Fort Triumph: No Comeuppance

[Part of the Cursed story line]

Lady Aveline leads the survivors to an old scriptorium where her librarians have researched a solution to counter Avathas' immortality. The arrival of Cyron spells the end of his nameless researchers though, but through a combined effort they finally manage to slay the skeleton mage as unexpected help arrives in the form of Trynne Ocean! (For real, the starter mage was dead but apparently the story needed a mage to say some lines so they gave us a new one, lol).

With a second squad of their friends (Este, Ames, Little Pirate, Garrett and Iris) covering them from enemy mercs and disrupting the flow of enemy beetcoins (yes that is the currency, which you farm for), Aveline's party with her original hires go to confront Avathas in his lair, using magic pillars Trynne summons and activates to weaken him. It is Anythera that eventually crushes his skull to permanently end him.

Pleased with this result Lady Aveline pays them in full and clears their name, returning to her estate while Gharbarak quietly vanishes to his goblin commune. A happy ending for everyone?

That was a pretty short campaign and obviously Fort Triumph caters more for PvP with various factions, but other than their graphics the hero units seem functionally the same. Not sure if I'd recommend it.

Fort Triumph: Backstabbing Everybody

[Part of the Cursed story line]

Even underground, bounty hunters and mercenaries manage to track the squad but the Cocks find a surprising ally in Cyron - an undead bone mage who claims the goblin warlord is wielding a scepter that enslaves the dead. Cyron helps the team defeat their pursuers and the weak undead serving the goblins but upon beating up General Gharbarak he quickly betrays them and steals the scepter for himself before vanishing.

In exchange for his aid and information, Gharbarak - who works for Lady Aveline - is spared from execution as he explains Cyron works for Avathas and the scepter is his backup plan should he be killed: Cyron will raise him as a lich!? Clearly Cyron knows how to use the scepter much more proficiently than the goblin.

In hopes to stop this, the team and Gharbarak pursue Cyron into the deeper crypts where they find Lady Aveline and her quickly diminishing troop being ambushed by undead! Rushing to her aid once more they fight off waves of undead, followed by her raised guards, followed by more mercenaries who manage to slay the sorceress! Only, the slay the wrong one - stabbing Rue to death before being eliminated. Down a member the entire party must really flee when Avathas the Lich arrives as he is invulnerable to attack!

Fort Triumph: The Assassin is You

[Part of the Cursed story line]

An increase of goblin activity leads Lady Aveline to hire Even, Rue, Macius, and Anythera to sort it out. While going from village to village the team meets up with Paladin Lord Avathas who is also taking measures to stem the goblin threat but instead of allying with the Cocks, he orders them to stand down as to not take away from his glory.

The team go to Lady Aveline's residence to report this just in time to save her from some mercs (though she probably could have handled them herself given her magic proficiency), and she persists that they go out-do her political rival Avathas. They proceed to engage the main goblin army led by their goblin general Gharbarak who also has some skeletons in his ranks? Avathas is also here and already attacking, but he is assassinated mid-engagement by a human soldier!

Outnumbered by the goblins the team drops pillars and trees on their enemies (the game strongly encourages scenery destruction) while retreating to the underground. Soon after Lady Aveline convinces the rest of the realm that they were the ones who murdered Avathas and promises to bring them to justice.

Wildermyth: Suicidal Dragon

[Part of the Cursed story line]

With many lands aflame Trynne recruits rookie Lillo to help douse the fires while Levyel and Jainlof's crew seek out the dragon's new lair. During this process Jainlof accidentally frees a frog god who turns him into a frog face and Raine is "cursed" by a lizard priest to have useless baby wings.

Eventually they locate their target at a volcano and fight their way in, past fireball throwing lizard scum to challenge the dragon and its elite guard at the summit. Luckily the silly beast enjoys triggering the free attacks of the party (everyone had some form of auto-overwatch and envenomed weapon except Jainlof) and basically defeats itself!

After murdering the last of the elite guard the remaining lizards withdraw and the team of dragon slayers return as heroes! Unfortunately for Jainlof, he cannot undo the frog god's magic and soon turns into a bogmoor. His axe guard hesitate too much during the transformation which lets him escape into the woods.

Wildermyth: Lizard Wizard

[Part of the Cursed story line]

Emboldened by their new dragon "savior", whom a lizard wizard used magic on to speed up the hatchery and growth process, the lizard folk restart their raids in earnest - this time taking treasure to add to the dragon's hoard. Jainlof and his axe guard of Raine, Les and his brother Even help in keeping them at bay, while Rick and company make their way to the Mythic Canyon where they face the dragon in person!

It is a short scuffle before the dragon takes flight and flees against Rick's cheating ways, leaving the lizard wizard that raised him to cover his escape by collapsing the canyon on top of them all - flattening Tymric and the lizard wizard in the process.

The angry dragon then begins burning the land in fire at which point Rick nopes the hell out of there with his family using his portal gun (game wise they all aged out/retired), but not before leaving the Cocks some venom Beth milked from Jerry's scorpion appendage to give them a fighting chance.
