kobold warren, where this adventure takes place. The group includes Gelpnir the high elven warrior, Bits the halfling rogue, Soraglad the dragonborn sorcerer, and Milena the human druid.


Added DiffLines:

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Milena attempts to turn into a bear, but since druids can only shapeshift twice a day, she can't, as she already turned into an octopus and a sparrow.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Milena as a druid deeply loves all of the natural world and the creatures within. However, she can get pushed to her limits.
* HeroAntagonist: The heroes are against the kobolds, however, their dislike is purely due to the kobold interference, they did not come to kill the kobold.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Soraglad delivers the first TotalPartyKill by hitting all five kobolds with an Ice Storm. He also uses his flame breath to kill two kobolds and severely maim two more. Bits the halfling does kill several at once by throwing the kobolds into a swift river.
* RageQuit: Soraglad gets frustrated enough with the kobolds to decide killing them is simpler, and immediately blasts them with Ice Storm.
* ReligiousBruiser: You do not interrupt Soraglad when he is in prayer. It will go very badly. Milena, as a druid, also has divine backing.
* TotalPartyKill: Gelpnir is pulled into a river and her party fails to rescue her as Dakrid the Healthy bites her face preventing her from helping herself. Bits races on a minecart that crashes into a wall (while this does not kill him, it renders him unconscious and he succumbs to his wounds afterwords since no one can assist him), Soraglad is dropped into a crevasse, and a group of kobolds swarms and kills Milena enough for Krawky the Forgiving to sling her in the head, the last wound in the DeathOfAThousandCuts.

* DwindlingParty: Slowly, but surely, they start to die as the Jenga Tower in real life gets less stable.

!!Killian
-->'''Played by:''' Andy Farrant

A nerd in the camp.
----
* HonourBeforeReason: The party slows down while dragging an injured camper home, but Killian adamantly refuses to leave him.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's arrogant and snarky, but firmly believes NoOneGetsLeftBehind and cares for his fellows.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Just to show that ''Dread'' isn't messing around, the initial rapids don't do him in, but a rock snaps his neck. ''Then'' the werewolf savages his body, just to dispel any doubt.]]
* MaliciousMisnaming: Some of the times that Killian calls Brad "Gregg", he's clearly doing it deliberately to express his annoyance with Brad.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler:Sadly, his efforts to drag along an unconscious friend force Andy to do a skill check. This causes the Jenga tower to collapse and means that Killian's efforts to save his life only gets him killed as well.]]

!!Madison
-->'''Played by:''' Ellen Rose

The de-facto leader of the band of survivors.
----
* ClothingDamage: Discussed and parodied. Madison tears some of her clothing as tinder to light a fire. Luke allows this because in slasher flicks, the leading lady's clothes always get torn.
* GenreSavvy: Madison recognizes the werewolf for what it is almost as soon as it reveals itself, mentioning that she's drawing on horror films she's seen in the past, and plans her subsequent actions accordingly.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Madison sleeps to regain her strength to fight the werewolf, only to be gotten in her sleep.]]
* YouWatchTooMuchX: Brad and Killian's initial reaction when Madison suggests they're up against a werewolf is to say that she's watched too many movies and the situation is bad enough without getting fiction confused with reality.

!!Brad
-->'''Played by:''' Mike Channell

A college football star, and bit of a jerk.
----
* ItsAllAboutMe: Brad cares about Brad. And that's it. He plans on keeping the tour guide's keepsake rather than delivering it to his wife. [[spoiler:when he survives he can't remember the names of anyone who died to help him survive.]]
* JerkJock: Brad is a star college footballer who acts like the world revolves around him.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Some of the times that Killian calls Brad "Gregg", he's clearly doing it deliberately to express his annoyance with Brad.

[[folder:The antagonists]]
!!The wolves

A pack of marauding wolves that pursues the campers.
----
* SavageWolves: Justified. The werewolf has scared them into compliance and is leading them on a bloody hunt.

!!The Werewolf
A werewolf that has coerced the local wolves into submission, leading them on the warpath against any humans.
----
* AlphaAndBetaWolves: The trio are menaced by a wolf pack under control of a werewolf that has taken over as the pack's alpha. Ellen points out the ArtisticLicenceBiology involved in an out-of-character aside.

!!Lord Hortingly
-->'''Played by:''' Luke Westaway

A naval veteran desperately looking for love.
----
* RepressionNeverEndsWell: Lord Hortingly's ability to explode people with his mind is specified to be an outlet for his rigorously repressed emotions. He's initially not consciously aware that he's the one exploding people, and is horrified when he realises.
* ThunderboltIron: He wields two katanas apparently made from meteoric iron.
* TwiceShy: Hortingly and his lost love Bella are both still in love with each other, but due to living in a society characterised by timidity and emotional repression, neither can bring themselves to make the first move.

!!Queen Beatrice Poppy
-->'''Played by:''' Liv Kennedy

The career-seeking queen of the country, whose rule is being contested. She also really likes large hats, and the game takes place in a nightclub she favours.
----
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Beatrice has no interest in starting a family and is focused on being a Queen. However, the people who support the sort of absolute monarch Beatrice wants to be also support [[RoyalBlood a royal lineage]]. So there's plenty of friction between her and the people as a result.
* PetTheDog: She takes time to protect a small orphan child by rendering them invulnerable.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous: Beatrice considers the concept of "republic" to be punishable by guillotine.

!!Strife
-->'''Played by:''' Josh Strife Hayes

----
* TheHilarityOfHats: Strife the bard wears an enormous floppy red hat with fur trim, and treats the prospect of losing it as SeriousBusiness.
* TheMunchausen: Strife the bard is an inveterate teller of tall tales about his own accomplishments and the alleged accomplishments of alleged family members, to the point of claiming that his great-grandfather played a key role in the founding of Vogler while talking to ''Vogler's own mayor''.
* YouOweMe: As a price for giving Strife [[spoiler:back his cool hat, which they'd extorted as the price of an earlier favour]], Corvus stipulates that Strife now owes them a favor to be specified at a later date. (Although, they add, given that this is a one-shot, perhaps not that much later.)

!!Harold
-->'''Played by:''' Luke Westaway

[[/folder]]

!!!Adventure Skeletons

[[folder:The party]]
!!In general

* AntiHeroCrew: The group are not a traditional adventuring party, and their morality seems to be BlueAndOrangeMorality at best.
* EveryoneHasStandards: The quartet immediately steps up to stop [[spoiler:the evil that the town summons]]. While this is primarily so they can keep having fun, there's an element of genuine horror.
* NonHumanUndead: Three of the party used to be non-humans before dying. [[DownplayedTrope Having said that]], they were ''humanoid'': [[spoiler:orcish, goblin and elvish]].
* PunnyName: Both "Lionel Spinel" and "S. Kelly" fit the bill.

!!Lionel Spinel

* BowelBreakingBricks: Bowel-Breaking Bricks: Lionel's approach to collecting eggs from the farm's hens is to scare them in the hope they'll drop an egg in fright. He's so successful that he frightens eggs out of all the hens ''and'' the rooster. [[spoiler:It subsequently turns out to work on humans, too.]]
* TheDeadHaveEyes: PlayedForLaughs when he takes a gravekeeper's eyeballs and puts them in his eye sockets. It does nothing functionally, just looks funny.
* MythologyGag: His voice emulates Efelfrith's Chosen from the "main universe" ''Oxventure'', albeit not quite as much as Johnny's voice for Cursed Skeleton No. 18.

!!Cursed Skeleton No.18
-->'''Played by:''' Johnny Chiodini
----
* DoWrongRight: Cursed Skeleton No.18 objects strongly to the way Benny is treating the victims of his scam, but mainly on the basis that if they all die of malnutrition there'll be nobody left to take advantage of.
* EveryoneHasStandards: The skeletons are in general very casual about whether the humans they encounter get damaged, but Cursed Skeleton No.18 gets very angry at a farmer who skives off to town and leaves his young son to do all the work on the farm.
* OldShame: He's not proud of his life prior to becoming a skeleton, because he [[spoiler:was an elf with a whimsical name and a tendency to skip around singing]].

!!Dr S. Kelly
-->'''Played by:''' Jasper Cartwright
----

!!Boney Emily

!!The grave-keeper
----

!!The village
