Out of Time Campaign

Well folks, thanks to a number of silly events in life, this campaign's web page got shortened from the original plan. But, after a few hiccups with the Deadlands Noir Campaign, I.E. the alleged destruction and rebuilding of New Orleans.

And, in a possible drunken moment, the birth of the idea of Deadlands through Time...

So, the group created All new characters to stop an unknown agent from assassinating important people, disrupting indian rituals, and generally destroying the future timeline beyond recognition.

Our heroes:

Salamander - an Eastern storm Dragon Kin on his own mission to save the world and find his redemption.

Bruce Leroy - a Blackenese Chi Master who is searching for the one armed man, and only wants to be the best around.

Merceles (aka Mercedes) - a slutty little Whateley who found her way into blood magic, with the help of a familiar demoness named Harlene...

Tobassco, a Mexican gunslinger looking to find out what has happened to his family. (dead)

Professor Stone - a mad scientist trying to discover the means to eternal life.

Undead Sharpshooter?

Bathroom Salesman - a born entrepreneur, making his living in the old west selling a toilet to everyone...

Marcus Wheelweather - a dhampir preacher who is finding the balance between blood and faith...

These fine gentlefolk find themselves suddenly mindlinked to a bunch of folk from the future, and are off to make sure that the ghostdancers in the Sioux nations complete a ritual in order to preserve the future timeline, and avoid an apocalypse...

But on the way things don't quite go as planned. Even though the party Saves the Damsel in Distress (Christine Whateley), she ends up being as bad as the Reckoners.

She uses the heroes to preserve the timeline to her liking, then tricks the group into retrieving two powerful artifacts for her. Her ultimate goal, is speculated to be to reassemble the spear of destiny for some nefarious purpose.

After her betrayal of the group, the party is forced to clean up her mess, and suppress the awakening of the Western Dragon God by defeating his minions, and forcing it back into its prison.

In the aftermath, each of the group settles in to pursuing their goals:

*Marcus Wheelwither knows that Christine will try to find and claim the last piece of the spear, the Stave. He spends close to 25 years in search of the elusive object. Using the resources of his group's company and records from the Church, he tracks the last object to a small town very near the battlefield of Gettysburg. In a small, out of the way cemetery, an old man is slowly digging a grave. Marcus engages the old man in conversation, even helps him dig the hole. The old man calls himself Jude, and warns Marcus that what he seeks is steeped in blood, and has the power to change the world. That he knows of Christine, and seeks to thwart whatever her plans are. He then tells Marcus that the thing he seeks is the shovel handle in his hands, and sends him on his way with a warning to keep it out of Christine's hands at all costs.

As Marcus leaves, and as time goes by, he realizes that there was a strong possibility that he had been talking to The Judas from the good book, cursed by God for his betrayal to live as a vampire.

In order to keep an eye on the staff, Marcus and Bruce Leroy pal around together. They have Zanny adventures all over the globe over the next 25 years, waiting for the right moment to lure Christine out.

Bruce Leroy spends about five years consolidating all of the group's business ventures under one holding company called ???. Once the money I flowing, He takes 20 or so years to train with Musashi on Oregon and becomes proficient in the Way of the Fives Rings style of fighting. His fighting prowess and considerable reputation attract followers and disciples who are interested in training with him. He then receives word from Marcus about the staff, and begins his travels with his old friend. During one of their travels, after helping some Tibetian monks defeat Flesh-eating ghosts, Bruce feels a pull to the top of the world. He teleports to the top of Mt. Everest, and receives a vision from Relic in the Nexus. They manage to communicate to each other that the group in the Nexus is in mortal danger, and that Christine has gained control of the House, and all of its doors. Relic is trapped. But Relic has the means to keep the Noir group from harm. So, at an agreed upon date, Bruce and Marcus intend to create a distraction, allowing Relic to free the group and hopefully retaking control of the Nexus.
