzy Wizzy has pyrophobia but only knows Fireball. They also check in with the kobold and porc prisoners in the carriage. Goggles is obsessed with treasures, Mormo pretends to be blind, Rebooc is a straggler who only says "Kobold", and Jakelad finishes a song about kobolds with help from Kallark.

When the caravan enters a canyon, Gwyneth warns the others of ytts, monkey-like rock creatures that take on the appearance of their attackers. As the group starts attacking them, Ian is accidentally shot by Bob, is pulled to safety from a large boulder by Xavius, goes unconscious, is used by Xavius as a meat shield from another one of Bob's stray arrows, and dies. The boulder pins Kallark to the canyon wall, so he casts Enlarge on himself and crushes it. The ytts begin to randomly morph into characters from other campaigns, and one ytt jumps into Gwyneth and Rufio, controlling their minds to attack the party briefly. Dave realizes he left his personal chest behind, and spends the rest of the combat retrieving it. The enlarged Kallark picks up the carriage, moves forward, and catches a boulder to throw at a ytt along the way. The rest of the ytts are cleared out and the party pass through the canyon.

Gwyneth is aggravated with the team for their costly mistakes, especially Bob. The caravan camps at a river to rest up, and Gwyneth professes to Kallark that she is pregnant and cannot lead the Sunswords in the future. She makes Kallark promise to keep it a secret, despite his eagerness to tell the others. As Xavius and Rufio go to bury Ian, Xavius uses the Spell of Bearding on himself to win back Gwyneth. Dave arrives, also with a beard, to pay respects to Ian. Bob checks over the prisoners again, during which Goggles reveals his own Ring of Fire. Jakelad sings his newly completed song, prompting the kobolds to beat on him, and Bob rounds the prisoners up. Two goblins come up to the camp with items to sell, but the elves ignore them, while Bob is interested. Dave murders one of the goblins, as a funk sprays Kallark with a nice-smelling substance. Showing some mercy, the group throws the surviving goblin, Greeky, in with the prisoners.

Meanwhile, Bob reports to Gwyneth, who is reading one of Dave's books, then he spies on her for a few minutes. In order to knock over a pillar to cross the river, Fizzy Wizzy and Dave cast the Spell of Bearding on it, to no avail. Phineas catches up to the group to deliver his mother's cookies to Xavius, his older cousin. He pleads with Xavius to join the adventure, and he eventually agrees. He learns the Spell of Bearding and the Spell of Shaving and gets a Warp Blade off the dead goblin. Xavius and Dave are forced to shave their overgrown beards. Kallark accidentally reveals that Gwyneth is pregnant to the group, and when Gwyneth finds out, she is furious and breaks up with Kallark.

The caravan crosses the river and see a burning barn, from which they hear children screaming. Phineas, Rufio, and Fizzy Wizzy stay with the carriage and the five others approach the building. They encounter several groups of Fire Spirits, the first of which Dave easily clears out. Due to the funk spray, an imaginary funk named Carlos interrupts Kallark from acting. The group also starts hearing the cries of Pot Puppies, possibly coming from deeper in the barn. When Dave proceeds into the fire spirit-infested building, he picks up the Leader's Heartoak Staff, allowing him to control the heart of his leader. A Flame Spooky erupts from the flames of the barn, instantly killing Fizzy Wizzy. It spawns more fire spirits, creates tethers to characters that divert some damage to them, and unleashes large lines of flame towards them. Just as Gwyneth approaches the two kobold children, Dave uses his staff to keep her from desiring the children, and make her go after the puppies. Dave himself escorts the kids out the barn's back, discovering that the puppies are actually just the sounds of a toy. Kallark enlarges himself to carry the kids on his shoulders. Everyone else escapes the barn to deal with the Flame Spooky, causing it to shrink and finally dissipate.

Trivia

• This campaign is the first to feature a player playing the role of a previously NPC character.
• This campaign is the first time Coestar has broken his theme of playing characters named thanks or something similar in different languages.
• Due to the appearance of characters from the first three campaigns, and this campaign being established as occurring before others, The Sunswords had to uphold continuity in the timeline. Therefore, Dave and other preexisting characters couldn't die, or a paradox would be created.
