Several of the Heroic Masters and Warriors were at He-Man’s side, as were several of Skeletor’s usual henchmen. It was unclear what caused the blast of blinding energy, but in the end the two chief combatants were no more and the remaining forces were left with more questions than answers. This whole time King Randor was under the impression his son was abroad with Orko. Now so much time has passed he’s beginning to wonder about the safety of Prince Adam. For the past year Man-At-Arms, the Sorceress, and Orko have done everything they could to figure out what’s become of He-Man and Skeletor. To this day they’re no closer to the truth. The Heroic Masters had mostly disbanded over time. Now only Mecha-Neck, Ram Man, Teela, and Man-At-Arms helped the Royal Guard defend the city of Eternos. On a day like any other Lord Masque chose to attack the capitol city again, making his presence known with shadow dragons and serpents bringing terror to the peoples outside of the city walls.[/i] [h2]Episode List[/h2] Ep. 1 – The Beginning: With He-Man and Skeletor missing for nearly a year, Lord Masque attempts to attack the Royal Palace. Man-At-Arms put a call out to former Masters as well as his younger brother, but who else will answer? Ep. 2 – The Silver Swordsman: Who’s the mysterious guy flying around with the strange sword? He’s not what anybody expects and he spells doom for everyone on the planet. Ep. 3 – The Chaos King: The Silver Swordsman’s master is revealed and his plans for Eternia are made clear. He wants the Star Seed beneath Castle Grayskull, but what can the Sorceress bring to the party for our new cast of heroes? [h2]Later this season…[/h2] Ep. 4 – The Legends: After the Sorceress exhausted her energy last episode to empower the heroes, Evil Lyn and Marzo attack Castle Grayskull. And is that… Prince Adam? Ep. 5 – The Prodigal Son: With Prince Adam back at the Palace all seems well, and Orko finally leaves Grayskull to investigate. Before Orko can make any sense of it Skeletor returns out of nowhere when Beast Man attempts to breach the Palace walls. Ep. 6 – The Machine Messiah: Unknown to Zodak and his cosmic allies, an entity makes itself known on Eternia and seemingly returns He-Man. Who is man, and who is machine? And what did it do to Tri-Clops? [center][img] https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/817832350204297236/866387220578566146/unknown.png[/img][/center] [h2]Rules:[/h2] 1.) No back-to-back posting. Posting will be restricted to 3-4 posts per player per Episode. Larger storylines will have higher post caps as well as Character-centric Eps. 2.) PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND SET-UPS!! 3.) Make sense. If we can't make heads or tails of your posts they're likely to get skipped over. 4.) Get permission before using another player's character in your posts if it involves changing the scene or making actions. Everybody will take beatings in this game in battle however, so don't get pissed if you get punched or blasted into a wall by the bad guys! Namely me or the Co-GM controlling the badguys... 5.) Problems with the game or players should be sent directly to me or the Co-GM through PM's. I don't want a bunch of bickering in the OOC. And I don't particularly like it when some random argument costs the game players and story potential. So don't be dicks to each other, just send your concerns to us. 6.) Abandoned characters will be used as NPC's or killed off within the context of the story. 7.) “I was waiting for [insert player/character] to make a move” is not how this game is played. 8.)

Man-At-Arms, also called Duncan, came into the throne room after passing the royal guards stationed by the doorway. “It’s Lord Masque. There’s several shadow serpents just outside of the city walls, however Masque himself is riding a shadow dragon.” Duncan explained removing his helmet and revealing the manliest of mustaches. “Can the Palace defenses hold him off?” the King asked. “Many of the Royal Guard along with Teela and Ram Man are on the edge of the city taking on the serpents. Mecha-Neck is seeing over the turrets and trying to take the dragon out of the air. I put out a call to all of the former Masters just in case, although many of them haven’t responded recently.” Duncan continued explaining. [h3]Ten Minutes Earlier…[/h3] “Masters, this is Man-At-Arms. The Royal Palace is under attack. Lord Masque has returned. Repeat, Lord Masque has returned!” Duncan said into some sort of communications device that looked super advanced but really only had basic functions. He moved to another table in his workshop where there was another smaller device that was hand held and not jacked into a table or wall. The Man-At-Arms looked at the device and spoke. “Malcom? The palace is under attack. I could use your help, brother.” The bearded hero heard the device from across his home. He essentially lived in a bachelor’s tree house deep within the forests outside of the city walls. He could hear the dragon in the sky as well. Roughly two miles away near the city walls Teela and Ram Man fought the shadow serpents, one of which was trying to squeeze the life out of one of the Royal Guards.
