“The Menacing Mantis is fallen, but the families have been taken by a second group of misshapen animalistic humans with a knack for ground tactics. But our heroes have spent a lot of resources on the night’s attack, can they hope to help the families? Or will they risk them by taking time to rest? We shall see…”

so a bit of a story to this one, on several fronts.
The Game: Disney: Villains Victorious. A pet project from 4chan on an alternate Disney universe. A dark alternate world of Disney, spanning a globe where the villains of all the Disney movies have won. Governor Ratcliffe’s bloodline rules the Virginia Colonies where the Native Americans are a vulnerable and near-extinct presence, Queen Ursula terrorizes any who dare to cross the seas, and Judge Frollo leads a righteous crusade against the sadistic fairies of Malificent’s lands and the non-believers of Jafar’s Agrabah. The heroes are missing, defeated, or worse, and the little folks are trampled underfoot in the wars and machinations of sadistic rulers. It’s up to a reindeer farmer, a questionably royal princess, and a loopy pilot from Wonderland to see if they can make a difference enough against gods, devils and twisted human beings to fix a whole world gone wrong.
Characters:
Gustav: a mountain of a man from the frigid lands of Erendelle. Reindeer farmer, folk hero, and friend to man and beast. Would rather make a friend than he would headbutt you to death (though he’s tough could do either). Gustav wanders the land selling his deer until he finds himself shipwrecked at the secluded castle in Ireland, where he makes two very distinct friends. He keeps a smile on his face, weights in his wristbands, and a tiny piece of a broken goddess in his belt.
Aideen: princess of Ireland… she thinks. She has a dented crown, a beat-up old sword, and a rundown castle to prove it… kinda. But she can sing, talk to animals, and communicate with/summon fae. And that’s what makes a real Disney princess, right? The fact that there’s no one left alive in Ireland (stuck right between the territory of Mor’du the demon bear and the Black Cauldron) to tell her otherwise. So when the rest of the party arrives, she dares to go out, see the world outside of her rundown castle, and try to get strong enough allies to free her land from the grasp of the terrors that live there.
Rutabaga: a shapeshifting, humanoid… character from Wonderland. Sent by the Queen of Hearts to fetch Alice and make things right in her homeland. Came crashing out of the sky riding a seagull, lending her talents Aideen and Gustav to fix their ship, fend off pirates, and… drink tea.
The Story of the Game: so this started as text game. Then we realized we all had mics at last, so we went to voice. Then we realized Dischord can record with some wrangling, so we decided to record it. So the short version is in pursuing their goals, they ended up in the Virginia Colonies, befriended some of the natives, and beat up the Big Bad Wolf in exchange for a room in a barn to sleep in. They met with the shaman of the tribes who agreed to clue them in on where Rudabaga could find Alice in exchange for removing the racist, tyrannical governor Ratcliffe from power. If you want more details, I kept a sort of log on the “official” forums for the game.
